The COVERGIRL Capitol Collection.

I can't wait until the movie The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is released next month. I'm even more excited to see all the avant-garde makeup looks in action during the movie. It was all created with makeup from COVERGIRL. Of course they have a collaboration for all us fans who want cinematic color in wearable makeup, because let's be honest- we're not going to be running around in these exact looks, no matter how striking they may be. Use these looks as inspiration for your own fall look.

If you love a rich, opulent look, recreate the lip look of District 1 Luxury, the look on the top left. If you want a more natural look for fall, check out the skin, lips and nails in District 9, the look on the bottom right. To see all of the looks and to get product tips and tutorials, visit the Capitol Beauty Studio at COVERGIRL.com.

Fall 2013: CHANEL Superstition Makeup Collection.

The new CHANEL Superstition Makeup Collection is in a word - beautiful. With shades of khaki, which can be worn by everyone, and matching pairs for cheeks and lips, this one has me yearning for fall and cooler weather now.

A firm believer in luck, Gabrielle Chanel surrounded herself with her favorite charms and talismans, as much for good fortune as for inspiration. The symbols that warded off superstitious fears now serve as silent muses for an enchanting Fall makeup collection. Sumptuous khaki tones are set off by new ‘lucky charm’ duos: entrancing, shade-matched pairs for cheeks and lips.

I love makeup shades that match, and pairing up cheek and lip colors are genius, especially when you want everyone to look at your eyes. Trust me, with these shades, that is where you want the focus to be, because the quad and shadows (Gri-Gri!) are intoxicating. I can't get enough. I think the pairs provide the perfect balance and help those that have problems when selecting coordinating colors, especially when going for a bolder lip and eye.

The collection:

LES 4 OMBRES Quadra Eye Shadow - $59.00
The metallic and khaki shades in this palette are captivating. Like I mentioned above, you want the eyes to take center stage when using a palette like this. The colors are so incredibly beautiful, no matter how you wear them.

• Mystere - Golden Khaki, Golden Ivory, Silver Taupe, Matte Khaki 

I have been wearing Golden Ivory on my brow bone, Silver Taupe all over my lid with Golden Khaki in the outer crease. Matte Khaki is perfect as a complementary liner.

OMBRE ESSENTIELLE Soft Touch Eyeshadow - $28.50
Eyes are beautiful with these chic powder shadows in soft lavender and luminous taupe. Gri-Gri is going to be one of my all time favorites, I already know. The shimmering taupe shade reflects the light so beautifully. Pair the shades together for a soft, shimmering neutral fall eye.

• Gri-Gri - Metallic Taupe
• Hasard - Matte Lavender

LE BLUSH CRÈME DE CHANEL Cream Blush - $38.00
This innovative blush features a powder-cream formula made up of sheer, yet vibrant pigments. The silky texture offers a longwear satin finish that can be applied with fingertips or a brush.

• Destiny - Golden Beige
• Presage - Apricot
• Revelation - Soft-shimmering Pink
• Inspiration - Soft Blue Pink
• Affinite - Intense Blue Pink
• Fantastic - Burgundy

STYLO YEUX WATERPROOF Long-Lasting Eyeliner - $30.00
This smudge-proof bronze khaki eye pencil looks beautiful with the quad as well. It offers a slight bit of metallic to it, but nothing too overpowering. I love how it lasts all day with no smudging.

• Khaki Precieux - Khaki with Bronze Tint

LE VOLUME DE CHANEL Mascara - $30.00
Lashes go bold while finishing the khaki look with this bronzed shade of khaki. I like using it with the liner, but over a base of black.

• Khaki Bronze - Khaki with Bronze Tint

ROUGE COCO Hydrating Crème Lip Colour - $34.00
Delicate beige and bright apricot shades dress lips to charm. These creamy colors coordinate with the cream blushes and feel so nice on the lips.

• Icone - Golden Beige
• Mystique - Apricot

ROUGE COCO SHINE Hydrating Sheer Lipshine - $34.00
Soft shades of pink pair beautifully with their creme blush counterparts. Pink looks unexpectedly gorgeous with khaki. It is not a color I would have thought to pair up. You can see how beautiful in the CHANEL beauty image above.

• Secret - Soft Shimmering Pink
• Instinct - Soft Blue Pink

ROUGE COCO SHINE Hydrating Colour Lipshine - $34.00
In deep pink and burgundy, lips take on an intense new glow to create a similar attention grabbing look to the eyes. I like these with the Gri-Gri and Hasard shades best.

• Rendez-vous - Intense Blue Pink
• Esprit - Burgundy

LE VERNIS Nail Colour - $27.00
The final touch of intrigue makes the collection complete with the three new polishes. Alchimie, a gorgeous golden khaki, shade is a must have this fall.

• Elixir - Milky Pink
• Alchimie - Golden Khaki
• Mysterious - Deep Khaki

MAC Tropical Taboo Photos & Review.

When I first read about Tropical Taboo, I was super excited. You know I love MAC Summer Collections, and this mid-summer launch is simply beautiful. The Tropical Taboo collection is full of mineralize products that will have you glowing. With shades mostly in the pink and purple range, these beauties are hot, hot, hot.

Rio Mineralize Skinfinish is the perfect bronzer/highlighter shade for me. The bronze and pink shades look gorgeous on my lightly tanned skin, though it is too shimmery for all over my face. Caci loves this one. She has much darker skin than I do, and is obviously much younger and can wear shimmer. She dusts this over her cheekbones, chin, nose and forehead for the perfect and balanced glow.

Sweet Samba Mineralize Blush is another one that is gorgeous on a tan. It is a brighter pink, though not too bright even on my skin, mixed with golden bronze. It is definitely more of a blush than it looks in the pan, with a soft hint of golden glow to it when applied.

MAC Mineralize Blush Sweet Samba

The Mineralize Eye Shadows are gorgeous, though heavy on the shimmer as well. I have three of the shadows; Caribbean with shades of pink, Dare to Bare with shades of lavender, cream and gold, and Tropica with shades of light silver blue and purple. They are so pretty, though I don't see myself wearing Caribbean. Too much pink on my eyes just make me look sick. Tropica is beautiful and it really surprised me. It looks great with a light pink highlighter and then this all over my lid. My favorite has to be Dare to Bare, and my daughter and I are fighting over this one. It is the prefect soft wash of creamy gold and lavender that will look great on everyone. I take a large fluffy eye shadow brush and apply it all over, from my brow bone all the way down to my lid.

MAC Mineralize Eye Shadow Caribbean, Dare to Bare, Tropica

For lips, I have Cremesheen Glass in Japanese Spring and Narcissus. They are light and bright lavender respectfully. For these, I like to layer them, with Narcissus (the brighter shade) on first. Line and fill in lips with the Heroine Lip Pencil, and lips will be even brighter and last longer.

MAC Cremesheen Glass Japanese Spring, Narcissus

The only Mineralize Rich Lipstick I received was Lady at Play. While it doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the items from the collection that I received, this color is perfect for me. Described as a cool tangerine, it is more of a pinky orange on me. I love the balm like feel and semi-gloss finish of Mineralize Rich.
