Beauty Beat

There are some new products and some not so new that I can’t wait to get my hands on right now. A new face palette from NARS that includes the fav blushes Orgasm and South Beach.

Wild at heart

I am a palette fiend! How can you resist all those colors waiting to make you look beautiful. They are so convenient and great for travel. So, even though my cup runneth over with eyeshadows, here are my favorites. 

*MAC Cosmetics - We all love MAC. For most of us it was probably the first professional makeup we owned. It was a little expensive, but we didn’t care. MAC has always been at the forefront in innovation and cool new colors. I’m lovin’ the new Graphic Garden palette with cool blues, and a pale violet for good measure. Custom palettes can be created to your hearts content.

*I still can’t resist buying Make Up Forever’s Aqua Eyes set of 25 colors that are waterproof can be used as eyeliner and smudged for shadow. I have always loved MUF for heir saturated products and professional applications. So intense. Custom palettes available.

* Sephora’s  brand has a few choices with the Colorbox, Artist Palettes in warm and cool, and lip gloss palettes that are a good bet. Also at Sephora: Tarte blush wallet and shadow box, Kat Von D’s 8 shadow palettes, and YSL’s sophisticated quintet in various color groups.
