Each new shade is extremely concentrated with brown, green, blue and plum pigments so the mascara instantly coats the lashes with intense color.

KHOL PENCIL
These soft, creamy pencils have an extremely blendable texture and are now available in pearly deep blue (#8K), matte mocha brown (#9K) and pearly black purple (#10K). Khol Pencils can be used to line the eyes for a more intense, striking look, and can easily be smudged for the perfect smoky eye. Additionally, the soft texture makes them ideal for rimming the inner eye. Apply above and/or below the lash line and blend to create a pigment-rich smoky eye.

• Kohl Pencil #4K – intense pearly green
• NEW Kohl Pencil #8K– pearly deep blue
• NEW Kohl Pencil #9K– matte mocha brown
• NEW Kohl Pencil #10K– pearly black purple

Also new for this summer from M.U.F.E, Lip Line Perfector.

New Lip Line Perfector is formulated with a mix of beeswax and evaporating oils that form a protective barrier to keep lipstick inside the lip line, as well as a film forming polymer which helps fix color to the lips for long lasting results. Additionally, Ceramide 3 improves lip firmness and prevents moisture loss, while silicone and high molecular hyaluronic salt fill in fine lines and improve elasticity.
The Lip Line Perfector can be worn as a base under any kind of lip product and with any shade.

I Forgot the Shoes From Alexander McQueen's Fall 2011 RTW

Seriously, I'm speechless...  You have to have mad skills to walk in these shoes...  Me? I trip wearing tennis shoes... Enough said.

Alexander McQueen Fall 2011 "Ice Queen and her Court"

Titled "The Ice Queen and her court”, McQueen's Creative Director Sarah Burton presented a couture collection. Burton's play between "hard" and "soft" was done mostly in black and white.  The stunning details were boutiful and included a skirt and top made from mosaic of broken bone plates fired together, fur lined hems, pleats formed with metal zippers that partially zip open, and a gown woven from strips of silk.  Burton's collection also included harnesses and leather made for bondage-like, tough-luxe pieces that served to counterbalance the more feminine look, notably the white gowns that closed out the show.

Chanel Fall/Winter 2011 - Illusions d'Ombre de Chanel

Photo by Vincent Lappartient

Of all the Fall/Winter 2011 collections launching next month, this one takes the cake for me.  I'm really excited to get my hands on this collection.  Chanel Illusions d'Ombre de Chanel, is set to release July 2011, however, my sources tells me that they may be launching even earlier!  For Fall/Winter 2011, Chanel seems to be taking the same pages as her cosmetic counter parts with the pale nude face, but takes it even further with her eye shadows.  Illusions d'Ombre is going towards a more dark smokey metallic look with the eyes, which works for Fashion Runway trends.  After all, a diva should stand apart from the others right?

I hope my eagerness doesn't get the best of me!  Check out more information on the collection at, http://www.chanel.com/.
