Philosophy Introduces the Supernatural Collection.

It is true. When a company that was founded on skincare and launches into makeup and how to make it better, you know it will be good for you makeup. This is exactly what Philosophy has done. I am sure you have seen some of it's makeup line in the past, but it has always been a bit limited. No more, as Philosophy has branched out and has expanded on this goodness with it's new full line called The Supernatural Collection.


As a Mom to a 14 year old who is just staring to experiment in makeup, this is fantastic news. The colors are light and fresh, with the makeup being good for the skin. You see, the Supernatural Collection is complete with healthy new makeup options that are derived from nature. Minerals, plants, fruit extracts, vitamins and antioxidants are all included to ehlp hydrate, improve and protect the skin. Just as important as what is in the products, is what they’re free of. The products contain no parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, talc, sulfates, propylene glycol, pegs or fragrance.

To kick off this new line, Philosophy is hosting a series of makeover events to help both Mothers & Daughters look their best this fall. Join Philosophy at the following Nordstrom stores to enroll in Supernatural Saturdays Makeup School.

The MAC Dazzleglass Creme Collection.

In my vast collection of lipgloss, there are more from MAC Cosmetics than any other brand. It is no wonder why. Their glosses are the best. In different formulation, with that same great vanilla flavor, non sticky gloss, full range of colors. One of my most favorite of late come from the MAC Dazzleglass range.

MAC has expanded, yet again, on this wonderful collection as they introduce their newest, DazzleglassCreme.

Ultra-luxurious, no sticky smack or drag, Aloe and Vitamin E enriched, keeps lips lightweight but strong-willed, for long-lustre, ultimate luminosity. Wear it alone for medium-sheer, dewy coverage…. For dazzle with absolute comfort, it’s better than brilliant. And the accompanying applicator brush is a dream.

These are the most soft out of all the Dazzleglass glosses. The glitter is not as heavy in this formula, but do not let that fool you. They are suspended in the formula in such a way that the high wattage dazzle glow you want is there.

There are currently 9 Dazzleglass Cremes available:

Sublime Shine Light coral brown with gold pearl
Soft Dazzle Mid-tone peach pink with gold pearl
Perfectly Unordinary Bright yellow pink with gold pearl
My Favourite Pink Light blue pink with pearl
Do It Up Bright blue pink with pearl
Luscious Spark Light orange with gold pearl
Totally Fab Bright yellow red with pearl
Creme Allure Bright yellow plum with pearl
Amorous Deep brown red with pearl

Each Dazzleglass Creme sells for $18, and they are available right now wherever MAC Cosmetics is sold, as well as online at MACCosmetics.com.
