Proenza for MAC?!

Yup! You totally read that correctly, Proenza Schouler has finally come out with a cosmetic line. I couldn't be any more excited than I already am (absolutely adore Proenza!- one designer is from Miami) and can't wait till I get my hands on a few items from this line. Out of all MAC collections this is the one I'm most excited about. I mean, I've been tracking the release of the line for months now when I initially read about it in one of my magazines. The line stands for everything that Proenza is about, fun and sophisticated. Pretty perfect for the summer this year.

 The line debuted on Monday, April 21 for online purchasing only and released to the public in stores today. The lipsticks go for $22 and they come in 4 different shades. Also, the packaging is pretty amazing and a great addition to your makeup bag. Can't wait to play!

POP of Art!

So, I recently bought Bobbi Brown's new lip line called Art Stick. It's an enormous lip pencil that resembles somewhat of NARS lip pencils so naturally I needed to try these. I'm a huge fan of NARS lip pencils so when I heard Bobbi was introducing these to their line I went immediately and bought 2 to try them out.

Rose Brown by Bobbi Brown Art Stick

I opened the packaging and these bad boys are HUGE! And to my surprise they include a sharpener just as big as the pencil with every pencil you buy. I was quite surprised with the quality of Bobbi's lip pencils (I'm a huge fan of NARS lip pencils so I was skeptical I'll admit). They have a smooth semi-matte like texture but not drying in the least! They glide on smooth, don't bleed, and they're long lasting considering the texture. I was quite impressed. FYI: I pair it with a lip liner as it's my own personal preference to give it more structure. I bought the Rose Brown for an everyday wear and the Bright Raspberry which I adore at this moment!

Since it's been the winter, my lips haven't been taken care of like they should be so this pencil is actually heaven. So for those in the colder climates this lip is perfection. You can find these at any participating retail store for $26 a pop.  I found myself surprisingly very much loving these new lippies from Bobbi.  Please let me know how you like them!

Seductively Amazing

The Olsen twins have done it again! When I first read that the twins would be coming out with their own fragrance line under Elizabeth & James, I have to admit I was a bit excited. I've always been a fan of their products (does anyone remember their hair line?!) so naturally when I learned another product would be introduced I wanted it. They launched not one but two fragrances called "Nirvana." The bottle itself is everything. Elizabeth & James screams masculine and femininity all rolled into one so its only natural that the twins created a fragrance to display each of those qualities. 

Say hello to Nirvana Black- Hi gorgeous.

I'm a fan of sandalwood in my perfumes so naturally my first choice was Nirvana Black. Nirvana Black smells of violet, sandalwood, and vanilla giving that sexual mysterious allure. The vanilla is not overpowering and sweet. It just literally screams sexy! I cannot get enough of this smell. This just may be my new favorite fragrance.  Plus, the bottle is just amazing.

 

 The twin to this one is light and the complete opposite. Musky and floral, perfect for the Spring/ Summer. Nirvana White is like the 'good sister' compared to the Black. I'm not really a huge fan of floral scents because they tend to be too floral (think dead roses, yuck) but the White is completely different and I may just end up purchasing the White as a day fragrance. 

The only place selling them is Sephora. Are you the "good sister' or the 'sexual mysterious' kind? 

How gorgeous are they?!
