MAC Launches New Liberty of London Line

I am a HUGE fan of MAC cosmetics – in fact it’s pretty much all that’s in my make-up bag besides a couple of lip glosses. I love when they launch new lines with fun partners. My favorite past line was the Hello Kitty line last year. I feel like MAC is at its best with the special lines because they’re so fresh, they have such fun packaging and they fly out the door.
Today, MAC launched their Liberty of London line. Below is a spread of all the different products which besides the actual make-up line includes an adorable make-up bag and a printed scarf.
I ran up to the store the Nordstrom MAC counter and a lip glass lip gloss in English Accents and an amplified crème lipstick in Blooming Lovely at $14 each. The color is sort of a light pinky-purple and I’m super excited to wear it with my new spring clothes!
Isn’t the casing just adorable? I love this coral color for lips that is part of the line as well.
The only disappointment for me is that the eye shadows are just individuals. I think that MAC does a phenomenal job of putting together colors for the four-color palettes that they usually launch with each line. I love the palettes because when I get ready in the morning I don’t have to think about what colors to put together, I just choose a palette and all the colors are right there for me. So, while I give kudos to MAC on a super cute Liberty of London line, I wish they would have had a four-color eye shadow palette as part of the line.
Check out the line and let us know what you think! Hurry before it sells out!
Oscars VIP Party Recap

More than 100 guests showed up for the Metromix Oscars VIP Party at Theatres at Mall of America this past Sunday night. People were definitely dressed to impress and I saw tons of fabulous ensembles. Doors opened at 6 p.m. with “paparazzi” snapping photos as guests made their entrance into this exclusive event. Hot on the “red carpet” were statement ruffles, caged heels and stunning embellishments. Hues of black, red and white ruled the red carpet as well. Party-goers enjoyed watching the Oscars from plush seats, sorting through Oscar swag bags and first class dining service from the comfort of their seats. It was a truly glamorous event– one made for the stars! See below for photos of our special Oscar-worthy models showing off dresses all found at Bloomingdale’s.

Product Review: Fiberwig Mascara

On a recent search for a new mascara I stumbled across Imju Fiberwig ($24 at Sephora). Fiberwig is a top selling mascara in Japan and claims to be ‘resilient to tears, sweat and oil’ while providing ‘false eyelash-like results’. This product comes in one color (black), and upon application the ‘fibers’ coat the surface of each lash. While this product does not flake or smudge (goodbye raccoon eyes!), I did find that it took several coats to lengthen and it doesn’t really seem to add volume at all. It also would not hold the curl in my lashes (which were sticking straight out by lunch!). Overall a very average mascara. Beauty Blog Rating: C

Reality TV stars Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian will be releasing a new line at Bebe stores this month. The brunette sisters collaborated with Bebe to offer inspired pieces from their closets. The line consists of basic jersey knits, fitted blazers and leather separates. It’s sure to please fans that can now afford to copy the “Keeping up With the Kardashian” look. Check out the newly released line at the Bebe (Level 1, North).
Get Your Glow On

Every year around this time, I reach a point when I look in the mirror and I can’t believe how pale and pasty I look (can you say March in Minnesota?). After searching the internet for a winter vacation getaway, I reach for the ‘glow’. There are some great glowly make-up options that can help get you through these winter months without looking like Casper’s twin sister.
Aveda Inner Light Shimmer Accents ($21.50 at Aveda, pictured left) – This is a liquid shimmer with natural pigments that help to create a luminous look (think J-Lo). Slick a little over your foundation and blush and you’ll be left with a youthful, sun kissed look.
Nars The Multiple in South Beach ($37 at Sephora, pictured center) – This is a cult favorite that I have used off and on for years (I initially bought it because I read in a magazine that Julia Roberts used it!). South Beach is a soft, shimmery apricot color. Put this on over a little self tanner, and you’ll look like you just got back from South Beach.
MAC Iridescent/Loose Powder in Silver Dusk ($20 at MAC, pictured right) – This is a superfine loose powder that I use over my blush. It adds a very subtle shimmer and just the right amount of pigment.
