MAC and it's Minerals.

/

On a search for a new foundation, I was thrilled to learn of MAC's new Mineralize SatinFinish and Mineralize Skinfinish products. It just launched this week, and I ran out to snatch up one of each right away.

Upon first looking at the bottle of the Satinfinish, I loved the nifty pump - that slid to keep it open or closed,  which is just great. Closing the bottle by moving the pump to the right after each use, certainly extends the shelf-life - a major complaint I have with liquid foundations. I pumped out two squirts, but ultimately needed three to apply it for a nice even coverage to my face. I liked using a simple cosmetic wedge sponge to spread it out, and touched up with a foundation brush around my nose, lips, and eyes. The coverage was plenty for me, and as I played with it, I learned that it is definitely build able if you need more coverag all over, or just here and there.

Lancôme’s Pout-à-Porter in Proenza Pink.

/

Attention Lancôme devotees! The waiting list for their newest Lancôme’s Pout-à-Porter lipstick shade in Proenza Pink is now open.

ProenzaPack.jpgCall any of the Lancome boutiques or the Lancome counters at Bergdorf Goodman or your local Neiman Marcus to get on a waiting list now.

Behnaz, the original shade in the Pout-à-Porter series, was produced in an ultra-limited-edition quantity and sold only at the four Lancôme boutiques in the U.S. The Behnaz shade, a universally flattering red, sold out via waiting list even before it hit counters and was spotted on eBay selling for $103.50 (it retailed for $25.00).

To ensure that all the Proenza Pink fans are able to get their hands on the shade, it has been produced in a greater quantity than Behnaz (yet still limited edition!).
