MAC Cosmetics & Gareth Pugh

"MAC Cosmetics is to launch a new make-up collection in collaboration fashion designer Gareth Pugh. While full details about the new collection are being kept under wraps until closer to the November 2011 launch date, MAC have confirmed that the Gareth Pugh make-up range will include a number of colour cosmetics and accessories, all housed in special packaging created by the designer. Having supported Gareth Pugh since the British designer began showing on the international fashion circuit, the new MAC collaboration marks a pinnacle in the brand's seven-year relationship - one that will be celebrated with a glamorous cocktail party in New York next month. We're hoping to see Pugh's trademark goth-glam aesthetic translated into vampy metallics and inky hues."

M.A.C. Cosmetics

My new must have buy is from the “SURF, BABY! LIPSTICK” collection.  The write up goes like this “Surf-cultured. Shine-right. Boldly floral sun-bight or delicately nude-y, these lipsticks wear their summer stripes with the cool grace of a real surfer dude. Add their white casing and there’s no doubt summer starts here…limited addition.”



Colours I picked up were Naturally Eccentric, a creamy white nude and Hibiscus a bright orange coral. I have a feeling the Hibiscus will be the sell out colour of this line. It really brightens up a face and can be worn on just about anyone. The nude is a little harder but looks great with a perfect summer tan. 



Oribe

Oribe
This is a name you will hear a lot over here. Not too long ago the spa started to carry Oribe's products and I am really excited to get everyone hooked on them. This brand is a prime example of great product that is also in a great package.  When it is up on the shelves people are drawn to it, they want to touch the sleek bodies of the shampoos, conditioners and sprays. They pick up the jars and boxes.  They have already started to sell the product to themselves.


And then of course we use it. Then they are hooked and there is no turning back.  

3 favorite products:

1- The Foundation Mist. This a great product to bring in your bag every where you go as a style refresher.  When the hair is wet you can use it as detangler that also builds shine and anti-static. 

2- Gold Pomade-   Add some of this into your do. The texture of the product allows for the sexiest of styles and the gold adds the shine. It is not the most complex product but it is 100% one of the best finishing touches you can offer your client.  Make sure to warn them to undress/dress with care in the gold has a bit of a midas touch.

3-Dry Texturizing Spray.  This us one of my OMG products. I love the dry hair spray to take with on shoots. It is what is needed to switch up a look half way through the day.  Unlike “dry shampoos” it doesn’t leave a powdery residue.  It smoothes and nourishes the hair while protecting the colour, and not to forget the great shine it leaves on the hair. A must have product.

Swirls Cupcakes




This is a great family cupcake shop that I love to recommend to all of my friends. Mom loves the “Take-a-Momint” Cupcake and for me, the “Choc Therapy” Cupcake. One of my regular clients goes right for the “Lemon Luau” Cupcake and one of my models goes for “Strawberry Fields”. The point is there is something for everyone and not one of them tastes like store bought cupcakes, you know the kind I am talking about.  So next time you are in the area pop in and see the selection. Once you have tried one you will understand why the girls and I get giddy whenever anyone mentions the place.
