Givenchy dazzles us all with a very diamond infused collection that begins with two shades of their crystal lip gloss in Diamond Fancy and Pure Diamond ($22.50); Lash Sparkles in Lash Diamonds ($23.00), lipstick in Rose desire ($26.00), Captiv’Eyes mascara in Extreme Black ($25.00); and finally the one that glitters and sparkles is their All-Over Diamond Effect Powder ($50.00). Santa, will you bring this goodie into Temptalia’s stocking? Please? I’ve been very good! Word is that Givenchy’s holiday collection is available at Sak’s, but it should be more visible in the upcoming weeks. View their fall line at www.givenchy.com.
NARS Cosmetics has launched their Holiday 2007 collection on www.narscosmetics.com for your early purchasing pleasure (who says the holidays can’t come a little earlier for us beauty mavens?). The collection includes several new eyeshadow duos (Balthazar, Cheyenne, & Violetta); two new single eyeshadows (Night Rider & Night Snow), blush in Luster, two new lipglosses (Bad Education & Rose Gitane); Viridiana lipstick, lipgloss/lip stain duos (Metis/Victoire, Moon Fleet/Indian Red, Sand Piper/Daredevil, & Turkish Delight/Sayonara), Saratoga nail polish (this is what Temptalia is lemming!!), and finally Perfecting Powder sheets.
What’s your favorite eyeshadow combination? What shadows do you use (brand and name would be lovely!) and what kind of colors are they? What makes this your favorite combination?
MAC Cosmetics has put up their famous Halloween face charts! These are great to copy, find inspiration from, or simply admire. In fact, they are perfect for Temptalia’s October contest, too. I included a few more of my favorites, but there are many more to view at www.maccosmetics.com.
With October comes Halloween, on the 31st, and because Temptalia is all about creativity and makeup, we want to see what our readers can come up with to celebrate the holiday through the powers of beauty and artistry!
Introducing…Temptalia’s Halloween Mask Challenge!
Show off your talent by creating a face mask that you might see as part of a Halloween contest — this means the content of your mask is quite open-ended, as there are an endless number of costumes one might wear for the spooky night. The mask must be made using makeup (props are welcome), and it must appear on a person, whether it’s you or a model.
Winner receives a $60 prize (half in MAC, half in other high-end beauty products). There will be one grand prize winner, but there will also be a smaller prize that goes to the person who wins the “readers’ choice” award!
Contest ends October 31st, 2007.
Keep reading to view the details, contest rules, and see some examples of past MAC Cosmetics Halloween face charts for inspiration.
Temptalia has you covered for the Alexander McQueen collection, which launches this Thursday, the 11th, at MAC freestanding and PRO stores, and select Nordstrom’s and Macy’s counters. Check out the product photos! Swatches to come on Thursday.
