MAC Spring Colour Forecast 2

The second installment of the Spring Colour Forecast is the coral based part of the collection. This grouping is much warmer and most likely will not be for me but I will keep an open mind and look at the whole collection. "If it's tawny, sensuous, glowing. It's CORAL. Pick a mood, decide on a demeanour, then mix it up for a fervent flash of authentic emotion! Find your forecast, pursue your passion with four vivid, sensual colour ways designed to capture the season in MAC style."

Time for the corals...

Eye Shadow - Highly pigmented powder. Applies evenly, blends well.

- Nanogold - sheer yellow beige with pink pearl (Lustre)

- Straw Fighting - frosty light yellow orange (Veluxe Pearl)

- Perky - Light salmon pink (Satin)

- Hot, Hot, Hot - mid-tone coral (Satin)

Crush Metal Pigment: Stacked 2! - Crush Metal Pigment in a shade wave of four stackable jars, specially selected for the Spring Colour Forecast collection. Provides intense colour payoff and medium coverage with highly reflective metallic sparkle. Creamy, crease-resistant. Long-wearing. Limited edition. Contains the following shades: pale gilded beige, yellow gold, green gold, and copper gold.

Plush Lash - A mascara formulated to instantly plump up lashes for extreme voluptuous effect. Works fast. Builds volume smoothly and evenly from root to tip. Delivers a silky, flexible, full fan of lashes. Fluid formula lightly coats lashes one layer at a time without smearing, smudging, or clumping. Goes on via an innovative, specially patented wand with a v-shaped groove that prunes the bristles on one side while leaving the other side full and lush. The short bristles coax the lashes upward to an extraordinarily sophisticated yet flirtatious curl, while the other side separates and combs the lashes root-to-tip creating a long, well-defined glamour lash. Volumizing, lengthening, curling, lifting. This mascara features everything you want, with all the top mascara no's: no clumping, spiking, smudging, or flaking.

- Plushblack - black

Lipstick - Colour plus texture for the lips. Stands out on the runway. Simmers on the street! What made MAC famous.

- Colour Me Coral - frosted light coral (Frost)

- Victorian - frosted light golden pink (Frost)

- Fresh Salmon - sheer bright pink orange (Lustre)

- Rose Maiden - frosted bright berry (Frost)

Tinted Lipglass - A unique lip gloss available in a wide variety of colours that can create a high gloss, glass-like finish or a subtle sheen. Designed to be worn on its own, over Lip Pencil or Lipstick, Tinted Lipglass is the perfect product for creating shine that lasts. It's pigmented, very shiny, and can impart subtle or dramatic colour. It contains Jojoba Oil to help soften and condition the lips. Tinted Lipglass is packaged in a convenient bottle with a sponge tip applicator that provides a quick, smooth, even application.

- Ember Glow - creamy light apricot (Cream)

- Kumquat - frosty tangerine (Frost)

- Cha Cha - mid-tone pink with gold pearl (Frost)

Blush Ombre - A powder blush featuring a shade wave of gentle ombre hues. Ultra-fine formula provides the cheeks with flawless, medium-buildable coverage and lightly pearled, natural-looking radiance.

- Ripe Peach - light coral

Nail Lacquer - Revolutionary new high gloss formula. Three long-wearing finishes - Cream, Sheer, and Frosted. Visibly different. Provides no-streak/no-chip finish. Contains conditioners and UV protection. Go hi-lacquer!

- Malibu Peach - bright creamy tangerine (Cream)

Creations: MV2 - Cool, calm, and classic. Vanilla teased with lemon, melted with lavender creme, and then given a warming shot of vanilla bourbon mixed with vanilla mousse and heliotrope.

I like a couple pieces from this collection but overall this one isn't my favorite. I like the eye products the best, I want the Eye Shadow in Nanogold and the Crushed Metal Pigment set. None of the lip colors are really for me, but I would like to try a peachier shade of blush. The only peachy shade that I currently own is NARS orgasm but I want to see how I look in a true peach with no shimmer. I don't really know what I feel about the Creations from this collection, I normally don't wear many vanilla fragrances and this one sounds as though it would be one that I would be putting away for next winter.

Within the last week, MAC has released four new collections all under the header "Spring Colour Forecast". Each collection is based off of creating an entire makeup look with the use of one shade. The collection that we are going to look at today is the Spring Colour Forecast 1, the collection that is based on shades of pink. This might just be a favorite of mine. The description of this Spring Colour Forecast is right here, "If it giggles, tickles, teases, it's PINK. Pick a mood, decide on a demeanour, then mix itup for a fervent flash of authentic emotion! Find your forecast, pursue your passion with four vivid, sensual colour ways designed to capture the season in MAC style."

Creations Hue: Pinkaura - Lingerly floral, slightly foxy. Starts off green then bursts into a flowery boquet of florals, black violet, and magnolia pearls. Sashays into a rich warm amber and balmy vetiver.

As I thought, I love this pink hued color collection and will be wanting a bunch of different items from it. Starting from the top, I want the Eye Shadow in the Rosy Outlook and the Da Bling shades. I love the Azalea Pink Blush shade and I am betting that it will be great for my skin tone. Lippie wise, I want the Lipstick in Phlox and Laugh A Lot and the Tinted Lipglass in Hush, Hush Rose. I have wanted to get Hush, Hush Rose ever since i saw the early pictures on Specktra. net and hopefully I will not be let down when I go to get the actual product. I also cannot wait to get my hands on the Pinkaura perfume that is introduced with this collection, I love florals and have recently been getting into green scents also so this one should become one of Spring staples.

So far I am liking this idea from MAC...

Philosophy Valentine's Products

Well, I guess that this is the last post about Valentine's Day products for the year. This collection from Philosophy contains products and fragrances that are both Valentine's Day appropriate and will take us all the way into the spring months. As always, this collection consists of both individual products and little sets.

Let's see what's new...

Cherry on Top Shampoo, Shower Gel, and Bubble Bath - Delight your senses with this mood-topping cherry as you lather from head to toe. This formula's rich, creamy foam gently cleanses and conditions, leaving skin and hair feeling soft.

Cherry on Top Lip Shine - Smooth and soften lips to a sweet "maraschino cherry on top perfection" while achieving a beautiful shine and a natural hint of color. The moment you melt this treat into your lips, you will know the good life can't be topped.

Butterscotch Bliss Shampoo, Shower Gel, and Bubble Bath - The classic, smooth, creamy aroma of butterscotch is sure to create a bath or shower experience that will melt you with bliss. This gently cleansing and conditioning formula leaves skin and hair feeling soft and smelling decadent.

Flirty Girl Shampoo, Shower Gel, and Bubble Bath - Bring the playful scent of flirtation to your bathing routine with this gentle formula that leaves skin and hair soft and conditioned, and your attitude ready to take on the world with a wink. The fun-inspiring aroma will always leave you wanting more.

Flirty Girl Body Lotion - Treat your skin to serious moisture, infused with a fun, playful scent. This hydrating formula contains natural olive and macadamia nut oils to help soften skin and aid in moisture retention. A dose of shea butter helps nourish dry skin leaving it feeling silky smooth.

Flirty Girl Lip Shine Duo - This fun, playful duet gives you two ways to make your pout deliciously pink and feminine. Flirty Girl is a softly sweet and delicate pink. Bubble Gum Blow Out is a sugary sweet and deep pink. Both lip shines help hydrate, smooth, and soften lips.

Flirty Girl Set - Philosophy's Flirty Girl scent is sweet, soft, and fun - a lighthearted pick-me-up for girls of all ages. Enjoy a rich, foaming lather formulated to gently cleanse and condition skin and hair. Treat your skin to the natural-oil-infused body lotion, designed to increase moisture retention, provide nourishment and leave skin feeling silky-smooth. Add a brillant finishing touch on lips for the complete flirty effect.

Also with the introduction of this collection, the Sephora that I visited had a complete restock of the Bubble Gum Blow Out 3 in 1. I still love the Bubble Gum Blow Out and want to get the lip shine set that has this scent in it. Flirty Girl was just ok, it was a somewhat generic fruity sweet fragrance. If I didn't have so many products that don't smell all that different from it, it would be something that I would like more. I do like how they are beginning to offer more moisturizers that match their washes, I just wish that the Cherry on Top would have one. I really like the Cherry on Top, cherry seems to be a big deal going into this spring. I like the Butterscotch Bliss fragrance but I think that it might be a bit much on a daily basis. I don't know that I would want this product in the full size but I will be watching for it when it is available in smaller sets.

Urban Decay Spring 2010 Collection

As I am typing this, the hype surrounding the Alice Book of Shadows is continuing to grow at an exponential rate. With this as a previous, I am willing to bet that Urban Decay has some other amazing products coming out this Spring. I am never disappointed by Urban Decay and I know even if all they did was repackage old shades and give them new names, I would still swoon. But I doubt that they would ever consider doing that so we have a new crop of products and shades from this company to look forward to this season.

Let's check out what I will be lusting after all season...

Stardust Eye Shadow - It's something unexpected in eye shadow: an explosion of stars. Stardust Shadows' silky texture delivers an incredible amount of sophisticated, twinkling sparkle. Boasting 40% more glitter than our most sparkly shadows, Stardust delivers a sheer wash of color, topped with teeny bits of iridescent sparkle that glisten like wet snow. The glitter (a pricey ingredient called reflex) actually stays on your lids. No fallout, no chunky glitter...just stunning sparkling eyes. From uptown neutrals like black, gray, and brown to bright pops of turquoise, green, and purple, the galazy of shades helps create tons of looks, and blend well with our other Eye Shadows and range of 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils. The futuristic, squeeze-open case holds over TWO TIMES the amount of product in our other Eye Shadows. With all this Stardust, you'll be dreaming of date night at the laserium.

- 54 - light purple with iridescent sparkle

- Atmosphere - deep turqiouse with iridescent sparkle

- Bobby Dazzle - white with iridescent sparkle

- Diamond Dog - brown with iridescent sparkle

- Griffith - green with iridescent sparkle

- Moon Spoon - gray with iridescent sparkle

- Retrograde - dark purple with iridescent sparkle

- Space Cowboy - beige with iridescent sparkle

- Void - black with iridescent sparkle

Eye Shadow Primer Potion - Eden - An eye prep product that provides smoother, longer-lasting, and absolutely crease-proof eye shadow - and is now offered in a very-wearable, tawny, matte hue. Eye Shadow Primer Potions from Urban Decay are unmatched in the beauty industry! The genie in these bottles fulfills three wishes: eye shadow that lasts, more vibrant and lasting color, and absolutely NO creasing. Apply Primer Potion to lids before shadow application and it dries down almost instantly, creating smooth lids that are super-powered eye shadow magnets. Urban Decay offers several unique shades in their Eye Shadow Primer Potions, but all boost the same unbelievable function. Eden is matte-finish, tawny hue and gives you a stunning "no makeup" look when worn alone or complements other eye shadows worn in combination. Packaged in a pretty genie bottle, all these Potions are applied with a magic wand and flocked applicator.

Eye Shadow Primer Potion XL - Sin - A shimmering, champagne-hued primer that seriously ups the staying power of your eye shadow and now comes in a larger-than-life XL bottle (that's 60% larger than the original size!). This two-in-one beauty miracle combines the shimmering champagne shade of Sin - one of Urban Decay's best-selling eye shadows - with the staying power of their incredible Eye Shadow Primer Potion. Used alone, it's a crease-proof shadow. As a prep before your eye makeup ritual, it becomes an eye shadow magnet. But this power tool doesn't stop there! Use it on lids to perk up tired eyes, or dab it on the brow bone and cheeks for the perfect highlighter. You can even wear it in combination with other shadows and have it peek out as a highlight. If your look doesn't call for shimmer, don't worry, it won't show through your shadow. Sin goes on silky and is universally flattering, so whatever your look, Sin makes it last!

Razor Sharp Ultra Definition Finishing Powder - A high-tech translucent powder that provides a stunning, soft-focus effect, even under bright and unforgiving light. Designed for the stars of film and flat screens, this high-tech finishing powder contains silky, micro-fine particles that fool the eyes with "optical blurring" and micraculously seem to airbrush away skin's imperfections. It provides a smooth, flawless, soft-focus finish that flattering under even the harshest of lights. Use Razor Sharp as a finishing touch after foundation, or wear it alone to create a perfect "bare skin" look. However you apply it, you'll be addicted to the tiny refreshing water particles that float on skin's surface and burst when applied.

We have already gone over the Alice Book of Shadows so I feel no need to write it up all over again. On my next trip to Sephora, I think that I will be buying both of the Sin and Eden Primer Potions, I already love the original and I want to see how these measure up. I also want to test out the Finishing Powder against the one that I already love from Make Up For Ever. From the Stardust Eye Shadows, I must have the Space Cowboy shade. It looks as though it is very similar to Midnight Cowboy which I have been obsessed with in the past month. I just can't imagine it being more sparkly than the original but somehow it is going to be. The other shades that I want almost as much are 54, Bobby Dazzle, Moon Spoon, and Void.

Space Cowboy has captured my heart, I think this is going to be my new favorite "going out" shade...

Nude Skincare Facial Cleansing Oil

For the past few weeks, I have trying a facial cleansing oil instead of my usual milky cleanser for my winter dry skin. For a decent amount of time now, I have been curious about using oil to clean my face instead of a traditional cleanser. However, I must say that I often put off buying one of these products since they are on the more expensive side and all the bottles are huge. I had also read that the bottles take forever to use up and I was afraid that I would be stuck putting out the cash for a product that I wouldn't like and I would be using it for the entire next year. I really lucked out on this product though. I was given this product as a choice at Sephora for my deluxe Beauty Insider sample. The sample is very nice sized and I need very little of it to clean my whole face.

The oil that I am referring to is the Facial Cleansing Oil from the British brand Nude Skincare. This line overall gets the Sephora seal for Natural products and their line is very much plant based in origin. This product is considered by Sephora to be "an antioxidant-rich facial cleanser". Here is the more detailed description on the Sephora website, "Nude Cleansing Facial Oil is a luxuriously pure and effective detergent-free oil face wash for normal to dry complexions. It allows you to remove makeup and cleanse without stripping skin of needed moisture."

The instructions on the side of the bottle stated that that two pumps of this product should be dispensed and then the user should warm the oil up in their wet hands until a milky lather is created. I did all the above and my first comment is that describing the result as a milky lather is a bit of a stretch, all I got was a somewhat more milky version of the oil. Also, this product has a very unique scent to it that I had to get around. Looking closer at the Sephora website, it states that Soybean Oil is one of the first active ingredients and I bet that that is responsible for the smell. It is a natural fragrance so it fades away as soon as I was the product off of my face. I can live with the fragrance, it's not all that strong and pretty easy to ignore. This product also contains Omega 3 and Vitamin E to cleanse without stripping any moisture out of the skin.

The product does a great job of getting all the makeup off of my face, I do use a separate eye makeup remover so I haven't tested it out in this respect. The product is easy to rinse and doesn't leave an oily residue like I feared that it might. It hasn't dried my skin out yet and I think that I am beginning to prefer it in the colder months to other cleansers that I have been using. Also, I have not broken out once during the whole use of this product.

I think that this is the best Beauty Insider sample that I have gotten yet from Sephora. It is huge and has been lasting me a really long time. At the beginning of next Fall, I will go up to Sephora to get this product in this full size so I can use all during the colder weather. I need to take some more time and learn about the rest of the Nude Skincare line and see what other products they carry that are as good as this one.

Coconut Hut Valentine's Day Fragrances

As we have discussed before, Coconut Hut Beauty is a company that you will love if you love warm weather and all the tropical fragrances that go along with it. The last weekend was well below freezing so I am more than happy to embrace a couple of tropical-inspired fragrances. The owners, Lena and her husband were on vacation to Maui last month and therefore, her February fragrances are based on this vacation and are perfect for the Valentine who is sick of the cold.

There were only three new fragrances released, which is slightly disappointing to me but let's check them all out now.

Passion Coco Kiss - Get your tropic on! Waves of passion fruit nectar and sweet coconut milk gently break against a surf of Hawaiian pineapple.

Haleakula Sunrise - Delicate tuberose entwined with pikake, a whisper of gardenia, ending with the sweetness of island mango.

Hana Rain - The green and lush mountains of Maui after a gentle tropical rain. Refreshing, clean, invigorating.

Who cares if there are only three new fragrances?! I want all three! I love the shea butter based body wash from this company and the body butter. Also, this company has a great choice of scrubs so any type of skin can get the correct scrub that they need. I think I can handle some tropical fragrances more around the middle of winter and into spring than all foody fragrances.

Bathed and Infused Valentine's Day Fragrances

My goodness ladies! I have been relooking over some of my Valentine's Day posts and boy do I sound crabby in some of them! I wanted to write all about the fun beauty products that are always released at this time of the year but somehow I just ended up grumbling about the holiday itself. To all you ladies who are waiting excitedly for the 14th, have a great time getting gifts for the guy and getting yourself all ready for a special night. My goal is get through these next few posts about Valentine's and focus on what I love about this holiday. Sweet scented body products, tons of candy, and seeing roses all over the place. Now onto the beauty.

This time, we are going to look at Bathed and Infused, the first etailer that I had ever ordered from and one of my overall favorites. This company always has fast service, an extensive scent list, and the packaging is the same every single time that I order from them. This company didn't offer any new fragrances at Christmas so (inspite of myself), I was very excited to see something new from this group. Actually, my first ever etailer purchase was Valentine's Day fragrances from this company so I have to love them. On first glance, the scent list of the limited edition fragrances is much longer than it has been in previous years so there will be at least one scent for everyone.

Let's jump right in...

Black Cat - This best-seller from Halloween is back by popular demand! A devious blend of black licorice and pumpkin, both of which are scents that reportedly drive men wild. Just wait until you cross his path - meow!

Blue Moon - Blue Moon, I saw you standing alone...Don't be blue on Valentine's Day! Lemon, blueberries, and marshmellow combine in such a dreamy way that you'll know you're not alone.

Blush - Just like that pinkish glow that creeps into your face when that certain someone is near, this fruity floral blend with a soft breath of vanilla and a hint of musk with recreate that indescrible feeling.

Box of Chocolates - You know the saying , "Like is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're going to get."? We say it doesn't matter if you treat yourself to a little bite of each one! This chocolate confection is based on just that philosophy. A little bit of raspberry filling, a little bit of caramel, a touch of almond, and a whole lot of chocolate. Take a little bite of each; we won't tell.

Bridezilla - Ah! We love your incessant chatter about dusty rose and mauve! Cash bar at the reception? Great idea! Definitely monitor your bridesmaids' calorie intake. Soft and innocent, this vanilla and stephanotis fragrance veils the nuptial nightmare that lurks below the surface.

Croissant - As you stroll down the Rue de Rivoli and catch a whiff of something delicious in the air, you're drawn to a small bakery where the fresh croissants are piled neatly in the glass display. "Un croissant, s'il vous plait." Ah, the buttery goodness just melts in your mouth.

Ever After - You'll happily daydream about this floral combinaton of rose, violets, and bergamot kissed with musk and vanilla. Prince Charming? Who needs him?

Femme Fatale - Sexy sandalwood and vanilla combine with a touch of chocolate that puts the red in lipstick and the high in heels.

First Kiss - Exhilarating as a first kiss, this deceptively simple blend of coconut, cherry, and almond will make you fall in love all over again.

Heart's Desire - Longing gently wraps its arms around you and your soul stirs. The feeling inside you swells like the tide and the love in your heart glows bright crimson. Coconut milk, blood orange, and sweet cake will have you falling in love.

Lady Chocolat - Sophisticated. Demure. Irresistable. Lady Chocolat is all about class. A decadent blend of fine chocolates.

Love Notion - The sexy allure of musk and pumpkin tempered with vanilla. This secret recipe is sure to tempt them closer.

Marshmellow Cloud - Butter cookies kissed by Tonka Bean float away on this fluffy, whipped marshmellow cloud. A sweet treat for your sweet tooth.

Paradise - Get lost in a lush, tropical jungle with the one you love and feast on mangos, papayas, and pineapples swirled with cotton candy for a sweetness that only the two of you share.

Pucker Up - Pucker up, buttercup! This tart citrus blend is a sure to be a true for your kisser. Polynesian grapefruit and a touch of sweet citrus are blended into this fresh, fabulous blend.

Pure Indulgence - Ahhhh, who doesn't love to be pampered every once in a while? Give your senses a treat with this complex fragrance that begins with a hint of brown sugar, delicate pink freesia petals, Madagascar vanilla bean, pure jasmine absolute, and ends with a slight touch of nag champa.

Ruby Slippers - The alluring ruby glow will tempt you too with this delicious champagne cocktail spiked with pomegranate juice, fresh blueberries, and a kiss of coconut.

Sensous Sandalwood - The rich, alluring scent of this sandalwood fragrance is incredibly sexy, and works incredibly well as a scent for men or women. Great for when you want a lush, woody, sophisticated aroma.

She's No Tart - Hey! Just because she's sexy and confident, doesn't mean you can judge her. She may not be a tart, but the fragrance she wears has bite. A floral with a twist: Lilac and Orchid touched with mint and lime.

Starry Eyes - What do you see when you look deep into your lover's eyes? Why, the heavens of course! Shooting stars and comets bubble across the sky as heliotrope, musk, and amber, and a touch of tonka bean waft through the air.

Violet Chiffon Cake - This light-as-air chiffon cake is dipped in sweet lightly scented with fragrant violets. Romantic and totally decadent!

Vixen - You know you're sexy and you need a scent that is as seductive and alluring as you are! This sensual blend brings together black currants, orange, delicately soft amber, vanilla, water lily, and hints of black pepper, and coriander.

What I love this most about this huge collection is that there are scents for every mood of Valentine's Day...love, kinda grumpy, and going out. Of this collection, Paradise is the only one that I have owned before, I bought it in the wash and the lotion about two years ago and it still remains one of my favorite scents from this company. The blend of the tropical fruits and the cotton candy is perfect. I highly recommend several items from this company, the body lotion and fluff, the body wash, and especially the whipped sugar scrub. I have not tried the EDTs from Bathed and Infused but they are much raved about on Makeup Alley's boards so I feel safe recommending them too.

Based on the success that I have had with the scents so far from this company, I would also like to get - Blue Moon, Box of Chocolates, Croissant, Ever After, Femme Fatale, First Kiss. Lady Chocolat, Marshmellow Cloud, She's No Tart, and Violet Chiffon Cake. Another great thing about this company that I forgot to mentio above? The turn-around-time is super quick, usually within a week so this company is also a great option for gift giving without having to think a month in advance.
