New Swatches From MAC: Art Supplies

From the lovely Erine at Specktra.net:



The first picture is of the Pro Longwear Lipstain Markers (16$ each, those colors look a bit repetitive don't they? But I'm intruiged, especially by Full Of Flare), the 2nd pic is of the much anticipated GreasePaintSticks (17.50), of which I have Greengrease, Slick Black, Dirty and Zinc Zone on my wishlist, and the last are of new Pearlglide eyeliners (14.50$), and I'm interested in Undercurrent or Petrol Blue.

What looks good to you? I know I'll be dropping a load of cash on this one...

Shu Uemura Egerie Spring 2010

The collection is now available on Nordstrom.com. It includes:

Satin Glow Radiant Stick Highlighter, Blush: 40$, 2 colors. Description: "Soft, creamy texture for the cheeks in a stick style to create a delicate satin veil on the face. Highlight colors with tiny particles of pearls for a shimmery finish. "

New Black Leather false eyelashes. "Thick black lashes with eyeliner made from faux-snake pressed leather. Add of a hint of rock accessories for a wild and sexy look. " 30$.

Eye shimmer duo: 42$, 3 variations. Starry Violet, Glint Blue, Shiny Mint. Description:
"Duo-color eyeshadow that includes a shimmering creamy liquid and hyper-sparkling glitter powder. After applying the liquid base, layer on the soft, crushed, glimmering powder which stays on perfectly for sparkling and enchanting eyes. "



Nail Lacquer 2 shades, 18$. PA010 [Black], PA935.


It's all soo gorgeous! I am interested in the blush stick [not highlighter], the starry violet eye shimmer duo, and black, maybe pink nail polish. The lashes look so cool too, but I can't justify the price. This collection, with the tough black accessories but also pastel colors is soo up my alley!! What are you looking at?

Majolica Majorca & Shu Uemura Spring 2010!

From Rouge Deluxe. (pics in the link) Majolica Majorca is releasing a limited edition foundation case, pore primer, 2 new eyeshadow palettes [that look quite meh in my opinion], a couple of nail polishes and lipglosses, a new mascara and mascara primer.

Shu Uemura--It looks promising. Not like I'd buy the entire collection but it does look pretty.
Japanese website update here.

Collection consists of 3 variations of a duo cream eyeshadow (not packaged like Fall 2008 was, thank god), colors in taupe and light blue, gold-pewter and a lighter white, and a silvery color with purple. New false eyelashes, metallic black and silver gel liners [not sure if this is new or just repromo'ed], what looks like a twist up cream complexion product [a la Shiseido's rouge sticks] in a silvery highlighting color and a cooler raspberry color, 2 glow ons in M31A and M43B [they look like cooler colors], 3 lipsticks [of which one is PK322] and 3 nail polishes; light blue, light pink & a black with silver sparkles.


What I'm looking at: Complexion product in the highlighting color, the eyeshadow duo in taupe+light blue or silver + purple, & the black with silver glitter nail polish!

Thoughts on Chanel Spring 2010

I must admit that I have no photos for you today because when I was at the mall it was already very dark outside : /. However, Lina at The Beauty Look Book has beautiful photos that I will link you to here.

Lets start with the much talked about quad 18, Kaska Beige. It's DEFINETLY worth all the talk you've heard! It's gorgeous, not too shimmery, pigmented, silky. Soo pretty. It's got a creamy beige [more satin I think], a golden sand color, a plummy medium brown and an absolutely beautiful chocolate brown color. It might actually make me cross some MAC things off my list and go for this instead.

The new Jous Contraste blush Imprevu reminded me [before I saw it] of the one they released last spring, Fandango. Wrong! Imprevu is more peachy/tawny, where Fandango is more rosey bronze. I thought Imprevu was very shimmery and could go a bit dirty on lighter skintones, but for medium skins it should work perfectly.

The next much talked about item was the new face powder, Empreinte de Chanel Poudre Eclat Illuminatrice. It's very pretty and has a nice design that doesn't fade for quite some uses, but I found that there was a bit of glitter [not even that big, but I love my shu uemura barely noticeable glow ons] that I didn't like. It's golden!

The two single eyeshadows are all so pretty and great quality. There was Trace, a dark warm brown, and Sillage, a lighter pinky frosted nude.

There is also a new Ombre D'eau, liquid shadow in Torrent. It's a beautiful smokey olived green, leaning to the warm side. Chanel describes it as khaki.

The new glossimers were pretty but also very sheer. I have my eye on Maline though, a gold shimmer. The other one is Futile, the pink counterpart to Maline.

I didn't see the lipsticks or the nail polishes as I went by very quickly, but this collection is really tempting me to pick up my first Chanel!
