Caviar Dreams: MAC Cham Pale

caviar dreams, mac cham pale, eye shadow x4 Generally speaking, I blog about favorite items within entire collections of limited-edition cosmetics. In the case of MAC Cham Pale, I simply love everything.

The MAC Cham Pale collection is filled with bubbly, sandy shades… so you would probably expect the one and only eye shadow x4 in the collection to be filled with only shimmery champagne shades. Not so! The Caviar Dreams eye shadow quad adds sizzle with a youthful frosty pink and smoky metallic pewter that are totally rockin’.

Retail price is $36.

MAC Kissable Lipcolour Reviews

mac kissable lipcolour reviews

MAC Kissable Lipcolour swatches above: Lovepeck, Scan Delicious, Vanity Fair, Woo Me.

MAC Kissable Lipcolour is a brand-spankin-new MAC product that was launched with the MAC Peacocky collection. Kissable Lipcolour is a highly opaque gloss with a whipped-cream consistency, and tremendous color payoff. The name “kissable” might be misleading. I assure you this product will kiss off (my little boy had a bright lip-print on his forehead when I kissed him while wearing Scan Delicious). Interestingly, it seems to be a gloss/stain hybrid, and leaves color behind even when the glossy finish wears away.

Kissable Lipcolour claims to fame: rich, saturated color and a rainbow of hue choices (yes–there is even a blue shade among them for the brave few).

Retail price is $18 per gloss.

New Hue Swatch: MAC Zoom Lash Goes Plum

new hue swatch About two years ago–long before the general population was wearing anything but black–I blogged about some of my favorite colored mascaras. Blue, purple or bronze: the similarity between all of the shades I mentioned in that post was that they were each almost-black, with only very subtle color.

“No fun!” screams MAC, and in the MAC Stylishly Yours collection MAC launched a new shade of Zoom Lash named “New Hue”, described as a blackened burgundy. To this beauty-bloggers eyes, New Hue is really a super-bright plum shade. It’s a great way to inject a little color into your makeup look, while making lashes look more voluminous.

Wouldn’t you just love to see a huge lineup of vibrant color-rich mascara shades from MAC?

Retail price is $14.

HaiR-esolutions!

Time to actually get to work on implementing those New Year’s resolutions, readers! If you’re resolved to take better care of your tresses, here are some tips from Amanda Jenkins, Master Stylist at ARROJO NYC:

· When it comes to hair color application, don’t cut corners. When in doubt, leave it to a professional.

· Don’t pick at split ends. Instead, get regular trims every 6 to 8 weeks.

· Don’t take your stress out on your hair. Tightly twisting it causes breakage.

· Deep condition once a week (bi-weekly if your hair is dry or curly, which makes it prone to dryness)

· Try to only use hot tools for a maximum of three times a week. Remember to give your hair a break and let it air dry when you can.

· Don’t shampoo everyday when you shower. Instead, just wet hair and condition or use a shower cap and apply dry shampoo afterwards to absorb odors and oils.
