I love trendy makeup, but sometimes you really need tried and true “staples”. A great example of when those go-to timeless shades are needed is in the office! MAC’s Office Hours Collection for Fall 2012 is an organized collection of timeless feminine shades in long-lasting formulas that are perfect for work.

The Perfect Face

An item on the visual.ly website set us thinking. They’d conducted a survey to discover Britain’s opinion on the best celebrity body parts. The result revealed that curves are back in fashion, as suggested by Hello Magazine’s article.

But it was the section on the perfect face that started our brains whirling. It seems that the perfect woman would have Cheryl Cole’s eyes and hair, and Angelina Jolie’s nose and lips. While we were considering the fact that the e-fit they produced from these parts is significantly less attractive than either, we started wondering: which celebrity has the best skin? And if we could establish at least a short list, what could we learn from them? [Read more…] about The Perfect Face

MAC Face and Body

Available as of Sept 13, 2012, MAC Face and Body collection includes shades of naked for all skin tones and for use from head to toe!

I had the opportunity to test drive Pro Sculpting Cream and Pressed Pigment in both light and dark skin shades.

I immediately adored the pressed pigments. These pans are filled with pigment pressed down into a more typical eye shadow form. However, drag a brush across the surface and the formula becomes as loose and dusty as loose powder pigment! Light Touch is a peachy pale naked, and Deeply Dashing is a dark teak brown. Both have tons of sparkle. Each pigment has a creative name, but if you browse on the MAC website you can see which foundation shade it would match. [Read more…] about MAC Face and Body

Paul Mitchell: Truth About Curls

As a teenager in the 80s, I embraced my naturally curly tresses and wore my hair curly almost every day. I wasn’t alone. Almost EVERY girl at my high school sported curly hair, and was proud of it. In the 90s, this trend came full-circle, and those of us blessed with curly hair decided to hide behind flat irons and chemical processes.

I’m not sure about you, but I’ve noticed the trend changing yet again. Curls and waves are slowly making their way back into the mainstream. Unlike the kinky curls of yesteryear, today’s wavy tendrils are smooth and controlled. Product assistance is required for most of us!

To meet the need, Paul Mitchell has launched their Truth About Curls Campaign, to introduce you to their new “Curls” hair care product! The lineup includes four products formulated to create the ultimate head of curls: Spring Loaded Detangling Shampoo, Full Circle Leave-in Treatment, Ultimate Wave, and Twirl Around.

Stay tuned to Raging Rouge! I’m embracing my curly roots, so to speak, and trying out this new line of Paul Mitchell products to see if I can fall in love with curls all over again!
