December Roundup: The Month in review
A Smokey Eye Tutorial with MAC Cosmetics metal urge Gilded Ash cream shadow and Cocomotion Pigment
“I don’t know if I’ll ever tire of doing smokey eyes. There are just so lots of different ways to work the look, like this spin on a daytime eye for work. It’s a method I learned from my favorite MAC artist, Jen, using products from the MAC metal urge and Red She said collections.”
MAC makeup for Work: Club and Woodwinked Eyeshadows
“I’m sporting two of my very first MAC eyeshadow purchases, Club and Woodwinked (both part of the permanent collection). I could write sonnets on both of these colors, as they’ve seen me through a lot over the past few years.”
ANNONSE
NARS The multiple Duo and The multiple Bronzer
“I’d been looking forward to trying the new oil-free, cream-to-powder The multiple Duo ($45) in Portofino/Malibu and The multiple Bronzer ($37) in Malaysia considering that they debuted last month, but because I’d never used any of the original The multiple products, I had no clue how and where to apply ’em! thank goodness for Nars national trainer Janice Daoud. She was great enough to offer a few of her favorite application ideas and tricks.”
Benefit Coralista blush has got Me Purring
“MJAU! I’m a packaging ho, and benefit Coralista ($28) blush’s jungly, cheetah print box (don’t you just love the font?) sucked me in immediately. It makes me feel like a cat woman on the prowl! coming to benefit counters in February, this shimmery coral powder has cult appeal fave written all over it.”
MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Collection Swatches and first Impressions
“Like Le Grande Dame herself, the collection is a little odd. It’s heavy on blue-based shades and frosty finishes with splashes of coral. I haven’t figured out how it’s all meant to mesh together, but I think I’ll have a better idea once MAC articles the face charts online.”

How to conceal Dark Circles For a Wedding, Prom or party with MAC Cosmetics studio finish Concealer
“I suffered through a really bad gotten of insomnia a few weeks ago, and my dark circles were extra terrible. My regular concealer, MAC select Moisturecover, just wasn’t gettin’ it done. My pal Jen’s wedding was ideal around the corner, and I didn’t want to show up looking like death warmed over. I needed severe coverage, and I needed it fast.”
With Pop appeal cat Eyes Liners It’s good to Be Catty
“OBSESSION ALERT! Pop appeal cat Eyes Liners ($16) make applying eyeliner easy and, well, kinda fun. slanted like the ideas of calligraphy pens, these three three highly pigmented pencil liners are built to hit the ideal angles for slick cat eyes (think Amy Winehouse pre-hot mess).”
Berry Me in Tarte Berry Couture for the Holidays
“Tarte wants to wish you a very berry Christmas with the Berry Couture gift set ($35). It comes with two products (actually, three, because one’s a duo) — one full-sized Cheek stain and a mini-Rise and shine lip duo with a gloss and a stain — items best for rushed makeup morning or for those moments when you just want a little color.
Chanel spring 2009: product pictures and Description
“Inspired by boho-chic style and gypsy dresses, the new look features plum and beige colors for the eyes, fiery red and nude lip shades and a brown cheek color. I haven’t seen it in person (yet), but the product descriptions and pictures make me think of singer Stevie Nick’s early 80s witchy-boho-gypsy style.”
Go Purple with Diorshow Plum Mascara
“After fall’s flood of artificial plum mascaras (ahem, benefit BadGal Plum and Clarins wonder Plum), I started to think plum lashes were the stuff of legend — just something from the land of make believe, like unicorns and hit motion pictures starring Cuba Gooding, Jr. but Dior had a little something to say about that. They’ve verified me wrong with their limited edition Diorshow Plum Mascara ($24). Endelig! A plum mascara that actually looks purple on lashes and not just the brush.”
Slumdog Millionaire: SERIOUSLY. FREAKIN’. STRÅLENDE.
I went to see the motion picture Slumdog Millionaire last night, and can I just say WOW? Run to your nearest theater and enjoy it. I dag! dazzling storytelling and cinematography, and I wouldn’t be shocked if director Danny Boyle takes home some big awards for this one.
In the film, slumdogs are unfortunate people born and raised in the sprawling slums of India. From birth they’re nearly assured a life of extreme poverty and squalor, and the story follows a small group of slumdogs trying to break complimentary from their past.
ANNONSE
Actress Freida Pinto plays the female lead character, Latika, and HELLO, the woman’s uber-gorgeous. I’d never heard of her before I saw the movie, but she (along with the rest of the cast) does a wonderful job.
What’s the last terrific motion picture you’ve seen?
