I would love to feature a picture of your make up bag contents in my beauty blog. Please email me a picture of your make up bag & contents. Pick out your favorite product and tell me why its your favorite! alaine83@gmail.com
My favorite item from my professional make up kit is my airbrush machine!
I love it because it creates the flawless beautiful skin that we all dream of without the cakey feeling of regular make up. I use the Kett Cosmetics and Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics for my airbrush.

Fashion's Night Out 2011


After last year's craziness with Fashion's Night Out, I picked a few stores to head to this year. It just so happens that I picked Beauty stores b/c as you know, I'm pretty much a product junkie when it comes to make up and skincare. I love to find out what is new and what brands are break through finds.
The break through product I found this evening that is special to Fashion's Night Out is Nars silver eye liner "Via Crispi". I had it on my hand and it is a bright silver. Amazing pigment! This would be a product that is perfect to brighten up the eyes for the holidays, date night, party, special event, etc. Place this eyeliner in the inner corner of your eye for a subtle pop that is not overpowering or too dramatic for day time.

I also stopped in Fresh and VMV Hypoallergenics to check out their products.
Fresh came out with a new lip balm in their Sugar line, appropriately titled Passion. It is a beautiful subtle red that is flattering on most skin tones because it gives just enough flush. How can you not love an addicting lip balm like Sugar and add that with a subtle color. I'm a big fan of tinted lip balms because it is moisturizing and not sticky at all. They have Rose, Plum, and Honey as their Sugar lip balms. You also cannot deny the fact that the packaging of Fresh products is absolutely gorgeous. If you looked in my bathroom, you would see the soap dishes I purchased from Fresh on sale, a bottle of Sugar Lychee fragrance, Sake bath, Sugar Lychee sugarbath cubes...
VMV Hypoallergenics is a fairly new brand for me. I tried the hypoallergenic spray deodrant and it didn't sting my underarms! My underarms are fairly sensitive when it comes to deodrants and the skin gets irritated but this one didn't seem to irritate me so I'm going to try it. I was also curious about the mascara because it smells like pie! The brush looks non-clumpy, I always have my eye out for an awesome mascara that doesn't require me to take a plane trip/train/bus to Canada/Europe/Asia for my beloved Shu Uemura mascaras. So far, I've only found the Origins brand mascara works for me that is available locally in the US. I received the mascara as a free gift last night as part of Fashion's Night Out and can't wait to try it!
