The New MAC Girl!

January 19, 2007/

A true beauty icon - Raquel Welch. In case you have not heard, Raquel has been named a Beauty Icon and has collaborated with MAC to bring you this years Beauty Icon collection.

Can you believe that this icon is 66 years old? AMAZING! And she has created this colour collection for an older woman. The colors are flattering, and in my opinion, fit for any woman wanting to look classy. And I want those lashes... if I could only figure out how to apply them!

The items are housed in beautiful tiger-print and glossy black cases. Beautiful.

My favorite items in the collection are:

Sultress Eyes - The colors in the quad are: Sultress, a dirty green-grey; Aria, a neutral mid-tone beige; Fake, a neutral pinky brown and Pure Energy, a frosty light pink.

Quite Impressed with These Brushes!

November 27, 2006/

If you browsed our Stocking Stuffer post, you will see that we recommend the Sonia Kashuk Brush Up on Style 6 piece Makeup Brush Set.

And if you don't know Sonia Kashuk is, she a phenomenal makeup artist that has fused "a professional makeup artist line with the Target chic, yet affordable image." It is the Sonia Kashuk Professional Makeup Line exclusively for Target.

I have to admit, I am very impressed with the quality of brushes she has available for the very low prices. The brushes are all full, with nice quality handles. They are basically nothing short of what you would come to expect from a professional makeup artist. They are quality - professional quality. And they work as they intend. The shadow brushes are some of the most superior brushes I have used!

Sonia has come up with a multitude of brush sets, perfect for giving them a good try out for yourself. And of course, they are great to give too.
