This may well be the decade of the bristle. Or the decade of the eye lash - you decide. From Latisse to Clinique’s Supercurl Mascara which I stash under my bed at night in case some one decides to rob me, I’ve tried countless lash...

Of all the MAC collections I’ve seen this past year, Liberty of London had me at Freedom. The makeup, the packaging — everything was so elegant, over the top, 1970’s flower power mixed with elegant Briticism and a carefree joie de vivre (oops, that was...

Clarins doing makeup for the Summer? I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read about it. The name, Instant Sunlight, is particularly clever and makes me think of lazy, languid beach-filled days on Fire Island and the Hamptons. The mochas and browns in the Clarins Instant Sunlight Makeup Eyeshadow Palette have summer spice written all over them: The collection also has a Smoothing Luminating Compact in Natural and Bronze: There are three Click & Gloss Lip Glazes in Vanilla, Coral & Cinnamon:

I am a die-hard eyeliner junkie. I have jetted out the door, typical “New York Minute” style, wearing no makeup except my eyeliner (which to me - is like wearing a good outfit and killer shoes). So, naturally, when my dear friend Karen Robinovitz unveiled a bevy of new products to the world at large on HSN, I simply had to have the Lashionista-Modelista Mascara-Eyeliner combo in After Dark. Purple Lab Lashionista Modelista Swatches This is a magical wand because it combines the Bonnie and Clyde, the Bert and Ernie, the Regis and Kelly of eye products: liner and mascara.  It’s such a great pocketbook friendly wand and it could well be my Nimbus 2000. It retails for $32.50.The Modelista eyeliner contains sparkles made with real diamond dust, so it’s glittery, date-friendly and so subtly glowing that your eyes will feel fairy lit and special. Here are three beautiful ways to wear your Lashionista Modelista (shown in After Dark). Purple Lab Lashionista Modelista Swatches Wear Modelista as a thick liner and coat your lashes with two coats of Lashionista. Line your eyes once (on top only) with Modelista, and close your eyes and leave for a minute to dry. Then reapply the liner again for a thicker look. Here, I am wearing the Spring Forecast 4 Eyeshadow palette by MAC with shades Manila Paper all over the eyes and brow bone, Flip on the inner corner of the eye, and Aztec Paper on the outer crease of the eye.

Casting pearls before swine may be a past time that Guerlain enjoys doing on a frequent basis, but I must confess that the Summer 2010 collection of the Guerlain Meteorites Perles is luxurious, eye-catching and delicate at the same time. Guerlain Meteorites Perles Summer 2010 Guerlain Meteorites Perles Summer 2010 The Guerlain Meterorites Perles Makeup collection houses the colorful makeup pearls in a rose-motif silver box. They come in three shades: Guerlain Meteorites Perles Summer 2010 Guerlain Meteorites Perles Summer 2010 Guerlain Meteorites Perles Summer 2010 1. Rose Tint 2. Beige Tint 3. Gold Tint

MAC Cosmetics’ Riveting Collection ($12 each) had me from “Hello” because of its serious metallic components. But most of all, I love the three nail lacquers from the collection, which are matte in finish. I simply love matte - I would say I love matte more than a shiny finish, and these shades are wearable with almost any outfit. The only caveat? Be careful how you apply them. These are some seriously thick polishes and a few coats will do the trick, but the way you apply them will really show (not so much for the Studded shade below, but for the other two, the way you apply the polish and the direction of your strokes will be palpable). This shade, Black Enough? is a rich black that is best left applied by a pro. This is a decent swatch but it took me quite a while to get it nice and even. If you want a richer, deep sooty black, then apply three coats. MAC Riveting Nail Lacquer Swatches

Naturally inspired, yet EFFECTIVE cosmetics are really as hard to find as the Pink Panther diamond. Trust me, I know — having ransacked countless drugstore and high-end department stores in the hope of finding concealers and foundations made with mostly natural ingredients and ending up leaving as disappointed as a kid who didn’t see Mickey Mouse at Disney World. There is a ton of BODYCARE that is organic and natural and most of those products are very effective, but we’re talking about the foundation of your beauty: the foundations, brushes, concealers, primers. Ever since I got my hands on a perfectly movie-star worthy concealer from Alison Raffaele Cosmetics at The Makeup Show New York, I’ve been hooked to the brand like cat to catnip.
