NYX Collection


Me and fellow Blogspotter, burnoutdazed.blogspot.com aka Valerie, went to the beauty supply store and checked out the NYX cosmetics they have and I have pics of swatches I took of the Jumbo Pencils:
NYX display at the beauty supply store.

From left to right, Milk, Black Bean, French Fries, Hot Pink, Lime and Slate.

We just love the colors that NYX cosmetics has. They also have good dupes to MAC colors. I found a dupe for the color Haunting, a repromotion of the color is in their latest collection, the Makeup Art Collection. It originally came out with the Alexander McQueen collection. The color is called Irises, according to the NYX website it is a Matte/Shimmer. It is mostly matte like Haunting but has a few specks of shimmer in it. It actually has more color payoff than its MAC counterpart and it is a lot cheaper. Who says you can't be fabulous on a budget?

MAC's Makeup Artist Colletion

MAC has just come out with their MAC collection. I know weird, huh! But this collection is chock full of bright colors. If I had the money right now I would buy a lot of the colors that came out. This has to be best collection because this is my personality if it were a MAC collection. It has insane purples, bright colored eyeliners, gorgeous pigments, and to die for glitters. I saw a couple videos on YouTube and I am totally smitten on this collection. So if you have the money to splurge on this collection you should totally go and buy it now before the products are long gone.

Fall Trends

Fall trends for the season will be more natural looking eyebrows, going more towards tinted moisturizer rather than a heavy coverage foundation and more of a contoured look, and more earthy tones for the eyes, going for more of the browns, emerald and forest greens, and gold and bronze colors. Grey smokey eyes and kohl lined eyes will be the go to for fall. There is also an exaggeration on black and grey for eyes and nails, even to go as far as to go on your lips. Also there is inspiration from the flapper era with bold red lips, going from vibrant red shades to plum lips. There will also be a big comeback for 80's makeup styles, drawing inspiration from Cyndi Lauper and the Robert Palmer Girls from the "Addicted to Love" video. Also Hair trends are elegant updos and tousled buns, big 80's hair, punky pompadours, and mordern twists on the ponytail.

I got permission from MissChievous to embed her video on my blog. I love the look she came up with and it is totally what will be in for the Fall Makeup trends.



I would like to thank MissChievous again for allowing me to add this video to my blog.
