Clinique Spring 2010: Juiced Up Colour

February 16th, 2010 by Crystal

My makeup style is always evolving. Last year, I was into softer neutral eyes, but now I love wearing colorful peacock eyes. Are you the same? Do you wear the same makeup you wore two years ago?

As a teen, you might have used Clinique’s awesome skincare but my have abandoned it as an adult for more glamorously packaged brands. But lately, I think Clinique deserves a second glance. Just take a look at the delightful Juiced Up Colour Collection for Spring 2010.

When I first fell for cosmetics, I was fascinated by the intricate designs on many cheek products. The Clinique All Over Color in Mixed Berries ($29.50 US) is no exception and looks (almost) too lovely to use! Still, the plumy rose shade is too pretty not to dip into!

New in Beauty – All About Eyes: Kat Von D, LORAC, Clinique, DuWop and Maybelline!

January 26th, 2010 by Crystal

When I was younger, I did not know nor did I care that my eyes had no crease. Fast forward to the present; working with my eye makeup can be a pain in the behind with the absence of a crease.

Still, I love my eyes and the countless number of ways I can accentuate their almond shape with cosmetics. This is probably why I find eye products to be the most interesting. Check out some fun new goodies I found this week:

Kat Von D True Romance Eyeshadow Palettes ($34 US) are all lovely but the ones that really get fans raving are the limited edition ones, which have special packaging. The newest one, Memento Mori is sure to cause stampedes.

Holiday Gift Guide For the Teen 2009

Most people have to live with the fact that they wore unflattering, crazy makeup and wild hair as a teen. Remembering the blue eye shadow trend or the popular “mullet” might bring tears of laughter and disbelief as you look back on it now.

Gifting ideas for teenage girls who love experimenting with trends like you did back then might be tricky. However, our Gift Guide for the Teen ensures that you won’t have to rely on the been-there-done-that iTunes gift card.

Throw in a coupon for a makeup lesson from you so that (hopefully) they won’t have to hide their yearbooks pictures ten years later.

MAC Frisky Business Lipglass Set

Lipsticks are the most appropriate for teens; it’s too aging and heavy. Try to distract your teen away from bleeding lipstick with the high shine glamour of MAC 5 Frisky Business Bright Lipglass Set ($29.50 US). The colors are bright, so your teen will be satisfied, but not clownishly opaque.

Taking Care of Business Under the Sun

Woman Applying Sunblock

Summer may be over but I’m just now bringing out most of my sun products to pack along for our week-long cruise to the Mexican Riviera.

I spent most of my summer in San Francisco so I wasn’t able to take full advantage of these until now. Here’s what I’ll be packing on-board with me to protect myself while I’m sunbathing on the pool deck or parasailing over the Pacific Coast in Cabo San Lucas.
