Also batting for Team Red Lip at the 2012 Golden Globes (and wearing one of my favorite dresses of the night) was Claire Danes. Her dress was J. Mendel; her makeup was done by by Matin Maulawizada for Laura Mercier.

Matin started with Laura Mercier's Foundation Primer and Creme Smooth Foundation in Sunny Beige. He used Secret

My girl-crush on Dianna Agron is still going strong. This girl is ridiculously gorgeous and I'm almost always a fan of her red-carpet dresses, makeup, and hair. I was really drawn to red lips last night, and Dianna's were perfect.

Dianna's dress is Giles, and Adir Abergel for Frederic Fekkai created her fabulous hairstyle. Adir put a little

I'm sure many of you watched the Golden Globes last night, and while I don't have an exhaustive analysis of the makeup of every actress in attendance, I wanted to mention a few.

For me, Nicole Kidman's Versace dress walked the line of loving it and "um?" On the one hand, she looked gorgeously like an Erte

Does the mention of a new Mineralize collection from MAC make you weak in the knees? I think MAC thinks it does — and maybe the general population does feel this way — but I don't know if I'm inherently drawn to (any brand's) baked products. I'm much more likely to fall in love with a color

Last September I was in NYC for fashion week, and a fashion blogger passingly mentioned that neon was about to be huge. That statement didn't click with me at the time, but a few months later, as I parsed donations for the annual holiday BeautyBloggers.org charity auction, I got to see preview pictures of Le Metier de

I have a VERY exciting guest swatch for you today: from Barney's exclusive collaboration with Lady Gaga (Gaga's Holiday Workshop), Deborah Lippmann's Edge of Glory set!

AlexandraRC tipped me off to this snazzy duo. It contains two full-sized polishes: a black creme and a crazy-rainbow-flakie topcoat. The set originally retailed for $40, but is currently

MAC first released Metal X cream eyeshadows in 2007. They released them again in 2008 (as Brushed Metal X shadows in the Metal Urge collection). Now they're back  for 2011/2012. I'd originally reported that the three releases were three different formulations; I have since learned that this is incorrect (it was the same formula all three times).

Little known fact about Le Metier de Beaute: they make a full line of nail polish. Right now the only place to buy those colors (or get a mani/pedi with them) is the John Barrett salon in Bergdorf Goodman — in NYC. But the polishes are hitting the road for a one-day-only appearance right here in Dallas,

Another collection on MAC's counters right now is lip-focused Tour de Fabulous. I was actually expecting to see this collection back in July; rumor had it that MAC was going to introduce a new vinyl-finish lipgloss called Glamglass. The collection was pushed back to December, and it seems MAC made the decision to release the shades in

Lucky, lucky Dallas has another exclusive Le Metier de Beaute lipgloss — and lucky me, I got to swatch it. Seasoned Dallas shoppers may already know the iconic and endlessly stylish Betty Lidji, veteran of the downtown Neiman Marcus location. For those of you who don't know Betty, picture Zsa Zsa Gabor; she's that glamorous.

Betty's Divine Red is

Chanel's spring collection was one of the first on counter this year. The collection chiefly offers variations on pink and orange (is this the color palette you're craving right now?). The collection also presents a lot of lip options, but I'll save those for the end.

First, let me introduce the eyeshadow quad ($57, permanent). Eclosion includes

Bobbi's first collection of 2012 is here: Neons & Nudes (and it definitely covers both ends of the spectrum). Though Bobbi gives us a bold option for eye and a nude option for lip, I gravitated toward bright lips and neutral eyes.

The Ultra Nude Eye Palette felt perfectly within Bobbi's comfort zone.  (And we already know

MAC has so many new collections on counter right now, it's making my head spin. I think the two most highly anticipated are the socialite/fashion-icon collaborations: one with Daphne Guinness and one with Iris Apfel.

The Honourable Daphne Suzannah Diana Joan Guinness (born 1967) is perhaps the world's best known living heiress. She is
