*I am lucky enough to know people overseas that send me things. I also have friends and family that travel, so I harrass them make sure they bring me back goodies.

I’ve been holding out on you guys. I’ve been hoarding this little gem for quite a while now and am glad to say that these L’Oreal Color Infaillible eyeshadows finally made it over here.

Now, before you guys start thinking that I don’t check my spelling in the title, let me remind you that this is “foreign” beauty – as in this one came to me from France. (*of course, that didn’t stop me from spelling it the Americanized “infallible” everywhere else before I caught the difference on the lid.)

The texture is a cross between a cream and a pigment, with the color pay-off of a pigment, especially when used over a primer.

These are available in a range of colors at your local mass market stores of choice for around $8USD.

Have any of you already grabbed one (or more) of these?

Recently Three Custom Color and Mario Badescu came together to celebrate several of their products. Three Custom proudly debuted their collaboration with young designer Miles Ehan, a color trio called “The Sweetest Thing” – which contains a light colored eyeshadow, a pink cotton candy flavored lipgloss and a red cheek & lipstain.
Mario Badescu was showcasing their “sweet” skincare products – Orange Cleansing Soap, Honey Moisturizer and Almond Honey Non-Abrasive Face Scrub.

Since I wasn’t in NYC the night of the debut, I was lucky enough to attend virtually and make this video about the products. Check it out! (*Yep, I said Regime and not Regimen. No, I don’t mean I have a military unit doing my daily skincare, I just messed up my words. Oops!) icon smile The Sweetest Thing for Valentines Day!

Going Bollywood with MAC’s "Mickey Contractor"

MAC’s lastest collection is a collaboration with Bollywood makeup artist, and MAC’s Director of Makeup Artistry for India, Mickey Contractor. This collection is really geared towards the darker & more olive complextions than, say, the “Cham Pale” collection.

My favorite things from this collection have definitely got to be the Fluidlines – “Ivy” – a Bright Green and “Siahi” – a Deep Turquoise Blue. These colors are good for any skintone & for anyone comfortable enough to wear such bright colored eyeliners. Of course, with most of the emphasis on the bright, colorful eyes this collection has several nudeish lippies – my fav being “Mehr” – a dirty blue pink, which went on quite matte, but didn’t feel drying.

Have you got the more olive-hued skin that this collection is great for? Or are you one to favor bright colors on your eyes no matter what? Let me know what, if anything, you are going to pick up from this collection, as I’m certain I’m not the only one who likes bright colors for eyeliner.

Shake your tailfeathers – MAC "Peacocky"

MAC has just released a new collection inspired by the extreme beauty of the lovely peacock, called “Peacocky” (*yes, not so creative with the name, right?). While it may be considered ‘small’ by only having two products – a new lipstick/lipgloss combo called “Kissable Lipcolour”and new shadows called “Mega Metal Shadow” – the number of colors in each of them is big and varied – there are 12 lippies and 15 shadows.

I gotta say I like the feel of the lipcolours, but I was more drawn to the shadows. I like the kind of irridescent quality they have, and they feel very silky, imo.

What do you think about the colors? Anything pop out to you? Lemme know what, if anything you pick up – I wanna know if any of you are adventureous enough to get the blue lippie & make it work!
