Urban Decay has created a Book of Shadows exclusively for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland and you can be the first to know about by signing up at UrbanDecay.com! I mean just look at it… Isn’t it fun? Included in the set are 16 of Urban Decay’s best selling shadows, two mini versions of their infamous 24/7 Eye Pencils, and their ever-so-fabulous Eyeshadow Primer Potion.

I’ve already signed up to be first in line for this once-in-a-lifetime set!  Have you?

Anyway, my boyfriend and I decided to take it a little easy this year and ended up ringing in the new year at our favorite French bistro in NYC, Deux Amis.  So because we weren’t doing anything too crazy, I decided to keep my makeup look fairly simple.  I literally used only two eye shadow colors, one eye liner, and mascara! It’s such a simple look that anybody can recreate it with ease.  But most importantly, I was so happy to use some of my new MUFE digs.

I started with MUFE ES #169 in the outer corner/contour and blended in M.A.C. ES Crystal Avalanche from the inner corner.  I lined my upper lids with MUFE Aqua Eyes 21L (which is literally the same color as the shadow) and the bottom lids with M.A.C. ES Crystal Avalanche.  I used YSL Singulier Mascara and VOILA!  My 2010 New Year’s Look was complete!  I hope you like it and wish you all the Happiest New Year yet!

Until next time…  xoxo

Hey babes!  I just wanted to share with you guys this new Sephora-exclusive from Laura Mercier.  It’s called the Laura Mercier Eye Book ($45) and it’s the perfect little palette for any lovely lady.  The palette contains two eye color quads (Gold Glisten and Silver Shine), two eye liners (Mahogany Brown and Black Ebony), as well as a mini double-ended eye color/flat eye liner brush.  You can’t beat the price, as just the brush alone would normally make up for it.  Plus, it’s perfect for doing makeup on the run and great for creating a variety of looks like the smoky eye.

Just note that the silvers are more of a blue-ish silver and the browns are more on the golden side.  Also, don’t freak out if you get a powder eye liner in your palette as the liners need to be applied wet for a longer lasting look. 

Until next time babes…  xoxo

bareMinerals has always been one of my favorite brands for daytime makeup.  I just love that they are 100% pure and natural and always strive to make putting on makeup super easy and fun (even when your in a rush getting ready in the morning).  They constantly come out with great tutorial sets catering to the complexion and eyes as well as collections of some of their best shades.  Well this holidays season bareMinerals has done it again with a set that I would love to see under my Christmas tree! 

bareMinerals Wealth of Beauty Collection is a 21-piece set that includes a multitude of products for the eyes, cheeks and lips.  Included in this rainbow of hues are thirteen eye colors, two liner shadows, two blushes, two 100% natural lipglosses, a mini contour shadow brush for the eyes, and a starter-size eyelid primer.  It’s a beautiful collection of colors that can be mixed and matched however your little heart desires.  And with that many color options in the set, the results are endless!

I know I’m keeping MY fingers crossed for this one… 

Until next time ladies…  xoxo

Hey babes!  So lately I’ve been trying to be strong and steer clear of the M.A.C. cosmetics counters because the pockets are hurtin’ a little bit right now.  Plus, I’ve been dying over their holiday collection Magic, Mirth and Mischief since it’s release earlier last month.  If you have not checked out these sets, you absolutely MUST!  The entire collection is so much fun and really quite worth it if you’re looking to boost up your M.A.C. assortment of cosmetics.  Many of the sets contain miniature sizes of permanent shades and re-promotes that most of us will find much more affordable now that they are in a set.  Here are a few of the items I have chosen to be on MY wish list:

To view the entire collection, head to maccosmetics.com or visit your local M.A.C. counter at Nordstrom.

Until next time babes…  xoxo

My top priority is of course my baby cousin, Christin Rose.  She’s seriously the love of my life!  This year for Christmas, baby has asked for “a PSP and drawing stuff.”  She’s three years old and probably would have no idea what to even do with a PSP, plus I’m broke (LOL), so it looks like drawing stuff is on top of the list.  And I find it so much fun shopping for art supplies anyway since I myself am an addict for crayons, paints, and colored pencils (you should see my supply).  Plus it’s like shopping for makeup!!!  And that’s ALWAYS fun! 

One of my new favorite products that recently came out is MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Eyes Collector Set in honor of 25 years in the biz.  This limited edition set includes a full range of 25 different shades of their award-winning, waterproof eyeliner pencils.  Their creamy texture glides on easily for a precise application and can be immediately smudged after application to double as eye shadows.  The intensity of the colors is amazing and they can definitely be combined to create an endless amount of looks.  It’s absolutely a must-have for the serious makeup addicts who are always trying to create something different.  Plus it comes in a fabulous metal case that reminds me so much of the oil pastels or colored pencils I have sitting at my desk.  I love this set and I’m positive you will too!   Check it out below…

Until next time my beauties…  xoxo

Today, however, I MUST take this time you tell you ladies about my new favorite addition to my makeup collection.  And I know it seems like everything is my favorite but I really truly mean it this time!    I haven’t been this excited about getting a product in so long.  And when I received my box from Sephora, I ripped it open right away just to get even more excited by the packaging.

Bare Escentuals Radiance Rocks contains three glimmering rocks that were compressed solely by water to resemble what minerals look like in their most natural state.  It comes with a “Heavenly Kabuki Brush” that is so comfortably soft.  The minerals can be used on your eyes, cheeks, lips, body… shoot… you can pretty much use it anywhere! Just give the little brush a swirl and buff on these gorgeous 100% pure bareMinerals.  You can even pick up the rocks and apply them directly on.  They are the perfect way to keep that summer glow going throughout the fall.  And to make it even better, the rocks come in the most beautiful metallic pink box that it almost upsets me to look at the picture online because it doesn’t nearly do it justice!  Anyway, this product is absolutely fabulous in every way possible and I can’t wait to hear from those of you who try it out.

Oh, and just so you know, this is a limited edition product sold only at Sephora.  So get them fast girls.  I am sure this one is going to be a sell-out!

Until next time ladies…  xoxo

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils are now my new favs when it comes to eye liners.  I still love my Kohl liner from Laura Mercier, but they don’t make colors like these!  Not only are they super creamy and now waterproof, they come in every color of the rainbow too!  They miraculously stay soft and creamy for about 30 seconds (just enough time for blending), then dry down to a finish that will literally last all day!  All the colors go perfect with the rest of the Urban Decay line of Eyeshadows and come in such a beautiful array that you’ll want to buy them all!

Jojoba oil, Vitamin E, and Cottonseed Oil contribute to the creaminess of the liners so if you’re not trying to blend and simply looking for a line, try not to blink for a few and you’ll have your indestructible eyeliner.  It’s great!  Perfect for all-day wear and definitely perfect for a night out on the town!  These pencils officially have my stamp of approval.

Well I hope you are all safely enjoying your Labor Day!  Leave me a comment and let me know what you all did!

Until next time my friends…  xoxo

New from Dior’s Fall Collection is their Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Night Butterfly.   It’s a seductive palette of 5 rich colors that can be played up or played down depending on your mood.  The texture is easy to apply and lasts all day long as you would expect of Dior.  If you’re looking for an alternative that won’t hurt your pockets as much, check out Maybelline’s new Stylish Smokes Eyeshadow Quad in Amethyst, or Covergirl’s new Eye Enhancers in Ice Princess, which both come in 4 shades to create several different purple smokey eyes.

For eyeliners, check out this liquid liner by Kat Von D- Autograph Eyeliner in Homie.  And if you’re looking for something similar, that also won’t break the bank, try Almay’s Intense i-Color Liquid Liner in Purple Amethyst.

And to get a fun look for those pretty lashes, try out Guerlain’s Le 2 de Guerlain Mascara in Violet or Butterfly Sparkle, which comes with two brushes to make sure no lash is forgotten.  Or if you want to stay on the safe side, try one of my favorite mascaras Dior’s DiorShow Mascara in Plum.

Last but not least, we cannot forget the nail polish!  NARS Tokaido Express is new to their fall collection and is best described as black amethyst infused with gold.  It’s so chic and by far my favorite thing on this list.  It’s just a shame that I can’t wear such colors on my hands being in my profession.  But that’s ok!  I have my toes too! 

Try these out and let me know what other purple finds you come across!

Until next time dolls…  xoxo
