If you haven't seen the display unit for Chanel's latest collection at your Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus, don't worry. Saks got the early exclusive this time. These products will be widely available in October.

This collection is like a little Rouge Allure bonanza. It repromotes three of the most popular shades of Rouge Allure Laque liquid lipstick:

We're developing quite the catalog of Sleek swatches, thanks to the tireless help of some very gracious guest swatchers. This is the Bohemian palette, another limited edition Sleek offering, swatched by Nicole of Beauty-Free (a blog that tracks duty-free beauty exclusives in airports around the world).

Last week I speculated that I could make a fantastic new nail polish by painting OPI's Glitzerland and Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous one on top of the other — a reprise, if you will, of my greatest combination to date: Sally Hansen Iced Metal over OPI Classic.

The results weren't exactly what I expected.

Both polishes are too opaque to

Lea Michele looked adorable and thrilled to be at the Emmys last night (refreshing!). Her dress was Oscar de la Renta, and Melanie Ingelssis for NARS Cosmetics did her makeup. I don't think this is the complete list of what Lea was wearing, but here's what I know so far:

• NARS Pro-Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base

I have this daydream, in which I'm invited to a red carpet event, and someone asks me who I'm wearing, and I say something like "Lancome!" Because seriously, I would have to dress myself.

Anyway, Christina Hendricks did wear Lancome on the red carpet last night (and YSL, and Armani, and Zac Posen). And Makeup artist Vanessa

I think "lips" are having a moment. One of the first ways to change up your look — or transition from one season to another — is to change your lips. So this week, I'm going to send one winner four amazing new products to refresh their lip wardrobe: Lancome L'Absolu Creme de Brilliance in Rose Mythique, Tarte

KaiserMimiVII of Makeup Withdrawal (a girl I love who writes a blog I love), is rather fantastically swatching her way through her personal collection of discontinued LORAC products. Today I am thrilled to present her swatches of the discontinued single eyeshadows. LORAC shadows (from what I've felt and what KaiserMimiVII has told me) are incredibly soft, smooth, and pigmented.

Concurrent to the release of their Feline collection, MAC has released their fall/winter 2010 Nail Trend collection — their second collaboration with nail guru and trendmaker Jin Soon Choi (click here to see last year's offering).

The collection is inspired by imperial China, and each polish is $13.

The sparkles in the bottle are quite

Should we do a roundup? (Who doesn't love roundups?) It'll probably be useful to have all the Felines pictures in one place later.

Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous (of OPI's fall Swiss collection) is even more awesome than I originally recognized. In one coat, it glitters like a New Year's Eve dress. In two coats, the silver darkens to more of a gunmetal metallic with silver microglitter. The effect is thrilling, and I think the color will look great on a wide range of

I think if I had to pick one favorite "feline," it would be Burmese Beauty, the third and final component of MAC's Fabulous Feline collection (possibly on the strength of the eyeshadow quad).

The eyeshadow quad (also called Burmese Beauty) is $36. Prized is a peachy-beige "skintone" color, which looks just perfect for me. It's a satin,

Soaper1 emailed me to say she'd bought China Glaze's Classic Camel, from their fall Vintage Vixen collection. I believe her exact words were "I love it!"  (She's more fashionable than I am.)

Now, I have been seduced by subtle microglitter in the past, but I confess, Classic Camel is just not my color. I do think it would make a

One more Sleek guest-swatch from the amazing Nicole of Beauty-Free (a blog that tracks duty-free beauty exclusives in airports around the world). The Curious palette (another limited edition creation) was definitely designed for someone more adventurous with their eye looks than I am.

Sleek palettes are $10 (£5.99 in England, though they're actually sold in brick-and-mortar drugstores there, so

Leopard Luxe is the warmest of MAC's three Fabulous Felines collections. The Leopard Luxe eyeshadow quad is $36, and in case you've missed the last few months of MAC collections, the compact is of the new style, with the magnetic closure. This makes me wonder if the pans are glued down, or if it's simply magnetic.

Check out my very first Avon polish! I was inspired by Soaper1's swatch of Mambo Melon (which is one of their Speed Dry+ formula), and decided I needed Tweed.

Tweed is in Avon's Nailwear Pro formula. The brush is flattened-round (it's nice), and the formula is very slow to dry. You have to be really careful not to whack
