Mother’s Day is very soon. Also if you celebrate Women’s Day it is tomorrow (8th of March) so it’s time to get some flowers because all women like flowers! But do they?! Do you love flowers or think that it’s a waste of money because they die in 2-3 days?

As for  myself I like flowers but I still think that I girl wouldn’t mind some Chanel (put your fav brand here ;) )

The Roses Lipstick Collection by Dolce & Gabbana

Posted on 05 Mar 2010

“The rose has always been an icon to us, representing deep womanly sensuality in full bloom, it seemed natural that it served equally as inspiration in our quest for the perfect collection of lipsticks.”

D&G

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana proudly celebrate the first year anniversary of Dolce & Gabbana The Make Up with The Roses Lipstick Collection.

The Roses Lipstick Collection, is a salute to the iconic glamour of the 1950s-its underlying eroticism, its smoldering sensuality – The Roses Lipstick Collection embodies the utmost in seduction. Lips, the ultimate symbol of feminine allure, are enhanced and emboldened as the key to a woman’s duality-her simplicity and complexity, her strength and vulnerability. Each and every lipstick shares an intoxicating velvety smooth fragrance redolent of the wild rose gardens of Sicily, innate to the designers’ deepest roots. Inspired by these classic and beloved rose gardens, the designers have further transformed the ‘100 petals’ scent to live as a modern formulation that evokes a euphoric sensory experience. Adding further nostalgia, when the lipstick case is shut, a special clicking sound adds a hint of intrigue.

The collection includes 5 shades of lipsticks

Zoya Flash & Sparkle Collection for Summer 2010

Posted on 05 Mar 2010

Zoya just publishes the information about their new Summer 2010 collection. I always wondered why this brand is called Zoya which is a women’s name for those of you who don’t know.  So this is from the history from the brand:

“Art of Beauty was founded in 1986 by Zoya and Michael Reyzis. They had a shared vision, which evolved from a small nail salon into a spa focusing on natural nails, skin care and alternative European herbal treatments. Today, the company has grown to become a manufacturer of the most innovative professional beauty products ever created.

Zoya, originally a classical pianist in Russia, earned her Cosmetology license in 1979 when she and her husband Michael immigrated to the United States. While pianist jobs were limited, the world of cosmetology offered a new profession and a means by which to build a new career. Through Zoya’s hard work, and a demand for quality and healthy, natural ingredients for her clients, it became evident that there was a need for the perfect products. Responding to his wife’s requests. Michael, an advanced chemist, developed and patented unique products such as anti-wrinkle treatments and shampoo and conditioning treatments for the salon & spa. He also created the first working fast drying topcoat and the longest wearing, toxin free natural nail polish, revolutionizing the nail industry.”

All this story makes me want to try this brand even more but it is pretty hard to get it in Europe. This is why  I contacted Zoya and they were so kind to give me some contacts were we, Europeans, can get their products! But back to the new collection Flash & Sparkle Collection for Summer 2010.

MAC Brushes in Sets VS Single MAC Brushes: Review and Photos

Posted on 04 Mar 2010

This set was a part of MAC holiday collection but why I am writing about it now? And why am I writing about it anyway? You will find that out soon.

I love brushes with good quality and I guess a girl can never have too many brushes. Do you agree with me? ;)   No matter what you think about MAC makeup you just have to agree that their brushes are amazing! But to get all brushes that you need you will have to pay a lot. And we all want to save some money, right? Pretty often MAC creates different sets of brushes and I am always tempted to buy them because they are so cheap. For e.g. 187 brush is $42.00 and here you get 5 mini brushes in a makeup bag for only $49.5

This is what this set includes and how the brushes look like:

Do-the-Trick Buff and Line Brush Set ($49.50)

  • 168SE
  • 187SE
  • 209SE
  • 219SE
  • 252SE

So here is my opinion about MAC Brushes set and the comparison photo of  SE brush and a “normal” one (more…)
