Newest Faces For Mac Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper
The pair will both have their own lipsticks for the line including MAC Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick and Viva Glam Cyndi Lipstick which will retail for $14 (approx £8.50). 100% of the proceeds will go to the MAC AIDS Fund. I know one thing I will definitely be picking up the MAC Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick hoping of course that it looks pretty just as much as it will help out the cause.

Holiday 2009 Yves Saint Laurent Holiday Look Collection
Leaving glitter behind, Yves Saint Laurent opts for the ultimate chic of pure, vibrant, incandescent colors. From sublime red to deep plum, the shades adapt with variable textures, multiple effects and powerful combinations. Worn alone in a refined monochrome or paired in contrasting duos, they are intensely alive and designed to be freely expressed for an instinctive, ultra couture make-up look.
Glamour Product
As a treat for yourself or as a gift, two precious objects stir desire. They go everywhere, are as eye-catching as couture accessories, and they glorify lips and eyes in an instant. Gold or silver, these sparkling compacts are engraved with the emblematic Yves Saint Laurent heart. Their black vinyl straps slip onto a key ring, handbag or belt. For daytime or night time, for lips or eyes, they feature two harmonious duos for liberated, intuitive application.
- PALETTE DUO POUR LES LÈVRES illuminates the lips with a shiny rosy-beige lipstick and a pearly champagne gloss.
- PALETTE DUO POUR LES YEUX lights up the eyes with a pearly lavender used as a highlighter, and outlines them with intense violet.
Mini Touche Blush N°11
The mini version of TOUCHE BLUSH slips into any evening bag. With its soft, faithful puff and mirror, it enhances the face’s voluptuous curves and the décolleté. The new shade N°11 – Sparkling Beige, a slightly scintillating coral beige, gives the skin a subtle ivory aura. A few caressingly soft touches suffice for instant, ultra-feminine radiance.
Collection
- Rouge Pur Lipstick: N°149 – Black Tulip, N°150 – Sublime Red, N°151 – Sweet Dark Purple, N°152 – Pink Grenadine
- Golden Gloss: N°17 – Golden Cherry, a rich red, N°18 – Golden Lavander, a subtle mauve
Collection
- Eyeshadow Duo: N°1 – Heavenly Beige/ Astral Brown
- Dramatic Styling Mascara: N°1– Deep Black
- La Laque: N°1 – Sublime Red and N°34 – Black Tulip

Aveda does rocker chic hair for 'Jimmy Choo for H&M' launch party
Show: JIMMY CHOO FOR H&M
Lead Hair: Ginger Boyle for Aveda, Planet Salon, Beverly Hills, CA
The Look:
The look is very rock and roll—edgy and imperfect with thick, ruffled texture. A new flat-iron technique creates square-shaped waves for easy, rocker chic style.
Get the Look/Step-by-Step:
* Step 1: Separate hair into top and bottom sections, creating a horizontal line from ear to ear. Further divide the top section into two to three layers, depending on the amount of hair. Twist and secure each layer at the top of the head with a hair clip.
* Step 2: Spray bottom section of hair with Aveda Air Control™ Hair Spray for shine and workable hold.
* Step 3: Beginning with the bottom section of hair and working in one-inch sections, flat-iron hair beginning at the roots, and stopping about one to two inches from ends. Wrap the closed flat-iron around straightened hair as if using a curling iron. Repeat throughout bottom section of hair, alternating the direction of the curl with each piece.
* Step 4: Wrap waves three at a time into loose braids and wind into rosettes. Secure loosely against the head with clips, helping to set the curls.
* Step 5: Repeat steps with additional layers of hair, moving upwards and leaving the top layer untouched.
* Step 6: Release remaining top section of hair from clip and create a middle part from forehead to crown.
* Step 7: Separate two-inch long pieces of hair along the middle part. Hold sections vertically between two fingers and backcomb the bottom two inches of hair, closest to the root. Flat-iron each backcombed portion to set texture and enhance volume.
* Step 8: Once all hair in the top layer has been backcombed and set with the flat-iron, gently comb the entire section of hair away from the face. Be careful not to comb out volume created at the roots.
* Step 9: Remove all hair clips, letting rosettes fall, and roughly rake fingers throughout to loosen waves. Spray Aveda Volumizing Tonic™ throughout to amplify volume.
* Step 10: Finish the look by creating a subtle side part. Lightly sprinkle Aveda Pure Abundance™ Hair Potion throughout the roots and massage into scalp for added volume and matte texture.
Aveda Products Used:
Aveda Air Control™ Hair Spray
Aveda Volumizing Tonic™
Aveda Pure Abundance™ Hair Potion
Ginger Boyle Quotes:
Q: What was your inspiration for this look? How did you collaborate with the designer to create the look?
“Jimmy and I sought to create a hair look inspired by the feeling you get when putting on a Jimmy Choo shoe: you just melt into it. The look is organic and naturally flowing, yet sexy, edgy and tousled.”
Q: How could a woman achieve this look on her own?
“This look is sexy and easy to recreate for day or evening wear. Prep hair with Aveda Volumizing Tonic™ for volume and flexibility. Working in one-inch sections, curl hair around a closed flat-or-curling iron, twisting and securing each curl atop the head with large hair clips. Remove all clips and sprinkle Aveda Pure Abundance™ Hair Potion at the root, massaging into the scalp for added volume and matte texture. To finish the look, rake fingers through hair and mist with Aveda Air Control™ Hair Spray for volume and hold.”

Nars Fall 2009 Swatches and Sheer Matte Foundation Review
As many of you know I've been on the hunt for my HG foundation and while I found one Bobbi Brown Oil-Free Even Finish Compact Foundation it's important to keep my options open. After all ladies love to have choices and foundation is no exception. My second favorite backup foundation is the new Sheer Matte in New Orleans, it's long lasting, highly pigmented, goes on smooth best applied with the Mac 187 brush or foundation brush and it keeps oil at bay for hours. I really love the finish, and the formula comes in all shades, and honestly I have never had a foundation match my complexion more closely then the New Orleans shade. Perfect! Along with the foundation I also picked up the New Orleans foundation powder to set my makeup for a more long lasting look.
From the Nars 2009 fall collection I couldn't help myself so I also grabbed the Tokaido express nail color ( which is the perfect fall purple) and Mekong eyeshadow. From the regular line I picked up stella lipgloss, and Mounia blush ( perfect for brown skin). You can see swatches below and if any of you are eying Nars blushes I'll be posting up pics from my whole collection soon. I have tons of Nars Blushes since they show up so well on my skin and last all day.
