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

Posted on | March 11, 2010 | No Comments

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

fiberwig Product Review: Fiberwig MascaraOn 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

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.
