Raging Rouge Beauty Blog: For Makeup Lovers Everywhere!
Metallics are still very on-trend this Fall. Midas himself will eye your lips with jealousy when you wear Benefit Cosmetics 24k Sexy Gold Lip Gloss.
Versatility is the key to this gloss. Worn alone, it creates a gorgeous naked lip with just a touch of gold shimmer. Used over your favorite lipstick, it adds warmth and dimension. Benefit describes this look as "seductive" and I couldn’t agree more!
Benefit Cosmetics 24k Gloss retails for $20 at Benefit Cosmetics.

As a teenager, I owned a salon-style hairdryer. That’s right… the kind you wear like a motorcycle helmet! I kept it in my parents basement, and fired it up as needed to heat my hair while wearing a deep conditioning treatment. I would spend 15-20 minutes, flipping through my beloved Sassy magazines and waiting for my hair to soak in all of that moisturizing goodness.
As the mother of a very busy toddler, I no longer have time for this kind of luxury. Someone should explain this lack of time to my dry, brittle hair– it demands an occasional deep conditioning treatment. When I get an opportunity to deep condition, it needs to be as fast as Paris Hilton on a third date. Alterna’s Ten Hair Masque absorbs deep into the hair shaft in under five minutes, so a minimal time investment left my hair looking shiny and smooth, and feeling soft as silk.
To use, apply Alterna’s Ten Hair Masque to damp hair after shampooing. Use a wide tooth comb to evenly distribute the conditioning treatment, and leave on for 3-5 minutes.

Alterna Ten Hair Masque comes in a 5.1 oz. jar, and retails for $55 at Beauty.com and other fine beauty retailers.
Ladies, ladies, ladies! Mark your calendars now… in mid-October, Lola Cosmetics will release its 2007 holiday collection. These luxe palettes can NOT be missed!
I had the honor of previewing these palettes recently, and I’m still giddy. Lola’s new "Joy" laptop colors are a collection of metallic shadows, a brick red gloss and a clear gloss with a golden shimmer. I applied each shadow in a haphazard manner to test the colors and was floored that despite my imprecision I still looked holiday-party ready. The shadows are extremely high-pigment, and glide smoothly onto the lid. The gloss shade is an excellent compliment to the eye color: a decadent brick red that can also be applied lightly to look more like a stain. Top it off with the golden shimmer gloss for show-stopping New Years Eve lips.
Lola’s holiday season Spellbound Color Clutch contains 18 shades of shadow (you read that right– 18!) conveniently organized into 6 color-coordinated trios to make selecting colors a snap. The shadow colors included range from white to deep gray, some matte and some sparkling. Three nourishing gloss shades (with a hint of mint), two creme blush colors to enhance your cheeks and a generously-sized mirror make this elegant palette all you’ll need for the boardroom or the ballroom.
Lola Cosmetics Laptop in "Joy" will retail for $36. Spellbound Color Clutch will retail for $38. Retailers include Sephora.com, Ulta and other fine beauty stores.
