OMG

MAC Dazzleglass Permanent Collection Coming Soon!


Wednesday, I was in heaven. And no, I’m not using the word heaven metaphorically. I was really in heaven. The real deal…because I can’t imagine the afterlife being much better than the Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) Beauty Awards Product Demonstration. Nearly 600 new products from more than 280 brands were on display at the Metropolitan Pavilion and Altman Building in NYC - for attendees to touch, test, and take home.

I was having such a fabulous time that I was tempted to blow off my 8pm train back to Philly. Seriously, it was better than my fantasy of being "accidentally" locked in a Sephora overnight. And you should see the gift bag that they gave out at the end. It’s unbelievable (and it weighed, like, 20 pounds). Don’t hate. Appreciate.

The best part of CEW was learning about - and testing - products that haven’t been released yet, such as MAC’s upcoming Dazzleglass Collection.

By popular demand, MAC is creating a permanent collection of these brilliant glosses - to be released next month. I am particularly enamored with three nude/caramel-y shades that are so succulent, I need them in my life right now. Yesterday even. Here’s hoping this collection has an early March launch date, because I am in dire need of some Dazzleglass. Mama needs her MAC medicine, okaaaay?

Review - Kevyn Aucion Cyber Lip in Tenda


Create lips that wow with Liquid Cyber Lip. Shimmer particles make lips look plumper $27.00 @ Kevyn Aucoin

This may be the best $27.00 I have shelled out. I have been wearing this for a long time.. Beware there are many pros but a few cons in wearing this. If you are a lover of the soft shimmery nude lips then you will love this, there are many teeny tiny mica particles that reflect in the light and really give a special shimmer to the lippies. I wear alone, with liner, over lippies and with other glosses. The color is a color I have dreamed about and to finally see it come to fruition is amazing. I can't get eough of this stuff. I usually pick it up at CO Bigelow and use my monthly $10 off $30 that is at the bottom of a prior receipt. The downfalls - the brush is like a paintbrush so when you constantly use, you find that the brush fans out and looks like a hot mess. I do experience some drying of the lips, no terribly but when using I do load up on my Molten Brown wonder lips to get the boost of moisture I have depleted.. Kevyn is dearly missed!

NRF77 says...I am not a pro when it comes to applying eyeliner and it usually takes both hands and a couple attempts. Noir makes an eyeliner that is effortless. It goes on so easy and close to your lashes. It looks great. This particular product has small flecks of silver in it and a beautiful shimmer. It is very chic and is perfect for a night out. It really brightened up my eyes and made my green eyes pop! You will love this liner. I cannot say enough great things about this product.

SportySnowflake says...Every girl needs her trusty black eyeliner and I may have just found my new favorite! Extremely easy to apply and the brush is very fine so perfect for just a thin line for the office or a quiet night out. But the shimmer really adds the finishing touch and takes it a step further from the norm of black liners. The glimmer is subtle and very classy. I'm always a little hesitant about too much shimmer, but this liner made my blue eyes really pop. I wore it out on a rainy day and got numerous compliments on how energetic I looked! Yep, definitely a keeper!
