Your First Look: M·A·C's RUSH METAL.

Rush to the M·A·C counter today. Rush Metal just debuted, and you are going to want to check these shimmery metallic hues.

 

I love this for the ultimate summer bronze look.  In the picture I paired the pigment in Rushmetal, and the lipstick in Frenzy, along with the essential eye shader brush 239. I can't wait to have more time to play.

The Rush Metal collection includes four lipsticks and eight pigments.
Lipstick $14.00
Thrills - Rosy copper with gold pearl
Frenzy - Soft muted pinky-peach beige with golden shimmer
Soft Lust - Tan with white pearl

Oh, how I love using pigment. They are so fun to play with. I love to make my own lipglass out of them with the clear lipglass. The possibilities of using pigments are really endless. You just can't be afraid to play with them, and use your imagination.  Shadow, liner, highlighter, gloss, on your nails, in your hair. And these colors do not disappoint.

Rush Metal is available on M·A·C counters and online now. And stay tuned for information on the new Flashtronic line tomorrow.

Beautiful Makeup Search on NBC's The Today Show.

It is an exciting day for us at Beautiful Makeup Search - we were featured in a beauty segment on NBC's The Today Show. We are so happy and proud of our little baby.

 

The six minute segment was about our nations obsession with beauty products, and how much we spend on them each year. Madeline Johnson, a beauty publicist of more than 20 years, is shown talking about beauty being such a big business. Then the reporter, Janice Lieberman points out that consumers do not shop for beauty products in the same way that they did before. Then they highlighted Beautiful Makeup Search and a few other beauty blogs, including Beauty Addict and Beautynomics that consumers go to before investing in their latest beauty purchases.

A Beautiful Summer Glow!

Though it is not officially the middle of Summer, whenever July 15th rolls around, I feel like it is the middle of the Summer. And it depresses me.

I am so into my self-tanning routine, and I am pretty bronzed and looking good, if I do say so myself. But my cheeks needed a little pick me up for a beautiful Summer glow. Enter two of Lancome's cheek products that have my cheeks really looking pretty cheeky - and glowing beautifully!

Star Bronzer Poudre Sôleil Sun-Kissed Bronzing Powder ($34.50). This powder bronzer is available in five shades. For my cheek look, I am using Bronze Terre.

On top of a sweep of Bronze Terre over my cheeks and nose, I apply Blush Subtil Shimmer Delicate Oil-Free Powder Blush ($28.50) in Coral Heat to the apples of my cheeks.

Coral Heat leaves a soft shimmer to my cheeks and adds the perfect glow. The blush is also available in Shimmer Mocha Havana, if you opt for a deeper cheek shade.
