MAC Chill

macchill2

This week there’s a new collection at MAC locations nationwide and it’s giving me the shivers. Haha.

CHILL is a collection of cool-toned shades full of shimmer and opalescent pearl that’ll give your winter look a bit of iciness. (Warm is boring, girls.)

In this collection, I’m most excited about the new Penultimate Eye Liner, a permanent liquid pen liner that is great for creating a precise cat eye and/or lining false lashes.

Here’s what else is in this collection:

Lipglass

Janey reviews MAC Dame Edna Collection

So, you all know that these Janey videos are purely gratuitous, right?

Please don’t think I actually want you to take beauty advice from a six year old. (Especially one wearing a blonde wig!)

This video is particularly funny around the one-minute mark where she tells you that DAME EDNA IS REALLY A BOY. Also, I need to have a talk with her about all that finger snapping. The child clearly thinks she runs the show.

The products from the MAC Dame Edna collection that Janey is wearing are:

  • Wisteria Eye Trio Includes Fineshine (L), Wisteria (V), Divine Night (V)
  • Lipglass in Hot Frost

Enjoy!

NEW Chanel Sublimage Texture Universelle Cream

I haven’t been shy about professing my love for Chanel Sublimage here on this website (see my reviews here, here and here), so you can imagine how delighted I am that a baby sister has been born.

A lighter version of the original Sublimage Essential Regeneraging Cream (now called Texture Supreme Essential Regenerating Cream) is debuting next month and it’s every bit as good as the original. Sublimage Texture Universelle Essential Regenerating Cream has a silky texture and lightweight formula that is a nice balance to the richer, creamier Texture Supreme.

I got my hands on a sample and have been using it for the last two weeks and love how it absorbs quickly yet leaves my skin feeling hydrated all day. If only it had SPF, this would be perfect in every way.

Chanel Sublimage Texture Universelle Essential Regenerating Cream is available beginning January 2009 at department and specialty stores and online at chanel.com.
