MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour Metallics

My favorite trend of the moment? Metallic matte lips! MAC has launched their classic 12 MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour Metallic shades with 3 completely new colors for you to explore! The finish is like a brushed metal, and has a softer look to it than a high-gloss metallic. The whipped consistency of this product also feels fabulous on the lips!

Make Up For Ever Lustrous Must Haves

Ok I’ll stop talking about holiday value sets REALLY soon, but just as an FYI some fabulous steals on limited-edition holiday sets are still available. Make Up For Ever Lustrous Must Haves for example, is a great pick if you’re looking for makeup to wear on your big Valentine’s date. This collection retails for $35 and it can still be purchased right on the Make Up For Ever website!

This value set contains a gorgeous starlet red Artist Plexi Gloss, Excessive Lash, Ultra HD Powder, Step1 Hydrating Primer, and Aqua XL Eye Pencil in black. These are all in a deluxe travel size, so they’re perfect for your purse, or for a vacation!

This Aqua XL Eye Pencil is a the same as a full-sized pencil, only shorter! It’s perfect for travel.

Tell me this Make Up For Ever Artist Plexi Gloss in #400 isn’t ideal for Valentine’s Day? The shade is a vivid orange-red that will dazzle in the candlelight.

Other Make Up For ever limited-edition sets from the holiday season are marked down by as much as 30% over at Sephora.com, so stock up while you can!

Splurge: The Tory Burch Fleming Triple Compartment Tote

Tory Burch Fleming Triple Compartment Tote Review

I’ll admit, this holiday season I decided to treat myself to a little somethin somethin. Using the Shopbop credits I receive for running their widget in the sidebar of this website, I decided to buy myself the Tory Burch Fleming Triple Compartment Tote. I’m crazy in love with this roomy–yet lightweight–bag. Made from the softest lambskin leather, the bag features a ladylike quilted pattern with brushed gold chain handles and a somewhat slouchy profile. It’s ideal for both dressing up or dressing down! The interior of the bag has two large open compartments, one large center zipped compartment, an open pocket on one side, and a zipped pocket on the other. It’s definitely roomy enough to accommodate your necessities and safely house little trinkets you might pick up while shopping.

The Tory Burch Fleming Triple Compartment Tote is available in three colors: New Mink (a pale peachy neutral), Imperial Garnet (a deep wine red), and Black. I’ll admit, I was torn between Black and Imperial Garnet. The garnet color is just so eye-catching and rich (and I’m obsessed with anything red). In the end I decided to go with basic black for versatility and have no regrets. The bag weighs approximately 33 ounces, has a height of 11 inches, length of 15 inches, and depth of 7.5 inches. The strap drop is a comfortable 9 inches, so the bag can be carried over the shoulder as a tote, or in the hand as a satchel.

Retail price is $598, but Imperial Garnet is sale for $419 at Tory Burch if you’re looking for a steal!

Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Metallic Matte Sculpting Lipstick, Limited Edition

When I was first told about the Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Metallic Matte Sculpting Lipstick, I thought the name was an oxymoron. After wandering around my house a bit, I realized metallic matte isn’t an impossibility! In fact, my bronze chandeliers and brushed chrome lamps are a perfect example of what a metallic matte looks like. Metallic shades needn’t have a gleaming, high-polish finish. Thanks to Estee Lauder, you can also achieve this sleek, modern look on the lips!
