Tarte - Limited Edition Treasure Chest, Oh My!
This is the newest product to grace the linings of my makeup kit, and I must say, it has surpassed what I even thought it was capable of. Not to mention that whoever sees it thinks I am totally awesome for owning it. The packaging is magnificent and the shades are perfectly arranged in the palette. I must be honest, I only have used one or 2 other products from Tarte, and I will definitely be keeping an eye out on their launches.

"2010 Makeup Winter Trends"
Here is an interview I had with Amy Sciarretto from Beauty News NYC dot com.
Another New York City artist, Samantha Lennon, who works on everything from fashion photo shoots to music videos and films, revealed that winter 2010 trends are "definitely along the lines of avant garde mixed with '80s." She echoed Drummond's sentiment, that green will be a focal point.
Lennon said, "There are smoky eyes in blue and green as well as blushes with purple hues. Eyebrows and lips are accentuated. Of course, there is the flawless clean face which happens to be full coverage matte with matte lips in nudes and reds." A mix of drama and definition, sophistication and subtletly are on tap for the new year.
Lennon also offered her tips to achieving this dramatic look, saying, "Use stick foundation followed by powder for a fuller matte coverage, instead of a liquid one. Since the eye colors are cool --green, blue, and purple--and not all skin tones work well with cool colors, keep in mind there is a tone of every single color out there for everyone. Try highly pigmented matte ones, not bright variations. Finish brows off with a powder or a brow pencil for definition."

Round Nails
Are my new JAM!!! I don't understand how I went almost 6 years every single week getting a manicure without them. There is just something so feminine about it, and I am sure then can make anyone's hands look prettier. Great for long nails, I would not really recommend it to someone with extremely short nails.
