Atmospheric Beauty.
Finally, a 7 day forecast you can bank on! M.A.C.’s Blue Storm Collection is set to roll into town with gale-force on September 10th, 2007. The rainmakers at M.A.C. have drummed up a new formation of limited edition hues:
Stratus blues, dense billowing pink-tinged cumulus, set against deep, rolling, overcast greys…A thunderclap of shades so intense, deeply pigmented and atmospheric. They take your eye to the heart of the storm with a look that is sophisticated, well-rendered, and paradoxically calm. For the lips: Light filled bolts of clear silver, dusky pinks and red-sky-at-night plums. Forecast to last…

Oh, Is That The Time?
Where does the time go? Is it nearly the 31st of August at 5pm EST, already? I hardly noticed. Okay, okay, maybe my nose did grow a wee bit when I wrote that, but I am still so very excited about Beauty Marked!’s nomination for the 2007 Australian Star Beauty Blog Award that I couldn’t help myself. I just don’t want the voting to close before you have a hot minute to pop by and Vote *cough* For Yours Truly *cough* if you feel so inspired. Gosh, the time sure does fly by when your having fun! * still happy dancing*
Betty Who?
There’s nothing Betty Davis eyes about those arresting peepers. These super polished and super beautiful eyes are courtesy of the ever-so-talented and ultra charming Tom Pecheaux for Emmanuel Ungaro AW08. When asked…the dashing Tom Pecheaux wanted us to know all about those uber alluring and exceedingly sultry eyes created from sheer M.A.C. genius:
Cue eyes built up in winged, multi-dimensional shadow, a seamless mix of eyeshadow in Showstopper and Carbon (to make ebony brown) pulled out from the socket. Fluidline in Blacktrack wrapped along the upper and outer half of the bottom lashlines and a feathering of eyeshadow in Fiction (a chromatic olive) on the lid. The brows were tinted deeper with a speedy brush through with mascara in Charcoal Brown followed by a brow brush to pull extra attention to the siren-like gaze.
Beauty Marked! absolutely has to agree, this look is just pure unadulterated smolder. I’ll have a pair of those, thanks!
Order up this look and much more M.A.C. gorgeousness online or at your nearest M.A.C. counter. Mmmm…
The Bouf Stops Here.
Or…well…maybe starts here, depending on what floats your flip. Whatever hairstyle your hankering for, you most certainly won’t want to be without a quality hairspray in your holdings. Sebastian Professional Shaper Plus is the one to bouf, I mean beat. Sebastian Professional Shaper Plus Hairspray delivers true, touchable, extra-hold, humidity resistant control. No self respecting Countess of Coif worth her salt would ever consider being without a trusted can of hairspray for her tresses. Sebastian Professional Shaper Plus is just the iconic styling tool you’re after. What you’ll get when using Sebastian Professional Shaper Plus Hairspray is hair with added body, steadfast direction and immaculate lift and hold. Not to mention the quick drying Shaper Plus is simply legendary when it comes to medium and heavier textured hair, allowing it to maintain the same long-lasting loft as those with feather-weight locks without being sticky in the least. Not bad, ay?
Ooh, fancy a little bit of Hollywood goss? Well, according to Beauty Marked!’s Hollywood sources:
Sebastian Professional Shaper Plus Hairspray, along with is little sister, Shaper Hairspray, star as “Ultra Clutch” in the film release of “HAIRSPRAY!”
Embracing their Hollywood roots like never before, Sebastian Professional’s Shaper and Shaper Plus brands are preparing for their big screen debut in the New Line Cinema’s & Roadshow Film’s September 2007 remake of the cult classic, “HAIRSPRAY!” As the official hairspray of “HAIRSPRAY!”, Sebastian Professional Shaper and Shaper Plus will perform behind the scenes and front-and-centre to capture the film’s classic style.

All That Glitters Is Not Gold.
But a gorgeous little silvery number as well. Zoya Trixie is the hottest colour for polish we’ve seen this season. Some say silver is the new black. My take on silver is that it translates as black’s edgier sister. Zoya’s newest nail lacquer colour, Trixie, is street smart, glam, and totally on trend. Short and squared nails are transported instantly out of the stratosphere when sporting Zoya Professional Nail Lacquer in Trixie. Trixie is made of the same divine formulation that we have come to know and love from Zoya. As always, Zoya polishes are free of industrial chemicals like toluene, formaldehyde and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) for those who are concerned about some of the possible naughties that can find themselves in nail polishes. We love that!
Check out Trixie as well as other beaut bits of nail gorgeousness at Zoya.
Fancy A Little Bit More Matte2?
I was able to get my hot little hands on the product shot of the shadows that are to accompany that beyond divine beauty shot of M.A.C’s Matte2 collection due to hit counters October 08, 2007. Not bad, huh? I suspect these delectable Matte2 shadows are Clarity, Brown Script, and Poste Haste. Don’t quote me, but that would, indeed, be they, if my memory serves me correctly. Anyways, this is just a little something to keep you going. *wink*
