(Mostly because Halloween starts in about a half hour.)

Sephora

First of all, I’m loving the new Sephora Halloween Kit -it’s only $19, and gives all sorts of fabulously Halloween-appropriate looks, all in one box.

The kit has anything you may need to create the look of a doll, fairy, and angel, including: False Eyelashes, Round a Pot in Beach Ball, Glitter Spray in Silver, Slim Eyeliner in Black, Slim Eyeliner in White, and Luminous Glow.

Why is this great? Well, if you are still looking for tips right now, you probably still have no idea what you are going to be tomorrow. You may as well keep your options open! Now lets hope there’s a store close enough for you to do a last-minute mad dash…

“Chrome is cool and icy. It’s a very modern, but still pretty way to illuminate the skin,” Bobbi says.

The Chrome Palette is a very cool way of looking at holiday beauty  – especially for those of us who just aren’t feeling the red and jolly.

It’s very icy and shimmering and  10 eye shadows, 4 lip shades, a Mini Eye Shadow Brush and a Mini Lip Brush.

Chrome lips are part of the collection as well, and include Port Lip Color, Chrome Metallic Lip Color and Plum Pearl Metallic Lip Color – just imagine wearing that on a blustery cold night!

Another I’m excited to try – it’ll be available in November.

But what was also pretty neat was hanging backstage and watching Maybelline make up the faces!

Here’s a list of the products that were used on the models before hitting the runway:

• Maybelline New York Mineral Power Powder Foundation
• Maybelline New York Mineral Power Concealer
• Maybelline New York Mineral Power Blush in Gentle Pink
• Maybelline New York Mineral Power Illuminator
• Maybelline New York Lash Stiletto Mascara
• Maybelline New York Color Sensational Lipstick in Born With It

The hair (which was done by Avon) and makeup all had an 80’s ballerina theme to it – thus the messy bun – which was paired with pretty fierce, yet filled with a feminine edge. It was fun – and a packed house – and I loved it!

I know a lot of you are still new to it, and mineral makeup in general, though.

For you, I recommend you go out immediately and get yourself bareMinerals Newbie Complexion Kit

This kit includes:
- 2 x 0.03 oz shades of bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation
- 0.02 oz bareMinerals Mineral Veil
- 0.01 oz bareMinerals Warmth All-Over Face Color
- Mini Flawless Application Face Brush

Why do you need this?

It’s quite simply a great starter kit, and comes with two shades of foundation, so you can find your perfect match. Why do you want mineral makeup? Well, not only does it not clog your pores in the way liquid might, but it’s a lighter, and yet, even coverage – great anytime, but ideal for summer!

In short: YES. I can honestly say that since switching from heavier liquid foundations to mineral ones, my skin has been reborn, revitalized, and healthier than ever.

This is largely because mineral makeup is made from naturally occurring pigments from the earth. It won’t clog your pores, and thus, you ain’t going to break out from it – making it perfect for light coverage for all types of sensitive skin.

I also love it because it is great for the inner-artist we all have. I love to take different shades of mineral shadow and mix and match it to create new shades! You can totally do this by putting a few drops in the palm of your hand and just mixing it up. Same is true for blushes and bronzers. And, you can use your favorite shadow as a liner too! The possibilities are truly limitless!

And, so, try it now – and if you have any needs for recommendations on brands/products to try, drop me an email any time!

That doesn’t mean it’s not STILL a beauty bag staple!

So, I was very excited to learn about the new Hiss Good Nite lip gloss.
It’s a shimmery pink shade that is delicate but still sexy and has a very kissable peppermint scent: Even the packaging is adorable!

No matter what your hobbies and schedule, a good pink lipgloss is a beauty staple – no matter what brand or style you choose. Just try it, and you’ll see what I mean.

I already have an organizer, but I just decided I will celebrate my upcoming move with an upgrade: Sephora Brand Moroccan Sunrise Lighted Traincase is truly the gorgeous gold standard of makeup cases.

The top has a snap-closet, and when you open it, there’s a  lighted mirror to aid you in your beautifying on the go. It also has a two-part upper tray and two lower drawers – plenty of space even if you are as much of a stuff-hog as me!

Plus, it’s just really pretty – and completely agrees with the overwhelming Bollywood theme in style right now. Why shouldn’t your organizer match its contents?

This is a soft rose toned lipstick with a delicate metallic pearl, and I love it with the spring styles (which includes tons of pink!).

The style of the season embarks on a journey of flesh-toned palettes and free-flowing fabrics. Essie’s new Spring 2009 color collection captures the femininity of the season with a fresh, hopeful attitude.

This season, there was an air of elegant practicality with an emphasis on expertly cut classics. Relaxed trousers and draping dresses were matched with cascading ruffles and comfy knits. The runways were awash in translucent fabrics and grounded hues, and designers encouraged hopefulness with pops of lively colors amidst must-have nudes.

The Essie Spring 2009 collection compliments the season’s dreaminess with a mixed palette of soft red, beige and blue, pinky coral, fuchsia and petal rose – each named to inspire the newness and hopefulness of Spring.

“This was a season of classic hues,” says Essie Weingarten, president and founder of Essie Cosmetics, Ltd. “Last Fall’s potent colors gave way to softer, muted tones for Spring. I created this collection to flatter that feeling of Spring and gave each shade a feel-good name.”

Essie’s Spring 2009 Color Collection:

Eternal Optimist – Spiced Tea Rose

Flawless – Cherry Blossom Pink

Status Symbol – Feisty Hot Pink

One of a Kind – Poppy Red Kiss

Lacquered Up – Red Hot Crimson

Mesmerize – Royal va-va Blue
