Teal Eyes, Iris Apfel for MAC

This recent photo of Iris Apfel for the Iris Apfel for MAC collection has me mesmerized. 

I can hope that I will age as gracefully and glamourously as Iris, but chances are slim that I’ll be puttering around draped in fur and baubles.  I’ll admit that I’m more of a jeans and t-shirt kind of a gal!  While Iris is a style queen, what has me truly hypnotized is her EYES.  In the MAC photo of Iris, they look positively teal.  [Read more...]

Hyperion Nail Lacquer, Daphne Guinness for MAC collection

When I first glanced at an image of the entire Daphne Guinness for MAC collection, I was immediately captivated by Hyperion. The shade is described by MAC as a light grey blue green–hello multi-hued!

I wrote about the Jouer Mad About Fall collection quite some time ago.  Just wanted to circle back with this image of Jouer’s Dusty lipstick. Isn’t it a beauty?  I’m a big fan of the trend for nude lip shades to be a bit darker, and Dusty is a new favorite among those nutmeg-y neutrals.

The shade is still available online, so do check it out.

Retail price is $22.

Shop at JouerCosmetics.com.

MAC Pro Longwear Lip Pencil Swatches

I’ve mentioned my obsession with lip pencils back in the 90s.  My double-ended chunky lip pencil was all I needed on my travels.  The finish was matte, and the formula long-lasting.  It was perfect for my on-the-go lifestyle, since I never knew when I would get to reapply. [Read more...]
