Hey ladies!  How many of you have checked out M.A.C.’s latest and greatest collection called Too Fabulous? Well I am so excited about this line because for once it has made me excited about blush!  I have never been a huge blush person.  I mean I like it and I use it, but I don’t get excited over it like I do with eye shadows.  So when I saw that M.A.C. was coming out with these limited edition Mineralize Blush Duos, I actually squealed with joy.

In addition to the blushes, the Too Fabulous collection came out with six new Cremesheen Glass shades, brought back three highly requested old shades, and threw in about six lip pencils to complete.  I have posted below some samples of the blushes that I am just absolutely gaga over but definitely encourage you to check out the rest of the line as well.  It really is “Too Fabulous”.

Rhapsody in Two

Chic Couple

Sun and Moon

(as you can see I love the neutrals)

You can check out the entire line at maccosmetics.com (enter code FAB for free shipping) or your local M.A.C. counter at Nordstrom.

Until next time ladies…  xoxo

Hey girls!  As many of you know, M.A.C. VIVA GLAM and M.A.C. AIDS Fund are two very noteworthy programs that M.A.C. Cosmetics established in 1994 where every cent of the selling price from the Viva Glam line is donated to support men, women, and children living with HIV and AIDS.  With spokespeople like Mary J. Blige, Christina Aguilera, Pamela Anderson, and Dita Von Teese (among many fabulous others) heading their past campaigns, the VIVA GLAM campaign ads have become something M.A.C. makeup fans look forward to.  Well M.A.C. has now chosen two new incredible artists to represent the generations of women affected by this epidemic.  Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gaga are now gracing the VIVA GLAM ads you will be seeing and are helping to promote the sale of VIVA GLAM’s two new lip colors called Cyndi and Gaga.

Cyndi is a light coral-red

Gaga is a cool blue-pink

Now I am absolutely loving Gaga and definitely plan to stop by my local M.A.C. counter to try it out since these two colors will only be available for a limited time.  I hope you all will too as this is such a great cause and you can rest assured that every single penny you spend on the VIVA GLAM line will go directly towards the M.A.C. AIDS Fund.  And don’t forget that all of their past launches for VIVA GLAM can still be purchased as well so definitely check them out too!

Until next time girls…  xoxo

Hello my loves!  It’s almost three weeks until Valentine’s Day, my boyfriend’s favorite holiday.  And yes, you read that right…  Not mine but my boyfriend’s favorite holiday.  I know, I’m probably one of the luckiest girls on earth!  So all the more reason to get dolled up and beautiful on this special day for my man.

Well who else but M.A.C. would come out with the perfect collection to get your kissers ready for a night of holiday passion?  M.A.C.’s Have a Love Affair collection is a mixture of some of M.A.C.’s hottest lip pencils, lipsticks, and Dazzleglass Cremes that are sure to bring out the flirt in you.  Some of my faves from the collection are: Lady Danger, Lickable, and Creme Allure.  I mean, even the names sound tempting.  So check it out and have a little fun this holiday.  Whether you’re taken or single, every girl can enjoy this collection.

Until next time my loves…  xoxo

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

Happy Monday ladies!  How was everyone’s weekend?  I hope all my east coasters were able to safely enjoy the snowstorm.  I spent most of my weekend staying warm and cozy right here inside the apartment.  There was no way I was trekking through the snow to head out to holiday parties and what not.  But now that the storm has passed and I’m able to make it out for a little more holiday shopping, trust that I will be passing by my local M.A.C. counter to pick up some digs from their new winter collection aptly named Warm & Cozy.

Launching this week, Warm & Cozy by M.A.C. is the perfect winter collection including lots of yummy neutrals as well as great skincare to help soothe and heal what the harsh weather has caused.  Earthy combos have always been my fav so I feel like this collection was made just for me! And with the Mineralize All Over Lotion and the Care Blends Essential Oils, my skin is sure to start feeling divine!

Check out some pics of the collection below and head to maccosmetics.com for some fabulous samples of makeup looks.  And in case you were looking to place an order online, enter promo code OVERNIGHT at checkout for free overnight shipping until tomorrow evening.

Until next time ladies…  xoxo

with two of my favorite beauty brands:

M.A.C. and Kiehl’s.

In honor of World AIDS Day, M.A.C. artists all over the world are volunteering for several different AIDS-related charities. In New York City, three M.A.C. stores will also be matching dollar-for-dollar the sales of Viva Glam lipsticks and lip glasses for the M.A.C. AIDS Fund, which has donated more than $150 million dollars to fight HIV/AIDS.  The store that sells the most will then match two-for-one!  If you’re in the NYC area, head to one of these three locations to participate:

148 Columbus Avenue (at 66th Street)

175 Fifth Avenue (at 22nd Street)

202 West 125th Street (at 7th Avenue)

Kiehl’s is also promoting a Limited Edition Hand Salve where 100% of net profits from the sale of this item will benefit amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research.  At only $12.50 and completely necessary for the dry weather this time of year, it makes shopping for a cause worthwhile.

Shop and show support with some other well-known RED brands that I love

such as GAP and Starbucks as well.

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

Now let me tell you, this collection is like WHOA!  I’ve never personally been a lover of bold, dark makeup on myself.  But this collection, and these colors, are simply to die for!  And with fall coming up, and Halloween around the corner, I can’t think of a better time to start being more dramatic.  I picked up two of the Mineralize Eye Shadows in Gilt By Association and Young Punk, and the Glimmerglass in Bling Black.

I absolutely fell in love when I saw these shadows.  They are a sheer, pearled, mineralized powder with two shades baked together into one pan.  They are very lightweight and leave a reflective shimmer that literally changes with every angle.  It’s A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!  I wanted to go for the black with silver pearl called Cinderfella but felt like I was being too boring by not getting one with color.  So I went for the black with pinkish purple pearl (say that three times in a row!) called Young Punk instead.  And because I love my golds and bronzes, I had to get Gilt By Association which is black with gold/bronze pearl.

Now I wasn’t brave enough to try out the darker lip glosses in Blackware and Blackfire, so I went with the safer Glimmerglass in Bling Black.  This lightweight gloss contains variously sized gold pearl particles combined with a sheer black gloss giving enough pop and sparkle to take this conservative lip person to the next level.  I really love it and definitely don’t feel like a freak wearing it!

So for those of you who have not checked out this new line from M.A.C. you need to RUN, not walk, to your nearest counter or store and have a look for yourself.  I promise you will be walking out of there with SOMETHING! 

Until next time mis amores…  xoxo

** UPDATE 09.30.09 **  I’m going back today to pick up the Mineralize Eye Shadow in Cinderfella.  I missed it so much I had a dream about it…
