MAC Cosmetics Glamour Daze Launch : Because It’s The Holidays!



IMG_2793

This must be MAC Cosmetics’ grandest launch, and when they called in their special guests, everyone said yes in a heartbeat, because for one, MAC Cosmetics is a celebrity favorite, being the best bet in TV/movie makeup, and even moreso, a media favorite with having really interesting collections and collaborations! MAC Cosmetics is such a well-loved makeup brand that it deserved all the limelight it had that night!

I heart my MAC lipsticks ( too many shades to mention. Haha! ), MAC blushes, lipglasses, eyeshadows, and almost everything they have, so I was definitely present that night to support!

Stepping inside the event was like stepping into another world. Girls in retro costumes and makeup – designed by that of the same designer as Lady Gaga’s, they definitely made statements.

Guerlain Fall 2012 Collection

natalia

An exquisitely feminine collection dedicated to the pleasure and sensuality of colours. Like a seductive angel, Natalia sparks the imagination with carnal, reddish accents.

Tawny eyes against a red mouth. A “G” for pure Lust. She gazes upon her reflection and recognizes herself while she invents a n ew identity. Right in front of her beautiful mirror. So, who is the fairest of them all ? This new Fall 2012 collection overflows with colours: reds, of course, but also pinks. A story of many facets of femininity, by Guerlain.

Oh my goodness. What a beautiful collection by Guerlain this Fall 2012! How could they have guessed one of my favorite color combinations – pink and red! I deem it very feminine and very sophisticated at the same time. It’s the color for the ladies. Although I am not crazy about reds, I am getting swoony with this collection! The collection is a fusion of two color universes with orange red, and pink nude tones, which are in essence, very “Guerlain,”. Creative Director Olivier Echaudemaison has this to say about the Fall 2012 collection :

Bobbi Brown Desert Twilight Collection



DESERT_TWILIGHT___MODEL_SHOT

“Sun-swept nudes and pinks evoke a beautiful late summer glow.” – Bobbi Brown

Bobbi’s new Desert Twilight Collection combines soft hues with bright color. Offering a pop of Southwestern inspired turquoise against a backdrop of sun-swept rose, plum and bronze shades; the collection is playful yet wearable.

There’s something about the sun that evokes such an alluring, and sexy vibe into it. It is definitely even more beautiful, with the sun, joining with the gorgeous desert as the background. I’m thinking “earthen glow.” Reminds me of sunkissed beauty. I love such natural, sunkissed, healthy glow! That is probably why Bobbi Brown’s Desert Twilight Collection is poised to be one of the bestselling collections of the year – that I had to fight my way for a reservation for something in this collection! ( and I encourage you to be on the lookout yourself, as my source says they will sell out fast! )

Here are the products included in the Bobbi Brown Desert Twilight Collection :

Bobbi Brown Rose Gold Collection for Spring 2012

bobbibrown3

Ooooh, this is just so me!!!!

Just looking at the model for Bobbi Brown’s Rose Gold Collection gives me so much giddiness as it is totally my idea of a really fresh, day look. The makeup is simple, the shades are very feminine, it’s almost like effortless beauty!

Bobbi Brown’s Rose Gold Collection gives us the message that “Rose gold is instant prettiness.” It works great on all skin tones, and gives that youthful, pinkish ( but not too pale, just the right kind of “pink” ) glow from within. It’s absolutely refreshing, in my opinion.

Two limited edition rose-hued Shimmer Bricks are the essential items in this collection, and I am highly encouraging you to get one of them :

bobbi_brown_rose_gold_5

Bobbi Brown Wild Rose Shimmer Brick is full of pinkish tones that will give your cheeks a pop of color. It can be used as blush ( for the deeper shades ), highlighter ( for the lighter shades ), and eyeshadow ( all the shades, I believe. )

bobbi_brown_rose_gold_4

Bobbi Brown Rose Gold Shimmer Brick is full of rose gold tones, with champagne shades, that will give you a glow from within, and is great for all skintones. This is an eyeshadow ( all shades, ma! ), highlighter, and a really light blush in one compact.

bobbibrown2

Romancing with rose, and feminine shades with Colored Rich Lip Color SPF 12

bobbibrown1

Feminine, fresh colored Rich Color Gloss

I recently had a chance to try the very famous Shimmer Bricks of Bobbi Brown, as I was wondering why alot of girls liked it so much. Bobbi Brown created her Shimmer Bricks to give the face the “lit-from-within glow.” Her product was such a hit that a Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick is shipped every 7.5 minutes.

Well, I’d love to tell you how I fared with her new Shimmer Brick from the Rose Gold Collection, but in advance, I’d like to tell you that it is just so nice on the skin! I got the Rose Gold one, and I suggest you get that before it goes out of stock!

Will be back for my Shimmer Brick review!

MAC Cosmetics Glitter & Ice Collection

GlitterandIce-Beauty-300

Every Holiday season, I find myself always, always anticipating about MAC Cosmetics’ Holiday Collection. I’ve never been more impressed by a brand that takes so much effort, and weaves tales of fantasies that take our mind to exotic holidays – take for example, last year’s a Tartan Tale took us to the beautiful, majestic highlands, and now, we’re being taken to somewhere we’ve never imagined – to snow wonderland, where futuristic soldiers of beauty skate around and fill our Holiday fix.

This year’s Glitter & Ice Collection is just so beautiful that it takes me away to somewhere I can “freeze” time and just feast in fanciful thoughts – beautiful glitter, crystalline ice – oh, I can definitely rest my mind there. Can they take me as the Snow Queen? Haha!

Anyway, here are the products of the Glitter & Ice Collection. I have attended their launch a few days ago, and I shall tell you more about it in one of my next posts!

What’s New : NYX Pump It Lip Plumpers

image006

Before, lip plumpers reminded me of Jessica Simpson.

As of late, they’ve been screaming Megan Fox ( circa Transformers 2 ), as Rosie Huntington-Whitely didn’t seem to need them. Haha!

But really, lip plumpers give me the constant reminder to be kinder to my lips and moisturize them with a little more effort than I usually do, because well-moisturized lips are a pre-requisite for using these babies to achieve a beautiful pout!

Drugstore makeup giant NYX Cosmetics recently launched the Nyx Lip Plumper, promising to transform even the thinnest lips into the fullest, pucker-worthy pout. Oh wow!

Bobbi Brown Pretty Powerful Makeup Tutorial

Remember my Pretty Powerful Entry I’ve written weeks ago ? Well, here’s a sneak peak on what I did to achieve my “>Pretty Powerful look – a tutorial yay! ( I try, I try! haha! )

bobbybrown_pp1

bobbybrown_pp4

bobbybrown_pp2

We’re using the Bobbi Brown Pretty Palette, alongside various Bobbi Brown makeup products. The Bobbi Brown Pretty Palette is a palette that is good for applying eyebrow color, a light eye makeup look ( specifically, pinks ) and a really natural lip color + gloss. I say this would help you achieve a very fresh look. Nothing too bright or flashy, this is for au naturelle lovers out there.

Please use the photo above for reference of the shades included in the palette. This makeup tutorial is sort of a makeup tutorial for Asian eyes- as my eyes are Asian! :)

On to our step by step makeup tutorial!

MAC Viva Glam Lady Gaga 2 Lipstick and Lipglass!

VivaGlam-Beauty-72

No Bad Romance here. If anything this love affair’s going strong than ever. After the Monster Tour Mayhem, Gaga’s back to being our Viva Glam Goddess once again, spreading the good word about the impact of HIV/ AIDS on women, men, and children everywhere. We’re unveilling a hot new shade inspired by the lady and her passions, in both lipstick and lipglass. And by now you ( and the world ) know every cent from the sale of MAC Viva Glam toes towards the MAC Aids fund. The MAC World feels like a permanent part of the Gaga Galaxy, doesn’t it? On the VG displayer as a limited edition for a full 12 months.
