Your First Look: M·A·C's RUSH METAL.

Rush to the M·A·C counter today. Rush Metal just debuted, and you are going to want to check these shimmery metallic hues.

 

I love this for the ultimate summer bronze look.  In the picture I paired the pigment in Rushmetal, and the lipstick in Frenzy, along with the essential eye shader brush 239. I can't wait to have more time to play.

The Rush Metal collection includes four lipsticks and eight pigments.
Lipstick $14.00
Thrills - Rosy copper with gold pearl
Frenzy - Soft muted pinky-peach beige with golden shimmer
Soft Lust - Tan with white pearl
Fast Lane - Mauve with silver pearl
Pigment $19.50
Rushmetal - Rich copper sparkle
Revved-Up Icy rose with reflects
Gold Mode - Tan Gold
Mauvement - Cool taupe with gold pearl
Off The Radar Warm orange with gold sparkle
Copperized Olive green with gold pearl
Quick Frost - Creamy white with soft green pearl
Cocomotion - Dirty gold with olive undertone and gold sparkle 

Oh, how I love using pigment. They are so fun to play with. I love to make my own lipglass out of them with the clear lipglass. The possibilities of using pigments are really endless. You just can't be afraid to play with them, and use your imagination.  Shadow, liner, highlighter, gloss, on your nails, in your hair. And these colors do not disappoint.

Rush Metal is available on M·A·C counters and online now. And stay tuned for information on the new Flashtronic line tomorrow.

A Beautiful Summer Glow!

Though it is not officially the middle of Summer, whenever July 15th rolls around, I feel like it is the middle of the Summer. And it depresses me.

I am so into my self-tanning routine, and I am pretty bronzed and looking good, if I do say so myself. But my cheeks needed a little pick me up for a beautiful Summer glow. Enter two of Lancome's cheek products that have my cheeks really looking pretty cheeky - and glowing beautifully!

Star Bronzer Poudre Sôleil Sun-Kissed Bronzing Powder ($34.50). This powder bronzer is available in five shades. For my cheek look, I am using Bronze Terre.

On top of a sweep of Bronze Terre over my cheeks and nose, I apply Blush Subtil Shimmer Delicate Oil-Free Powder Blush ($28.50) in Coral Heat to the apples of my cheeks.

Coral Heat leaves a soft shimmer to my cheeks and adds the perfect glow. The blush is also available in Shimmer Mocha Havana, if you opt for a deeper cheek shade.

Make Up Forever Does Waterproof!

Leave it to the professionals at Make Up Forever to bring us the ultimate waterproofing summer set. The Aqua Essential Waterproof Eye Set ($45) is all you need to keep your baby blues (or browns/green) beautiful.

 

The set includes the most beautiful aqua blue waterproof eyeliner pencil, waterproof mascara, liquid eye liner, and the most innovative eye seal. Eye Seal is used to make any powder waterproof - amazing. And to take all of the sometimes hard to remove waterproof products off, a very gentle (yet effective) Sens' Eyes Eye Cleanser.
