Armani Holiday 2011 Collection

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

So we have all been wowed by MAC’s Glitter & Ice collection for the holiday season so now its time to check out the new collection from Armani!

Armani Cosmetics Creative Director Linda Cantello describes the Madre Perla collection “Like a 1930’s boudoir….A touch of lacquer patinated metals add a sophisticated feel to satiny, pearlescent tones. Delicate shades reminiscent of the silk lingire of the time”

Like many of the holiday collections we have seen so far the Madre Perla is all about silver & gold shades giving an antique gilted look to the collection.

Thanks to Colorfil color matrix, these creamy, powder-free shadows adhere to the eyelid like a second skin without fading or flaking. The result: a vibrant film of colour, as if cast in metal which stays true for 24 hours. Exactly what you want when you’re getting ready for a night out!

This range includes eye & face Madre Perla Palette with a very limited  3000 in a special decorated case, eye palette with ivory, taupe & lavender shades, Eyes to Kill shadows in silver, gold and grey & gold as well as four lipglosses.

Megan Fox is the face of Armani & we have no doubt that her stunning images in these ads would encourage anyone to make a dash for the Armani counter! With so many new collections coming our way it’s going to be tough to narrow down our Christmas list!

What do you think of the Madre Perla colelction?

MAC Christmas Collection

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011

Gone are the days when the most exciting thing about the holiday season was waking up on Christmas morning to find out what new surprise was waiting for you. Now, however, we have slightly different priorities when it comes to new things. Namely, the new holiday collections from MAC!

This year, MAC have teamed up with Olympic Skating champion Johnny Weir to create their new ‘Glitter & Ice’ collection. This 3-time title holder apparently loves to use MAC during his skating performances and in case the name didn’t give it away, his career was the main inspiration behind the collection.

Glitter & Ice is one of the largest holiday collections MAC has launched in the past few years boasting new shades for eyes, lips, face & nails so there is something for everyone here!

The shadows are mineralize and with how much we adore the mineralize face powders we certainly can’t wait to see these! The rest of the shades are all metallic shimmers & glitters which are always a holiday staple when it comes to make-up trends.

“Glide quickly past the competition! Morning frost or glam night out, here’s all the twirl, whirl & winter-wonderful snowglobe shades needed to send boys and girls into a double-spin. What will the judges say?” MAC

Have you had your eye on anything from this range yet?

Let us know what you think.

All for Eve

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

_mg_3081Have you ever wanted to get involved with a charity but not been sure what you can offer?

Well, George Hammar, beauty guru and chairman of Urban Retreat, created a range of makeup and beauty products in memory of his sister-in-law who died of cancer. The range is called ‘All for Eve’. Money raised through sale of the products goes to the Eve Appeal charity which funds research into gynaecological cancer which affects women.

You can read about their work on the Eve Appeal website here. The latest product is a fabulous red lippie created by makeup artist Daniel Sandler working with Hammar – you might have seen his work in Vogue or Elle? So when you buy the lipstick you’ll look great and do your Good Samaritan deed for the day. You can buy this range and cosmetics from the Mary Kay range as well as massively discounted luxury beauty products from Urban Retreat by following this link on the Eve Appeal site.

Do you know of any other beauty-charity link-ups?
