MAC Peacocky

Available January 6, 2011

Arrogance or elegance? The showy display, the undeniably sexual spectacle, the iridescent irreverence…it’s awe-inspiring. We fetishize the exotic peacock as a symbol of extreme beauty, an act of elaborate nature, raging against everything simplistic. Peacocky fans out in a foray of intense colour for Lips and Eyes, exotic and sophisticated with a touch of ’30s F. Scott Fitzgerald glamour and mesmerizing metallic sheen. New Kissable Lipcolour combines full flash with creamy comfort. It’s molten, with elastomer technology that imparts a velvety, aerated feel without sacrificing shine. Light as a feather. Mega Metal Shadow gleams like chrome, with light-reflecting properties – yet creamy, crease-resistant, vitamin-fortified flexibility. Dramatic doesn’t even begin to describe the girl who knows she’s Peacocky.

Giorgio Armani ‘Rouge d’Armani’ Holiday 2010 Lipstick

Posted on December 27, 2010 by Christine

Giorgio Armani ‘Rouge d’Armani’ Holiday 2010 Lipstick ($30) the exceptional long-wear formula gives up to eight hours of uniform color, without fading and feathering. The soft extremely blendable texture leaves lips feeling comfortable and continuously hydrated.

#404 is a rich red with red shimmer that glides onto the lips effortlessly. Once you start to use more of the lipstick you will see that the inside has glitter
#405 is a coral lipstick that also has glitter hidden inside when used

Recommendation: Giorgio Armani has amazing quality lipsticks that are long lasting and fragrance free. The colors stay put after eating and drinking with barely any color transferring off your lips! The holiday colors are beautiful and can complement almost anyone but if these colors aren’t for you there are more colors to choose from that are not limited edition.

Giorgio Armani Gold Rush Holiday 2010 Palette

Posted on December 26, 2010 by Christine

Giorgio Armani Gold Rush Holiday 2010 Palette ($55) is a limited edition universal beige sheer shimmer powder that lights up the face and décolleté with an irresistible glow. The sleek gold-and-black lacquered signature compact adds a sparkling note to this seductive collection.

When applied powder shows up as a hint of champagne gold on the skin and would be great to use as a cheek highlighter and also as a highlighter at the inner corner of your eyes to brighten up tired eyes. The powder applies very sheer but you are able to build up the color to make it more visible.

Recommendation: The Gold Rush Palette is a quality product from Giorgio Armani that will complement skintone with its sheer champagne gold shimmer. The shimmer powder is easily layered for more color and shimmer but at an expensive $55 I would rather buy DiorSkin Shimmer Star in Amber Diamond which gives you 5 different shades of shimmering gold.
