I just got word that the collection has been pushed back and will be in stores on Thursday October 4th. Look for it online earlier, but your guess is as good as mine as to when exactly that will be.

Fall 2012: Estée Lauder Pure Color Beyond Black & Metal Mania Nail Lacquer Collections.

This fall, nails are either dark and vampy or full on metallic. Estée Lauder launched the new Pure Color Nail Lacquer Beyond Black and Metal Mania Collections just in time. The two collections bring on all the seduction, beauty and fantasy of the City of Lights at night, which encompasses the new nail trend.

Beyond Black is made up of five deep shades that saturate nails in rich and dramatic color, capturing the allure of the Parisian Femme Fatale.

• Caviar
• Bête Noire
• Blue Blood 
• Black Plum 
• Viper

Estée Lauder Pure Color Beyond Black

Metal Mania is made up of another five shades that dresses nails in glam glitters for a modern metallic finish.

• Nouveau Riche
• Explosif 
• Chaos 
• Smashed 
• Fiery Hot

Estée Lauder Pure Color Metal Mania

Don't be shy when you are doing your nails for fall. I love the darker shades and I do like metallics, but prefer a twist on both. Accenting a dark manicure with a metallic french tip or one metallic accent nail is a gorgeous way to go and fully embrace both trends.

Each Pure Color Nail Lacquer sells for $20.00 and is available right now at Estée Lauder and esteelauder.com.

Eyeboutique Shadow Shields.

You've perfected your face and now it's time to do your eye makeup. You decide on a smokey eye and as you're finishing up, you make a mess of the shadow under your eye. Of course it takes more time to clean up that little mess and fix the under eye are than it did to do the whole look. Ugh... Tell me, how many times has this happened to you? Me too. Countless times. But it doesn't happen anymore. When I set out to do an intense eye or use dark shadow at all, I first apply an Eyeboutique Shadow Shield.

This handy little cloth half moon discs stick right on underneath the eye to catch the mess in the first place.  There is a sticky back, but only peel back the edges and stick it on.

I am not sure if they are designed to be used again, but I do. I use the same Shadow Shield on each eye and place the sticky back paper back onto the shield and store it back in the plastic bag to use at a late time. It really is very cleaver, easy to use and saves me so much clean up time.

Look for Shadow Shields online at eye-boutique.com or at drugstores such as drugstore.com, Rite Aid and Duane Reade. A box of 14 shields retails for around $5.00.
