Emanuel Ungaro Collection is now available online! Are you getting anything? We've heard some confusing launch dates for in-stores, but perhaps with the website getting it up today, then Thursday will then be the launch day.
Also, here's a hint: type in "RED" in the search box. You'll see a lot of the...
Urban Decay's Holiday Collection has this delightful trio of Heavy Metal Glitter Eye Liners ($36.00), which includes Glam Rock (silver), Stage Dive (teal), and Metalhead (purple). You can expect this to hit stores pretty soon, as most of their holiday sets and gifts are already available at ...
If you could only buy three makeup products for the rest of your life, what would they be? (Makeup only -- thus, this excludes skincare and the like!)
Thanks to Neena for the question!
Look what arrived today... YSL's Pur Black Gloss. Yes, Black. Yes, I paid $28.00 for it. No, I will probably not wear this anywhere out except, perhaps, on Halloween (kidddingg). I think it speaks for itself; I mean, what are you looking for in a black gloss? For me, novelty. YSL does a good job...
So remember how enamored I've been over YSL's new lipstick, Rouge Volupte? They're running an art contest in celebration of their latest signature lipstick. The grand prize winner will win a two-night weekend getaway to NYC for two as well as a $500 gift card for "spending money." You'll also be...

China Glaze's Rodeo Diva Collection really caught my eye. I haven't gone on a nail polish spending spree in sometime, but I just couldn't get these out of my head. There were so many colors that called to me. In reality, I didn't fall in love with as many as I wanted to, but I did find several that...
Urban Decay's Holiday 2008 assortment offers this delectable eyeshadow palette called the Book of Shadows ($45.00). Personally, I think it's really the star product of what's available (or coming soon) for their holiday offerings, despite there being a bejeweled "Poison Ring" ($50.00). It offers an...
What first got you into makeup? Glossy magazine spreads? A commercial? Your mom's red lipstick?
Thanks to Neena for the question!
As promised, I got un-lazy and actually did some REAL makeup. After using the Blue Zone eyeshadow duo, I doubt I'll be getting any more of the duos. I'm not particularly in love with this one - I think I'd be better off branching off and finding a lavender from another brand. :(
You will need the...
Here's MAC's Seasonal Peach Nail Lacquer from Cremesheen in a quickie swatch. This polish definitely needs a base laid down and probably three thinner coats would work better than two thicker coats. I find it a little pinker than the promo photo, personally, but there is some peachiness in it, I...
Chanel's Holiday 2008 collection includes Beiges de Chanel, which is a great quad of soft, warm tones. It's perfect for subtle holiday eyes, as well as more dramatic combinations (by using the dark brown with gold shimmer color). The colors were silky smooth and had good pay off. The only one with a...
What are your tips and tricks to hide problem areas or "flaws"? Like fine lines, pimples? Giving the face more shape? Slimming down a nose?
Thanks to Tanya for the question!
Lately, I have been sporting the foundation + lips look. The above photo was taken a few days ago, but I've been doing a lot of the same: foundation, light blush, lipstick, and gloss. This particular combination was YSL's Fetish Pink Rouge Volupte Lipstick ($34.00) topped with MAC Crystal Rose...
I finally received my nail polish haul from, oh, THREE WEEKS ago! (Sigh!!) I did quickie swatches (let's face it, if I waited until I had time to do clean, professional, pretty ones... you'd never see them) of everything I got, so expect to see an influx of nail polish posts this coming week :) The...
See a close-up photo of Seasonal Peach nail polish, too! :)
See close-up photos of Team Violets, Blue Zone, Fly-By-Blu, and Rave!

How do you choose what lip products to use to complement your eye look? Do you have certain shades you reach for certain color schemes?
Thanks to Roxanne for the question!
