Everything about Guerlain’s popular Terracotta Collection symbolizes excellence.

Maybe it’s because our mother’s Shalimar was so revered when we were growing up — sitting high up on a bathroom shelf, used only by our mother for the most special of special occasions (we were only allowed to sniff from afar) — but we have a certain unhealthy respect for Guerlain products. Guerlain can almost do no wrong (we say almost because, remember Mahora?).

In the land of Makeup Bag, Guerlain bronzers are the King of the Hill — second to none– and now, with the Terracotta Collection 2007, they have taken bronzing one step further.

Guerlain Terracotta Spray Powder!

It’s like airbrushing a fine mist of bronzer onto your skin, leaving you with an even, radiant glow.

At $54 for 2.5 oz, it seems a little pricey, but a little goes a long long way. One bottle will last you forever.

Have a happy and safe Memorial Day Weekend!

Here comes another gorgeous golden color collection for summer. This one is from False Eyelash King Shu Uemura.

With bronze and gold liquid highlighters,  a warm bronzing powder, and an array of lipcolors from their Rouge Unlimited Beige Collection, this summer with Shu will be golden indeed.

See the entire Golden Summer Collection here.

Celebrity makeup artist Carol Shaw, creator of LORAC Cosmetics, knows exactly how to make a girl feel glamorous.

Her newest palette, LORAC Caribbean Crush (a Sephora exclusive) has the most exquisite shade of dark brown eyeshadow under its lid (the picture here does not do it justice). With flecks of gold to give it incredible depth, Dune is the shade to have for sultry summer eyes.

While we think this palette is worth the $30 for Dune alone, you’ll also get two more eyeshadows in Island (gold) and Beachwood (copper) along with a bronzer, powder blush and illuminating highlighter.

Don’t even consider cocktails at sunset without this must-have palette.

Thanks, Carol!

We can always count on MAC to deliver us some gorgeous, creative, eye feast when it comes to their ads and this image for their new Sunstrip collection is no exception.

Those clever clever MAC people had us going “Is that…no..is it?” as we swooped in for a closer look at the model. Genius, no?
