Mac A Rose Romance Makeup Petal Soft And Cool

Plums, pinks, and roses.

If these cooler makeup shades look lovely on you, then Mac Cosmetics new Mac A Rose Romance collection is right for you.

23 petal soft shades are in this collection. We especially love the Mac See Thru Lipcolours, like Tender Tryst and Secret Crush ($14, a tube). Just enough oomph of color wash to brighten your lips for summer. Like the stain left behind from a popsicle. In a sleek gel-like texture.

And the Mac eyeshadows ($14.50) in the line are whisper soft in hues of silver pearl, violet and pink golds.

This romantic collection is reminiscent of the pretty, cool tones that Elizabeth Taylor used to wear whenever we saw her in photos or on the red carpet years ago. With her pale skin and raven locks, the great actress had such a luminous glow, in colors that complemented her violet eyes.

How To Get Glam Like Anne Hathaway With 4 Makeup Items

If there's a young Hollywood starlet who always looks glam and polished, and so classy on the red carpet, it's definitely actress Anne Hathaway.



Her hair and makeup are flawless. And a lot of women want her makeup artist.

Julie Harris is her name, and now she is telling you how to get glam like Anne Hathaway with just 4 makeup items.

Julie Harris did Anne's makeup at the recent Tony Awards show, giving the pretty actress "a modern version of Audrey Hepburn."

Sinply translated in makeup talk, that means the emphasis is on those big, brown eyes.

Here are the 4 makeup items to get glam:

1. Nars Eyeshadow in Portobello ($32, at fine dept. stores, and http://www.narscosmetics.com/). Apply in crease.

2. Lancome Artliner Precision Point Eyeliner ($28, http://www.lancome.com/ and fine dept. stores). Apply along top lash line.

3. Lancome Hypnose Custome Volume Mascara ($24, http://www.lancome.com/). 2 coats top lashes. 1 coat bottom lashes

4. Nars Sabrina Lip Balm ($24, http://www.narscosmetics.com/). Light pink shimmer shade with melon scent.

Try On The New UGG Fall 2009 Collection Now

This so UGG-tastic!!!


The new fall 2009 UGG collection!

We just caught this at Nordstrom's trunk show. Beautiful boots, slippers, clogs, and sweater boots.

Ladies, it's time to get your UGG on!

Sure, there are some pretty imitations, but no one makes them quite like UGG Australia.

And now there are 22 gorgeous pairs in the collection to choose from.

And you can pre-order them online right now through July 5th at http://www.nordstroms.com/.

UGGS are so comfortable and everyone we know, has at least one pair.

As the head of UGG Boot put it:

"UGG® Australia is the real deal," says Connie Rishwain, President of UGG® Australia. "Once you wear UGGs, you're hooked. They're original, authentic and the ultimate in luxury and comfort."

But the beautiful boot people, have been kicked in the heels a few times, by foot experts who claim the shoes are not good to wear for extended periods of time. We talked about this in a past article here at BeautyTipToday:

Podiatrists like Edward Chairman of Philadelphia, says these UGGS aren't made for walking all the time. Apparently, the boots are not good for the arches of your feet. That's what the foot doc told nbclosangeles.com.

"After a few hours, they start feeling tired, their feet are tired, they're aching and they don't know why. The reason it's aching is because there is zero support in the arch area," says Dr. Chairman.

UGG Australia finds the report a bit ridiculous and stated, that the company has been in business for some 30 years now, and has never once received a complaint about arch support or comfort.

Right on, UGG!

There Actually Is A Mascara For Your Bottom Lashes

Putting on mascara is a key step in most women's daily beauty routine.

But applying mascara to the bottom lashes, is not always easy. The brush on the wand is a bit too long and clumsy, and many of us end up getting some mascara under the eyes, ugh.

But the folks at Tarte have created a pretty cool mascara to get those smaller bottom lashes. The product is sensibly called Bottoms Up Lower Lash Mascara ($16, at beauty stores like Sephora, and online at www.sephora.com).

So how is the formula and brush different from a regular wand?

Tarte explains that they do it with precision:

Tarte Bottoms Up™ - Lower Lash Mascara has a flake-free, water-resistant formula with a precision tapered brush that allows you to target the tiniest of lashes and wide-set bristles that separate and evenly coat. The ergonomic component ensures easy application for perfectly defined bottom lashes.

Should you even bother to put mascara on your lower lashes?

Yes, of course. You will frame the eyes more beautifully. And your eyes will look larger, always a good thing.

Let's get Twiggy eyes.
