Holiday Makeup Collections

November 25th, 2007

The parties are planned, the dates are marked on your calendar and now it’s time to get your holiday look.

Chanel Holiday CollectionOne of my favorites every year is the Chanel Holiday Collection. This year it includes a limited edition translucent gold loose powder, two shades of festive nail colors, and the always lovely lip and eyeshadow quads. Get the look

Another nice holiday combination is DiorLight by Dior which incorporates soft shimmery golden hues and delicate pearly pastels. However I am not fond of the gimmicky Star Product which is too flashy and really not too practical to wear or stuff in a clutch. See if DiorLight is a Holiday Must Have for you.

Mac’s Finery CollectionSpeaking of glamorous compacts: Mac has a 6 different collections which offer antiqued, vintage looks inspiring old fashioned glamour with a modern edgy appeal. My favorite is the Finery Collection which includes the Ruling Class Lipsticks. I could have stolen them right from Marie Antoniette’s herself.

Revlon Nail Enamel

October 9th, 2006

revlon_nail_polish.jpgRevlon Nail Enamel is a classic line of polish that is readily available, inexpensive and chic. Revlon’s nail polish line includes classic colors such as Revlon Red, Cherries in the Snow, and Strawberry Electric. I love Vixen for a vamp look that works well in fall and winter. I feel so urban punk glam when I am wearing it and typing on my keyboard. Revlon always has a fun selection of colors and is great for chip resistance too.

nailtiques_cuticle_and_hand_conditioner.jpgThis is a lovely moisturizing hand cream that I stash in a bigger purse or leave in the car. It feels a bit greasy when you first put it on, but once it is rubbed in, your hands feel smooth and soft without a trace of greasy feeling.

Nailtiques Cuticle and Hand Conditioner contains Vitamin A, pure aloe and jojaba oil which nourshes rough hands and tough cuticles. Available at most beauty supply stores or at beautyrealm.com, $16 for 4 oz.
