Costume-worthy cosmetics 2014

Heyyyyyy Fashionistas!!!!

Guess what's a few days away? Halloween!

I wouldn't say that I celebrate it but I look forward to it as a time to dress up and be something else...like an alter ego/ character.

So let me prepare you with a few buzz worthy items to make your costume just fab!

MAKEUP:

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS TAMANA PALETTE
Whether intense or slightly dramatic, you can work this palette into any costume look....(especially if you are doing an Egyptian look, Arabian queen, Indian bride or Roman goddess).

NYX SIMPLY VAMP LIP CREAM PENCIL
For those deep berry, wine or cherry lip looks, NYX just released these in time for your hallowed-ideas!

URBAN DECAY VICE 3 PALETTE
This speaks for itself; more than enough colours to play with.

ELF VILLAIN PALETTE COLLECTION
Just in case you are not sure what you want to be...ELF COSMETICS put together a palette collection fuly loaded with eye shadows, lashes, lipstick etc to give you a complete costumed look. Better yet, they are simply just affordable!

ARDELL COLOURED LASHES
How Awesome is this idea!!! Can't find that coloured mascara for your lashes?? Guess what Ardell has coloured falsies in green, purple, wine and blue. I suggest if you are not portraying a drag-queenish or scary look, then these lashes will give you the natural extension with a flick of colour. I already bought mine..in wine!

NAILS:

GWEN STEFANI HOLIDAY 2014 OPI NAIL POLISH COLLECTION
The deep and or glitter colours are great for your costume. I'm already wearing the deep purple "I Carol About You."

HAIR:

TEMP. HAIR GEL
Ok so your costume calls for blue or green hair and you don't want to actually dye it!!! Then here's a great solution by Manic Panic....temporary hair gel. Very pigmented and gets the job done without the bleaching. I've used this many times and definitely no complaints. Washes out very easy with shampoo!

Hope you have fun dressing up and be safe on the streets especially if you take your kids trick or treating. THIS IS FASHIONISTA NEWZ!

Cosmetic Newbies- FALL 2014!

Hi all!

It's October already and that means 3 things:
1- Halloween is around the corner
2- Thanksgiving is in a month
3- Christmas is in 2 months..waw..literally!

In preparation for these upcoming festivals and holidays, here are a few items to check out. Fall 2014 is still playing with some bright colours but there's still the influence of dark shades and the intro of light, natural makeup looks (soon to blog on). Here are the newbies for Fall 2014:

NEW- BAKED EYESHADOW PALETTES BY BH COSMETICS
I just blogged about leopard print being the dominant style-print for Fall and here comes BH Cosmetics with their brillant idea of creating the "Wild" baked eyeshadow palette. It's a mixture of natural, bright, dark and pastel hues.

Baked eyeshadows are usually shimmery and depending on your skin tone and eyeshape, can be used as a highlight for the eyes or all over the lid.

NEW- MILANI BELLA EYES GEL POWDER EYESHADOWS

I have never been disappointed by Milani as a drugstore brand. As a matter of fact, some drugstores were phasing this line out but all of a sudden, they revamped and relaunched their campaign and my my these new eyeshadows look DA BOMB!

NEW- OPI NORDIC COLLECTION
OPI brings to you a lovely collection of brights, neutrals, glitter and darks to assist you in the fall/winter trend for the 2014!

NEW- RITA ORA 60 SEC RIMMEL LONDON NAIL POLISH COLLECTION
This diva collaborated with Rimmel London to launch her own nail polish line and I must say, I love the creative design and colours for the season!

This fall has some lovely choices of cosmetics that are very affordable. I am an instigator for making yourself feel good and if indulging in newbies is what you feel for....go ahead. You have 1 life to live and live it well and happy.
As always have fun and be creative! THIS IS FASHIONISTA NEWZ!   Hyper Smash
