Images of Chantecaille's Sea Turtle palette (the latest in their philanthropic palette series) leaked online long before product had arrived at counter — causing something of an internet sensation. At last, I have swatches to accompany that product preview.

The Sea Turtles palette includes eyeshadows in a shimmery beige, a shimmery warm, soft cocoa brown, and a

I didn't jump on the Black Shatter bandwagon right away, but after reading this fantastic guest review and swatches by Soaper1, I'm reconsidering.

OPI's recent collaboration with Katy Perry produced four polishes: The One that Got Away, Teenage Dream, Last Friday Night, and Not Like the Movies. Black Shatter was released simultaneously (overlapping the Katy Perry and Serena Williams Glam

In honor of the introduction of a new Pure Matte Lipstick (Madere) in NARS' spring collection, I thought it would be useful to swatch the whole shade range.

NARS has two different matte lip options: Pure Matte Lipsticks (skinny lipstick tubes, $25) and Velvet Matte Lip Pencil (a chubby lip "crayon," $24). I asked a NARS sales associate what

I saw a NARS gift set at my local counter, and since it contained a new (and limited edition, and exclusive-to-the-set) product — the Angelika Multiple — I thought I should swatch it.

The set is called Tainted Love ($59), and includes the Angelika Multiple, Schiap nail polish, and Angelika lipgloss.

Multiple sticks are meant to be used anywhere —

Wonder Woman is MAC's big spring collection — big in that the collection is vast, and also in that several of the pieces are supersized. I mean, "of heroic proportions."

It's tricky to take on a comic book theme. The "American heroes" of the DC universe tend to dress in primary colors (which are not necessarily what

I think everybody knows, loves, and admires MAC's Viva Glam program — MAC donates 100% of the purchase price of Viva Glam products to AIDS charities. Since the program's inception, they've donated $202 million to the cause.

Last year's collaboration with Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gaga was Viva Glam's best year to date. So this year Lady

NARS spring is here, in a swirl of colors, and a Calvin-Klein-esque promotional image that seems mostly about contouring.

Following on the heels of holiday's Okinawa trio, spring introduces a new, limited edition eyeshadow trio ($45). Calanque! I am a lion! I am on the Serengeti!

The word Calanque actually refers to a Mediterranean fjord. It's a

On Friday I mentioned that Estee Lauder and Harper's Bazaar had partnered to find women who were "fabulous at every age." (You still have until February 25th to enter their contest.)

I also mentioned that Estee Lauder had released a limited edition lipstick and gloss — sold exclusively at Saks and on EsteeLauder.com — that would look good on women

Here is a contest I would really like to win: Harper's Bazaar and Estee Lauder have teamed up to find women who are Fabulous at [Any] Age.

My lack of fashion sense is probably going to keep me from victory, but I figure some of you lovely ladies probably have a chance.

Here's the scoop: Harper's and

As a complement to their famous Velvet Matte lip pencils (chubby, crayon-style lip color), NARS just released Velvet Gloss pencils. These are really, truly lipgloss-in-pencil-form. They have a slight stickiness that gives them staying power. You can wear them alone, or over lipstick.

Hopi is rosy honey, a rosy-peach-brown. Frivolous is a very sheer pink with

A while ago, I wrote about the products I use to keep my nails looking their best. Since then, I've refined my technique... but I didn't realize that post was out of date until I tried to refer someone to it and realized it didn't include the full story.

I have naturally thin, weak, peely nails.

You really can't talk about Becca Cosmetics without mentioning one of their most beloved products: Beach Tints. These are creme color in a squeeze tube, intended for lips or cheeks (news to me: I thought they were "just" creme blush).

Becca released a holiday set ($63), including the not-available-individually Apricot. The full range of permanent shades is Strawberry, Peach, Grapefruit,

I was finally able to track down a full set of Korres' Raspberry Liquid Lipstick testers (harder than it sounds. Though there are only six shades, Sephora almost always seems to be out of at least one).

What makes a liquid lipstick? Level of coverage? Finish? These are on the glossy side for a liquid lipstick. They feel very lightweight (they're

Valentine's Day is almost upon us, and I know a lot of brands are vying for your attention. But I heard of two deals in particular that I wanted to make sure you knew about.

First, fragrance house Ormonde Jayne is offering free worldwide shipping on any purchase made before February

I can always count on Soaper1 to keep me informed of important events in the world of nail polish. Knockout Cosmetics is a new-to-me brand, but when Soaper1 sent swatches, I was intrigued by their all-matte aesthetic. The finish of her nails is so appealingly West Elm/Pottery Barn, don't you think? Here's her review:

I've wanted to try Knockout polishes
