MAC Red She Said
MAC Red She Said:
“Red” She Said, and no one could resist her! MAC Holiday 2008 is a passionate pursuit of the Ultimate Red! Lips connive, then confess in shades from gilded plum to verge-of-vermillion. Hot colour, heated conversation, glorious gifts… Holiday Glamour was never this incendiary!
Dazzleglass and Beauty Powder Blush make a comeback for a limited time. Mineralize Eye Shadow goes from duo to trio: now a daring new ménage à trois, with two shades divided by a metallic “zipper” down the middle, for decadent dazzle. A tribute to all things passionate, “Red” She Said adds a dash of danger, a dose of erotic innuendo to the traditional holiday story. Experience it!
The MAC Red She Said collection includes:
Lipstick:
Quiet Please Sheer frosty pale beige Crazee Frosty mid-tone coral red with pearl
Pomposity Frosty mid-tone blue pink with pearl
“Red” She Said Mid-tone blue red Soft Pause Sheer dark brownish berry
Suggested Retail Price: $14.00 U.S./$16.50 CDN
CHANEL Launches Holiday 2008 Makeup Collection
A new romantic beauty reveals itself this Holiday season amidst a wealth of gently shimmering shades. Eyes are positively heart-melting, accented with soft, warm tones of chocolate brown and beige, while lips glisten with a dark glimmering richness. Keeping it all in balance: a subtle, natural, candlelit glow on cheeks. The effect is nothing less than enchanting.
Season Highlight: POUDRE PRÉCIEUSE OR GOLD HIGHLIGHTING POWDER WITH BRUSH LIMITED EDITION: The gold rush continues this holiday season with a loose powder as light, airy and shimmery as fairy dust. Beautifully sheer, luxuriously luminous, the soft, sparkling powder creates a golden veil to delicately adorn the face, décolleté, arms, even sandaled feet – anywhere a lightly gilded look is desired. An innovative half-moon brush ensures precise application and a perfect dusting of colour.
How To Get Fake French Nails in 10 Minutes
Love the look of French nails, or should I say fake looking French nails, but can’t be bothered spending up to 2 hours at the nail salon or paying up to $65?
Well, I’ve discovered a way to get the perfect French nails in just 10 minutes with Broadway Nails! I’m into the dark nails these days, so I was a bit reluctant to try Broadway Nails, which by the way, are available at Walmart and cost around $6 (Yes. Cheep right?). I was worried that once I glue on these fake French beauties I will have to be committed to them for months, like the French tips you get in a salon. The result was perfect French nails in 10 minutes which lasted around 10 days. They are easily removed, and I lost a few anyways after about a week. You can glue-on the nail back if you want to make it last a day or two.
MAC Cremesheen
New from MAC Cosmetics: the MAC Cremesheen makeup collection on-counter September 25th! (International: October 2008).
MAC Cremesheen: Speak softly, say something shocking! Cremesheen gives weight to your words, lightness to your lips! Application glides. Texture talks for you. Finish has the last word. But be warned – exotic sensation at the slightest titillation! A new vocabulary for lips, colour, shine.
A next-generation, crème-based lipstick that imprints bright, full colour with soft and supple shine. Lightweight, texturally slick, it provides full, rich coverage and easy application. Limited edition.
How To Get The Almost Black Nails Look
No sure if you have noticed but the almost black nails look is still in. You can try a totally black shade or deep colors like blue or purple infused with a black hue.
These are Talking Makeup’s favorites:
Try MAC Cosmetics Nail Lacquer in Nocturnelle, which is a Black-as-night black (Cream), or in Illegal Purple, which happens ti be my new absolute favorite!
And, CHANEL Le Vernis Nail Colour in #461 in Blue Satin.
