SUPER by Dr. Perricone Limited-Edition Skin Nutrition Kit

i received an email regarding SUPER by Dr. Perricone's newest product release and thought it was so incredibly cute-- i just had to share!

this Skin Nutrition Kit comes in a retro lunch box (yes, it's made of metal so you can reuse it however you'd like!) and offers users the perfect taste of good-for-skin products. if you're looking to get your skin off to a good start in 2011, consider Skin Nutrition. it contains daily allowances of antioxidants and vital nutrients, all in three full-sized SUPER products: Face & Eye Cleanser, Detox Elixir and Hyper Hydrator.

NARS Vintage Nail Polish Collection

happy friday (and october), beauties! look what just became available today-- the NARS Vintage Nail Polish Collection! five delicious shades, resurrected by popular demand, all with NARS' signature longwearing formula.

these polishes have a high gloss luster, are water and detergent resistant, and will only be around for a brief time. don't miss your chance to own these past best-sellers (if you don't already), all with classic cinema as their common theme (original launch for each shade in the parenthesis)...

Mash ('96), is an army green infused with gold. don't remember the movie? it was the comedy about the staff of a korean war field hospital using humor to keep their sanity in the face of war. the film inspired the hit tv series M*A*S*H.

King Kong, also from '96, is a copper brown infused with gold. who hasn't seen the classic about the infamous giant ape who becomes smitten with beauty?

Midnight Express ('96) is a deep navy. the 1970s film was about an inmate's opportunity to escape from prison.

Zulu ('96) is a gorgeous forest green. the 1964 british war movie starred Stanley Baker and Michael Caine.

Full Metal Jacket ('98-- a great year, if i do say so myself) is a gunmetal grey. the epic vietnam war movie was directed by Stanley Kubrick in 1987.


since fall is the seasonal height of the fashion year, these Vintage Nail Polishes are a must-have (and you know your nails would love a new shade to wear). as i told you earlier, these are available to purchase now. just visit narscosmetics.com.

happy shopping!

MAC 'Going Bananas' Eyeshadow from the Dare to Wear Collection

a little over a month ago, i took the plunge and bought an eyeshadow color i never thought i'd wear. i had heard some good things about it, and, being the makeup junkie i am, was content with the idea of just collecting another LE eyeshadow from MAC if i didn't like the way it looked on me. the great thing is, it actually does look good and i love wearing it!

the color i'm talking about is called Going Bananas and it was one of many funky, bright shades in the Dare to Wear collection. this bright yellow isn't as bold on the eye as i thought it would be. it's finish is a frost, but not glittery and definitely not matte. on my eyes, it adds a nice pop of color and looks good with any other shade i choose to pair it with (who knew?)



the whole collection:

Dare to Wear Lipglass shades:

Dare to Dare-- light blue pink with multi-pearl
Bold & Brash-- bright red with multi-pearl
Ban This!-- deep purple with multi-pearl
Gimme That!-- bright fuchsia pink with pink pearl
So Bad-- mid-tone coral orange with pink and gold pearl
Wind Me Up-- dirty bronze with pink and gold pearl

Eyeshadows:

Louder, Please-- bright fuchsia (matte)
Free to Be-- creamy true coral (matte)
Going Bananas-- soft lemon yellow (frost)
Lime-- lime green (matte)
Sassy Grass-- bright grass green (matte)
Atlantic Blue-- bright violet blue (matte)
Crazy Cool-- pale frosty lavender (veluxe pearl)
Shock-a-holic-- deep purple (matte)
Aqua-- subdued, pale greyed aqua (matte)
Sky Blue-- robin's egg blue (frost)
Winkle-- mid-tone cornflower blue (satin)
Zingy-- bright sky blue (matte)

Dare to Wear is still available online (maccosmetics.com), but not much longer. if you're like me and sometimes procrastinate, you'll be happy to know that there still just maight be products left in stock at your local MAC even if there isn't a display out (trust me, i've done this many times in the past). :)

nail color of the week: MAC So Rich So Pretty

when i first saw MAC's So Rich So Pretty nail polish (from the Alice + Olivia Collection), i knew i had to get it. i also knew it wouldn't be at my local MAC counter (which is at Macy's-- our mall doesn't have a Nordstrom, grrr), so i would have to order online.

i'm so thankful i did-- it quickly sold out online. i'm sure that had i driven 30 minutes to Nordie's it would have been for nothing (that's just how things seem to work out for me, LOL!).

in any case, i ordered it (along with the Later pigment, also A+O, which is also sold out online), and now own it-- yay! isn't it gorgeous?


SRSP outdoors

So Rich So Pretty was a bit hard for my camera to capture in direct sunlight-- it seemed to do this weird, blurry, sci-fi-looking thing-- but the pics above are pretty accurate. in person, it's just as described by the brand, a bright purple frost. it's such a fun, fabulous shade that is great for summer. if you can get it, definitely do-- it won't be around forever.
