Lady Gaga & Cyndi Lauper

I love MAC's Lipglass and I cant wait for Sept 1,2010 because MAC will be introducing 2 new lipglasses for fall 2010 to correspond with the Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper Viva Glam From Our Lips campaign.  These are limited edition and will be around for only 6 months. Just like the same-named lipsticks, Cyndi is a coral with very subtle white micro-shimmer lipglass and Lady Gaga is a light pink with blue undertones and nearly imperceptible white micro-shimmer lipglass, both lipglasses just like all of MAC's Lipglasses are long wearing (about 4hrs) and have a light vanilla scent (which I absolutely love).

HAPPY BiRTHDAY CHANEL

           It’s Coco Chanel’s birthday!
Coco Chanel will forever be stamped in the history of fashion and today we raise a toast to this fashion giant on her birthday.

MAC & Rodarte: update

A few weeks back i had blogged about MAC & Rodarte were in the process of launching a collection inspired by Juarez but where faced with a huge controversy over the name of the products & well the whole line. Both MAC and Rodarte issued apologetic statements and although at first it was thought that they would release the line...they didn't...MAC has pulled the line and will also be donating the worldwide projected profits from the campaign to help those from the town of Juarez, Mexico. I'm glad MAC decided not to go through with this line, What do you think?

Who is Elizabeth Arden?

I was watching PBS ( Ok flipping through the channels) and saw a preview for  A new documentary called The Powder and the Glory will chronicle the lives, careers and rivalry Elizabeth Arden & Helena Rubinstein. Althought i have seen her products i didn't know much about Elizabeth Arden. SOO i googled her ( i LOVE google.) and i was excited about watching this movie which is based on the book War Paint by Lindy Woodhead, The Powder and the Glory was produced, written and directed by Ann Carol Grossman and Arnie Reisman.
Elizabeth Arden waa born in 1878, she moved from Canada to New York in 1909 she started her line and in 1912 she traveled to France to learn beauty and facial massage techniques used in the Paris beauty salons and in a time when makeup was worn mostly by prostitutes and performers, Elizabeth Arden transformed the way we wear makeup and think about ourselves, she passed away in 1966 and today her line is still thriving from makeup to perfumes.
The company also holds the license to perfumes from artist like Britney Spears, Hillary Duff && Mariah Carey.

This amazing story is definitely worth telling…and worth watching. So tune in for the premier of "The Powder and the Glory"  on Monday, Mar. 23,2010

My finding for this sunday was Urban Decay Cream Shadows which are normally $18 for only $9.27 (really odd price) This cream shadows are inspired by 70's vintage colors and are long lasting, fell light and do not smudge or crease. Even the packaging is super cute! it comes in a 0.2 fl oz tube that is travel-friendly and mess-free.
They are available in 4 colors (for the sale) at shopstyle.com
Asphalt (black with loads of silver)
Suburbia (medium bronze).
Radium (metallic blue).
Whipped (golden peach)
