Want hot and healthy lips? Sure, why not! I purchased the Tarte Holiday Lip Gloss set from last year’s collection and I absolutely loved it. I really don’t need any more lipstick, but maybe YOU do! Since the gloss set was so fabulous, I can only imagine that this lipstick set is going to be just as good.
This Lip Couture set is a Beauty.com exclusive and will not be sold in any stores. ($32) Click here to purchase.

For those who are ready to move on beyond the Hello Kitty launch and onto something a little sweeter, take a look at this new collection from MAC called SugarSweet.
I think the most intriguing items from the limited line include the TriColour Lipglasses, which are three stacked gloss colors within one tube of gloss. With each application of the gloss, the colors will mix more and more. I also like the white lipstick called “Bubbles” which is a shimmery warm white, perfect for that 1960′s mod look.

Wow..there comes a time when I really crave a new lip color. Call me crazy.. but after seeing the new promotion for MAC cosmetics Lustre Twins, I am having one of those lip color cravings as I type this!
Totally freaking awesome ad , right? Totally reminds me of those 90s ads with Shalom Harlow:
Yeah.. Dita Von Teese wishes she was half this hot.
Anyway, Shalom was notorious for her perfect red-painted lips and she was known as “the best walk in the biz”. She had the best catwalk strut the modeling world has ever known. Where the HELL is she now?? I have no idea, I must Wikipedia the bitch up and see what she’s doing.
Yes.. so these MAC lip colors are Pro Longwear.. which means it’s that stuff you paint on and it doesn’t come off. Well, out of all of those “long-wear” lip colors I’ve tried, I really do like MAC’s the best.
Here’s what MAC has to say about it:
Nine new shades of Pro Longwear Lustre Lipcolour featuring an exclusive sheer pigment top coat, with three Nail Lacquers. Separate if you must, but these Lustre Twins shouldn’t live without each other. Codependent couture colour and shine starts here!
What is also a cool tip about these Pro Longwear colors, you can actually use them on your EYES. Yup. You heard it here. I went to a MAC training class a year ago and we learned about doing these types of dramatic runway looks, and using Pro Longwear on your eyes was one of those tips.. but you will need a really oily makeup remover to get it off your eyes. Maybe just baby oil. The girl was having a really hard time getting the color off her eyes… but it looked really hot when she had it on. Probably a good idea for a night out clubbing… sweat proof!
Jane Iredale, Bare Escentuals, Pure Minerals, minerals and ground-down rocks popping out of every corner of the world.. and it’s driving me mad! Here are the top reasons why I personally think that minerals belong in your food and not on your face:
1. Dust. I’ve had to keep a can of air in my bathroom just to blow off all the minerals that land on the sink, my shirt, and just about everywhere else. *Aaaachooo!* It also makes me sneeze.
2. Hello, grandma? NO, that’s just me in the mirror, not my 90 year old grandmother. Minerals tend to accentuate lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes. My pores look like giant craters, the moon would be jealous.
3. How dry I am… I have annoying oily skin but I don’t WANT dry skin. Minerals soak up all of my dewiness and leave me with a freaking Sahara desert face.
4. Tapping and swirling.. and swirling some more. I just can’t “buff” this mineral stuff on good enough to look even. Seems like it gets trapped once the cute little Kabuki brush hits the face.
5. Drop it.. you’re screwed. Basically you really can’t travel with it in your purse. The lid can become unscrewed and if you have it open and you accidentally drop it.. POOF.. your beloved powdered mess is all over your dress.
6. Cystic Acne. This ain’t funny. Many people, including myself, have suffered severe cystic acne because of mineral foundation. We are talking scars for life if you don’t get it treated.
Ok, so now that you know why I hate mineral foundation, you may be quite upset when I tell you that I will not review any powdered mineral foundation products (I may do a few liquid mineral reviews) but you will see some really nice reviews for eyeshadow, lipstick, blush, and other reviews for color products made with crushed rocks.
My favorite thing in the world is: a nice mattifying liquid foundation with a pump.. very little or no SPF (I can put my own SPF on, thanks) and I will be reviewing that very little gem called Revlon Colorstay a little bit later. So stay tuned. (No, Colorstay does not have a pump, but I have my own bottle with pump that I pour my foundation into)
