Hones-tly it brightens my day!


Amist all the craziness that ensued last week with the fires, I managed to work in some retail therapy. I walked into Bath and Body Works/ White Barn and walked out with a bag equivalent to lifting weights.
One of the heaviest items happens to be the best smelling- Sarah Ferguson's Hones-ty candle. Its heavenly, Rose and Ginger- I never would have thought I would love something that smelled so frou-frou.
You can find it on www.bathandbodyworks.com under candles.

MAC's Of Beauty collection will bring something different to the vanity next month. Considering everyone is gearing up for their holiday goodies, Of Beauty will showcase highlighters ( Studio Lights) and Powders ( Beauty Powders) created to enhance our features.
Studio Lights were also featured in the Catherine Denueve Icon collection last year and Beauty powders have been popping up in collections since 2005. Here is the rundown courtesy of Specktra.net

I hope they make something comparable to YSL's Touche éclat #4 because its my favorite. Which brings me to ponder- Since YSL is doing so well with this product, is MAC jumping on the bandwagon? And if so, look at Givenchy and Dior who also make higlighter pens, is MAC targeting Gen X, Y and Me to enhance instead of cover..

McQueen Lemming- Black Karat


First , I would like to send thoughts and prayers to all of those in the effected areas of the fires here in San Diego. Hopefully everything will be contained soon.

On Friday, I mosied over to the MAC counter and checked out McQueen. I was a bit concerned because I didn't think the collection would correspond with my skin tone. I was wrong. Having purchased Archtype l/s and Haunting eyeshadow on MAC's website. I wasn't sure what to expect. I am excited I took a chance.

At the counter, I encountered Black Karat- described as Black with Gold pearl. Its beautiful and creates a unique Smokey Eye. How unique? Its wearable and can be layered with the eyeshadows that accompany the collection.
