Until now MAC has only offered 8 shades of nail color in its permanent collection. The other shades we fell in love with were limited editions and others rotated in and out.
30 shades hit Nordstrom and MAC stores July 5 some new, some re-released and another 35 shades will hit stores August 2 bringing the total to a whopping 65 shades!!!!!!! MAC is officially a player in the lucrative nail polish game! The polishes come in three finishes-pearl, frost and cream and retail for $16.
I am a bit obsessed with highlighting and contouring my face and have been buying all of my products separately until NOW……Lancome has a new face sculpting and illuminating compact that includes blush, highlighter and contouring powder. It’s so perfect for on the go or if you like everything in one compact case. The blush subtil palette comes in 6 color combinations that compliment all skin tones and is available at Lancome as well as department stores $42.
The brush pictured below is NOT included but is available at Lancome as well.
Here are some great step by step instructions.

We have all been seeing quite a bit of Kate Upton lately. If you don’t know who she is, ask any male that you know. As much as we can appreciate her figure, it was certainly a pleasant surprise to see her in this month’s Vogue looking more like a high fashion model and less like a bikini clad sexpot! The editorial shows a different side of the beauty. Upton looks perfectly polished in head to toe designer duds from such labels as Proenza Schouler, Michael Kors and Altuzarra. Do we have a future supermodel on our hands? Hmmmm?

Blake lively has been named the face of Gucci’s new fragrance, Première, which debuts next month. According to the press release, she’ll appear in print ads shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, as well as a commercial by Nicolas Winding Refn, who directed the movie Drive.
This is nothing new for Lively, she was also 
the face of Chanel’s Mademoiselle ad campaign.

Rumor has it Anna Wintour is putting Lady Gaga on the most coveted cover in all of fashion, Vogue‘s September issue! Is it true?????? Sounds like a dream
shoot to me! Last time Gaga graced the March 2011 Vogue cover, it was the second best-selling issue that year. I think she’ll get the #1 spot this time.
We all know this beautiful image 🙂
