Nars 2011 Fall Makeup Collection

Nars 2011 Fall Makeup Collection. As if we need more proof that blue eyeshadow is reigning this fall season, Nars comes out with a collection that features a beautiful blue eyeshadow that many makeup lovers will adore. The collection features in array of bold colors that will really make a statement this fall. Available in stores now.





Outremer Single Eyeshadow

French for “overseas,” the richly pigmented single eyeshadow—a bold blue hue—allows for a range of stunning eye effects, from soft and sheer to intense and fashion-forward.

Grand Palais Duo Eyeshadow


Named for the Parisian exhibition hall and museum complex near the Champs Elysées, this silvery taupe and dusty rose duo eyeshadow is a universally flattering, neutral palette. Wear each shade solo or layered for myriad soft effects.

NARS Delphes Trio Eyeshadow


The rich history of Delphi, Greece, the place of worship of the god Apollo, inspired this trio eyeshadow, which combines a sparkling sheer peach with a matte dove gray and a frosted sage. Wear each shade alone or experiment with combinations of two and three shades for a truly devotional look.

Oasis Lip Gloss


The perfect complement to a bold eye, this sparkling pink-champagne lip gloss works equally well alone or layered over lip color for a more nuanced look with pumped-up shine.

Train Bleu Velvet Matte Lip Pencil
This deep aubergine velvet matte lip pencil is as opulent as the infamous French night express train for which it’s named.

Pago Pago Lipstick


Named for the capital city of American Samoa in the South Pacific, this petal pink shimmering sheer lipstick delivers gentle color reminiscent of the islands.


Montego Bay Pure Matte Lipstick

Laced with moisturizing wild mango butter, this versatile rose-pink pure matte lipstick glides on with ease while delivering an ultra-matte finish.

Mascate Pure Matte Lipstick
The French name for the capital city of Oman, located on the Arabian Sea, this true red pure matte lipstick is both mysterious and dramatic.

Galion Nail Polish


This deep gray nail polish creates a luxe smoky look.

Look below to see Dior's newest collection which is perfect for this season since it not only offers great palettes featuring blue hues, but the perfect lipsticks , and liners to pair with it.



“Navy blue is the only color which can ever compete with black,” said Christian Dior.

Lips create the perfect complement in a range of luminous pinks and rosy beiges with a touch of light-reflecting gloss and nails catch the eye in dark blue and beige. The ultimate effect is a playful mix of masculine and feminine codes, a refreshing, modern take on the nighttime beauty look, inspired by a woman dressed in the tailored elegance of a tuxedo.

Smoking Blue Blue Tie Palette



Inspired by Dior’s ultra-glamorous silver cannage clutch, this chic metal palette features all of the smoky makeup essentials in one sleek compact. Inside features four shades of Dior Eyeshadow to create a smoky navy eye and one shade of nude lip gloss. An inside mirror and two double-tip applicators make for a quick, seamless application.

Fall 2011 Urban Decay Collection

Fall 2011 Urban Decay Collection. This Fall, Urban Decay yet again brings us some great products to love including a 15 Anniversary eyeshadow palette, waterproof eyeliners, and for those that love the perfect brow, the UrbanBrow Precision-Tip Brow Tint. Collection already available in most stores. Look below for more details.


15th Anniversary Eyeshadow Palette

* Midnight Rodeo Brown pearl with silver
* Tainted Pale matte purple with golden shimmer
* Deeper Deep shimmery golden brown
* Midnight 15 Oyster pearl with silver glitter
* Junkshow Metallic bright pink with slight blue shift
* MIA Dark velvet brown
* Vanilla Creamy white gold
* Omen Metallic bright purple with blue shift
* Ace Dark gunmetal
* Flow Soft peach shimmer
* Evidence Deep metallic blue
* Blackout Darkest, must saturated black
* Chase Bright bronze
* Deep End Bright teal
* Half Truth Deep greyish purple

24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner



This eyeliner lets you draw waterproof liquid lines so sharp they could cut glass. Urban Decay’s slender brush lays down long-lasting matte, slick, and shimmery shades sure to satisfy your color lust. Available in a veritable rainbow of long-lasting, highly-pigmented color options, these shades can be applied in thick or thin strokes with an ultra-fine brush tip that’s short and easy enough to control. The slim pens are conveniently color-matched to each shade.

* Bobby Dazzle White silver with iridescent sparkle
* Demolition Deep matte brown
* El Dorado Yellow gold with gold sparkle
* Perversion Carbon black
* Radium Bright blue with silver sparkle
* Retrograde Dark purple with purple sparkle
* Revolver Dark grey with iridescent sparkle
* Sabbath Deep matte navy
* Siren Teal with blue shift
* Smog Deep brown with golden shimmer & iridescent sparkle
* Woodstock Hot pink with iridescent sparkle

Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color



This formula delivers all the opaque, saturated, high-impact color of your favorite lipstick and an arresting high-gloss finish in one chubby pencil. And with a dynamic bright to deep shade range in creamy and sparkly textures, the runway-ready possibilities are endless. Even the glittery hues in this collection of high-gloss lip pencils feel smooth on your lips (and leave not a trace of sparkle grit). This conveniently portable pencil’s high-gloss shine can be blotted for a more stain-like effect, but no matter how you wear it, the color lasts. Free of mineral oil and paraffin, this formula contains plant-derived ingredients that nourish lips. Because the barrels and boxes are color-matched to each shade, locating the color you want is easy, even in the deep, dark depths of an oversize tote.

* Adrenaline Bright fuchsia sparkle
* Big Bang Bright pink with sparkle
* Crush Hot pink
* Fbomb Bright red cream
* Punch Drunk Bright orange cream

The Revolution High-Performance Lash Curler



This innovative “lash emancipator” abolishes one-size-fits-all curling. The open cage– without the bars on either side of the curler– lets you curl your lashes all at once or in sections without crimping, and without pinching your skin. Gone are the days of contending with a standardized cage that was clearly designed with someone else’s eyes in mind.

Lush Lash Mascara



This nourishing, thickening, and lengthening mascara is infused with peptides and moisturizing panthenol that allows your lashes to grow for a longer period of time. Its formula builds and beautifies so your lashes will grow longer and fuller over time. Used in conjunction with Urban Decay’s Lush Lash System (Growth Accelerating Serum and Conditioning Mask), it provides additional lash nourishment. This very enduring formula is not technically waterproof, but there was zero smudging or running after road-testing it in a hot yoga class. The outer component features a lush swirl motif, and the large hourglass-shaped brush provides generous mascara distribution. It’s the ideal mascara for anyone who suffers from brittle, fragile lashes, as well as those with great lashes who want to build and strengthen them even more.

UrbanBrow Precision-Tip Brow Tint

Toss your brow pencils and avoid harsh-looking, easily-smudged lines. Urban Decay’s brow tint fills in sparse areas and defines your overall brow shape with soft, natural-looking results! Color flows through the pen into their ultra-fine tip brush that allows for light, feathery strokes. The result is a soft, stain-like finish that won’t smudge. Available in Blonde and Brunette.

Nyx Cosmetics Blush Swatches

Nyx Cosmetics Blush Swatches. Earlier this week I went on a bit of a haul and grabbed quite a few NYX products. In the next up and coming weeks I'll be posting swatches of the items I grabbed and first up is blushes. Look below to see swatches from NYX cosmetics. I find that their blushes are pretty somewhat pigmented and you definitely have to blend them in really well in order for them to look polished and clean. The formula is pretty long lasting for blush, all of the ones below are in powder form.



Swatches of Copper, Terra Cotta, Sand







Swatches of Pinched , Pinky, Cinnamon, Red

Mac Semi Precious Swatches and Review

Mac Semi Precious Swatches and Review. For those of you who may have noticed, I haven't been doing much Mac swatches lately because honestly nothing has grabbed my attention. However, the Semi Precious collection definitely did. Not every item in the collection spoke to me, mainly just the eyeshadows so I picked up 5 of them. The color pay off is gorgeous, and you can of course wear them wet or dry. Look below to see my swatches.

Dior Mitzah Makeup Collection

Dior Mitzah Makeup Collection. Hitting stores this September for fall 2011, Dior brings us the Mitzah collection look below for more details.



Introducing the Dior Mitzah Collection, inspired by Mitzah Bricard, the audacious and glamorous muse to Christian Dior.

Born in Paris to an English mother and Austrian father, Mitzah Bricard captured the fascination of Christian Dior at the very beginnings of the house. While she was officially responsible for the Dior hat collection, she played a key role in advising and influencing the couturier on many aspects of the brand, including the creation of the ―New Look.

Known for her love of leopard (she wore a leopard scarf wrapped around her wrist at all times), the color lilac and over-the-top jewelry, it was said that Mitzah could ―turn the ordinary into stylish.

“Ms. Bricard is one of those rare people whose only reason for living is elegance,” Monsieur Dior said of his muse, whose unique extravagance helped inspire many of his designs.

The collection, featuring a limited edition 5-Couleurs Eyeshadow palette stamped in the iconic leopard pattern, two Vernis shades inspired by the same earthy print and a tawny, shimmering brown Diorshow mascara, pays homage to this one-of-a-kind woman.


The Collection

* Mitzah 5-Couleurs Eyeshadow
* Vernis in Camel / Ebony
* Diorshow Mascara in Golden Brown

Mitzah Collector Palette

Each numbered, limited edition eyeshadowpalette reproduces the legendary ―Jungle‖ panther/ leopard print—now a signature print of the House of Dior—favored by MitzahBricard. Shades of elegantcamel, chocolate brown and beige shadow can be applied separately or combined to create a sumptuous tawny shade.

Bobbi Brown Tortoise Shell Collection

Bobbi Brown Tortoise Shell Collection. This fall Bobbi Brown introduces the Tortoise Shell Collection. The collection features a variety of colors to bring focus to your eyes. Look below for more details. Available in stores now.



Bold glasses are as much a fashion staple as they are a personal statement. Now revered as a stylish accessory, a great pair of frames is a must have (and a great go-to on bad beauty days). Bobbi chooses between her iconic black frames and a pair of tortoise shell frames – ones which served as the inspiration behind her new Tortoise Shell Collection for fall. The Tortoise Shell Collection is Bobbi’s modern take on a classic look.

Stunning shadows in shades ranging from bronze to gold to espresso are housed in gorgeous tortoise shell compacts with gold detailing; one is for lighter skin and the other for darker complexions. To balance the warmer tones on the eyes, cheeks and lips are dressed up in soft nudes. And the good news is that if you do wear glasses, Bobbi designed the collection to complement—rather than compete with—your frames.


Tortoise Shell Bronze Eye Palette



A flattering collection of warm neutral makeup for medium to darker skin tones, this palette lets you go from soft to smoky in no time flat. The eight shadows in the Bronze Tortoise Shell Eye Palette are designed to be layered—there’s no blending required. Start with the lightest shade, then layer the darker shades until you get the desired intensity. Tortoise-shell glasses inspire the special limited-edition compact—Bobbi’s muse for this collection. Includes Banana Eyeshadow, Gold Nugget Sparkle Eyeshadow, Amber Shimmer Wash Eyeshadow, Copper Cocoa Shimmer Wash Eyeshadow, Tiger’s Eye Metallic Eyeshadow, Bronze Metallic Eyeshadow, Olive Sparkle Eyeshadow, Espresso Eyeshadow.

Tortoise Shell Sand Eye Palette



A palette for lighter skin tones, with light to dark shadows in flattering warm neutrals. This collection lets you go from soft to smoky in no time flat. The eight shadows in the Sand Tortoise Shell Eye Palette are designed to be layered—there’s no blending required. Start with the lightest shade, then layer the darker shades until you get the desired intensity. Tortoise-shell glasses inspire the special limited-edition compact—Bobbi’s muse for this collection. Includes Ivory Eyeshadow, Gold Bar Sparkle Eyeshadow, Desert Sand Metallic Eyeshadow, Terracotta Eyeshadow, Antique Rose Eyeshadow, Hot Stone Eyeshadow, Sandy Rose Metallic Eyeshadow, Black Chocolate Eyeshadow.

Rich Lip Color SPF 12

* Soft Nude
* Twig

High Shimmer Lipgloss

* Bare Sparkle
* Beach
* Citrus

Tortoise Shell Mini Brush Set

Bobbi’s essential brushes, perfectly sized for travel and on-the-go makeup application. Set includes four brushes: Mini Angle Eye Shadow, Mini Eye Sweep, Mini Blush and Mini Ultra Fine Eye Liner, all tucked into a chic tortoise shell case. In your evening purse, gym bag or carry-on, this brush set always fits.
