Beauty Buzz | Haute Pink Lips

I love this look on Kim Kardashian because it's basically the look I have been wearing for years. I knew that one day haute pink lips would be trendy. In any case I get my perfect pink pout with Dior lipstick in 475 topped off with Dior kiss lipgloss in Hawaii Coco. Troy Jensen used Nars products for Kim's look, you can view his breakdown of this look on his blog here. Dare to try haute pink lips this season?

Beauty Buzz | Latest Offerings From Tarte

Tarte is by far one of the best beauty brands out there. I adore tarte for many reasons including the silky smooth texture of their products, the vibrant hip colors and also the fabulous staying power. Here are our new favorite products for the summer.Tarte Lip Couture t5 super fruit™ infused lipstick set
This is a fabulous lipstick kit that allows you to pair the perfect pout for every makeup look you choose to do. The kit comes with a nude lip liner and four fabulous shades. My favorite shade is called Eden a beautiful beige that completes my smokey eye look. I also find the box they come in to be ultra luxe. After the lipsticks finish use it to keep your jewelry during your next trip to Cannes.
A great palette that offers six vibrant eyeshadows, three vivacious t5™ infused lipglosses and a bamboo eyeshadow brush. My favorite part of this palette has to be the eyeshadows. They are finely milled and go on amazingly smooth. I use the gold shadow almost daily it's just so gorgeous paired with black liner and Dior Show mascara.

Hello Kitty For MAC

Whenever I see my Hello Kitty toaster or my Hello Kitty jewelry or even my Hello Kitty Visa I get a sense of girly delight which I can't explain. So you can understand my excitement when I heard about the Hello Kitty collaboration with MAC a while ago on WWD. I've just got my hands on the collection myself, and I think it's adorable. Now mind you my makeup look has always been filled with bubblegum pinks and vivid blues so this collection would have been perfect for me when I was fifteen but now I enjoy a more polished look . Yet I've chosen some products to feature below which can be incorporated into any makeup bag seamlessly. Adding a little Kitty Power never hurt.

I was surprised by how well these glitter-liner's worked. I'm used to watery glitter-liners that barely deposit any glitter but the Hello Kitty for MAC glitter-liners are fantastic and a definite must have for any party look. I'dc recommend lining the lower lash line with these liners rather than the top for more visability. My favorite colors are as featured, Her Glitz (gold) and Kitty Power (pink).


I love the lipstick shade, Most Popular, and I plan to stock up on it because it is THE perfect berry color which looks amazing on an olive complextion. I like to first prime my lips with Laura Geller Lip Spackle and then line with with MAC lip liner in "Subculture" a nude that covers all pigmentation on lips and then top it off with the Hello Kitty for MAC lipstick and sometimes a bit of Vincent Longo gloss to add an extra kick.

The reign of the nude lip is finally over and I couldn't be happier. I personally have been experementing with different lip colors especially red. Pigmented lipsticks in a rich shade of red will instantly elevate your look. (Photo by Michael Buckner/Getty Images North America)

Passage To India Via Givenchy Beauté SS09

I am anxiously awaiting the Givenchy SS09 India collection which features the ultimate color combo for the season, pink and orange. These two colors look superb on tanned skin and will make you look radiant, fresh and most of all au courant. Here are some images of the products from the collection. I'm mostly intrigued by the gold and silver liquid eye shadows called precious sari eye shadows which will look ridiculously glamorous at night offering lots of shine and shimmer.

Tarte cosmetics

Hip, young and trendy. Three words that describe the Tarte cosmetics line best. The Tarte beauty team and continues to work hard to, "ensure that all of our products are chock-full of healthy, skinvigorating™ benefits, whether it’s nourishing vitamins, paraben-free or soothing natural oils." We recommend Tarte for all skin types and ages. here are some of our favorite products from Tarte.
Tarte Cheek Stain has been a favorite of makeup artists and editors world over. It goes on over or under your foundation, gives you a great glow and smells delicious. It will give you those dewy, rosy cheeks you always wanted.
Tarte vitamin infused lipstick powered by BORBA nutraceuticals is my new favorite lipstick hands down. I was surprised at how rich the colors were and how smoothly they went on. The best part is, these lipsticks are packed with exotic ingredients like acai, lychee and green tea extracts to nourish, hydrate and conditions your lips.


If you have small lids I suggest you run to your nearest Sephora and pick up Emphaseyes high definition eye pencils in all four shades. It's really a great way to define your eyes without being obvious. If you have brown eyes try the emerald green shade to make your eyes pop.
