M·A·C Semi Precious Photos.

It was about a month ago that I told you about M·A·C's summer collection, SEMI PRECIOUS.  The collection is much more extensive than I first realized. The metallic based mineralizeshades are absolutely stunning. Deep and rich blues and green to bronzes and golds.  The Mineral Skinfinishes are all beautiful, as are the Mineralize Blushes.

If you need to be reminded of the entire collection, be sure to look back at the original M·A·C SEMI PRECIOUS post.



The entire M·A·C SEMI PRECIOUS collection is for sale now at all MAC locations and online at maccosmetics.com.

Be sure to see all the Glitter and Ice in the MAC Holiday 2011 collection.

Beautiful Color and Beautiful Lips with COVERGIRL LipPerfection.

Have you ever thought about how your lipcolor makes you feel? Like the cherry on top of the sundae, lipstick is the final finishing touch to the look. More often than not, I match my lipstick to my mood or the mood I want to evoke, rather than the whole look. When I need to make a statement, I wear a red lipstick. Red makes me feel more alive, powerful, a bit sexy. A pretty pastel pink makes me feel pretty, in a subtle way. Rocking a deep berry color makes me feel a bit hard, almost edgy.

Equally important as to how my lipstick makes me feel, is how the lipstick makes my lips feel. I know what lipstick brands work and which don't work for me. Have you ever started to wear a new brand of lipstick only to find your lips all dried out after a few applications? It is so disappointing.

I need a brand that offers the best of both worlds. I need the beautiful colors to suit my many moods, and I need my lips to stay in perfect condition. The brand I trust is COVERGIRL LipPerfection Lipcolor to make this happen.

With 44 shades to choose from and it's formula that actually improves the lips condition in just 7 days, this is a lipstick you need to know about and give a try if you have not yet.

COVERGIRL LipPerfection is a source of therapy to actually improve lip condition with its exclusive Silk Therapy Moisturizing Complex. This complex provides both smooth gorgeous color and sustained levels of moisture to actually improve lip condition in a week.

Take a look at the ingredients which work in combination to help improve lip condition:

Emollient - Olive oil derived to provide active moisturization.
White Tea - Leveraged from Olay, this is a very popular and proven anti-aging ingredient.
Butters Complex - A combination of shea, avocado and aloe provides for an overall extraordinary lip experience.
Silk Protein - This is derived from pure silk to help soften lips.

As I mentioned LipPerfection is available in 44 lip transforming shades. Designed by the one and only makeup artist extraordinaire, Pat McGrath who is also the COVERGIRL Global Creative Design Director, they are stunning. The coordinated colors are grouped into four shade families.
