Hot Mess Monday - Stacy Haiduk

I have no idea who this chick is but her name is Stacy Haiduk and she is on The Young and the Restless. Anyway, Stacy decided to wear this get up to the Daytime Emmy Awards. Clearly she is missing a lot of brain cells. At first I thought this was a real cat and I got really angry, but then I realized that it wasn't and started to feel really sorry for Stacy because she must have major brain issues.

No person in there right mind would do something like this. She is crying out for attention. I don't know what else to say.

Crazy @!%&*!

Multi-tasking MAC Products

I love products that are multi use, MAC seems to have many of those. There are four products that I particularly love that have multiple uses: Fix+, eyeshadow, clear lipglass, and Mineralize Skinfinish.

Fix +

This is truly a wondrous product. It is a vitamin and mineral infused spray. It also contains green tea, chamomile, cucumber and the fresh scent of Sugi. This is amazing used on bare skin as a refresher or a toner. It can also be used to set make up and to remove a powdery look. Also, it can be used for applying make up and giving it a more intensified look. After loading your brush with eyeshadow or blush, spray Fix+ and then apply to your face. Another amazing use for this product is on your hair. Yup, spray it in your hair to freshen it up!

Eyeshadow

Have you every thought of using eyeshadow as blush? It obviously won't work with all colours, but have you ever come across and eyeshadow and thought - this would look great on my cheeks!? I can't take credit for this discover. My friend Kim suggested that I use MAC Cosmetics Expensive Pink eyeshadow as a blush and it looked amazing! I now use it more on my cheeks then I do on my eyes!

Clear Lipglass

Apply it on your lips for extra shine, but apply it on your bare eyelids and get a super sexy naked look without trying. I love love this!!!

Mineralize Skinfinish

I love Soft and Gentle Mineralize Skinfinish. Sometimes I apply it all over my face to get a nice glow, or certain parts of my face to highlight. I recently swiped it over my eyelids and brow bone and loved it! It's great for mornings when I don't want to put too much effort into doing my make up and it also works perfectly for going out combined with my other eyeshadows.

If you have any products that have multiple uses, let me know! I would love to hear from you!

Hot Mess Monday - Sandra Bullock

If you haven't already seen this hot mess - here it is...Sandra Bullock decided to wear this confusing piece at the All About Steve premiere in Hollywood. This "fashion forward" piece is created by Lanvin. It seems as though she decided to stuff a dress into a a skirt, and ultimately failed, judging by that red piece of fabric cascading down one side. The black booties seem pretty off as well. Her hair...oh boy...her hair...I'm just going to assume that she did it herself, because it looks like crap.

Happy Monday!!

Giorgio Armani Beauty Manta Ray Fall 2009 Collection

At Giorgio Armani Beauty, the new fall dress code is “Greige.” Subtle but distinct tones accentuate a deep smoky eye contrasted with a fresh, luminous complexion and a muted, but intense lip color.

Manta Ray Eye Shadow Palettes: The star product of the season is the eye duo palette, which is dressed with an exotic Manta Ray pattern. Inspired by the precious and luxurious materials used in Giorgio Armani fashion accessories, these eye shadow palettes offer a beautiful selection of color harmonies inspired by nature. The collection features subtle hues that offer a new take on the timeless color “Greige,” created by Giorgio Armani.

No. 1 – charcoal and Greige, the ultimate eye shadow combination for this season’s smoky eye

No. 2 – deep ocean blue and intense ocean green
No. 3 – pale lilac grey and luminous fuchsia
No. 4 – light blue stone and sandy beige
No. 5 – shimmering lilac pearl and pale green pearl

Armani Liquid Silk Eye Liners in matte charcoal grey No.1 or midnight metallic blue No.2 contrast the softer Greige tones with a smooth high precision stroke. The formula, which contains micro dispersed waxes and micro-fil polymers, boosts the deep intense color and ensures a long-lasting, quick-drying application. The brush on this is super-fine and the colors are rich and pigmented.

Armani Silk Lipstick in this season’s must-have shade No.92 accentuates the natural lip color, keeping the focus on the eyes. The grey-blue tones in this soft plum lipstick add intensity to the lip without giving a dark contract, the new alternative to beige. The Armani Silk lipstick formula dresses the lips with a hydrating and silky veil. Specific oils allow the shade to reveal intense and radiant color, resulting in a luminous blush on the lips.

Eyes to Kill Mascara - Dress the eye with powerful, plush, voluminous lashes. Fine, fluid Microfil technology creates intensely captivating lash texture. Micro-waxes combined with a fineness agent allow for smooth and easy application, revealing weightless volume and length. Right now, this is my must-have mascara.

The Giorgio Armani Beauty Fall 2009 Collection is available for a limited time online and at selected fine department stores, including Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdales.

Smashbox High Definition Dual Finish Micro Powder

Smashbox High Definition Dual Finish Micro Powder is the first of it's kind. First off, it is SPF 15 which is great. Secondly, it is a translucent, oil-absorbing powder that lets you decide between three different finishes. Select the "matte" finish to absorbs shine, select "luminous" for a glow, or select "mix" to get the best of both! This is also great for touch ups on the go, because the brush locks so you don't have to worry about it spilling all over your bag. Love it!
