Thierry Mugler Makeup

Have you tried Thierry Mugler’s? They’re mostly known for their perfumes (remember Angel?), but they also have a full line of makeup. I haven’t tried any of their products yet, but I like the upscale mirrored packaging; I hope the products inside are just as great !

Look Your Best Every Day with the Pixi Week of Wakeup Makeup Kit!

When I was a kid I had one of those sets of underwear with a different printed pair for every day of the week, and being the rebel that I was, I liked to wear the days out of order. Sometimes, I’d wear the Saturday pair on Wednesday, the Thursday pair on Monday — you get the idea.

I wonder if that’s why I feel compelled to wear the products in Pixi’s new Week of Wakeup Makeup (25euro) out of order… The new palette contains 21 powder eyeshadows, 7 powder blushes and eight lip glosses sorted into groups for a different look every day of the wee!

Be Bold on a Budget with These 5euro Milani Lip Flash Pencils!

The Milani Lip Flashes are pigmented, shimmery lip glosses in stick packaging — a little like budget drugstore versions of NARS Velvet Lip Gloss Pencils. Unscented and unflavored, they feel thick and sticky on the lips and offer full coverage with a four-hour wear time.

Stay With Me, Essence Longlasting Lipgloss!

Why do I like Essence Longlasting Lipgloss?

Pigment like whoa! — These are some of the boldest, richest drugstore lipglosses I’ve seen in a really long time, and kudos for their creamy finish. For sheerer coverage, all it takes is a few dots dabbed on the lips.
That feels good — I feel like cheering, “These feel good, oh, they feel so good, UH!” Non-sticky and smooth, they’re like slightly thicker MAC Cremesheen Glasses, and moisturizing as all heck.
You’re sweet — I’m not often a fan of candy-flavored lip products, but these, I like. They taste and smell faintly of red gummy bears (fades after about 10 minutes), which takes me back to the fights I used to have over those with my brother back in the day.

The NARS Fall 2011 Collection Is Calling the Cool Girls to Come Over!

I think there’s something very urban about this latest collection from NARS. While Summer 2011‘s carefree golds, greens and teals made me want to spend the day at the beach, these fall shades make me want to dress up and meet friends at a trendy restaurant downtown.
The nine piece collection for eyes, lips and nails (no blush this time) sets dark, bold hues against soft, subtle tones. I’m thinking gals with skin that sings in cool-toned dove gray, silvery taupe, rich plum and true blue will really like what they see when it arrives on NARS counters July 15.
I’ll post a few looks and detailed reviews soon, but for now, here’s a quick look at the entire collection, along with some swatches.
