Product Alert! MAC's Spring Color Forcast

Yet another must have collection from MAC cosmetics!  These collections feature colors from four different groups Pink's, Coral, Plum's, and Amber.  The Amber collection to me is just blah....a few neutrals that I can really do without, but I will say that the quads in the pink and plum collection is a must have.  For those die hard MAC fans this is something to add to your makeup collection but for the pros I say save your money.  You know there are only 1 or 2 shades that will actually make it to your kit and MAC will surly discontinue them before you know it. Boooooooooo!!!  Then again I'm still pissed that they won't bring back Studio Mist Foundation.  Now will I get a quad or two for personal use yes I will but will it make my pro kit, not really.  Check out the video.....regardless of the collection MAC knows how to make a commercial!!!

Product Alert: Kim Kardashian the fragrance

$50 1.7oz. Eau de Parfum Spray

$65 3.4oz. Eau de Parfum Spray

After much anticipation 2010 finally brings us Kim Kardashian the Frangrance, and baby let me tell you it does not disappoint.  First off everything about this scent is S..E..X..Y to the 10th degree, from the ad, featuring Kim herself, to the actual fragrance.  With hints of jasmine and tonka bean this fragrance is perfect for an intiment night alone with that special someone.  Although while on my shopping trip at Sephora I did hear that many thought the fragrance was a copy of Poision by DIOR and I must say I don't think so.  I remember DIOR's Poision that was my scent back in the day with my tight booty jeans and heels (=irresistable) and I really don't see the simalarity at all.  It is now one of my top scents and is as sexy as the creator herself but DIOR it is not this is a fragrance that stands on it's own.  So if you would like to try the new scent by Kim K stop by your nearest Sephora and geta  sample but trust you will go back for the full size

Available exclusively at Sephora

Product Review: Carols Daughter Sexy Belly

So I know I haven't put up many bath and body product reviews because for a while nothing has really caught my attention.......that is until I tried Sexy Belly from Carol's Daughter.  First off I am surprised that I was even able to score this magic in a jar because it is usually sold out EVERYWHERE!  What is Sexy Belly?  This 100% natural product reminds me of a very luxurious body butter, it is vitamin rich has shea and cocoa butter which improves skins elasticity.  The scent is light not overpowering, I even wear my usual perfumes and body sprays with no interferance of the product.  It's recommended for sensitive skin and for mommies to be to prevent and lighten strech marks.  I think the product is a winner and especially with all this snow and harsh winter weather.  So there you have it Carol's Daughter Sexy Belly $17.00 for an 8oz jar but this product tends to sell out quickly so be sure to buy more than one at a time.  Until next time Be Beautiful

Product Review: Temptu Airbrushing System

There has been so much talk about this new Temptu system, I just had to get the product myself and try it out.  So here is my official take on the system..........And before you read this please keep in mind that I do use Temptu and have many of there products in my kit.

SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!  The only good thing I could find in this system is that they actually made a system affordable for women to use at home.  My issues are this there were too many steps just to get started, the noise level is off the charts for such a small system.  Now as a professional I have used many compressors that have there fair share of noise but this was just tooo much.  Now my biggest no no with the Temptu system is the selection of foundations and not being able to mix and get the correct color for my skintone.  Usually with airbrushing you can add drops of different foundations and mix to get your exact shade but that is not the case with this.  So I went through the one pod is too light then the next pod is too dark...........and layering the foundations is not an option either, I took this back to the store so quickly. 

Just know that I do love the Temptu products and I just think that they should refine the total package.  Make that compressor quiet, get a few more shades in the line since you can't mix them like other products and add an air pod in with the original package. 

So pair all of this along with the pricing and I will pass besides I am still keeping my fingers crossed that MAC will bring back Studio Mist foundation.  For now if I need airbrushing I will be mixing my drops or purchasing Dior Airbrush foundation.  Until next time Be Beautiful everyone!

Price: $225.00 for the system

          $55.00 for 2 pod refills keep in mind that the pods DO NOT come with the system

Mini Lipgloss Drama

I don't know about the rest of the MUA's out there but this wedding season I find myself with a bit of a problem this wedding season. Most recently I have increased my pricing just a tad to not only cover the rising cost of living but also so I can provide a little gift to all my brides and the bridal party also. So here is my problem not enough companies put out reasonably priced lip glosses and the ones that do put out mini's seem to always have them in a set and I may only need one or two shades out of that particular set. So what's a MUA to do.....take the bull by the horns and make my own lip glosses and glazes. I mean why not it would allow me to give my clients a gift without breaking the bank not to mention I would be the deciding factor on what goes in my own product. So I am going to document my little journey and let you all know how this turns out..wish me luck!!! Until next time B Beautiful everyone
