Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Palette: An FOTD to Kick Off the Movie Release!

March 5th, 2010 by Lilan

A big screen version of a childhood classic, Alice in Wonderland, opens in theaters today! And so, I’ve decided to pull out my new Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows and create a Face of the Day just for the occasion.

I dunno how they do it, but it always seems like Urban Decay knows how to create the mother of all palettes. Remember their Ammo Eye Palette? I created so many fun looks with that one!

Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows ($52 US) is twice the size with some of the same colors (these shades are existing from UD, just re-named to fit the theme) and the combinations you can do with it is ENDLESS.. seriously.

New in Beauty: Colorful Products To Brighten Your Day!

February 15th, 2010 by Crystal

Have you seen a rainbow yet this year? With all the rain we’ve been having the past couple of weeks, I got to see one. The array of colors cheered me up and were so pretty to look at even through a window after the gloomy rain.

I would have gone looking for the pot of gold too, if I had the time and a lucky leprechaun.

Now that the clouds have lifted, this week’s New in Beauty features colorful makeup and bright-scented products to keep you looking and feeling vivacious all day!

If you like pink, coral, plum, or amber, MAC Spring Colour Forecast Collection has you covered! This huge collection of four mini collections features some insanely bright colors like MAC Eyeshadow ($14.50 US) in Hot Hot Hot. If you are bold and love experimenting, go for this bold coral hue!

Valentine’s Day Get The Look: Embellished Basics

February 9th, 2010 by Crystal

I read in a recent issue of Real Simple that women in the early 1900s never considered leaving the house without a matching coat, shoes, and handbag. How improper that was! While we do not go to such extremes now, there’s still a level of harmony that’s maintained between fashion and beauty.

To help make your life easier, The Daily Cookie is putting together two nifty Valentine’s Day guides complete with fashion and makeup ideas to help you create a perfect date look.

For your casual night out, choose comfortable pieces and a classic beauty look that are slightly embellished for a little flair.

Valentine’s Date Idea & Beauty Look To Go: Casual Night Out

February 3rd, 2010 by Crystal

Some of my favorite Valentine’s Day dates (or any kind of date for that matter) are the low-key ones where you just go out with your honey to do your favorite thing and have a good time while you’re at it.

Today’s date idea is the casual day or night out – a picnic and stroll in the park on a Sunday afternoon, a couple of hours at the bowling alley, or cozying up to each other at the movies.

For this kind of date, you don’t want to look overdone. Aim for more of a comfortable beauty look but spark things up with some pretty accessories like jewelry and a colorful scarf. Wear a cute top and throw on your favorite jeans for your fun day out.

For me, I start with my holy grail products I use every day so that I feel most comfortable but I throw in a little something extra, too, for the special occasion.

For lips, apply your MLBB (My lips but better) lipstick to subtly enhance. Try Urban Decay Lipstick ($22 US) in Jailbait, a nude sheer cream, or Hotpants, a medium pink with sheer shimmer.
