Finger Paints is not a polish brand that's usually on my radar. I've seen them for sale in Sally's, but never felt compelled to pick one up and take it home. Seeing Easel-y Entertained on Soaper1's nails, I was blown away. Here's her review:
...I heard through the grapevine that Finger Paints had added some new colors to their core
You might be surprised to learn that ultra-luxe skincare brand La Mer makes a few "color" cosmetics products. Â You probably won't be surprised to know they're all "for skin."
La Mer offers a fluid foundation, a cream foundation, a pressed powder, a loose powder, and a potted cream concealer. I've heard the cream foundation is being discontinued,
...To the Beach releases this week (swatches are here and here because I didn't get all of the enormous collection done in one day). Â Fittingly, the weather in Dallas has also gotten quite tropical, so this week, I'm giving away a brand new Bronze Body Oil and Weekend Cream Bronzer.
Here’s how it works:
Shu's Face Architect Remodeling Cream Foundation is the line's full-coverage foundation, with ingredients to combat dry skin concerns.
Like Face Architect Smoothing Fluid Foundation, the shades are numbered. The first digit tells you how pink or yellow the foundation is (1 is the most pink; 9 is the most yellow; 5 is neutral). The second digit

Saks has a very cool event coming up, called the Color of Summer. From May 28 – June 5, a $75 purchase in fragrance or cosmetics gets you a cute beach tote. Inside the tote are three cards with special offers:
Rescue Beauty — brainchild of nail wizard Ji Baek — makes fantastically gorgeous nail polish (I picked up a few during their last sale). There's also an actual salon in NYC, but I've never been.
Tremendous thanks to Soaper1 for her swatches and review of one of their limited edition summer shades: 360.
...360 is one of three shades in
Insanely curious about American Apparel's new nail polish shades, I asked Soaper1 to investigate. She started with pale yellow Butter. Her review:
...Butter is part of of AA's new summer release. The other polishes in the collection are: California Trooper (light khaki), Summer Peach (pastel peach), Malibu Green (rich aquamarine), L Esprit (lavender) — and a basecoat/topcoat, if you're counting
Faux pas, posting a photo from The Makeup Show and not telling you what I was wearing!
The new-for-summer, limited edition NARS Multiple Tints have arrived at my counter, and to borrow a line from Rachel Zoe: I die.
NARS Multiples are apply-anywhere twist-up color sticks — blush, bronzer, or highlighter, which can be used on lips, cheeks, and eyes. The Multiple Tints are sheer sticks of jelly love.
I swatched first lightly,
I've got the second half of MAC's To The Beach Collection for you today; to see swatches of the eyeshadows, eye kohls, nail polishes, bronzers, and blushes, go back to Part 1.
The lipsticks are $14 each. Beachbound is a frosty peach Glaze. Lazy Day is a very blue-pink Lustre. Thrills is a warm, russety
Clouds rolled in before I could complete my swatches of MAC's To The Beach collection, but I didn't want to waste any time getting the swatches out to you, so I'll break the collection into two parts. Click here to see part 2 (the lipsticks, glosses, lip pencils, luminizers, and brushes).
To The Beach is definitely... beachy. I think

I was in New York this weekend, attending a cosmetics trade show known as The Makeup Show. It was a totally amazing experience. I shared a room with Product Girl; I borrowed topcoat from All Lacquered Up; I had dinner with Retrodiva, Older Girl Beauty, and Kraseybeauty.

Macy's just started a fantastic Lancome gift with purchase (if you were saving up an intended purchase for a "really good" GWP, now is the time to spring). Now through June 6th, a $32.50 purchase also gets you:
This week I'm giving away Guerlain's new Meteorites Perles in Harmony 03: Teinte Dore. As we discussed about a month ago, Guerlain's famous "balls" have been reformulated. Â The irresistible jars are filled with candy colored pearls; each color is selected to lend a particular benefit (correcting, light diffusing, etc.). The blended powder that your brush picks up will even

Almost a year ago, Too Faced came out with a Natural Eye Palette ($34). Intrigued, I swatched it, loved the creamy, soft texture and intense pigmentation, but was turned off by the number of frosty shades (and the intensity of that frost).
As if they could read my mind, Too Faced followed up with four Natural
