Jouer Hydrating Lipstick in Dusty

Jouer Cosmetics, Dusty Lipstick Swatch

Jouer Cosmetics, Dusty Lipstick Swatch

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...]

Pacifica Island Vanilla

When the holiday lights come down in the new year, suddenly the realities of Winter set in.  Here in Seattle, January means wet, bleak, cold and gray.  One way of dealing with Winter doldrums is to plan escapes to sunny and warm places, but let’s face it… we all really need a daily escape from the harshness of the Winter months even if only for a minute.

MAC Hello Kitty Lipglass “Fast Friends”

MAC, Hello Kitty, Limited Edition, Makeup Collection, product reviewYou'll probably find this surprising, but this vibrant purple lipglass named "Fast Friends" is actually very sheer and understated!

Part of MAC's recently launched (and wildly popular) Hello Kitty collection, this Lipglass is adorned with an adorably retro-styled Hello Kitty cap.

Other shades available include:  Nice Kitty (sheer neon pink with blue pearl), She Loves Candy (pale blue pink with gold pearl), Sweet Strawberry (sheer berry with blue pearl), Mimmy (light creamy pink with pink and gold pearl) and Nice to be Nice (sheer bright intense orange with pearl). 

Retail price for MAC Hello Kitty Lipglass is $14 USD, $16.50 CDN.

MAC Hello Kitty launched on February 12th, and will be available for a limited time.  Quite a commotion is being made about these products, so I expect they'll sell out quickly!
