Not Your Boyfriend’s Shaving Brush

This is a very pink meets pale pink collection, and very cherry blossom and I can see this collection wearing beautifully for paler skin types. As for darker (or recently tanned) skins, I would …

This is truly one of the best collections I’ve seen that is Makeup for Dummies worthy. The Bobbi Brown Color Strips Collection launches in time for Spring 2010, and each strip has hand-picked shades that complement each other beautifully for eyes, lips and cheeks.

There are three color palettes in the Color Strips variety: Bonfire, Orchid and Aquamarine and they retail for $60 each.

What I love about Bobbi Brown is that she truly wants to make makeup a universal language without the need for a Rosetta Stone. These Color Strips …

Sun-kissed cheeks and bronzed skin sound like a slice of heaven and we are swooning over the shimmery burnt siennas, mochas and coral tones of Bobbi Brown’s latest Spring 2010 Cabana Corals collection.

We can almost hear the roar of the  ocean water, feel the sharp stinging salt spray on our skin and see the smooth shells on the shore.
The inspiration behind the Cabana Corals collection is color – naturellement. Every woman worries that even though she worships color, it will look too bright or chalky on her skin.
The new Pink …

We are smitten over Zoya’s new Reverie collection, which houses a polish inspired by my lovely friend, Adina, of Krasey Beauty.

The Reverie Spring 2010 collection sampler has six lovely and swirly shimmer colors that remind me of gorgeous saris from India with their two toned pearlescence.
Here are three of my favorite swatches from the collection:

The “Adina” color is aubergine finished with a metallic oil slick sheen that just makes you want to be a fairy in Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream when you wear it.

Zoya’s pink nails in Happi are precisely …

Move over Rose Byrne. There’s a new rose in town and it’s called Lancome’s O My Rose Collection, which is bursting with peach-tones for the cheeks, a deeper coral/peach for the lips and a mix between teal and slate blue smoky eyeshadow for the eyes.

The collection is from Aaron de Mey, with the key product being the Pop N’ Cheeks in Coral Flirt, which is a peach blush shade that makeup artist Daniel Martin used at the Chris Benz show.The Color Design Limited Edition Sensational Effects Eye Shadow Quad retails …

It’s all about the lips, face and cheeks in Guerlain’s Spring 2010 offering.
Our favorite products of the collection are the blush and eyeshadow palettes that are inspired by beautiful East Asian umbrellas:

Guerlain Blush Eclat

Guerlain Eyeshadow Palette

The limited edition blush palette features an Asian favorite: cherry blossom color! The eye shadow palette also features a more pastel version of the same pattern. These two palettes remind us of several traditional Japanese artwork featuring women with parasols under cherry blossoms:

There are two lines of Guerlain lipsticks offered this season:

My father always referred to my sister and me as “heartbreakers and soul-takers.” He may have been biased. Still, when I stumbled across Smashbox’s Spring 2010 Heartbreaker Collection, I couldn’t help but smile. Dear old Dad only saw our good points, much in the same way that this collection brims with sugary optimism.

At the center of this collection is the buoyant new fragrance, aptly named Heartbreaker ($22 at sephora.com.) Its notes of Blue Violet, Gardenia, Precious Musk, and first and foremost, Vanilla, blend together in a …

What the Collection Includes
New Extra Eye Repair Cream

This eye cream is full of peptides, natural plant oils and humectants. These target wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness. Peptides are a good thing: since skin is made up of a substantial amoung of collagen, peptides are good proteins that are active molecules and they make wrinkles disappear by stimulating skin to produce more collagen.
