Bobbi Brown Shimmering Nudes Palette.

I have a major shopping trip planned for this Labor Day weekend, and this new palette from Bobbi Brown is at the top of my shopping list.

Nude makeup goes glam with a touch of glimmer in this new limited-edition Shimmering Nudes Palette. Flattering all complexions, it contains the perfect mix of seven cool and warm nude tones in both flat, sheer shimmer and high shimmer shades. The palette includes four new and five exclusive eye shadows that will illuminate and define. This palette is the definite standout in the collection, by far.




Shades in the palette: Nude Beach Metallic Eye Shadow, Nude Mist Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow, Naked Eye Shadow, Nude Glow Metallic Eye Shadow, Mica Wash Shimmer Eye Shadow, Nude Spice Metallic Eye Shadow, Espresso Eye Shadow.

This palette is perfect in every way. Espresso eye shadow is what I turn to most often when lining my eyes, so I am thrilled that this must-have from Bobbi contains this favorite shade.

I hope this is at the Nordstrom counter already. It is said not to launch in stores until September, but it is available online right now, for $50.



MAC Cosmetics Shines with NEW Overrich Pigments for Fall.

If only I had a better hand at applying pigments, I would be wearing these beautiful fall colors everyday. MAC's newest pigment collection called Overrich contains the perfect shades for not just Fall, though they are spot on for the season, but for anytime of year.


In case you did not know, MAC's Pigment is a loose powder made of highly pigmented color. It sticks to the skin unlike any other loose powder making application easy (for most - not me!). Pigment can be applied anywhere, most often for eyes, lips, cheeks.

Overrich eight new shades, all in rich-metal hues. They are simply gorgeous. And I swear I am going to get to the huge MAC Pro store when I am in New York next week for Fashion Week to get a lesson on the best way to apply. I know I can do this. I am always in awe of the creations I see others doing with pigment and not only do I need to learn, I really want to. Anyway, here are the shades an descriptions of the colors in this new one.

Blonde's Gold - light tan with gold and white pearl
Heritage Rouge - deep burgundy with red and brown pearl
Copperbeam - rusted brown with red pearl
Vintage Gold - tarnished green with gold pearl
Antique Green - turquoise green with green pearl
Museum Bronze - rich taupe with gold pearl
Mega-Rich - frosty burnt orange with gold pearl
Mauvement - cool taupe with gold pearl

Are you a MAC pigment user? If you are, any application tips would be greatly appreciated.

Dior Dandy Fall Collection.

Is it okay to want an entire collection? I am talking every last piece. Every single one. There is not one piece in the Dior Fall Collection, Dandy, that I can go without.

Dandy is more than a look; it's a state of mind, inspired by the chic, independent spirit of the 1930s. Unexpectedly glamorous in contrasts of rich feminine plums, berries and the 'masculine' chic of warm, deep beige shades.

The collection rundown:

Diorskin Shimmer Star in Copper Diamond  - A magical shimmering pressed powder.

Impression Cuir Leather Couture For The Eyes - A trio of the most beautiful chocolate brown shades.

2-Color Eyeshadow in Silver Look - These are contrasting for the ultimate Fall eye look.

Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow - Iridescent Leather 539  - The colors are gorgeous in shimmery taupes and golds.

Crayon Eyeliner in Iridescent Khaki  - To compliment any of the eye palettes to line and define to the max.

Rouge Dior Replenishing Lipcolor 
- Beautiful with full coverage, gorgeous color and long-lasting shine.

Crème de Gloss - To use on top of the lipstick or used on it's own for a beautiful high-shine soft wash of color.

Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect - Dior's cult fave in a new revamped formula for beautiful multi-reflective pigments.
