The Weekly Roundup: Posts You Might Have Missed - Makeup and Beauty Blog
Four days, 12,000 miles, ten pounds of gelato and a blog, DAMN! I yet can't believe I was in Milan this calendar week. It was such a quick trip, but I hope you lot felt a little similar you were there with me. A few weeks ago if yous'd told me that Dolce & Gabbana would invite me to Milan to cover their Fashion Week show, I would have said, "Oh shut the front door!" And tin can I bring my cat?
What makeup have you lot been obsessing about lately, and what were some of the products on your mind (and your optics) this week? Here's some of the stuff we talked about effectually hither.
DOLCE & GABBANA MAKEUP
MILAN FASHION Week, Summertime 2011
You lot know how sometimes you see a expect come down the runway and you're like, "Whoa! Where the heck did that beam downwards from? Enterprise, do you read me?"
Take the orange eyeshadow makeup artists sent Tom Cruisin' down the catwalk in New York not long ago. Don't get me wrong â€" I lurves me some brights, and I'm all for artistic expression when information technology comes to le war paint, but it'south too squeamish to see runway looks I might actually wear in existent life.

DOLCE & GABBANA MAKEUP
ETHEREAL BEAUTY Collection, HOLIDAY 2010
Oy, what a relief! My poor luggage found its way habitation last night, none the worse for clothing, and when I busted it open, BAM! Tabs jumped inside. 🙂
Somehow he even knew which compartment held the Dolce & Gabbana Ethereal Beauty Collection products for holiday 2010.
I've been meaning to swatch these for you for days! Most of the colors in the xv-piece collection, a collaboration betwixt makeup artist Pat McGrath and designers Dominico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, are totally new. Only two of them, Volumizing Lashes in Black ($29) and Intense Nail Lacquer in Pink 100 ($20), are re-promotes from the permanent line.
None of the products, which arrive at Saks Fifth Avenue stores in mid-October, are exactly bargains, unfortunately, but the prices are typical for a luxury line, ranging from $xx at the low end all the way upwardly to $59 at the height. Read more…
GUERLAIN 6 COULEURS
EYE SHADOW PALETTES
"Nobody does luxury like Guerlain, but non even in my wildest dreams could I have imagined something as glamorous as their new Écrin vi Couleurs eye shadow palettes that came out this fall. The pictures speak for themselves: just wait at that filigree cover, the little bee (symbol of Guerlain that dates back to XIX century) on it, and the big cute mirror that opens upward to the side of the palette. Information technology was simply appropriate to name each of the five palettes after a Guerlain boutique in Paris!
The 1 I ended up buying is named after Guerlain's flagship boutique at 68, Artery des Champs-Elysées. My choice was partly due to the fact that I like regal and don't have plenty grays, and partly because I really like the thought of looking at Champs-Elysées in the morning…" Read more…
$6 GOODY
SPIN PINS
Goody Spin Pins ($vi), ohmahgawd, they're awesome. I brought a pair with me on my trip terminal weekend based on your recommendations, so thanks â€" you were so right!
They're basically these beefed up, coiled metal bobby pin-like doohickies (two per pack) for securing your pilus into a bun; Goody says each ane does the work of xx bobbies (no, non the ones in law enforcement), and they come in ii shades, ane for lighter hair and one for darker. Each pack comes with two pins. Read more than…
MAC BLOT
Pulverization/PRESSED
What'due south up, friend? This mail is getting to you kinda late, I know, and I'thousand sorry. Long story short, but my flight was delayed out of Milan yesterday. Consequently, I nearly missed the connecting flight out of Germany to get back home (Annotation: If yous're the person I steamrolled in the international terminal of the Frankfurt airdrome yesterday…my bad!).
I managed to make the flight (YEA!), but my luggage didn't (BOO!). And, of course, it contained all of the makeup I was hoping to dish about today â€" stuff from Dolce & Gabbana Holiday, Kiko, Madina and a brand called Fred Farrugia.
Thankfully, the airline emailed to say they plant the bag and put it on the first train plane home. Read more than…
BURT'South BEES CRANBERRY & POMEGRANATE
SUGAR SCRUB
I discover it both hilarious and totally fitting that Burt's Bees Cranberry & Pomegranate Carbohydrate Scrub ($13 for an 8-oz. jar) has a warning on the characterization that reads, "practice not consume." Seriously, they have to tell you lot non to eat the product because it looks and smells THAT practiced â€" like a jar of berry-licious preserves or a sugary frozen treat.
I dug into it when I jumped in the shower after I got home from the airport terminal night. I noticed on the listing of ingredients (it's 100% natural) that it contains a BUNCH of dissimilar oils, amidst them soybean, coconut, cranberry, olive and grape seed. The Zia Skin Basics Bamboo Exfoliant I was happily using last calendar week just didn't seem hydrating enough to restore the moisture that had been sucked from my skin past the recirculated air on the plane.
Sugar, soybean oil and cranberry oil are the peak ingredients, and I swear I tin can feel all three. The product's certainly rich, yet I can however experience the tiny grains of what I assume are saccharide. They do accept some grit to them, but they're nowhere near as painful abrasive equally the grains in Zia'south Bamboo (they may go the job done but feel similar torture in a tube!). Read more than…
PRESTIGE TOTAL
INTENSITY EYELINERS
"Is there such a affair equally as well many eyeliners? I have a zillion yet I withal want more than. I'd always thought Urban Decay'south 24/7 Glide-On Centre Pencils were the smoothest liners ever with their vegan, to-die-for formula, but I call up I've found some close competition. 🙂
Not long ago I discovered the Prestige Full Intensity Eyeliners at Ulta. My local Ulta, even so, didn't accept testers. Being obsessed with colour, I took a chance and picked upward three of them!! For a mere $5.50 apiece, they seemed like drugstore dupes of the Urban Decay eyeliners. Luckily, all of them are super creamy, take excellent pigmentation and Do NOT budge one time they've prepare. Prestige Cosmetics claims they're paraben-free besides, so what'southward non to love?" Read more…
E.L.F. STUDIO
Pulverization Brush
I have a confession to make… fifty-fifty though I'm a dazzler blogger and people expect me to wait nice all the time, sometimes I'one thousand only too lazy to apply foundation. This is specially true when I'thou rushing to become prepare for form in the morning. But then I discovered powder foundation and my life was complete… except that I didn't have the right tool to use it.
See, most pulverization foundations come with those sponges that I don't like for two reasons — they're hard to make clean, and about people never wash them anyhow. So I tried a kabuki brush, which tin easily be washed, except that the short stubby handle meant I couldn't put information technology in my brush organizer with the rest my brushes. Read more…

Hello, ladies. As many of you know, breast cancer has touched my family, as it has many of yours. Information technology's something I recall about all year long, but especially when October rolls around.

That'southward why I made the sign you see at the superlative of this mail. Information technology'southward one easy way to say, "Nosotros're all in this together, and I'thou here with yous." Read more than…
