The MAC Dazzleglass Creme Collection.

/

In my vast collection of lipgloss, there are more from MAC Cosmetics than any other brand. It is no wonder why. Their glosses are the best. In different formulation, with that same great vanilla flavor, non sticky gloss, full range of colors. One of my most favorite of late come from the MAC Dazzleglass range.

MAC has expanded, yet again, on this wonderful collection as they introduce their newest, DazzleglassCreme.

Ultra-luxurious, no sticky smack or drag, Aloe and Vitamin E enriched, keeps lips lightweight but strong-willed, for long-lustre, ultimate luminosity. Wear it alone for medium-sheer, dewy coverage…. For dazzle with absolute comfort, it’s better than brilliant. And the accompanying applicator brush is a dream.

These are the most soft out of all the Dazzleglass glosses. The glitter is not as heavy in this formula, but do not let that fool you. They are suspended in the formula in such a way that the high wattage dazzle glow you want is there.

There are currently 9 Dazzleglass Cremes available:

Sublime Shine Light coral brown with gold pearl
Soft Dazzle Mid-tone peach pink with gold pearl
Perfectly Unordinary Bright yellow pink with gold pearl
My Favourite Pink Light blue pink with pearl
Do It Up Bright blue pink with pearl
Luscious Spark Light orange with gold pearl
Totally Fab Bright yellow red with pearl
Creme Allure Bright yellow plum with pearl
Amorous Deep brown red with pearl

Each Dazzleglass Creme sells for $18, and they are available right now wherever MAC Cosmetics is sold, as well as online at MACCosmetics.com.

A Fresh & Flawless Face with Tarte.

My sister called me in a panic last weekend. "I am out of foundation". Well, she knew who to call. She soon came over to go through a few of my makeup drawers, in which one is full of foundation. She wanted a liquid foundation as she felt her skin was becoming overly dry with her normal summertime mineral powders. So, liquid it was.

Finding the perfect finish and the perfect shade when I am sent varying shades of color, is not as easy as it sounds. First, we needed to find a suitable shade. We did the trick of going to a large window with lot's of natural light and swatch many foundations on her jaw line. A few of the shades disappeared into her skin, and that is how I know we hit pay dirt in the shade area. Now, we needed to remove all of the swatches and we started applying two foundations at a time, one to the left side and one to the right side of her face. We only had four foundations, so it did not take that long. One foundation stood out in a big way, and when we decided on it and applied it to her entier face, we were both in awe.

What was this foundation? The one giving off the most beautiful, semi-matte yet luminous finish? Making Cindi's face appear ten years younger than it is?
