I wear mascara every day, applying twice a day on some days. The acts of curling, coating, and cleansing contribute a significant amount of wear and tear on my lashes, which is why I have been using this week’s pick for three years now: Talika’s Eyelash Liposils.

A while back M.I.S.S. Dree wrote about the wonder that is blue mascara. If you like experimenting with color, then you’ll love the new mascara colors offered by Urban Decay. With colors like Purple Haze, Indigo, Electric Blue and Black Cherry - these mascaras will add a ‘lil drama to any look. And, for the next week if you spend $30 or more you’ll get the XXX Shine Stash lip gloss set for free (it’s a $25 value!). Just add the word STASH at checkout. Details after the jump . . .

Benefit’s Benetint has had a cult following since it came out years ago and I am a part of that cult thank you very much. I’ve never been much of a powdered blush girl - it always ends up looking fake and caked on to me. Which is why I love Benetint - it gives you a natural rosy glow look that can be replicated by a few spins around the block. Up until now, Benetint has only been available in a “one color suits all” shade of berry red. Benefit has cooked up a new shade for the ladies called Posietint. Posietint is a bit lighter than Benetint and comes in a petal pink color. The stains work equally well on cheeks and lips and last for hours. I can’t wait to try this new shade!
A while back I posted about how I thought Keira Knightley was not the right person for the Coco Mademoiselle ads. “Though stunningly beautiful, I didn’t think Ms. Knightly embodied the class, elegance and style of Mlle. Chanel.” I meant to add that I thought Natalie Portman would have been a better choice. I just saw this photo of Ms. Portman wearing Chanel recently and it made me think of that again. Chanel announced a while back that Audrey Tautou would be the new face of Chanel No. 5 so I guess that’s out of the question for now. We’ll have to see, but my vote for the next face of a Chanel fragrance is N.P.

Right: A look from the Marchesa Fall 08 Collection via Style
Stila has done the makeup for the past 4 Marchesa runway shoes and it looks like the relationship is blooming. Based on the success of the color palettes, Stila is releasing the colors used in the Fall 2008 Marchesa runway show. Here’s what they have to say:
The Backstage Beauty Collection, which includes three palettes, each with one matte and two shimmery eye shadow shades and an eyeliner. The Front Row Look is a black-patent palette with a smoky quartz eyeliner; The Red Carpet Look is a red-patent palette with an onyx eyeliner, and The Runway Look is a pewter-patent palette with an onyx eyeliner. Each palette is finished with fake leather rosettes that can be reused as necklaces or bracelets.
The colors look really fresh and wearable but my favorite part is the packaging. I love Marchesa dresses for the beautifully folded flowers and the flower wrap for the case is the perfect finishing touch - especially when you can use it as a necklace, bracelet or hair accessory! The palettes will be available in August at Sephora stores, Sephora.com and StilaCosmetics.com and will retail for $40.
Want your lips to pop? Well, M·A·C ’s new Dazzleglass lipcolour dazzles with light and shine to bring an exciting dimensional pop to your lips.
Large particle pearls reflect and refract light to mimic the brilliance of quartz and opal crystal (that’s hot). The lipcolour provides exceptional shine with a crystalline iridescence and is non-sticky, non-tacky, lightweight and moisturizing (even hotter).
Wear it alone, or layer over lipstick or Lipglass for a dramatic effect. The dazzleglass is available in 16 colors, from blue comet to ms. fizz, there’s a color for every mood and shade. Each Dazzleglass lipcolour retails for $16.50 US and for a limited time, if you use the code DAZZLE at checkout you will receive free standard shipping on your online order.
Happy Shopping!
Chanel has just announced that Gold is a central theme of it’s Fall 08 and Holiday 08 cosmetics collections. These are the first makeup collections by Peter Philips, the new creative director of makeup at Chanel. For his first collection, he took inspiration from Coco Chanel’s personal apartment on Rue Cambon which he found very warm with rich colors surrounding him like earthy browns, gold-gilded frames and crystal chandeliers. The collection includes a gold nail polish called Gold Fiction and Kaléidoscope (a shiny green gold) for fall and a gold brown nail polish called Haute Chocolate for holiday. Will these colors become the next it colors like Vamp, Black Satin and Blue Satin? I guess only time will tell. The collection also includes gold lip gloss, gold highlighting powder and a black eyeliner with gold sparkle. I think the colors will be popular and they are very seasonal since Fall usually favors rich color and Holiday always has a little bit of glitz for all the holiday festivities. The Fall collection will be available in stores beginning in July and the Holiday collection in October.
Urban Decay has always had really fashion forward colors and great combo kits to get you looking glamorous. If you’re a fan of the brand, or have never tried their stuff, today’s your lucky day ’cause they’re having a 50% off sale. They have a great selection of uniquely colored liquid eyeliners, lip glosses and special edition product. It’s a steal! Act quickly while supplies last.
