SIGMA RESORT – Limited Edition Palette…

NZ Beauty Blogger - Sigma Resort Limited Edition Palette

The latest Sigma product to hit the market is the Limited Edition RESORT Palette!  This gorgeous palette has THE most beautiful vibrant aquatic hues I’ve seen in quite some time.

NZ Beauty Blogger Sigma Limited Edition RESORT Palette

You all know how big a fan I am of Sigma and this Limited Edition Resort palette is just another example of how well Sigma put together a supreme palette.  It combines rich and warm tone eye shadows with complimenting ocean-like hues for a unique makeup palette. The variety of colors allows you to create an endless array of looks, taking you from day to night, neutral to vibrant.  If there’s one thing that lets a lot of bright eyeshadows down it’s the fact that normally you need to apply a base to build from to get the true colour payoff.  Not with this palette – these eight ‘sand to sea’ eyeshadow colours are completely wearable without a base colour-builder.  The perfect palette to add a beautiful pop of colour throughout the winter season.

But it’s not just the eyeshadows that are amazing – they’ve also included THE most divine liquid highlighter (Luminesce), a blush (Heavenly) and a dual ended eyeliner pencil (Daydream and Earth Goddess), all of which perfectly compliment the shadows.

Although US$42 might seem like a lot at first glance – in comparison to what you’d spend on a MAC eyeshadow palette (sans everything else this palette comes with) this is actually a steal!!  Oh, did I also mention you can click HERE to get 10% off your purchase price using code “SAVE2013” on checkout – Not bad huh!!

M·A·C Archie’s Girls Collection

MAC Archies Girls Collection

M·A·C Archie’s Girls The Exciting New Collection

Betty and Veronica – the names alone are a vivid four-colour flashback to an era of sweet, comic book innocence. Their eternal love triangle, with all-American freckle-faced Archie, is legendary in its teen tension, tight sweaters and two-toned saddle shoe charm. Girl-next-door blonde Betty vs. vivacious, spoiled rich-girl, brunette Veronica, an epic rivalry, now in two contrasting M·A·C colour collections, packaged in exclusively designed cases. 

I can’t event begin to explain how excited I am about this range.  When I first heard about the M·A·C ‘Archie’s Girls’ Collection around 4 months ago I didn’t know how I would make it through until it’s release this February.  Of all the MAC collections, ‘Archie’s Girls’ holds a very special place in my heart.  As an avid Archie/Betty & Veronica reader, from around 8 years of age & right throughout my early teens, I hung on every word I read (albeit, they were comics so clearly not a hard read) and would flick through the same comic time and time again just adoring the fashion of Betty and Veronica (admittedly, more Veronica than Betty) awaiting the following Sunday when a new edition was released – I would even colour in their outfits to suit how I envisioned they should look.  I still have my entire Archie/Betty & Veronica comic book collection to this day and that collection literally contains hundreds of well-read and much adored comics (don’t judge me) and now I have this new MAC line to obsess over.

Take a look at the BEAUTIFUL new M·A·C Archie’s Girls collection… (I must own ALL of it!!)

LUSH – Emotional Brilliance Makeup

LUSH Emotional Brilliance

How adorable is this new line of cosmetics by Lush?!  Clearly I’m a marketer’s dream, because the Lush Emotional Brilliance new makeup line had me at their gorgeous packaging, reminiscent of vintage apothecary vials.

Now I have to say right from the get go, I haven’t actually tried anything from this new line yet, so I’m unable to review and give you my honest feedback on anything yet, however I promise that the moment I get some in my hot little hands I will blog my findings on them straightaway.  Being the Lush junkie that I am, I was perusing the Lush Times Summer Issue for new bath bombs (there’s no point having a bath without Lush bath bombs) and that’s when I saw this swoon-worthy line of Emotional Brilliance Lush Cosmetics… Here’s a little run down on what it’s all about…

Spin the Emotional Brilliance Color Wheel to get a personalized color reading (link below), choose the three colors that stand out the most and they will uncover certain words that reveal a little bit about your current state of mind. Then wear the color to match your ‘emotional brilliance’!

This range – consisting of lip colours, eyeliners and eyeshadows, is less about wearing make-up that’s in-season or on-trend and more about wearing colours that shape your mood. Emotional Brilliance is a way to wear colour that’s designed for you. Choose colours, each with a corresponding word such as Confident, Glamorous or Ambition, and they will be significant to your needs at that time – wear those colours and you truly wear the word.   

It’s the power of suggestion – if one believes enough in something, there will likely be a change in behavior.

Introducing The Bobbi Brown PINK & RED Collection…

Bobbi Brown NZ

I’ve just checked out the new Bobbi Brown Pink & Red Collection and it is truly divine!

With this collection, Bobbi Brown took an unconventional approach to the season’s traditional colour palette.  The Red & Pink Collection isn’t about matching your lips, cheeks and nails.  It’s about deliberately mismatching.  In the words of Bobbi Brown herself “I love pink and red worn together – it’s a very modern mix (and perfect for Valentines’ Day)”.

Check out some of the amazing products and colours from this collection:

Limited Edition
SHEER COLOR CHEEK TINT
Nothing makes a woman look prettier than a pop of blush. Bobbi’s Sheer Color Cheek Tint gives cheeks a tint of healthy, natural-looking colour. The translucent, lightweight formula glides on smoothly and blends evenly onto skin. Bonus: it’s packaged in a chic, swivel-up stick for easy,
on-the-go application. For a just-been-kissed look, apply Sheer Color Cheek Tint to the apples of the cheeks and blend down and back towards the hairline using fingers. Shades: Sheer Pink and Sheer Cherry.

New and Limited Edition
CREAMY MATTE LIP COLOR
Creamy Matte Lip Color is a unique matte lipstick formula that combines the look of a classic matte lip with incredible wearability. Creamy, moisturizing and highly pigmented, it glides comfortably onto lips, but feels extremely lightweight. Extremely high concentration of pigments delivers true color that lasts for up to 8 hours. Shades: Hot (New) and Heart.

New and Limited Edition Shades
SHEER LIP GLOSS
This lip gloss formula is super sheer and wearable. The translucent finish makes bold color easily wearable and is designed to enhance lips. Wear it on its own for sheer color or swipe it on top of lipstick for extra shine. Shades: Cherry (New) and Pretty in Pink.

Limited Edition
NAIL POLISH
Use color on the nails as an accent or accessory. A splash of these new nail colors on fingers and toes completes any look and fits any mood.  Shades: Pink Valentine and Valentine Red.

I picked myself up the ‘Valentine Red’ nail polish and ‘Pretty In Pink’ lip gloss – soooo pretty!!

If you haven’t seen this über cool collection yet, head in to your local Bobbi Brown stockist and check it out. (if you are based in Auckland, I recommend the Bobbi Brown store in Britomart).

MAC – Hit The Pavement

 

Last night MAC Pro threw another one of it’s notoriously kick-ass events in the über cool space of Britomart’s Australis House.

Street art, street style food stations, street beats and hella strong margaritas, all made for an awesome evening of beauty, networking, catching up with friends and absorbing the awe-inspiring talent of the MAC crew.

The MAC team never cease to amaze me and the MAC ‘Hit The Pavement’ event was no exception. Amber D and her talented team of makeup artists showcased their skills with live installations dispersed throughout Australis House. Body painted living statues, head to toe in makeup inspired by street performers & street art from around the world.

Check out a few shots from the event:

PS:  I had to mention this….. for anyone wanting to know how to perfect wearing the most unforgiving of fabrics, in the form of a satin/silk, floor length slip dress (no, don’t ask me!!) – ask Tatum Savage of MAC.  Looking positively glowing (did I mention Tatum is VERY pregnant) – she looked absolutely flawless.  For us mere mortals – we know all to well that pulling off a fairly form-fitting, floor length silk slip dress is no small feat, yet Tatum effortlessly nailed it!

The Secret To Curling Your Lashes!

Since stumbling across this gem of a beauty tip on thebeautydepartment.com, I’ve officially changed my beauty routine! It’s my new secret weapon for amazing looking lashes. (well, not so secret now). No doubt you’ve been shown several ways to curl your lashes, but this is a game changer!! It’s all about pinching your lashes with the curler inverted, it’s that simple! All you need is a lash curler, mascara; and to follow these steps:

1. Insert your lashes into the opened curler and line it up right at your lash-line, but not too close that you pinch the skin.

2. Pinch at the lash-line; mostly to grab hold, not to make a crimp.

3. With that holding, rotate your wrist so that your thumb stays mostly in the same place and acts as the pivot point while your pinkie finger goes from being around your chin area all the way up towards your forehead.

4. Now that the curler is inverted, give your lashes a proper upside-down pinch for about 5 seconds. Really squeeze it as tightly as you can (without pulling of course).

5. Rotate your hand back to the starting position and carefully open the curler, then slide it away from your lashes.

6. Add a coat of mascara and voila!

Wishing you all luscious lashes
