Fall 2013: MAC Indulge.

Fall is full of bold, beautiful makeup and color this year. The new MAC Cosmetics Indulge Collection is just that. It has me indulging in some new fall faves.

"You’re invited to a dinner of supreme decadence, where no taste is too extravagant and no behaviour beyond limits. On the menu: Cremeblend Blush flushes skin with a sensual glow while Eye Shadow smoulders for the ultimate in seduction, intensified by Fluidline in Gilt Gourmet and Deliciously Rich. Haute & Naughty Too Black Lash darkens and lengthens lashes, while Lipstick and Lipglass further intoxicate the senses, as lacquered nails shimmer in jewel tones and molten metallics."

Mascara Monday: MAC In Extreme Dimension 3D Black Lash.

I am addicted to thick, black lush lashes. This new mascara from MAC just does that to mine. Meet MAC In Extreme Dimension 3D Black Lash.

In Extreme Dimension 3D Black Lash features a whipped and very lightweight formula that delivers intense, blacker-than-black pigment. The over sized rubber tipped brush is designed to apply the rich pigments on lashes from root to tip. It adds volume, extends length and even creates and holds a curl. It does all this while it conditions for softness and flexibility.

I like the contoured handle of the wand and it helps to control the brush easier. The brush is the longest I have ever seen on a mascara. It really makes lashes super dark and thick. When wearing all day, I never experienced smudging, clumping or flaking.

MAC In Extreme Dimension 3D Black Lash is available right now at all MAC locations including Nordstrom and online at maccosmetics.com. It retails for $21.00.

NARS Radiant Cream Compact Foundation.

If you are a fan of the NARS complexion products, listen up. They have a beautiful new foundation and this is a good one. Meet NARS Radiant Cream Compact Foundation.

I am already a regular user of NARS Radiant Tinted Moisturizer and NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer. The new Radiant Cream Compact Foundation takes the line in the direction of a more coverage product. It fills the gap in the radiant line. Who doesn't want more radiant skin and to get that with more coverage is like a dream.

The creamy foundation comes in a closeable compact of color that can pop into a larger compact, which is sold separately. It is very creamy looking, and creamy feeling as it is applied to the skin. It is very lightweight though and feels as if I am wearing a very lightweight, breathable liquid foundation offering the heavier coverage I need. I actually like to dampen the sponge and apply the color all over my face and I get a beautiful medium coverage. In areas like my forehead where I am showing a bit of hyperpigmentation, I use the sponge dry and get even more coverage. Using either wet or dry, the foundation sets to a beautiful finish in just seconds.

As I mentioned, the compact refill is closeable and it must stay snapped shut to keep the formula in tact. Even if it is popped into the larger compact, closing after use is vital.

I like that the range is full of 20 shades to match a variety of skintones. I am using Stromboli and that is the same shade that I use in the NARS Sheer Glow Foundation.

The shades from lightest to darkest:

• Siberia - light with neutral balance of pink and yellow undertones
• Mont Blanc - light with pink undertone
• Gobi - for Asian skin, light with yellow undertone
• Deauville - light with neutral balance of pink and yellow undertones
• Fiji - light with yellow undertone
• Ceylan - for Asian skin, light-medium with yellow undertone
• Punjab - medium with golden, peachy undertone
• Vallauris - medium with pink undertone (this is a new shade for NARS)
• Santa Fe - medium with peachy undertone
• Stromboli - medium with olive undertone
• Barcelona - deeper medium with golden, peachy undertone
• Syracuse - medium-dark with brown undertone
• Tahoe - medium-dark with caramel undertone
• Cadiz - medium-dark with caramel and red undertone
• Macao - Medium-dark with deep yellow undertone
• New Guinea - Dark with red undertone
• Trinidad - dark with warm, yellow undertone
• New Orleans - dark with yellow undertone
• Benares - dark with golden undertone
• Khartoum - dark with espresso undertone
