M·A·C Colourizations Eye Shadow Duo Photos.

If you haven't had a chance to check out the MAC Colourizations Eye Shadow Duos yet, get them while they are hot. 

Like I said in my original post about the collection, I most often use two or three eye shadow shades in a look.  In the summer months though, I definitely keep it more simple and use probably two shades the most, and that is why I am loving these duos - and one of many reasons why you will love them too. I wonder what color combinations will be featured in this years MAC Holiday 2011 collection?

I was lucky enough to receive some of the Double Feature Duos, and have them front and center for you to look at too.

The Colourizations collection launched at Nordstrom July 29th, and is now available at all M·A·C locations and online at maccosmetics.com.

Introducing FLIRT! Big Flirt Sheer and Shiny Lipgloss.

If you remember back to very early this year and the MAC Wonder Woman Collection, the lipglosses were HUGE. I loved the extra large size.  Not only was the tube larger to hold more gloss, the doe foot applicator was larger, making it the perfect size for lips.  This new gloss from FLIRT! called Big Flirt, is basically the same size - and I am loving it.

Big Flirt Sheer and Shiny Lipgloss feature the same larger than life applicator, but also a range of stunning pop shades that provide a glossy, gorgeous finish to your lips in just one stroke.  Embracing the trend of iconic style of the early 1960s where everything was big and sexy, these glosses are the brands flirtiest, shiniest and most bold lipgloss yet.

I love how this gloss smoothes on lips in just one stroke, creating a shiny, glossy finish that lasts. Jojoba Oil enhances the application and helps to soften and condition lips. I wear it alone to impart asubtle, sexy color or I sometimes layer it over my favorite lipstick for a more dramatic, bold look.

Eight stand-out-in-the-crowd shades will help you embrace your inner flirt! These eye-popping trend shades are so fabulously fun. FLIRT! even asked their Facebook and Twitter followers to help name them!
