Jean-Michelle Quartette Lumineux Eyeshadow Reviews And Swatches: Golden Fantaisie!
Both gloss shades provide buildable color and have a delicious ripe strawberry scent. The scent appeals to my inner child, and the luxe minimalisting packaging speaks to my adult self.
I absolutely adore shadow quads. When beauty brands pick the shades that compliment each other, it takes all of the guesswork out of makeup application! I was thrilled when I recently sampled the Jean-Michelle Quartette Lumineux Eyeshadow Quad in Golden Fantaisie (swatches below). This eyeshadow quad teams up a deep chocolate shade, a rusty warm bittersweet shade, an always-useful ivory and an edgy golden military green. They’re neutral, but with a special twist to make them stand out in a sea of browns.
Jean-Michelle shadow is so silky and blendable, it made application seem a cinch (even with the darker shades). The shadows in Golden Fantaisie are decidedly sophisticated, and the long-wearing formula makes it the perfect pick for any woman with a jam-packed calendar.
Retail price is $22.50 on Cosmetique.com.

Jean-Michelle Lip Coleur Liquide Reviews And Swatches: Bordeaux and Rose Jardin
Just when I think I’ve sampled everything, in-the-know beauty insiders pass along a new goody for me to share with Raging Rouge readers!
The team at Cosmetique.com recently introduced me to the brand Jean-Michelle. I had the chance to sample two of their sublime, buttery gloss shades and one silky eyeshadow quad.
Pictured at left are Jean-Michelle Lip Couleur Liquide Glosses. Immediately upon application, I couldn’t help but wonder if this gloss was officially the least sticky gloss I have ever worn! The formula is so smooth and emollient, it simply glides on the lips and feels almost like a balm. Another huge pro? The Jean-Michelle Lip Couleur Liquide Glosses deliver bright, frosty, buildable color perfect for Summer 2010.
Pragmatism aside… the product and super-luxe minimalist bottle appeal to sophisticated women, but the ripe strawberry scent appeals to the fun-loving little girl in us all! Seriously, what a delightful surprise it was to smell that delicious scent!
Swatch above: Bordeaux. This pale frosty shade of taupe calls attention to a tan like none other, and goes with EVERYTHING.
Swatch above: Rose Jardin. This deep raspberry shade is a must for Summer 2010.
Retail price is $15 per gloss at Cosmetique.com

AG Hair Cosmetics School:girls Review
AG Hair Cosmetics is working hard to provide education to young girls living in impoverished African countries. Their slogan? Educate a girl. Teach a village. Change a nation.
Last year, AG Hair Cosmetics raised $250,000 toward this lofty goal, and with help from tress-obsessed consumers, will do it again this year! Want to do your part? $6 from the sale of every pack of AG Hair Cosmetics School:girls will be donated to the Ganze Girls School in Kenya. Currently, the school has only three classrooms and two bathrooms for over 300 female students!
The set includes AG’s protein-rich tech two shampoo and conditioner light. They’re personal favorites of mine, as they moisturize dry hair without making it feel greasy or heavy. I’m also fond of the candy-sweet scent!
Retail is $19.99
