MAC Sized to Go Collection

I love MAC cosmetics and when I heard that they were coming out with this collection, I love them a little bit more. Conviently packaged for easy travel use and God knows how much I love to travel. Son on my next overseas trip I will be packing light along with my new MAC goodies. 🙂

In travel, small has a virtue that goes beyond size. It’s mandatory! And in your M·A·C skincare formula of choice, small universally approved volumes of 30 ml or less are not only more tote-able, they allow you to carry on all of your favorite regime: Fix +, Cleanse Off Oil, Cleanse Off Oil/Tranquil, Pro Eye Makeup Remover, Demi-Wipes, Studio Moisture Cream, Strobe Cream, Green Gel Cleanser and Oil Control Lotion – everything you need to keep your skin cleansed, refreshed and hydrated. In anything but a round-the-world marathon, small is most likely all you need. These handy sizes also favour local jaunts and can be great for the space-challenged.

MAC SIZED TO GO collection will be available June 9th in the permanent collection, exclusively at MAC stores.

Bright Eyes — 6 Perfect Summer Eyeshadow Looks

Six super-chic eyeshadow trends, scooped straight from the Spring 2011 runways. Summer beauty is all about a carefree, playful mood, so why not experiment a bit? From golden shimmers to super-saturated blues, here are our favorite shadow looks to try.

Green Gleam

 Super-saturated, shimmery green tones were all the rage at the Jason Wu Spring 2011 show. Models sported two-tone washes — colorblock for the eyes, if you will. Use a lighter shade in the inside corner to make eyes appear extra-wide.

 From top to bottom: Palladio Baked Eyeshadow in Green Apple, $7; Lancome Color Design Sensational Effects Eye Shadow in Montage, $17; Sue Devitt Hydrating Marine Minerals Destination Eye Palette in Green Isle, $38

Electric Avenue

A fresh take on classic blue, spotted backstage at Rochas Spring 2011. This vivid hue looks especially charming with a tan — sweep bronzer across cheeks to accentuate cheekbones and balance the intensity of the shadow.

 From top to bottom: By Terry Powder Eyeshadow in Midnight, $40; Sephora Colorful Mono Eyeshadow in My Favorite Jeans $12, MAC Eyeshadow in Electric Eel, $15

White Wash

Prabal Gurung sent models down his Spring 2011 runway in this matte, ethereal shade. To keep the look dreamy and avoid looking washed-out, be sure to accentuate your brows. A shimmery white shadow brushed on the tops of cheekbones also helps adds dimension.

 From top to bottom: Topshop Cream Eyeshadow in Snowstorm, $10; Colorscience Pro Loose Mineral Eyeshadow in Matte White, $19; Models Own Eyeshadow in Pearl White, $8

Gold Dust Woman

Anna Sui’s Spring 2011 models sported sparkly gold eyes for an endless Summer vibe.  Look for gold shades with tiny glittery specks, and be sure to pair with apricot blushes and bronzers for the perfect glow.

 From top to bottom: Dior 1 Couleur Eyeshadow in Gold Touch, $29; Bobbi Brown Shimmer Wash in Champange, $20; Bare Escentuals Bareminerals Glimmer in True Gold, $13

Blue Steel

Models sported this hybrid grey-blue hue at the L’Wren Scott Spring 2011 show. To make eyes really pop, pair this color with lots of black mascara  . . . but be sure to keep the rest of your look neutral — lips look best when nearly nude, and skip the blush.

 From top to bottom: Elizabeth Arden Intrigue Eyeshadow Duo in Blue Smoke, $25; Laura Geller Variagated Baked Eyeshadow in Blue Icing, $24; Dr.Hauschka Skin Care Eyeshadow Solo Eye Color in Smokey Blue, $20

Pink Eyes

Not for the faint of heart. Nina Ricci’s Spring 2011 show boasted models in hot fuschia shadow. It’s a look that seems surprisingly chic, especially when paired with a squeaky-clean skin. The trick to looking bright-eyed rather than sleepy-eyed? Line eyes with black before applying the pink, and add mascara liberally.

 From top to bottom: Anna Sui Eye Color Accent in Hot Pink, $27; MAC Pigment in Neo-Orange, $20; Nars Duo Eyeshadow in Caravaggio, $33

Rumor: Kanye West is in Paris Designing a Collection for Spring 2012

Fashion breaks Kanye’s heart. He said so himself when he was named “Stylemaker of the Year” by the Accessories Council last year. Since then, he’s become a fixture at fashion shows (even if he had some trouble getting into the shows in Paris this past season), met with folks in the biz for advice on starting a line–like a professor at Central Saint Martins and A.P.C. founder Jean Touitou, and most recently collaborated with famed French graphic design and art direction team M/M to produce a collection of silk scarves.

The rapper obviously takes fashion seriously (I mean, the man performed in spring 2011 Celine at Coachella), so it should come as no surprise that he’s working on a collection in Paris, according to the UK’s Telegraph. West has reportedly taken up residence in Paris and will show a collection for spring 2012 in a “presentation-style format” this coming September. And since Yeezy doesn’t do anything half-assed, I’m expecting great things from him.

Rumor Has It: Diane Von Furstenberg Set To Collab With Gap Kids o_O

I love rumors—well, at least the good kind. 😉 And this morning’s whispers over a Diane von Furstenberg collaboration with Gap Kids are all sorts of goodness. Gap Kids’ team-up with designer Stella McCartney was a knockout, and I have every reason to believe that Diane could help the national chain once again strike kiddie retail gold. According to sources, the collection is set to hit stores later this year—just in time for back to school season perhaps? Adding fuel to the fire, Gap’s spokesman gave a stock “no comment,” to reporters from Racked, while reps from DVF have yet to respond. I think there’s no reason to be shy; von Furstenberg’s bold prints are pitch-perfect for children, and mini wrap dresses? Too cute for words.

It’s my summertime mission to reinvent the cut-off + T-shirt + sneaker combo each time the mercury starts to rise. These Rachel Roy sneakers are going to make my summer uniform all the more special. In collaboration with surfer Karina Petroni, these kicks feature a woven boho pattern, a cool-blue shade, and a dusty red sole that’s reminiscent of clay-top roads. And for $99, it’s a fun buy that won’t wash away your summer savings. Cop yours, here!
