MAC Love That Look: Strike A Pose And Fashion Groupie

MAC review, Love That Look, Shadow

I've said it before, and I'll say it again… Summer is my favorite season, but the makeup of Fall is tops in this beauty blogger's book! Rich, deep jewel tones like these from MAC's Love That Look collection are a great way to be makeup-ready for Fall! Don't forget a shadow primer! You'll want these beautiful shadow shades to be as vivid as possible…

Pictured above, MAC Starflash Eye Shadow in Strike A Pose (left, a dirty/deep green) and Fashion Groupie (right, a light blue violet). These pigment-rich shadows are intense and luxe! Check out the swatch below, to see what they look like when applied!

Retail price is $17 for Starflash Eye Shadow. Grab them while you can!

Markets And Makeup: Estee Lauder Sensuous Gold

estee lauder review, sensuous gold, fall 2009, color

Something I've never mentioned on Raging Rouge is that I am actually obsessed with more that just makeup. In fact, I am currently way too interested in monitoring this train-wreck of an economy, and the stock market in particular.

Interestingly, knowing a thing or two about the market can actually tip you off on trends in fashion and makeup. I've been watching the price of gold tick higher and ever-higher, and realized that since scarcity=status, Gold is going to be smokin' hot this season.

Personally, trends be damned, I've always preferred gold over platinum. There's something timeless and treasured about the yellow metal, so I was thrilled to see Estee Lauder embrace the trend, with their new color collection for Fall 2009, Sensuous Gold.
