Spotted: New York Fashion Week Spring 2010

By on January 13, 2010 in Archive

Fashion Week is one of my favorite holiday seasons!  Models roaming the streets, backstage chaos, intoxicating fashion.  Mmm, I smell it already!  Now that Spring is only a few short months away, the new beauty trends are about to take effect.  Many of these things are products that have been around for years, but used for new look concepts.  Since I’m officially beauty, here’s what (and who) I captured in the tents.


Above Lipmix in orange, crimson and white are shown.  These dense creams make the perfect base for any great lip.  Artists used a dab of lipmix and custom blended with lipsticks and glosses. One of my favorite lip looks (inspired by Twinkle) uses MAC Orange Lipmix and Utterly Posh Dazzleglass.   Another  classic hit that popped up all over backstage are Face & Body Foundations.  These water based foundations are sheer and creamy, and work well mixed with other foundations.  They give little coverage, so they are perfect for evening out your skin or creating the illusion of perfect body. Also notice that there are a mix of brushes on the table, some MAC, but others are paint brushes that can be found at your local art store.

Backstage at Erin Fetherson, models wore soft smokey eyes using browns and taupes. Models wore Brun and Cork eye shadows, along with Teddy and Coffee eye pencils. Cheeks were glazed with Optimistic Orange Blush Cream, which debuted just last week with the MAC in Lillyland collection. It’s true, backstage is the testing ground for future collections!

MAC Limited Edition Must Haves

By on July 27, 2009 in Archive


Over the past few weeks, MAC has Colour Craft, Baby Bloom, Euristocrats, and Love That Look on counter. That’s over 50 new products for us to flip out over. I swatched and compared almost all of the products. If you don’t want to break the bank, here are the top 5 products that you should definitely have!

1. Warm Blend Mineralize Skin Finish-I’ve been fussing and freaking out because there hasn’t been a product close to Metal Rock MSF since it’s launch some years ago. Well, well! MAC shocked the crap out of me with this one! Warm Blend is almost a dead ringer for Metal Rock, without all of the glitter. Even better! I’ll be dedicating a post to this compact of love, clearly. Until then, go get 3 of these. NOW.
2. Starflash Eye Shadows- Even though half of the colors look no different than shades already on counter, these shadows are so silky smooth, you want them for no reason.

I showed three of these colors last week via live chat (just one of the reasons why you should hang out with me on Blogtv, you get sneak peeks and GREAT talk!) I can’t lie, I want them all. 3 down, 9 to go. One Off looks a little too close to Humid for my comfort, Smoke and Diamonds is almost interchangeable with Satin Taupe. Rated R is a brighter, silkier version of Bitter. I’ve got 3, don’t need 2, so 7 are in my online shopping cart!
3. Rave Pearlglide Eye Pencil-This could be the hottest shade of purple that I’ve ever seen. It’s pigmented beyond belief and it’s almost an electric purple color.
4. Studio Moisture Tint foundations- Customers have been asking for tinted moisturizers for years, and MAC has finally answered. They are available in 5 shades and are permanent to the brand, so you can wear them at all times. If you are looking for a sheer foundation, especially if you have dry skin, this one’s for you!
5. MAC 226 brush- This is a mix of the 224 blending brush and the 219 pencil brush. I’ve got one, and I’m going to need another. It fits perfectly into any crease for precise definition.
So, this is just the wrap up of items as of now. But let me tell you, within the coming months, MAC is going to knock your socks of with the new collections. While you’re scouring the net today, I hope you take the time to check out my guest post on The Fashion Bomb!!! It’s all about transitioning from relaxed to natural hair, inspired by Ms. Solange. She looks so great with her chop! Glad she did it (again)!!

Duplicate The Scandal: Dries Van Noten

By on February 2, 2009 in Archive, Fashion, Style

Style.com is my one stop source for all things Fashion Week. One of the looks that really caught my eye was Dries Van Noten Spring/Summer 2009. The look calls for a glossy black eye as the focal point, with subtle skin. Brows are understated, so they are not filled in.

Here is my rendition of the look!




Keep in mind, it is not easy to wear a glossy eye on the lid for long periods of time. It creases and moves so quickly, it’s insane. I reapplied and blended and reapplied and wiped away SO many times.

Stay tuned, I’ve got SO many more looks for you…
