MAC Holiday Collection 2008 - "Red" She Said.

This is the "Red" She Said Holiday Collection from MAC.

I am loving how MAC took their popular mineralize shadows and built an entire collection around them. If you haven't tried them yet, you really need to. And the fact that you are getting three shades in the palette is amazing - the addition of the metallic shadow in the center is pure genius! The limited edition Dazzleglass and Beauty Powder Blush (back for this collection only) are a welcome addition to the collection as well.

Prescriptives is AGLOW This Holiday Season.

I don't know why I am surprised, but Prescriptives has been bringing "it" to all of their collections as of late. I mean, I have become quite addicted to their quads. And liners. And glosses. And, well, I could go on. Suffice it to say, this brand is on the top of my list as far as brand loyalty goes. Just look at this Holiday collection, and you will understand why I am loving it so much.
Prescriptives truly is AGLOW for the Holiday season this year. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! I think I will be picking up every piece, as each one is seemingly made for me. Especially the highlighter - I love highlighting beads!

NOC-Out Cover-Up Compact.

If you are anything like me, you use more than one concealer on a regular basis. Covering dark spots, under eye circles, while trying to lighten and brighten, needs more than one shade. That is what makes this compact perfect. It is from Redpoint Anti-Aging Cosmetics, and this is their NOC-Out Cover-Up Compact.

You will notice three different shades in the compact. And each shade has a different texture, as each one is designed to cover and treat different areas of the face. The three shades and what they are designed to do:

1. The Yellow color is designed to cover up red areas. Think blemishes, redness around the nose or on the eyelids, rosacea. Just a bit of this creamy formula blended out with your fingertip, conceals the redness.
2. The Salmon color is formulated to disquise age spots, sun spots, hyperpigmentation, freckles, etc. I like to use a concealer brush to apply this color and blend over and around any dark spot to make it appear as though it was never there.
3. The Beige color is the color most typically found in concealers, as this one is made to cover up under-eye circles. Not only does this conceal the dark circles, it is thick enough to stay in place under the eye without caking.

As a bonus feature of this product, each cream is infused with ingredients to treat the specific problem it is covering.

NOC-Out Cover-Up Compact is available online at Redpoint Beauty for $38. But... I need to tell you that this compact, in it's full size, is included in the first BeautyFix kit.
