What's Buzzin' in the blogosphere!

Hi Angels,

I just wanted to let you know about some of the news items causing a buzz in the blogosphere.  

Anastasia has teamed up with Makeup artist Amrezy to bring you an eyeshadow palette.  It contains neutrals and vibrant pops of color. The buzz has been positive.  This palette comes with a brush and is available for $29 at AnastasiaBeverlyHills.com and exclusively at Ulta stores.  Here it is pictured below courtesy of Ulta.

The next items are from Stila Cosmetics. The first one is their new mascara.  It is called Mile High Lashes.  The brand says that the sky is the limit for length, lift and volume. It is pictured below.(courtesy of stilacosmetics.com)

Their other release is in the lip region.  Stila has released what they believe is a new generation in metal makeup.  These beauties pictured below are called the magnificent metals lip glosses. They are lip lacquers with a cutting ede multi-dimensional finish. They are available wherever Stila is sold for $23.00.

The last product is from the geniuses at Lancome.  The leaders in mascara have done it again.  All other brands have been put on notice. LOL.  Grandiose mascara was released last week by the brand powerhouse.  Everything from the ad, the packaging and the mascara itself is innovative. Have a look at these pics courtesy of Lancome.

Here is a close up of the mascara: this is actually the shadow of the package.

Lastly we have a close up of the mascara and wand.

The patented swan neck wand allows for application in many different directions with the greatest of ease. This beauty is sold for $32.00 wherever Lancome is sold.

 

So what do we think Angels?  Are any of these worth a look?  Have you purchased any of these items?  Let us know what you think?  

Until next time Angels,

Pantone at Home

Hello Angels,

So not to long ago we finally received the big announcement.  The Pantone color for 2014 is Radiant Orchid.  Pantone calls the hue a harmony of fuchsia, pink and purple undertones.  So what does thT mean for us ladies?

Are you going to go out and purchase a whole bunch of orchid makeup?  The answer is nope.  Because the truth is Angels you might already have everything you need.  I do.  If you have two or more of these items, I think you can hold off making any big purchases.  Take a look at what you have at home (Especially during this weather In the Northeast).I did and look at what I found.

Jennifer Hudson's American Music Awards makeup

Hi Angels,

In an effort to keep current with makeup trends you have to keep up with the stars.  One of the stars I like to watch is Jennifer Hudson.  Jennifer's skin is flawless and is always complimented by gorgeous makeup.  This has not changed despite weight loss and different hair styles.

By the way I love the cut girlfriend.  WERK!

Now back to the makeup.  Jennifer's makeup compliments the dress without overpowering it.  The face focuses on the eye with a pop of color.  

Here's the products I would use to duplicate the look

Face: MUFE HD 175 

MUFE #4 highlight and contour kit.

MAC:Hidden Treasure limited edition( reviewed on this blog) a pinky orange blush

Lashes: Ardel wispies 

Eyes:MAC Magnetic Attraction Eyeshadow or Stila Countless Color Pigments in finale. (Both reviewed by us)

Topped off by Stila waterproof liquid eyeliner in cobalt. (This too!)

Finish the eye with the very black MAC eyeliner in feline 

Lips: MAC Just wonderful pencil with MAC Angel lipstick and lipglass

I love the look.  Her face is always well done and never complicated.  Let us know if you want to see the look on or even a tutorial.  Send us a pic if you created the look for yourself.

Until next time Angels
