All I Want for Hanukkah Is...Korres Color Sugar Plums Set
By TheGlamtastic · November 19, 2009 · 0 Comments ·
Korres Sugar Plums Kit $29.50 - http://www.korresusa.com/
Thanksgiving is in a week - OMG! Once the turkey comes and goes, snow will hit the ground and in the blink of an eye it will be Hanukkah, it will be Christmas, it will be holiday, holiday, holiday!
Instead of posting one large gift guide, I've decided to sprinkle in my holiday must-haves from now until Christmas. First on my list is the Korres Sugar Plums Collection. This super chic, festive mini-must-have provides a palette of bold, confident colors and matching tones. This kit includes Plum Lip Butter, Plum Cherry Gloss and the shimmer and spice Plum Sunflower and Evening Primrose Shimmering Eyeshadow.
After a salty meal or too many cocktails, I can't wait to get my hands on Plum Lip Butter. This lightweight balm quickly absorbs into the lips, calming dry, cracked, itchy lips with the power of Shea Butter and Rice Wax. Chapped winter lips are so not kissable!
Beauty trick - This multi-tasking beauty must can also be used as a blush and adds the perfect rosy color to cheeks.
When you want some lip love reach for the Plum Cherry Gloss, which provides a coat of moisture and soothing hydration with Vitamins E and C, as well as a sexy, sheer layer of wine-stained, high-shine color. It's very soft without being sticky, which is a major plus.
Beauty tip - For richer color, line the lips with a deep wine or burgundy lip liner before applying the gloss.
This holiday let your eyes shimmer with a sparkle in a romantic wine color. The Plum Sunflower Evening Primrose Eyeshadow is an elegantly smooth eye shadow powder that delivers a hint of shimmer and merlot eye color.
Beauty tip - Wear it alone for a light sparkle. Layer this plum shadow for a dazzling, sexy eye.
This gloss and go kit is compact enough to take anywhere - your Thanksgiving vacation with the parents or your romantic holiday getaway with the man of your dreams (or man of the moment).
All products are dermatologically tested and are free of mineral oil, silicone, propylene glycol and ethanolamine. Beauty that is good for me - now, that's a holiday treat!
What's your favorite holiday lip shade?

Cheap Thrills Can Be Oh-So-Sexy
By TheGlamtastic · October 7, 2009 · 0 Comments ·
Looking for a cheap thrill? Forget making out with the oh-so-sexy stranger at Sushi Samba (he probably has a girlfriend) or hitting on the shy co-worker in the cube across from you (don't mix work with pleasure). Instead, hit up your local drugstore and experiment with some of this season's latest shades without breaking the bank.
This Fall, if you want to makeover your look and experiment with a smoldering smoky eye or soft shimmer, check out Rimmel London's Stir It Up Eyeshadow.
Recently voted one of Allure's Best Cheap Thrills, this marble, velvety shadow fuses cream color and light shimmer for a variety of glam looks. Apply one layer on your lids for a touch of sheer sparkle or layer on this eyeshadow for a more dramatic look.
At only $7.20, try every shade without feeling guilty about spending the cash.
Shades include: As If, No Way!, Out of the Blue, Sure..., Whatever..., Wassup?
Enjoy the thrill of fresh eye color with sleek silvers, smokey black and shimmery pearl with this beauty steal from Rimmel London.
How would YOU wear this eye shadow?

Makeover Your Fall Makeup with NARS Fall Collection

NARS Hottest Colors for Fall
What's this Fall's hottest makeup trend going to be? Well, I don't have a crystal ball handy, but I do have the inside scoop from the makeup masters over at NARS Cosmetics. According to the beauty experts at NARS, Fall 2009 makeup looks are all about being bold and feminine.
This season, NARS introduces a new collection to add some femininity and sass to your everyday Fall makeup.
The inspiration for these vibrant shades? According to famed makeup artist, Founder and Creative Director Francois Nars, "I wanted to create something fragile, but strong, seductive but not aggressive."
In typical NARS fashion, the collection contains bold hues and sexy shimmers. There's a vampy blood red lipstick, sparkling deep purple polish and sunset-color eye shadow singles and duos.
My personal favs are the vampy Fast Ride Lipstick and the sultry Indian Summer Duo Eyeshadow.
For more info, check out www.narscosmetics.com
Let the makeup makeover begin!
