MAC Dare to Wear with Lady Gaga.

Much like the M·A·C collaboration C Shock with Eve three years ago, they have created a bold, bright and surprisingly pop beautiful collection with their very own Viva Glam spokesperson Lady Gaga. Just as Lady Gaga inspires and shocks, so do these shades of lipglass and eye shadows. This is Dare to Wear.

M·A·C says:

"Our own Lady Gaga mobilized legions of you to DARE TO WEAR…and it’s created a wave of energy, excitement and outrageousness all around the world! Join the brigade of loud-and-proud who daily dare to declare their own individuality. High-powered pigment and holographic pearl create a crazy-intense, shine-saturated gloss, combined with Pop Eye Shadow shades, as over-the-top as Lady G Live! Inter-dimensional one-coat colour on the first stroke means there’s always an encore! Creamy soft application grabs and sculpts, gel structure molds and has a bouncy feel – pure exhilaration, it’s a personal high! More and more of you, every minute, every hour, every day, not afraid to DARE TO WEAR. Bravo!"

Feast your eyes on the beauty.

I am quite smitten with a few of the eye shadow shades and all of the lipglasses. While they are all highly pigmented, they are perfect when applied with a soft hand, unless you dare to go bold. You would be surprised at how beautiful a soft line with one of these bold shadows looks over a dark eyeliner. Look to Crazy Cool and Shock-a-holic for the perfect purple smokey eye, which is so on trend for the fall.

Beauty Icon Stacey Schieffelin to Debut New Line on Sunday.

Turn your TV's to HSN this Sunday, as beauty expert (and former Ford model) Stacey Schieffelin will be debuting a new line up of products in her ybf Beauty collection.

If you did not know, Stacey created ybf Beauty - Your Best Friend, exclusively with the Home Shopping Network. For a very long time, Stacey had a line of products called Models Prefer that I really liked. I am not sure what happened to that line with QVC, I am sure it was just a business deal, because the products were very popular. As I trusted Stacey and her products before, I cannot wait to try out some of these new beauties.

The new ybf Beauty products are going to grow up a bit this time, as Stacey takes her soft PINK into a new shade of beauty that can be worn on EVERY woman. This is going to be called Unstoppable Red. I guess it is time to go from demure to dazzling with this new fabulous red collection, and now is the perfect time as the seasons soon change. The new collection will kick off with a Red Carpet Today’s Special on Sunday, which includes many of ybf’s core products like fan favorite Neutralizing Yellow Powder and Stacey’s famous Universal Taupe Eyebrow Pencil (which was a staple in my makeup bag from Models Prefer!).

I'll be watching to see what the Today's Special is and cannot wait to meet the new products. Again, ybf Beauty will have the Today's Special this Sunday, August 15, 2010 only on Home Shopping Network and HSN.com.

Shiseido Fall Collection 2010.

If you are looking for something different and new this upcoming season, look to Shiseido. The just launched Shiseido Fall Collection offers new products and colors, with the focus on the eyes.

Created by Shiseido Artistic Director Dick Page, this collection will leave you longing for more. Take a look at the new products and colors.

Luminizing Satin Eye Color Tri-Color Palettes - $33.00
Inspired by Dick Page’s travels around the globe, these seven Trios consist of naturally contrasting and highlighting shades that brighten eyes. The luxurious powder spreads evenly onto eyelids, providing the exact texture and color desired.  Each shade can be worn together or separately for a wide variety of looks and effects.  The seven unique palettes were inspired by moments taken from landscapes around the world and casual sights seen during Dicks travels. 

Nourishing Mascara Base - $23.00
This new mascara base conditions damaged lashes and helps improve suppleness, while simultaneously intensifying the volume of mascara.  Applied on its own, the base provides an elegant, glossy finish and long-lasting curl. Combined with mascara, the duo works together to give lashes a lustrous, full look. The mascara is designed to give lashes a dramatic, voluminous look with just one coat.  The mascara’s uniquely designed wand helps mascara adhere to the lash all day long.  Its volume-enhancing ingredients have been proven to create a 200% increase in volume for maximum impact.

Automatic Fine Eyeliner - $29.00
This unique eyeliner provides smooth and controllable color for intense definition of the eyes.  The click-pen brush releases the ideal amount of liquid for precise and easy application of either bold or fine lines.  The deep glossy formula is tear and perspiration-resistant, fade-free and smudge-proof and requires no touch-ups all day!  Choose from black or brown.

The collection also features a brand new Corrector and Concealer plus new colors in the infamous Perfect Rouge Lipsticks.

Perfect Rouge Lipstick - $25.00
This lipstick was the first global color collection created by Artistic Director, Dick Page.  The Perfect Rouge collection now offers five new alluring shades that provide the truest, intense color for a sophisticated and perfectly lustrous look. The luxurious texture smoothes and hydrates for ultra moisturized and vibrant lips.

Pore Smoothing Corrector - $30.00
This new corrector is a long-lasting, pore-correcting foundation that visibly erases prominent pores and oily shine.  When applied in a circular motion this gel formula helps even skin texture and brightens a dull complexion caused by excess oil.  After use, skin looks more radiant and feels silky smooth.

Natural Finish Cream Concealer - $25.00
This concealer offers a wide range of colors to match a variety of skin tones.  This concealer perfectly covers flaws including dark circles, dullness and uneven areas like reddened cheeks, discoloration and freckles.  It also provides naturally finished-looking skin without dryness or tightness. This smooth, easy-to-blend cream is sweat, water and oil resistant.
