And This Is The Money Maker

Do you remember my favorite ever contestant from Project Runway, Mr. Chrisitan Siriano? Of course you do! His dedication to his hairstyle alone made me a fan.


HE FLAT IRONS THE ENTIRE FLAWLESSNESS! HELLO!

But then, recently... he lost me...

To my shagrin, Victoria's Secret announced they were launching a Christian Siriano line of make up and I was all "Oh HELL to the NO, THAT IS NOT OK. STICK TO CLOTHES YOU LITTLE MUNCHKIN!"


Well, his peeps sent me a package of said make up, and I basically got my snotty little butt handed to me on a silver platter.


Little did I know, our fabulous little Christian was a make up artist before he was a clothing designer, and there is no other way to say this without being cliche... his make up is FIERCE!

The eye colors are beautiful and highly pigmented. The texture is a dream. My fav eye colours are "Oasis" (the beautiful blue you see here), "Sandstorm" (a gorgeous pinkish burgundy), and FAV FAV FAV is Gilded Fierce (a smoky black with beautiful gold shimmer)...

The lip glosses are divine. I've always found VS lipgloss to taste and feel yucky but apparently someone from MAC has come in and revamped the line... These glosses glide on like a dream, don't feel sticky at all, and are taste-free! I've tried a gorgeous coral pink called "Sublime", a shimmery nude called "Embrace", and a hot mama night out on the town burgundy red called "Chic". Love Love!

They also sent me a beautiful Highlighter Bronzer trio called Sunspell Bronze that's nothing short of amazing, but nothing will ever replace my Tom Ford for Estee Lauder brozner (sorry boo!)

They didn't send me the eyeliner or brushes which is like... COME ON! I'm the eyeliner queen!!! I MUST try immediately!!!!

Christian Siriano for Victoria's Secret will be available this fall!

P.S. The packaging is so chic it reminds me of the beautiful make up my Granny always had (and that's the highest compliment I can give!)... The only other make up to make me feel that way lately was Tom Ford's line for Estee Lauder.

Brenda Dickson powders VERY VERY good!


I haven't heard anyone use the word "rouge" in awhile.

Here Comes The Sun

The new issue of Visionaire is SOLAR POWERED!

These black and white images come to light in vivid colour when exposed to direct sunlight!



Ok, that is just too cool. What will they come up with next???

The Big Picture

Here's a few reasons why I always carry a vast array of nail colours to every shoot I go to...









Unfortunately when I upload pictures to blogger, they get the colour sucked right out of them, but I think you get the point...

Beat Your Heart Out

Brody Dalle is in Spinnerette. She used to be in The Distillers. I've been a fan of hers for awhile, and I get to work with her sometimes.

I found this shoot we did with Chapman Baehler on the internet this morning.





She rules.

I'm Still Standing

Early in the month Fashionista posted that Stila had gone bankrupt. I didn't want to report the news since I had no first hand knowledge of it, but their website looked ominous and none of my emails to Stila pr were being returned. *sad face*


Well, today Fashionista has word that Stila has been purchased! That's such a relief! I was set to scoop up all of the Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer I could find!


I also hope this means the launch of their winter lippy "Lovely" (potentially the worlds most perfect lip colour EVER!) won't be affected!

I've been daydreaming about this neon pink for months, and thought I might never get my hands on it!!!
