Estee Lauder has recently introduced the NEW Pure Color EyeShadow! The collection contains an incredible 48 shades in 4 different finishes (matte, satin, luminous and metallic)! I’ve been playing with the latest and greatest formula, and am extremely impressed. The color is so intense, and so rich, and so… well, it’s just perfect!
I recently had the opportunity to sample Estee Lauder’s Pure Color EyeShadow in Sepia Sand (satin finish). This medium putty-shade is a must have for women who love to keep it simple. Sepia Sand is a one stop shop! It’s such a beautiful, neutral shade, it can be applied to the lids and/or crease, blended upward and worn stand-alone.
Retail price is $20 per shadow.

I literally almost had a stroke!
I don’t have much time for retail therapy, but one of my favorite haunts in the greater Seattle area was Creighton Edward. Housed in a little red barn, Creighton Edward was the jewel of Gilman Village… packed with luxe home furnishings and divine bath & body products.
When I dropped by after an abnormally long absence, Creighton Edward was no more!
There is a silver lining to this story, however. Creighton Edward will still exist. The gorgeous little boutique has simply moved across the country to Madison, NJ. The grand re-opening is planned for August 14th. As a native of northern New Jersey, it warms my heart that I will still get to visit my favorite little shop… even if it’s not quite as often. My son will surely insist that I re-stock the yummy candy-scented counter cleanser that Creighton sweetly gave him as a gift!
Click HERE to check out the Creighton Edward homepage. Trust me, you’re going to want to stop by if you’re in Madison!

‘Tis the season for the beach read! Just in time to entertain sun-bathers everywhere, Brenda Novak’s latest: White Heat, will be launching today! Personally, I’m really hoping to have the opportunity to curl up with this romantic suspense novel. This book is the first of a three-part book series: White Heat, Body Heat and Killer Heat. Interesting fact: Brenda’s career was launched when she discovered her daycare provider was drugging her children to induce sleep. Horrific! Since ditching the drug-pushing nanny and staying home, Brenda has written about FORTY novels. She’s my idol!
So why is a beauty blogger writing about a novel? It just so happens that Three Custom Color Specialists will be launching a gloss in honor of White Heat today!
This sizzling pink shade will retail for $21.50, and will be available for purchase on ThreeCustom.com starting TODAY to coincide with the release of Brenda Novak’s new novel. As a special gift with purchase, the first 50 online customers to purchase the gloss will receive a free autographed copy of “White Heat.”

Among the many Fall 2010 makeup collections I am dying to get my mitts on is the latest from Smashbox! Allow me to introduce the Masquerade collection! Masquerade launches in August of 2010, and can be purchased at Sephora.com
, Smashbox.com or Nordstrom.com
. I’m dying over the bold shades in the eye shadow palette, punctuated by pale shades of ivory, pink and white. Based on my positive experience with Fusion Soft Lights, I’m guessing the Baked Fusion Soft Lights Palette in Illusion will be a winner, as well. What’s on your list?
EYE SHADOW PALETTE in MASQUERADE ($35)
(matte soft peach, shimmering black plum, matte taupe, metallic khaki, shimmering gold, bronze, metallic cabernet, shimmering navy, matte bone)
From subtle to ultra dramatic, the shades in this enticing palette disguise your eyes with a veil of magnetic color. Organized in complementary trios, the shades create coordinated looks for maximum intrigue.
BAKED FUSION SOFT LIGHTS PALETTE in ILLUSION ($32)
(champagne, soft gold, rosegold)
Create the illusion of a lit-from-within glow with this palette of shimmering shades, designed to illuminate cheeks, nose, forehead and décolleté. For the perfect cheek, pair with CREAMY CHEEK COLOR & BRUSH.
CREAMY CHEEK COLOR & BRUSH in INTRIGUE ($29)
(warm pink)
Formulated with antioxidant Vitamin E, this luxurious creamy cheek color will give cheeks a “just blushed” look—the perfect innocent disguise. Glide the creamy formula over the apples of cheeks, then blend with the brush for a flawless pop of color.
LIQUID LINER & LASH OVERLAY in TEAL & BRONZE ($19)
Cloak eyes in an air of mystery with this innovative two-in-one formula for lash line and lashes. Just line the eyes and then sweep the specially designed rod over a coat of mascara to “tip” the ends of lashes for a subtle yet intriguing look.
LIP ENHANCING GLOSS in REVEAL and DISGUISE ($19)
(golden nude, golden pink)
What’s behind that provocative pout? This ultra-moisturizing formula saturates lips with alluring color and shine. Vitamin E provides antioxidant protection and moisturization, while Sunflower seed oil nourishes lips.
O-GLOSS NOIR ($22) EXCLUSIVE TO SEPHORA
This disguise transforms before your very eyes—the sultry lip formula glides on black, then evolves into a custom bold berry hue tailored to your specific skin tone. Formulated with Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract and Goji Berry Extract to boost microcirculation as well as moisturizing Avocado Oil antioxidant Vitamin C and Pomegranate Seed Oil, O-Gloss Noir interacts with your personal skin chemistry to create a shade that’s unique to you.
