I'm a former frequent traveler, and always hated whittling down my makeup collection to carry-on size. Luckily, today's business woman on the go needs no such sacrifice. These adorable shadow duos by MAC in the Suite Array collection are roughly the size of a matchbook, and are available in 8 different color combos.
I'm loving the shimmering Sweet Liaison (a pale yellow gold and dark metallic brown) and the sultry Smoke & Ash (perfect to create the smokey eye). The surprise was how much I liked the Rose Suites shades (top image). The pale pink/deep pink combo wasn't overkill at all. The combination was eye-opening!
The best part? These adorable sliding compacts are also economical. Retail price is $16 for each compact!

In the quest to find a perfect gift for women, the hunt invariably turns to brushes. Brushes are–really–the most important part of our makeup regimen. Why? Without a good brush, even the highest quality makeup can look amateurish. Yet so many women refuse to splurge on a decent set of brushes for themselves, so they make an excellent holiday gift.
Just in time for some early holiday shopping, Hourglass is running a friends and family discount of 25% off of all purchases made on their website!
This holiday season, Estee Lauder has introduced Vintage Jewels, their new collection comprised of deep, elegant jewel tones and rich black shades. The colors are stunning, but my favorite part about this collection is that the cosmetics are cut to actually look like jewels! Check out the facets on that lipstick! Just gorgeous!
