Spring 2013: MAKE UP FOR EVER Technicolor Palette.

March 11, 2013/

With spring comes brighter, bolder shades of color. I am so ready for it. MAKE UP FOR EVER is taking on this trend in their own way with their latest, the Technicolor Palette.

MUFE creator Dany Sanz looked at the 1930's cinematic transition from black and white to color imagery for this highly pigmented palette. She even used the same technique employed by filmmakers as she over-saturated her shadow colors to make them appear more alive. And they sure do.

The palette contains three, bright statement colors along with five, easy to wear classic shades, making this palette totally wearable. The palette includes Apple Green, Turquoise, Lilac, Black, White, Espresso, Beige and what Dany is calling the spring "it shade", Yellow.

The MAKE UP FOR EVER Technicolor Palette retails for $45 and is available at Sephora.

Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes.

February 07, 2013/

I have gushed about my love for Clinique's Chubby Sticks. Both the original Chubby Stick, the newest Chubby Stick colors and the new Chubby Stick Intense. That's why they certainly caught my attention with this new Chubby Stick launch: Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes. All I have to say is that it is about time!

Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes

These new perfectly portable and convenient creamy shadow sticks deliver a soft wash of sheer, buildable, long-wearing colour that is super easy to apply. Not to worry, you don't have to stay in the lines with these. Play until your heart is content. Every look and color combination is sure to be beautiful.

Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes' silky formula applies evenly across lids in a cream form that stays put and never creases. The lightweight formula glides on effortlessly and smoothly. Simply apply and blend the edges with a shadow brush before the formula dries for the perfect look. You can even just use your fingers if you desire.

There are 12 shades to choose from:

Bountiful Beige
Lot's O'Latte
Fuller Fudge
Ample Amber
Whopping Willow
Mighty Moss
Pink & Plenty
Curvaceous Coal
Lavish Lilac
Big Blues
Portly Plum
Massive Midnight

I bet you can't pick just one.

I haven't been as excited about wearing blues than I have in a long time. I have been using Pink Plenty on my brow bone, Big Blue on my lids with Massive Midnight in the crease. It is fast becoming my favorite icy winter look.
