Fafi for M.A.C.

Oh, how I love free things. Especially free things sent to me in the mail!

Today I received a small catalog of sorts about the new Fafi collection for M.A.C. But even better, it came with Fafi stickers! I had never heard of Fafi before, but learned that she is a French artist who "conjures up the most curvaceous cuties." Her drawings are adorable! The products aren't up for sale yet, but BellaSugar posted this article and picture back in December that gives a sneak peek.

The colors seem perfect for spring. That light pink nail polish above looks like it'd be beautiful!

The Blues

While fashionistas all over the world are waiting patiently for their turn to paint their fingernails with Chanel’s La Vernis Blue Satin nail polish (or buying it for $65 on eBay), I found a nail polish "knockoff" at my local drugstore the other day. N.Y.C.’s Skin Tight Denim Crème is a mere 99 cents, and so incredibly similar. Other bloggers have been claiming O.P.I.’s Russian Navy is a match, too. So although a Chanel nail polish may be more luxurious than one by N.Y.C. or O.P.I., you won’t be waiting for a package in the mail, and you won’t be set back so much money.

Blush you!

One beauty product I started to crave after receiving a Sephora catalog before Christmas was Smashbox’s O-Glow. The claims seemed too good to be true: just rub a clear gel onto your cheeks with your fingertips, and watch your cheeks blush their natural color. Nevertheless, I was intrigued.

I was so happy to receive O-Glow as a stocking stuffer for Christmas, and promptly tried it out after all the present-opening was complete. And it worked! I found my pale self blushing a light shade of pink that stuck with me for the rest of the day. Although it is definitely different than my favorite peachy Nars blush in Orgasm, it is so easy to use and fun to watch it work its magic.

I wonder how it does it!
