MAC Nail Laquer In Play Day...

Image
  So I found my summer nail color! MAC Play Day nail lacquer is simply gorgeous! This peachy orange color looks great on all skin tones and is defiantly eye catching. MAC nail lacquers are high gloss formulas, so a top coat is not needed and provide no-streak/no-chip finish. They also contain conditioners and UV protection! Talk about hi-tech lacquer. This color is currently limited edition so it will only be around for a year, so if you love it as much as I do buy 2 bottles (I bought 3 lol :) ) __________________________________________________________________

Sephora Moonshadow Baked Palette...

Image
On a recent trip to my local Sephora I was introduced to their Moonshadow Baked Palette. These palettes come in two color themes: In The Nude and In The Dark. Both palettes come with 10 baked eye shadows that can be used wet or dry. I love these shadows and believe Sephora did a great job with them and the price point of $28 is well worth it. These shadows are highly pigmented, have minimal fall out, and both palettes come in great color selections for both natural and dramatic makeup looks. This palette is a great alternative to those who don't want to pay $50 dollars for Urban Decays Naked Palette . Give these shadows a try and let us know what your think! __________________________________________________________________

  With the holidays a few weeks away why not jazz up your nails with some funky nail designs. Spice up the traditional french manicure with some color, or try a half moon french manicure by using your tip color near your cuticle, or have some real fun and try different designs with some gold tape! All you need is some inspiration and an open mind! The above designs are totally customizable, so give them a try with your own colors.  __________________________________________________________

We Heart Illamasqua!!...

Image
A while back I remember coming across an image of a woman with her face beat (translation: makeup was flawless) In this image the artist used what appeared to be a skin tone shimmer eye shadow, the shadow looked phenomenal. The shadow was ORB by ILLAMASQUA, a London based company that till recently only had international shipping on their website but did not stores overseas. While on vacation in New York I went to sephora and was delighted to see Illamasqua's products in the stores window display. I grabbed their loose pigment in Orb and am happy to report it looked exactly on my skin tone (which was much different then the woman's in the image) as it did in the image I saw. This These cosmetics are great, they come in tons of wonderful colors, highly pigmented and come in sizable containers; a little definitely does go a long way. Unfortunately for Canadian residence(like myself) Illamasqua is not available in Canada, but you can definitely order products on their website www...
