MAC News: Kids Helping Kids Cards

MAC News: Kids Helping Kids Cards Every year, MAC releases the most wonderful collection of greeting cards illustrated by children affected by HIV/AIDS. 100% of the proceeds are donated to pediatric AIDS/HIV organizations. Not 100% of the profits, 100% of the actual retail price!

This year’s collection is vibrantly colored and cheerful. They’ll definitely stand out, because they aren’t the typical “holiday” card!

Six Kids Helping Kids greeting cards retail for $6.50. 12 gift tags retail for $6.50.

MAC News: Baroque Boudoir

MAC News: Baroque Boudoir It's not physically possible for me to covet a holiday collection more than Baroque Boudoir by MAC. The packaging is reminiscent of another era, when the style and quality of your compact was equally important as the product within.

This super-premium limited edition collection is slightly pricier than most MAC products, but will likely sell out fast due to the special stand-out packaging. It's scheduled to hit counters TODAY, so head to your local MAC makeup counter if you want to stake your claim!

The collection contains:

Baroque Boudoir Lipstick $22
Baroque Boudoir Creamy dark plum
Prive Creamy light blue pink
Treasured Creamy warm nude beige

Baroque Boudoir Lipgloss $22
The Lap of Luxury Sheer baby pink with white and pink pearlized pigments
Preciousness Sheer metallic pink with white pearlized pigments
d’Nouveau Sheer dusty rose with light pink pearlized pigments

Baroque Boudoir Compact/Sheer Mystery Powder $60
Light Medium
Medium Plus

Boudoir Clutch $65
Chic black clutch in a brushed crinkled nylon fabric

Urban Decay News: Surreal Skin Mineral Makeup Launches More Dark Shades

Those with dark skin, and those with light skin often have the same obstacles when shopping for foundations and concealers… It can be tricky to find a perfect match. Well this Fall, Urban Decay has added an additional FOUR shades to their Surreal Skin Mineral Makeup line. That brings the collection to a total of 12 different shades from fair to dark!

I've mentioned it in a past post, but really must stress this point: the mess-free application method is quite amazing. Each canister has a twist open/shut top, to ensure you don't lose any precious product in your purse or spray it all over your counter-tops! The built in applicator puff is actually attached to the container, so you'll never have to worry about dropping your loose powder puff into a wet public sink. Uck! Of course, for those of you who hate the attached sponge, it's not an issue. Urban Decay designed it to be removed easily, and used like a traditional sponge!

This talc-free, oil-free formula is also devoid of artificial dyes and fragrance… making it ideal for those prone to breakouts or with sensitive skin. The formula is also lightweight, so it's perfect for people who want to even out their complexion but hate the feeling of liquid foundations.

This product retails for $29.
