MAC - Red She Said Mineralize Eye Shadow Trio
Okay you have got to try this new Mineralize Eye Shadow from the Red She Said collection, it is amazing. Not only are the mineral colors vibrant and rich but down the center of each shadow is a glitter streak that I just love. It allows you to create a really WOW glitter look, a very subtle glitter effect or no glitter if you prefer. I really like the flexibility that this shadow gives you. I picked up Outspoken which is 2 purple shades and I can't wait to get Interview and Danger Zone.

MAC - Pearlglide Eye Liner
One thing I don't leave the house without is eye liner if I don't have at least a swipe or two on I feel washed out and bland. So I'm always on the hunt for my next favorite eye liner and I really found a new favorite when I picked up MAC's Pearlglide Eye Liner from the Suite Array collection. It has a pearlized metallic sheen that looks amazing and it glides on so smoothly no tugging or pulling. I picked up Rave a rich gorgeous purple color and Bankroll a bright green. I've been wearing them non stop since I got them.

MAC Ungaro - Flower Mist Dew Beauty Powder
I just got this MAC Ungaro Flower Mist Dew Beauty Powder and it's a great face pick me up. After you apply this Beauty Powder your face has a glow that makes you look refreshed. I've been throwing it in my bag and applying it in the afternoon. It's a very subtle effect which I like. The color will work for everyone it's a sheer warm pink color. It's going to be perfect for the long, long cold drab winter ahead (can you tell I love winter?) to give your face a warm glow. Of course it's a limited edition in case your interested in picking one up.

MAC - Passionately Red Lipstick Compact
Tonight at my local MAC store they had a special holiday collection preview mixer featuring the Passionately Red/Viva Glam collections. Needless to say I was there along with lots of other MAC addicts looking for a fix. Of course I wanted to buy it all but unfortunately my husband told me he'd divorce me if I did. Anyway I did pick up the Viva Glam Lipstick Compact in Cool Pink, which includes a light and a dark pink shade along with a gloss. There are also 3 other lipstick compacts Cool Lips, Warm Lips and Coral Lips. All proceeds from the purchase of Cool Lips and Warm Lips goes to charity so you can feel good about buying them. All of these compacts are really cool looking as well with a bright red jewel in the middle and a snake skin look to the red metal case. There are also some limited edition eye shadow pallets that are amazing. The whole collection will be coming to your local MAC store soon.

Chanel - Haute Chocolate
As soon as I spotted Haute Chocolate in Chanel's new holiday collection I couldn't wait to get it, well today I did. The first thing I did as soon as I got home (well almost the first) was give myself a manicure and pedicure. And the color is amazing (I knew it would be) it's a chocolate brown with a subtle hint of gold running through it. I'm not sure if I like it better on my toes or my fingers. I was going to take a picture but I could not find the camera I think the kids borrowed it and forgot to put it back, now there is a surprise! Anyway if you are a brown lover you need to try this polish it's available right now at your local Chanel counter, I think you'll love it too. You can also check out the rest of the Chanel Holiday Collection while you are there they have some awesome eye shadows that I can't wait to get my hands on.
