Bilbao Satin Lipstick, NARS Spring 2012

While bright shades of makeup are going to be super-popular and talked about this Spring, the unsung heroes of the season will still be neutrals.  It reminds me of the old “The Ant and the Cricket” childhood story.  The neutrals are doing all of the hard work, while the super bright shades simply party on and bask in the glory of the sun.

Gaiety Blush, NARS Spring 2012

The hottest makeup colors for Spring and Summer 2012 will be super-bright. My personal opinion is the trendiest look of all will be the uber-bright, almost-neon lip, but many will be too gun-shy to give that a whirl. Those of us more comfortable with a pop of color on the cheek will choose shades like NARS Gaiety, one of the blushes from the NARS Spring 2012 makeup collection. [Read more...]

NARS Spring 2012

Happy Beauty Blog-o-versary!

FIVE years ago today, I published my very first post on Raging Rouge!  My oldest son was an “only” at the time, and at 18 months old he was sleeping through the night and napping regularly for 3 hours a day.  This Mom was house-bound, but well-rested enough to seek both intellectual stimulation and a way to keep her resume fresh.  Add those desires to a life-long love of writing and bathroom cabinets filled with fun beauty products, and you get the birth of this beauty reviews blog!

Blogging has been an exciting and enriching experience.  Raging Rouge has become a part-time job of sorts (and I am actually writing this post in a notebook while getting a pedi, so it’s a pretty sweet job to have).  It has been my pleasure to “virtually” meet so many like-minded women all over the world.  Perhaps the best perk has been the opportunity to provide information and entertainment to a very saavy and very chic group of makeup shoppers… YOU!
