Heatherette Eye Shadow Trio 1.

Looking online simply does not do many of the Heatherette shades justice. In person the Heatherette for MAC Collection has exceeded my expectations. From the hot hot-pink to the metallic fuchsia along with the holographic foil decoration of the packaging, to the beautiful shades inside the palettes, compacts and tubes.

My favorite piece of the collection is the Eye Shadow Trio 1.

The shades in this palette:
Hoppin’ Clean Pastel Peach (frost)
Mood Ring Pastel Mint Green (veluxe pearl)
Cloudburst True Black with Subtle Green Pearl (velvet)

When looking at the photo of this  trio on MAC, I thought it was too bright. But I was wrong. The shades are simply gorgeous and appear much softer in real light. 

 

I am using the peachy/pink shade all over my brow bone and eye lid with the teal shade (really, it is much more of a teal than a mint green) on  the outer two-thirds of my lid. I then take my MAC 211 Brush and use the darkest black shade that has sparkles of the teal shade in it, as an upper and lower liner. It is beautiful. The sparkle is subtle, but it softens the black and brings the teal shade out more.

The Heatherette Trio's (which are back in stock over at maccosmetics.com) retail for $32.50. And if you are a gal that loves the pink and lilac shades, then you will want to check out the other eye palette, Trio 2. 

Heatherette for MAC is Here!

If you are at all interested in the Heatherette for MAC Collection, run to your nearest MAC counter as soon as possible. Most of it is already sold out online. How could this be? This collection is obviously, very limited edition and highly needed by us MAC addicts.

My lovely friend Christina from eBeautyDaily went to the secret preview party back in February with the Heatherette boys. You really need to check out her experience to learn all about the collection, the inspiration, and a bit about how star struck she was to meet Traver Rains and Richie Rich.

Whether you are a good girl or a bad girl, Heatherette is tailored just for you. 

Let me know what you are able to get your hands on!

CHANEL Summer 2008 Makeup Collection.

April cannot get here soon enough. Making me long for warmer days and a little bit of a golden glow (fake), are the Summer collections being announced. And this one is another beauty.

The CHANEL Summer 2008 Summer Collection is a definite must-have for the season. 

 

The heat-baked sands, golden browns, and beautiful sunset bronzes have me heading off somewhere tropical.

FACE: For a summer face based on the ultimate bronze, CHANEL offers the new SOLEIL TAN DE CHANEL Moisturizing Bronzing Powder in five versatile shades, plus BRONZE UNIVERSEL DE CHANEL Sun Illuminator.

EYES: Complement this sun-kissed skin tone with OMBRE ESSENTIELLE Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Tigre (bronze), Nomade (pink rose), Khaki (khaki green), and Safari (stone brown); amp up the shine with LUMIÈRES FACETTES Iridescent Effects Eyes in Oasis, a quad containing khaki, bronze, coral, and pink shimmer, or OMBRE D’EAU Fluid Iridescent Eyeshadow in Atoll (golden sand). For long-lasting definition, STYLO YEUX WATERPROOF Long-Lasting Eyeliner comes in an exotic new shade, Vert Bronze (green bronze), while INIMITABLE WATERPROOF Mascara Multi-Dimensionnel is now available in Emeraude, a shimmering, jade-green.

LIPS: For warm-weather lips, ROUGE HYDRABASE Creme Lipstick arrives in Leopard (golden coral) and Rose Flamingo (a flamingo pink); ROUGE ALLURE Luminous Satin Lip Colour keeps things soft with Naïve (pinkish nude) and Curious (nude brown). AQUALUMIÈRE Sheer Colour Lipshine SPF15 adds a sheer shot of colour in Zanzibar (soft peach) and Mauritius (bronzed coral).

NAILS: For a final touch, LE VERNIS Nail Colour arrives in Antilope, a frosted golden-brown, and Flamingo, a bright tropical pink.

Look for this beautiful collection next month at your favorite CHANEL counter, specialty store or online, of course, at chanel.com.
