Get this NOW: LORAC The Stylist Palette on HauteLook for $15.

Yesterday was the official kick off to Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week. All the stylistas are out and about in NYC trying to get a look at the hottest designs.

You know, I am all about the beauty backstage at the shows, and so is LORAC. They created a brand new eyeshadow palette just in time for Fashion Week called The Stylist Palette. This palette is exclusively available on HauteLook beginning today at 11:00 AM EST for just... are you ready... this beauty is just $15.00! This value cannot be beat, as it would normally retail for $100.

The Stylist Palette is housed in a super chic palette in a houndstooth print. Inside the palette are 8 eyeshadows in beautiful fall shades, along with 2 highlighter shadows. The shadows are all highly pigmented and apply with ease. You can go natural or bold for fall with the variety that is here.

Be ready at 11 AM EST (8AM PST) to log on to HauteLook and buy before it sells out, because it will, and I am betting fast.

Fall 2013: Hourglass Femme Nude Lip Stylo.

I have noticed a lot of rich bold lip shades for this fall and those are not me. I'm a fan of nude or more natural lips and probably will be forever. That's why these new Hourglass Femme Nude Lip Stylos were made for me.

The Lip Stylo is actually a full coverage, super creamy, very pigmented lip crayon. The crayon is no ordinary crayon. It is rich in pigments and enriched with Vitamin E for extra nourishment. It is packaged in a sleek, weighted and retractable crayon that allows for precision lining and defining, that never needs sharpening.

With six shades to choose from, there is a nude for every mood, from pale to deep.

Nude Nº 1 - A pale pink nude, the lightest of the collection.
Nude Nº 2 - A honey beige nude with a warm tint.
Nude Nº 4 - A pink beige nude with a touch of deep rose.
Nude Nº 3 - A medium rose nude with a hint of pink.
Nude Nº 6 - A mauve nude, the deepest nude of the collection.
Nude Nº 5 - A golden peach nude with luminosity.

My favorite is Nude Nº1, which is the pale pink nude. It is like my own shade of lips, but creamier - and better, of course. It glides on easily and looks beautiful on its own with a satin finish or with a little dab of gloss in the center.

Hourglass Femme Nude Lip Stylo sells for $30.00 and is available now at Barneys New York, Bergdorf Goodman, Sephora, Sephora.com and Space NK.

Smoky Extravagant is just that, a new mascara for both bold impact and on point precision. The tapered cone-shaped brush features a precision tip that separates lashes. The rounded base helps to creates extra volume, while adding length and curl, direct from root to tip. My Smoky Extravagant lash look lasts all day with no clumping or flaking. I use two coats to get the look I want.

Smoky Extravagent Mascara comes in the perfect black shade and sells for $24.00. Look for it at Sephora now.
