Fall

MAC Dare To Wear Collection: Dare To Wear Lipglass

mac cosmetics dare to wear collection fall 2010

The MAC Cosmetics Dare To Wear Collection is for a special kind of gal… the one who not only refuses to be ignored, but makes a complete scene in order to be the center of attention!

Dare To Wear–a limited-edition makeup collection for Fall 2010– contains super-bright shadows in rainbow colors, and daringly bold lipglass shades with metallic finishes.

I’m loving these in-your-face shades, though I must admit they wouldn’t really look appropriate for my day-to-day. Still, I plan to keep Wind Me Up in my rotation, and I’m stashing Bold & Brash for the next date night!

Estee Lauder Pure Color Eyeshadow: Sepia Sand

Estee Lauder has recently introduced the NEW Pure Color EyeShadow! The collection contains an incredible 48 shades in 4 different finishes (matte, satin, luminous and metallic)! I’ve been playing with the latest and greatest formula, and am extremely impressed. The color is so intense, and so rich, and so… well, it’s just perfect!

I recently had the opportunity to sample Estee Lauder’s Pure Color EyeShadow in Sepia Sand (satin finish). This medium putty-shade is a must have for women who love to keep it simple. Sepia Sand is a one stop shop! It’s such a beautiful, neutral shade, it can be applied to the lids and/or crease, blended upward and worn stand-alone.

Retail price is $20 per shadow.

NARS Pure Sheer SPF Lip Treatment In Aurore And Greta

nars cosmetics pure sheer spf lip treatment I (sniff, sniff) am not preparing to go “back to school”. But those who are should should be on the hunt for a lip treatment with SPF, like the latest from NARS.

NARS Pure Sheer SPF Lip Treatment has caused quite the stir in Hollywood! But aside from its status as a beauty staple among the glitterati, there are some practical reasons for co-eds to select this product. 1) It’s available in a variety of shades, from dark to pale. 2) It imparts a natural look, perfect for day wear. 3) It has an SPF 15, to help protect your pucker from the sun while you’re attending all of those Fall football games. 4) The added Vitamin E helps to keep lips moist and healthy.

I had the opportunity to sample two shades of NARS Pure Sheer SPF Lip Treatment: Aurore and Greta. Both are gorgeous neutral shades that are universally flattering. In fact, I’m still not sure which I prefer… they’re both so gorgeous!
