Yay.. Tomorrow is Bonus Time at Macy’s West. Which means.. FREE MAKEUP!!!
I haven’t seen the bonus yet, but they never disappoint. I highly recommend checking out their new Blushwear Cream Stick in Very Blush. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT… it is long lasting and looks so natural. I just take the stick, swivel it up and take my MAC 188 brush run it across the blush cream a few times and apply to my cheeks. It really gives this healthy natural glow.

I personally never went to an actual cosmetology school. I had more hands on experience on the job.  For those of you who are interested in going to school for further development it’s best to always ask questions. Here is a 2 part interview with one of the top teachers at EI in Los Angeles.

GET THE PRO LONG WEAR!!!! OMG.. I still can’t get over how A-mazing they are. I think im “back to macin’” all my stuff for more colors

I can’t stress enough how much I love the new MAC Starflash shadows. If you love neutrals and want something that will NEVER go out of style. I recommend MAC Starflash.

The past few days have been soo great. I can wake up, put my makeup on and blend with such ease that I have to double check to see if it really is blended in the daylight. The shadows are soo soft and creamy -yes it is a powder!!!

So here is my Eye of the Day. Very Office Friendly

Did you pick up any colors?

Amazing Texture Meets Depth of Colour

Introducing Modern Matte. Fall 2008 | CLINIQUE

Launching August 2008

You know the drill. Fall beauty always marks a return to dramatic, statement makeup.  Well, this Fall, matte has made its mark! From runway to red carpet, lush matte lipsticks and eye shadows have been making a sophisticated appearance. Clinique shows you how to maximize your mattes with the introduction of the Modern Matte colour collection, a compilation of beautifully paired NEW Colour Surge Eye Shadow Stay Matte with the luxurious finishes of NEW High Impact Lip Colour SPF 15, NEW Defining Liner for Lips and NEW Blushwear Cream Stick. But, don’t fear; these aren’t the lipsticks, lip liners and eye shadows of years ago.  Clinique’s new formulas provide cutting edge ingredients and gorgeous shades that make a woman feel instantly glamorous and deliver long wear with a smooth, even finish.

Modern Matte. Fall 2008 | CLINIQUE

Mattes Get A Makeover, Eyes Are Happy!

• With this latest edition of Colour Surge Eye Shadow Stay Matte, Clinique now offers a contemporary soft matte finish with intense, buildable, easy to blend colour.  These shadows are perfect for women of all ages. The formula leaves behind a soft, smooth appearance without creasing. The innovative technology, also utilized in the baking industry to produce ultra fine-milled flour, delivers a luxuriously soft powder shadow.

• Expert tip: Application is key with matte eye shadow – try applying colour with short strokes, then blend over lid.

• Clinique High Impact Mascara perfects the look with instant gratification, delivering intense, glamorous, dressed-up lashes in a flash!  Women crave long, thick lashes and that’s exactly what Clinique High Impact Mascara delivers – dramatic volume and length, fast!

Lips Get The Treatment Benefits They Deserve

• Clinique’s new High Impact Lip Colour SPF 15 is an advanced lipstick that delivers beautiful, stay-true colour and moisturization benefits from the moment it’s applied. The multi-tasking formula is long wearing and feather-resistant all while helping to provide protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays.

• New Defining Liner for Lips deepens colour payoff, plus helps lipstick stay on longer.  The convenient design features a wood clenched lip liner pencil with a built-in sharpener.  The precision sharpenable point can deliver a thick or more defined line depending on preferred use for customized application.  Defining Liner for Lips offers a smooth creamy application due to a high level of cushiony feeling oils.  The long-wearing formula (up to 8 hours) pairs perfectly with Clinique’s new High Impact Lip Colour SPF 15.

Cheeks Go Gorgeous And Glowing

We see it on red carpets, the runways and on fashionable females everywhere – gorgeous, glowing cheeks that exude subtle sophistication and warmth.  Clinique Blushwear Cream Stick is the next generation of Blushwear.  Creating a natural, healthy looking flush no longer requires a brisk jog around the block.  Clinique Blushwear Cream Stick is a modern cream-to-powder blush that blends effortlessly into cheeks to provide a natural punch of colour.  This silky, oil-free formula provides buildable coverage that can be applied anytime, anywhere thanks to its sleek, compact design.

Modern Matte. Fall 2008 | CLINIQUE

Launching August 2008

I love Clinique.. actually I am a HUGE Fan.. and ever since I found out about their Moisturizer I don’t think i’ll ever stray from it. This Fall the look is MATTE. So bust out with the MATTES and stop the Shine

I LOVE MAKEUP!!!!
Today was the first time this whole week where I put on actual makeup. I was sporting the sunblock look (the I don’t give a F*&* look :P) all week cause I enjoyed my sleep time.

Today work went on a field trip to the Race Track . NEENER NEENER..

I lost $2.00 on a Bet and I had YUMMY Funnel Cake!!!

So I decided since I had to get up early to play potential catch up at work.. might as well feel cute

This one gets a whole post of its own…

If you don’t have Feline check out MAC’s Kohl Power .. it is one of the best eyeliners for the waterline. So soft and dark.. definately falls in my top three list.

BUY ME!!

These shadows are soft like butter and feel like velvet. I love them all. Like I said before, I totally think the naturals, browns and khaki green colors are my favorite.  If you don’t have a favorite highlighter.. Test out -Grand Entrance- I think it will make blending a snap.  I really like all the colors, the only one I am not gravitating over is Star By Night. It just seems soo dupable. The other colors are definately must haves for a new MAC collector. And if you are a  MAC lover I don’t even have to tell you how great they are

Now available at Maccosmetics.com

I know this isn’t website related, but I was listening to this Obliqsound on my ipod on the plane a few weeks ago and it was really different and exciting. I have The Obliqsound remixes Vol. 2 and it definately something to talk about.

It is an exciting blend of Jazz/Alternative/Electronica . Be their friend on myspace.com to hear so much more!!

Manish Arora for M.A.C releasing on October 9th, 2008
North America: Available at M.A.C Pro NY, M.A.C Pro North Robertson, M.A.C Soho and www.maccosmetics.com

International: Asia Pacific (Travel Retail Select Stores), Austria, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Middleeast, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand.

I am super excited yet torn about this collection. I love the orange bullets and compacts from Neo-Sci Fi, but I can’t help but wonder if these are the same orange pieces but with extra Flare? I am torn about the Eye Palette because I have most of the shadows, but I want it because of the cute cute cute stones and design on the top. Well I guess when it gets closer I can decide. If you don’t have any of these shadows then I recommend picking this up. It will save you A LOT of TIME and MONEY if you purchase the palette instead individually. NYLON is my ultimate highlighter. These will only be available online and selected stores. Sooooo I highly recommend waiting on Oct 8 on maccosmetics.com to see if it goes live sooner. Use that good ole refresh button to your advantage

MAC Starflash shadows are AMAZING!! It’s soo darn soft and smooth I wanted to buy them all on the spot. I had to hold back because I wanted to back 2 mac for new shadows. Nordstroms only gives Lipsticks so I have to wait till next week or so to get the new Starflash. Right now I want them all because of how they feel. On my FOR SURE List are:

I love the Autumn fall colors… The texture reminds me of “Phloof” one of my all time FAVES!!!!!!

I don’t really want to hype it up or talk about it too much cause I only tested it on my hand. But I will definately try it tomorrow.

MAC Cosmetics has Launched Lustre Twins at Nordstroms and MAC Pro. Also, if you are crafty you will see the new shadows on Bloomingdales website. I am not sure if it is ready for purchase though.

One of their nail laquers is a re-promote and I highly recommend that you check out.
I meticulously painted my nails and then I forgot they were wet and I proceeded to eat ice cream.. OMG SMUSHED nails.. lol oh well! But at least I had some Cookie Dough Ice Cream

I just wanted to present to you all my nails with $$$$$ Yes (Silver Foil)
I like it cause it’s just like aluminum foil. It doesn’t have that typical shimmer like other silvers. I painted three coats cause its a newer bottle of polish. This stuff dries very fast, but the time I am done with all 10 fingers I am ready to add the next layer of polish.
