MAC Pret-a-Papier Summer 2010

Just when you thought Spring was finally starting, MAC springs Summer on you in a very neutral way.

MAC Pret-a-Papier
U.S. Launch Date: April 22, 2010



Craft Paper Couture – an inspired idea cut like a pattern and whipped up into a frisky little “funny face” frock. Then, strip it back to its essence for Summer 2010 for a Pret-a-Papier colour collection. It was a Project Runway challenge of sorts, with paper as the source, the instigator of ideas, the beginning of something simply, basically beautiful. Lipstick, LipGlass, Eye Shadow, Paint Pot, Chromographic Pencil, Studio Fix Lash, Impeccable Brow Pencil, Sheertone and Mineralize Blushes, and Nail Lacquer in a seamless spectrum of parchment-to-vellum beiges, with an occasional, clever colour spill, coral among the most au courant.

Me Likey

I had to have them.

That's 4.5 inches of total black patent leather goodness.


The best part about this shoe? It has a fabric cuff at the top! That makes this
shoe by MICHAEL Michael Kor's so comfy!


Michael Kor's shoes are known for not only their quality but the way he arches his shoes, reduces fatigue in the feet. Nothing's worse than dancing in shoes that only last an hour. These are the shoes to get you back to your car that you didn't valet that night.

Oh Betsey Johnson, I love you. I couldn't pass you up for $38.

Friday Favorites

Ms. Gagaloo dropped her latest music video "Telephone" and it is EPIC! The fashion, the makeup, oh my! Oh and it's over 9 minutes long...



I also recently discovered my new addiction, Mrs. Lilien's Styling House . I love every look she puts together! She should put a look together for me ;-)


Lastly, here's my favorite easy to do classic smokey eye tutorial by Temptalia. It's from 2007 but so 2010. Love her and her blog!
