L’Oreal Bare Naturale Luminous Lengthening Mascara

I’ve been wearing L’Oreal’s Bare Naturale Luminous Mascara a lot lately. Prior to swiping across my lashes, I really didn’t read up on it and automatically thought “Bare Naturale” was more atune to meaning a more natural looking lash. However, a good portion of the mascara is mineral-enriched and made from natural-origin ingredients with a […]

MODE Angel Dust Fall Collection

MODE Cosmetics new fall collection, Angel Dust, has a roller ball applicator for their loose minerals powers that reflect shine with mica.
Their newest color, Galactic (which brings the Beastie Boys Intergalactic Planetary tune to mind) is a brilliant purple. With all of the economic woes we are going through right now, I love the fact […]

Fashion Week Photos

Here are some pictures from my time in NY during Fashion Week:

A fellow beauty blogger, Lianne from TheMakeupGirl, Samara and myself. We were at an Italian restaurant (IL Menestrello) that as Lianne put it, “Was real gangsta!” I had a great time at dinner with these ladies and we certainly laughed a lot.

I was invited […]

YSL GLOSS PUR Black

Love YSL, but I totally cannot get into the dark lip/black lip trend AT ALL. However, for those of you who can, YSL has a very limited edition gloss that is available now called PUR Black. It is an online exclusive that could possibly sell out (since I may be in the minority about hating […]

Spring Makeup Trends 2009 Behnaz Sarafpour

Behnaz Sarafpour was my favorite show to be backstage for, not only because of the wonderful spring-like look to the makeup that is completely wearable off the runway, but because MAC Cosmetics Makeup Artist Charlotte Tilbury (pictured) was lovely and Linea Pro hair stylist, Ashley Javier was hot very nice.
Charlotte’s look for Behnaz’s show was […]

Ellen DeGeneres is the Newest CoverGirl

Now this is something I think is awesome! Ellen DeGeneres has now become the newest face for CoverGirl! Ellen, who although is a celebrity, really represents the “everyday” type of woman out there. Her charm, wit, compassion and drive are representative of women everywhere and someone I know I can relate to…more so than say […]

Spring Makeup Trends 2009: Bobbi Brown at Brian Reyes

Bobbi Brown’s looks on the runway this fashion week seem to follow a similar pattern–a soft smoky eye in Spring-like colors. The only difference among them has really been the skin. She has sometimes opted for dewy or glowing and in the Brian Reyes runway show, she chose matte (my favorite).
I am completely loving the […]

Spring Makeup Trends at Diesel Black Gold

This was my first time backstage at Diesel Black Gold and it was definitely wonderful! I had the opportunity to talk with Val Garland from MAC who was leading the makeup for the show. The look was definitely different, but very atune to what Diesel is about.

The focus for this show was on the brows, […]

Lancome’s Fall Look

Remember how I gushed over Lancome’s Fall collection, especially that awesome compact where the makeup was like a work of art? Well I got to see it in person when I met up with my fave Lancome Makeup Artist, Leandro Bare, Monday afternoon.

Leo was showing me how this collection was the perfect mix between warm […]

Suki has makeup that is entirely cream-based, mineral and with pure pigments. Although I arrived in the city with makeup already […]
