The Weekly Roundup: Posts You Might Have Missed - Makeup and Beauty Blog

Rise and shine, morning time celebrity. 🙂 What's shakin' out yonder way? Anything new to report? How's your weekend coming along? Mine's been a restful one so far, more out of necessity than design. No laundry, no business firm piece of work, no big projects. Simply lots of yummy nutrient (had thai takeout terminal night), tv and Tabs. Today I'thousand looking forward to making homemade strawberry ice cream for the first time… I'll let you know how information technology turns out.

Wasn't this an effing fantastic week for makeup? It was downright amazing! The hits merely kept coming, one after some other. I can't remember the terminal time I was this inspired by so many different products from different companies. Benefit blew me away with the Annie and Maggie Collection palettes, but that wasn't all; Chanel rocked my world, repeatedly, with everything I saw this week from Les Contrastes de Chanel.

So what were your favorite new products of the week? Hmm… That's a tough one for me this time, but I'll say the new Rouge Coco Lipstick in Chalys for lips; for eyes, the Chanel Enigma Eyeshadow Quad; and for overall face up — now THAT'south a tough one — it'south a tossup between the Benefit Annie and Maggie Collection palettes. They're both so pretty!

THE CHANEL LES CONTRASTES DE CHANEL
ROUGE COCO LIPSTICKS

Dagnabbit, Coco! Why y'all gotta make me fall in love with you over and over again? Your three new limited edition (I just found out these shades are being added to the permanent line, huzzah!) Rouge Coco Hydrating Creme Lip Colour Lipsticks ($xxx each) from the fall 2010 Les Contrastes de Chanel Collection sing a summery song of seduction, and yous know what? I'1000 totally listening.

Each fall dark, serious shades and heavy matte textures ingather upwards on makeup counters, and then the pink, peach and coral lippies in Les Contrastes are welcome breaks from the norm. The colors make me think of summer sunsets, similar the one I missed final night!

Chalys, the shimmery coral, adds a bright but non overwhelming pop of color to pouts; while the other two shades offer sophisticated options for nude lip looks. Endeavour Chintz (the soft peach) if yous clothing warm-toned shades well, or Rose Dentelle (the cool baby pink) if cooler colors suit y'all meliorate. Read more…

BENEFIT SCENE QUEEN
THE ANNIE Drove PALETTE

Then in that location I was, minding my own beeswax, when I caught Tabs staring at his reflection in the big @ss mirror that comes with the new Benefit Scene Queen The Annie Collection palette ($38). I call back he might have been checking his eyeliner (cat'south got wicked tightlining skillz) or plotting makeup larceny…

I swear, Benefit must have a soothsayer on staff because they always know what I'm craving. The particular mix of dramatic neutrals in this stash of goodies for eyes, lips, face up and cheeks is, again, right upwardly my alley. The second of two new limited edition Sephora exclusives from Benefit Tendency Makeup Artists Annie and Maggie (peep the other palette, Sunday Funday, hither), Scene Queen's big drama is designed to steal scenes (and the limelight).

The palette comes with all the fixin's for some serious smokey eyes, amid other looks, with makeup in shades of blue, gray, biscuit and blackness, along with a pop of juicy coral for cheeks and lips, yum! Read more…

CHANEL ENIGMA
EYESHADOW QUAD

At that place's something to exist said for tradition. Take fall makeup, for instance, and the Chanel Enigma Eyeshadow Quad ($56). Although I love that Chanel went totally renegade with the summery Rouge Coco lipsticks and Glossimer lipglosses from the Les Contrastes collection, it's also kind of comforting to get seasonal products that typify the season, ya know?

The moment I saw this quad, the beginning affair I thought was, "What's the connexion betwixt these shades and the new Rouge Coco colors?" I didn't immediately run into how/if the four shimmery shades of peach, chocolate gray, violet greyness and nighttime plum were related to the lippies, merely I think I'm beginning to sympathize.

Doesn't the shimmery peach shadow in the quad wait related to Rouge Coco lipstick in Chintz? I feel like its golden pink undertones also play off the iridescence in the Petite Peche, Coral Beloved and Rose Dilemma Glossimers. Read more…

NYX Powder Chroma
IN RED AND PINCHED

Bargain hunting, blush loving NYX fans, lend me your ears (and cheeks!). Now, for the mere price of 2 scoops of fancy shmancy gelato, you lot tin gull (nearly) 2 more than iconic blushes from MAC and NARS.

Meet Crimson and Pinched, the new summertime additions to the NYX Powder Chroma line ($6 each).

Pinched, a shimmery golden slap-up pink, reminds me of a slightly pinker version of NARS Orgasm, while matte Red could pass for a clone of MAC Frankly Cerise.

The newcomers are like summer salsa, spicing up NYX's already wide range of blushes with a price betoken bound to make beauty bargainistas wanna dance! Read more…

THE Dazzler OF
TRUE BLOOD

In HBO's True Blood, the vampires have come out of the proverbial closet. In the show, which centers around the mortal and immortal residents of a town chosen Bon Temps, Louisiana, the generally police-constant humans, vamps and other preternatural citizens alive alongside each other, doing their best to bide past their natures while following the rules of Southern decorum.

Of class, drama ensues, and that'due south what makes the evidence so fun to watch!

Lafayette Reynolds, the flamboyant melt/road crew worker/man of several questionable illegal pursuits, is 1 of my favorite residents of Bon Temps. How many guys can work lace and rhinestones and still look tough at the same time? Not many, I contend!

A sage of unique style, Lafayette has taught me and then very many timeless makeup and dazzler lessons. Read more…

BENEFIT SUNDAY FUNDAY
THE MAGGIE COLLECTION

The situation: The My So-Called Life marathon you hosted terminal night was a Big success, just it went all dark long, and now you have simply 10 minutes to do your makeup earlier you meet your Jordon Catalano lookalike for brunch. What to practise! what to do!

Yes, it's totally unfair that dudes get to just pull on a plaid shirt and call themselves "date prepare." Life is fell that style, merely give thanks goodness for palettes that facilitate fast makeup like the new Benefit Sunday Funday The Maggie Collection palette for optics, lips, face and cheeks ($38).

This cutie pie (isn't the packaging to dice?) comes with a nice mix of neutrals and informal pops of color perfect for like shooting fish in a barrel, natural-looking makeup looks in almost no time flat.

Exclusive to Sephora, information technology'southward one of two new limited edition palettes by Benefit Tendency Artists Maggie and Annie Danielson, the daughters of co-founder Jean Ford. The color palettes are the offset from Maggie and Annie, simply they won't be the last, as the duo also plans to launch a Benefit holiday kit and future seasonal kits going forward. Read more than…

BOBBI Chocolate-brown
DENIM & ROSES PALETTE

Right afterward trying on the new Denim & Rose palette, I peeled off my stretchy yoga pants and squeezed into my favorite skinny jeans because it just felt correct.

It's rock n' roll meets roses today with this palette for sooty, smokey eyes (for your inner bad gal) and soft lips and cheeks (for your angelic side). I LOVE the mix of edgy — well, edgy for Bobbi — night navy, greyness and neutral shades for the eyes, and the ultra femme pinks for lips and cheeks.

The 9-piece palette rides onto counters next month as office of the Denim & Rose makeup drove for fall 2010, and well-nigh of its colors are new. The sole exception, Navajo eyeshadow, also stars in Bobbi'south permanent drove.

I really appreciate when makeup lines create palettes from scratch with fresh colors, rather than recycling stuff that's already part of their permanent line. I don't mind occasional re-promotes, but big ups to BB and her crew for keeping u.s. on our toes. Read more…

BECCA BOMBORA
PALETTE

If the best things in life are gratis, why the heck does the Becca Bombora palette accept to cost $65 bones?

Even though the five-piece limited edition summer palette for eyes, lips and cheeks costs an arm and a leg, I gotta say, she's one swish lady. Drugstores everywhere may curse her being, just all the way from her packaging to her pigments, fine textures and blendability, Bombora looks and feels luxe.

That said, you may accept heard this color story (or i like information technology) before. With its teal, peach, coral and ii golds, the palette might remind yous of MAC To The Beach. Similar, if MAC To The Beach were a carefree barefoot surfer daughter who lives out of her car and chases big waves up and downwards the coast, Bombora would be her more than refined older sis who only stays at five-star seaside resorts.
