Illamasqua

I love makeup but don’t usually like shopping for it and I often rely on the makeup artists that I work with for their advice and suggestions. This time I just wanted to venture out on my own so I thought I’d pay Illamasqua on Beak Street a visit. The staff was very helpful and very knowledgeable. It’s surprising how often you can go to a cosmetic counter and you just feel like the staff is trying to push products on you. The makeup artist was so good that I just wanted to buy everything (it doesn’t hurt that the products are so reasonably priced too!) I’m also looking forward to the launch of ‘Toxic Nature‘, their new makeup range.

This season I was able to see quite a few shows at the Old Sorting Office by My Beautiful City. I really enjoyed Henry Holland’s show, it was so fun and upbeat, and you felt like you could wear so many pieces in the collection. Love the red lips with a hint of pink!

NARS Boutique – Flagship Store NYC

 Nars NewYork NARS Boutique   Flagship Store NYC

A few nights ago, I was invited to the opening of a new NYC flagship store for ultra cool cosmetic company NARS. The new store is located at 413 Bleecker Street. It’s a great area for a shop to be placed in Manhattan as its on the same street as Marc Jacobs and Sex & the City famed cupcake emporium – Magnolia Bakery. Some of NARS iconic products are Orgasm Blusher (a coral infused with gold shimmer), Jungle Red Lipstick (a super sexy retro red) & Body Glow (a golden shimmer body oil). I also like to carry a bottle of NARS eye makeup remover in my makeup kit. It’s fab at taking everything off the eye lid with out leaving a sticky residue, so you can easily apply eye shadow on the lid straight after. A must stop and shop destination spot for anyone visiting NYC.

wonderwoman Mac 2 The Wonder Woman Collection

I’m so excited for MAC’s Wonder Woman collection! Showcasing  4 gorgeous lipsticks including its iconic Russian Red  plus Marquise d’ (cream peach), Spitfire  (bright magenta) & Heroine (vibrant bronze). The packaging and advertisements for this new range are so fun. I remember as a little girl thinking Linda Carter, the actress who played Wonder Woman on TV at the time was so beautiful; even with her cartoon like makeup of blue eye shadow and bright red lip s- some how it just worked. What I wouldn’t give to have an invisible airplane and a lasso that can make people tell the truth… I guess I’ll just have to settle for one of MAC’s cute little makeup compacts!
