The Superstar Collection from LORAC.

If this collection is not worthy of swooning over, then I don't know what is. This Superstar Collection from LORAC has everything you need to pack up and get your glam on.

The colors are so perfect for Summer to Fall transition.  In this collection are the following: a Black Mascara, Multiple Rush in Love Rush, two Lipsticks in Charity and Daisy, a Lip/Cheek It Kit in Peachy Keen, a Eye It Kit in Love & Money, a Lip/Cheek It Kit in Sugar 'N Spice, Portable Paints Bronzed in Tawny and Sandy, my favorite Lip Polishes, there are three of them in Iced Coffee, Groovy Fruit, and Revel, and finally, my new must-have glam eye product, which is a Eye Shadow/Liner pencil in Midnight Sparkle.



This beautiful eye pencil is perfect to smoke up a dark black liner and add that glam sparkle to the eye. It is also simple to lightly swipe over the eyelid for a gorgeous gray glow.

LORAC Superstar Collection is a $253 value, selling for $125 at Sephora.com.


So Fun! Pink Beauty.

From Canada comes a fun and flirty, playful brand called Pink Beauty. Was this line made for me or what with all of the beautiful pink packaging? L-o-v-e it!!!

These cute cosmetics are top notch too. The line-up includes products for lips, cheeks and eyes.

The Cream Radiance Rouge is really making jump on the cream blush bandwagon. I am honestly so old school and love my powder blushes, but the sheerness of these shades are gorgeous over my faux-tan and tinted moisturizer. Allure is a beautiful pale pink that can easily be worn by anyone. It is sheer, like I said, but build-able if you need it to be.



The other stand-outs in the line are the glosses. There are two to choose from: Glamour Glaze Lip Gloss and Lip Scintillate Lip Gloss. Glamour Glaze boasts some color with it's high shine. This one can be worn alone. If you want a barely there look or want to top a lipstick, then Scintillate is your better choice.

To learn more about Pink Beauty, check out their website at PinkBeautyCosmetics.com. Right now, you can only order them through Makeup.com if you are in the United States. I am hoping that will change really soon.


MAC Cult of Cherry!

If deep and dark reds, browns and wines are your makeup choice, then this collection is for you.

MAC's Cult of Cherry is luscious, dramatic, undeniably eroticized. Ripened lips, Spiced Hot Chocolate eyes or Illegal Purple nails, combine to seduce with a sweet-and-shock, way-to-go dark. Separates the bitter from the sweet. This drama just gets more delicious.


Shocking - yes. Especially in that photo from MAC, which in my opinion borders on goth. But this collection is far from it.

I must say that the Tempting Quad is gorgeous. That unexpected pop of lime green is subtle, especially when you are a bit light handed at shadow application as I am. And the glosses - there is not a bad one in the bunch. I am not ready for the dark lip again. I was never into it that much, and I am very glad that there are many other options. 

Cult of Cherry is a Fall Collection, so you will have to wait a few weeks before it is on counter, but it will be in September - so plan for it now!
