Rihanna for MAC Collection

Rihanna is launching her second collection with MAC TODAY at 12 noon!  I must say that MAC did a great job of keeping this one a secret.  I've been digging and digging for a release date and just found out, late last week.  My head had been in the Motherhood clouds for the longest and can you imagine that I found out like the day after about the first launch...smh.  Some beauty blogger, hunh?  Anywho, I have errands to run tomorrow, but I will be waiting by the computer before those errands are complete.  If I can get my hands on RiRi Woo, that would be nice, but I think what I really want is RiRi Heaux.  Pray that I can get SOMETHING! If I do, I will be sure to bring you updates and swatches.

My Day at The Makeup Show NYC 2013


Here are a few pics from my time at the Makeup Show NYC, this past Sunday and Monday.  I remember the first year I went (back in 2008), the Makeup Forever Booth and the MAC booths were the two you could not get to because of the crowds.  Years since, every booth is packed!  I figured I get there early to bypass any lines...ummm, yeah okay.  I still had a blast though, I love previewing new collections and lines, catching up with fellow beauty bloggers, catching glimposes of pros in the industry (peep my photo of AJ Crimson AND below and I was up and close with Sam Fine!!) and of course BUYING goodies! The last two shots are what I picked up from the show.  Separate post to follow.
























Stay Tuned!

Tried True and Reviewed - Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadow



Left to Right: Painted Purple, Tough As Taupe,  Edgy Emerald
What It Is?

• Ink technology creates 24HR wear shadow for our most intense, long-lasting color saturation
• Cream formula glides on without creasing and keeps color vibrant

• Ophthalmologist-tested.  Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers

Pros: Can double as an eyeshadow or an eyeshadow base; stays on for hours even on oiler skin; ten shades to choose from
Cons: they are usually always sold out at my local drug store; of the colors, the purple could have been a bit more vibrant
Alternative: MAC Paints have been my go to for lasting eyeshadow bases, but the price point is double that of the Maybelline Color Tattoo
Would I buy again: Yes, I would, but I anticpate these lasting a long time so no need to re-up anytime soon

Comments: I am not a woman that shops drugstores for make-up (hair products, yes).  I'm a bit of a snob in that area, but I just had to try these and I'm glad I did.  Very good buy for those who are on a budget and love color.

MAC NEO Sci-Fi Collection





If you are BrownFace that likes to play it safe with your make-up choices, I would suggest you run out and buy some products from this collection. It is very brown girl friendly. The shadows are for very natural looks and so are the lipglasses. Actually, the lipglasses are my favorite products in this collection. Other than that, this collection was not very impressive if you love color or drama. View the full collection at www.maccosmetics.com.
