~Mica Bella Mineral Pigments~

My darling husband was sweet enough to surprise me with the following mineral pigments. The colors are so pigmented with a touch of sheen that makes it so vibrant and lustrous. I haven't had a chance to play with these yet but I'm sure that's not a problem at all for me. Soon enough! :) I will most definitely most the pics of the colors once I get the chance to. I'm not a big fan of mineral eye shadows but some brands that carries pigments are not bad. I need to research this line further.

~YSL~

I went to check out the new YSL fall makeup collection @ Bergdorf Goodman the other day and I wasn't as thrilled as I thought I would have been about the collection. However, I was excited about this one product that I just had to have. Other than the mini make over by Inca a lovely Russian makeup artist, I also received an awesome gift in a cute box with a nice silver ribbon adding a classic touch. A trail size foundation, eye cream and facial moisturizer. What I truly loved about this experience was Inca didn't promote the products like most sales clerks do but she used various products from the makeup line that suited my needs. I absolutely fell in love with the TOUCHE ECLAT radiant touch conceal or. This acts as a highlighter that adds light to dark areas such as under the eyes, around the nose and the chin area. It goes on velvety smooth and it looks and feels amazing. It doesn't cake as most foundation concealers tend to that I've noticed and this is why I love this product. I also snagged a great voluminous mascara in burgundy. Its definitely a bit pricey but use it sparingly and a little sure goes a long way. Check it out!

FAB Lashes

So today I received my box of lashes and I am so EXCITED!!! I bought in bulk because lashes go really fast. My favorites are the Ardell Accents # 305 in black also aka the half doll lashes. I find that they look more natural and it enhances your eyes along the outer edge of your lashline. I will definately post the before and after pics soon.Promise!

Holy Blender

At first I was skeptical about the beauty blender. After reading all the reviews I wanted to see what all the hype was about. So I went to one of my favorite beauty stores in NY called Alcone where beauty professionals and regular people like myself snag their beauty needs. I absolutely LOVE this sponge. The pointed tip gets right to the places I need it such as the corner of my nose, under the eyes and right above my hair line. Its easy to control, great blending tool and most importantly its reuse able. Definately a plus!

Weekly Exfoliation

Tired of dishing out lots of money for a facial? Well you might not have to anymore. I was skeptical at first to make the Neutrogena microdermasion investment but I am so glad I did. This system is absolutely fabulous. After one use of this system my face felt incredibly smooth and soft. The recommended usage is 3 times a week for best results but if you have dry sensitive skin once a week is more than sufficient enough. This is a great way to exfoliate.

All about Fuchsia

It seems that everywhere you look the blue eyeliner, fuchsia lips, orgasmic cheeks and dramatic eye falsies are dominating the beauty world today. My current makeup look is all about “fuchsia”. Most women are afraid of bright colors. One look at that bright fuchsia lipstick would have probably sent you running for the hills. But what most women don’t realize is that there is a shade of fuchsia lipstick/gloss for everyone out there. It’s just a matter of finding it. Fuchsia looks GREAT on all skin tones. You can use it straight from the tube or you can downplay it by adding a light shade on top to neutralize. So hit your nearest beauty store or beauty counter and find your perfect shade.
