Benefit’s new spring colors in their Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liners are now out. There are 3 new colors–bunny hop (sterling pink), marry up (brushed copper) and pre nup (rose metal). I have marry up, as the copper color is great for hazel eyes.

Cle de Peau Beaute Eye Color Quad

Cle de Peau Beaute, a part of the Shisiedo family of companies, has a very fresh and innovative Eye Color Quad that is perfect for spring. Fresh, because the pale variations of pink and lavender are gorgeous, light and refreshing when coming out of the long (overdrawn winter). Innovative because this eyeshadow contains Argan Oil […]

Nars Alhambra Eyeshadow Duo

When I was reading about Nars Spring 08 colors on several of my favorite beauty blogs, I really couldn’t wait to get my hands on their Alhambra Eyeshadow Duo. Now that I have it, I’m unsure about what I think about it on me.

The Body Shop Shimmer Smudger

Oops! The Body’s Shop’s Shimmer Smudgers have been sitting in a bin in my office since August! I gave them a test run when I first received them before their launch and then stored them and forgot all about them.

Product Find: Bella Il Fiore Roller Ball Eyeshadow

Easy & simple, that’s how I like things. Oh and don’t forget the “things that can’t make a mess” category. Can I tell you how many of my loose powder eye shadow’s I’ve had become victim to my bathroom floor at the hands of a few little boys that shall remain nameless? So I came […]

I received […]

Review: MAC Cosmetics Royal Assets

When I first mentioned this Holiday Collection from MAC, I just knew I was going to love it. The packaging is so vintage-chic, that I covet it like a prized posession.
Of the Royal Assets eye shadow palettes, 6 Warm Eyes is my favorite and the picture of this palette doesn’t do the colors justice. The […]

MAC Cosmetics Matte2 & Mattene & Plush Lash

I received MAC Cosmetics Matte2, Mattene and Plush Lash a while ago and have been meaning to write a review on it for some time. My reaction to the collections are mixed.
Matte2:
I abolutely love matte eyeshadows and definitely prefer them over anything shimmery. However, I have to say that I really wasn’t impressed by this […]
