Rarely do I try a product once or twice and become obsessed. With MAKE UP FOR EVER's new HD Microfinish Blush, however, it was instant love.
MUFE's HD line has received incredible reviews, so when I was sent a tiny sample of shade 3, Truth or Dare, I was eager to try it. I thought that the shade (hot pink) would be too bright, but was pleasantly surprised once it was on my skin. It gave my slightly tanned complexion a pop of color that was really flattering. That's all it took for me to be hooked.
Prescriptives offers the Pink Ribbon Palette for Cheeks and Eye; an all-in-one makeup palette that includes four gorgeous eye colors and 2 cheek colors, presented in a limited-edition Breast Cancer Awareness pink compact.
We were all saddened by the news that the Prescriptives brand would be closing operations next year and the beautiful makeup shades in the Pink Ribbon Palette are just one of the reasons that I will miss it. The eyeshadow and cheek colors are beautiful and very wearable. A $100 value, at $48.50 this palette is a great buy.
Prescriptives will donate $20,000 in connection with North American sales of the PX Pink Ribbon Palette for Cheeks and Eyes to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. You can find this palette at Prescriptives counters in the USA and at www.prescriptives.com.

The new Bobbi Brown Nautical Collection is makeup for summer that is naturally beautiful and easy. It's all about flushed cheeks, sheer-colored lips and clean, defined eyes. I know during the heat and humidity, fussing with makeup is not something I want to do; it's all about simplicity.
Bobbi's new Limited-Edition Sheer Color Cheek Tint gives cheeks a sheer tint of natural color. The translucent formula is lightweight and blends easily into skin. You just swivel up, apply to cheeks, blend and go! Sheer Color Cheek Tint is available in six shades. My favorite? The Sheer Pink; it's perfect for a tanned face. $22.00
Sheer Color Lip Gloss is like taking a lip stain and a gloss and combining them. Sheer Color Lip Gloss has a see-through finish and comes in four sheer shades. My pick is the Marina Pink, which is shown on the model (above). $20.00
Perfectly Defined Mascara also has a unique waterproof
formula that dries quickly, stays on lashes without flaking or smudging
and can be removed with warm water. In my use, it really opens up the
eyes. I've found it to be a workable, buildable mascara that is my new
favorite. $24.00
Bobbi Brown Nautical Collection is available at all Bobbi Brown Counters and at www.bobbibrown.com.
MAC introduces A Rose Romance, a gorgeous limited-edition makeup collection for Summer 09. This colour collection was inspired by roses, an enduring icon of love. The hues are soft, feminine and flirty with a modern feel. While I always look forward to new MACmakeup collections, this one is by far my favorite of the last few releases. Why? The colors are so pretty.
I've been previewing some of the products in the A Rose Romance Collection and I'm loving the Of Summer and Et Tu, Bouquet eyeshadows, the Summer Rose Beauty Powder and the Just a Pinch Gel Blush (don't let the color scare you...it's very natural looking!).
