Lipstick for Tiny Lips

Love Chanel, hate the new satin lip cream pallet. I mean, it's absolutely adorable, but talk about a rip-off. You're paying $60 for lipstick that's so small even a lip brush can barely reach it. There is so little product that it would be gone after a few uses. Plus, who really wants to carry a lip brush around with them? I may be somewhat bias because I don't like lipstick and never use it, but this whole concept seems like more trouble than it's worth.

NOTE: Sorry about the anti-lipstick rant. I'm sure there are plenty of great lipsticks out there, it's just not my 'thing.'

MAC Monogram Collection

The new collection from MAC is something very different for them: a high end line. The prices are near double to what they normally are, ranging from $22-$70. The collection is packaged in gold and browns and includes lipstick, lip gloss, powder, brushes, fragrance, and a clutch. All in all, the colors are nice, but it reminds me of something I'd find from Estee Lauder. I would just as soon stick to their regular line (which is still fabulous), and save my money--you're basically just paying for the packaging.

Twilight Movie Make Up

I can't believe how excited I am about the Twilight movie coming out on Friday--I'm almost giddy. I think that Edward is the most dashing hero since Mr Darcy! I'm completely caught up in the teen craze, so you can't imagine how thrilled I was to find that Makeup411.com had a list of the actual colors used by make-up artist Jeanne Van Phue on the set. I may not have a handsome vampire in love with me, but at least now I can channel Bella's natural beauty.
