China Glaze Vintage Vixen Collection The majority of these shades were very easy to apply with the exception of 1 which was uneven due to the glitter in it. As I mentioned earlier the colors are beautiful, all very wearable colors. There were only a couple in this collection that did not impress me. I don’t know how I can wear all these colors unless I wear a color on each finger 
The finish on these shades are glossy and shiny and the glitter in all the bottles also give it even more lustre. All these colors look best with two coats of polish.

Stacey is also expanding into accessories with jewelry and scarves and plans to launch the alice + olivia shoe collection in 2011.

IMATS ’10 was held again this year in the Pasadena Convention Center. There were a lot of people at the convention this year but it seemed like there were less people there than last year. I went on Saturday to scoop up the best products from the many makeup brands there. A lot of the brands there had their products at a discounted prices up to 40% off like Make Up Forever, MAC, Bobbi Brown, Senna, NYX Cosmetics, and more. Another benefit from attending the show was I got to sign up for professional discounts from brands like Urban Decay, they even gave out a free product just for signing up. I was also able to buy a lot of makeup brushes from Crown with most at about $3-$6 up to $15.

Zero Oil™ Collection with Saw Palmetto and Mint. This complete Collection helps to control excess oil and unclog and visibly shrink pores, which helps decrease the appearance of oily skin. Oily skin, the result of over productive sebaceous glands is caused from a variety of factors, external and internal, including genetics, hormones, diet and stress. Sebaceous glands secrete sebum (natural oil which is responsible for keeping skin and hair moisturized), and according to the American Academy of Dermatology, “sebum increases dramatically during adolescence when hormones known as androgens spur sebum production into overdrive.” When the sebaceous glands become overactive, not all of the excess sebum can flow freely to the skin’s surface. Clogged pores, bacteria, blemishes and acne can result, at any age.
The Zero Oil™ Collection with Saw Palmetto and Mint incorporates some of nature’s most powerful oil controlling ingredients including the potent, plant-based Saw Palmetto and Laminaria Saccharina (Kelp). Together, Saw Palmetto and Laminaria Saccharina work to inhibit excess oil production thereby helping to reduce the potential for problematic breakouts. Additionally, Salicylic Acid stimulates exfoliation at skin’s surface helping to minimize and unclog pores. Aloe Leaf Juice and Glycerin help to soothe and calm skin.
When used as a regimen, the products in the Zero Oil™ Collection are clinically-proven to provide skin with clarity, moisture and a more poreless appearance.
Mario Badescu Silver Powder ($12, 1oz) is for excessive stubborn blackheads, an oil absorbent powder will help to unclog congested pores. This product will prevent blackheads and promote a healthier complexion. Use once or twice a week by dipping a water dampened cotton ball into the powder and press on nose, chin and congested areas on the face. Wait 10 minutes and wipe off with toner or astringent.
