You’ll want to keep an eye for my Holiday 2008 makeup review from M·A·C Cosmetics! I met again with makeup artist extraordinaire Jane McKay , but in the meantime, I thought it was important to mention that today is a big day at M·A·C Cosmetics!

All my girlfriends and my reviewers love Pür Minerals make-up
I’ve documented my quest for the perfect mineral make-up in the past and I’ve revealed that despite having tried pretty much every single brand on the market, I had yet to find one that had the right shade for me.
You can read my review of Prescriptives Mineral Make-up here (this really didn’t work for me in terms of colour, but my friend Natasha has switched to a lighter formula of make-up and I suggested Prescriptive and she loves their mineral make-up … she cannot believe how light it is … yet it offers the perfect amount of coverage): Mineral Make-up is NOT for me!

Six Fall 2008 Makeup Trends

This means that if a look doesn’t suit you or if you simply don’t feel comfortable sporting a certain look, you can choose a look that you feel comfortable wearing.

My friend Krista gave me this nifty little jar of scrub for the lips. I thought it was the most precious little thing I had ever seen.

New YSL Touche Brillance lip gloss
Have you tried Yves Saint Laurent’s (YSL Beauty) Touche Eclat instant highlighter?
This product is one of YSL’s best-selling products and one of makeup artists’ best-kept secrets - by adding a touch of light under the eyes you can get rid of dark circles and fatigue.
YSL has taken this concept of adding light to the face to the lips and has just come out with Touche Brillance.
Simply put, Touche Brillance does for the lips what Touche Eclat did for the under eyes!

Lip Lust lipstick for luscious and moisturized lips
Can you own too many lipsticks or lip glosses? I hope you didn’t expect to me to answer yes to that question!
Nah, a gal can never have too many.
Lipstick and lip gloss are all about the mood you’re in. Now, as a beauty editor you can imagine that I have skincare products and cosmetic products stashed all over my office, but I’m always excited to discover new products.
I recently discovered yet another lipstick. What is it with those Brits? They are simply taking over with all their quality skincare and cosmetic products.
