In the Pink - AGAIN!

Clinique has joined in the BCA campaign again this year. For October, they have created In the Pink Colour Surge Butter Shine Lipstick.

To make it even more collectible, In the Pink is featured in an eye-catching pink bamboo-inspired case and matching pink carton. This award winning formula delivers the shine of a gloss with the comfort of a lipstick.

In the Pink lets you have a chance to not only look good - but to do good too.

$10 from every lipstick sold goes to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

In the Pink is available at select Clinique counters nationwide and clinique.com.

A Hot Pink Glow!

The Chairman (woman) of the board and founder of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Evelyn Lauder, has created her own lipgloss for Estee Lauder for their annual BCA campaign. It is an Estee Pure Color Gloss ($20) in "Evelyn Hot Pink".

Oooh - a beautiful popping hot pink! It is a very vibrant shade to illuminate your lips with a dazzling, hot pink glow. Yet it is somewhat soft and sensuous - the kind of color that leaves lips plump-pouty and instantly irresistible.

Don't forget that the best part of the lipgloss is that Estée Lauder will donate $80,000 from the sale of it to her foundation.

An Easy Smokey Eye.

I just love the smokey eye look. It is still so hot right now - and is perfect for any night out on the town.

In the past, you had to pick and choose your own palette so to speak. And sometimes that would be difficult. You might be left wondering if the colors would blend well, in the right places, and ultimately create the smokey eye.

This season it is simple to recreate a smokey eye look with the help of some great smokey eye palettes that are already put together for you. Here are the best ones I found.

Tarte Peep Show. This palette has it all! Included in the palette are an eyeshadow primer to keep it all there, three perfectly coordinated shadows, and eyeliner pencil, and two duo sided HIGH QUALITY brushes to apply it with perfection. It is available in two color palettes, onyx (black/gray) and amber(brown/gold). $37.

DuWop Smoke Palette. This is a dandy duo containing a coordinated creamy eyeliner and powder shadow in one compact. Two brushes are included for easy application. This comes in 4 different color combinations: Black, Navy, Olive, and Plum. $28.

Lola Cosmetics Simply Smokey Eye Kit. Another palette that makes a smokey eye a cinch. This one has 2 cream liners,  3 sparkling highlighters, and 3 accent shadows. A double sided brush is included as well. Lola makes it real easy to create a variety of smokey eye looks with these multitude of shades. $44.

Chanel Coromandels de Chanel. For a luxurious smokey eye (we won't know the difference, but if it makes you feel better than go for it), Chanel has a beautiful compact featuring 3 shimmer infused bronzed and blackened shades. They can be used wet or dry to turn up the intensity. $60
