Stocking Stuffer Idea: INGLOT Launches Double Sparkle Rainbow Eyeshadows

November 15, 2012 by Kim S. / blog, Miscellaneous / 0 comments

INGLOT, a favorite brand of mine, is well-known for their Freedom system. The Freedom System is a unique method of arranging eye shadows, blushes, pressed powders, lipsticks, concealers and brow products in special magnetic cases, which can be combined freely. The Freedom System collection is available in a variety of sizes from a selection of one product up to a palette of 40 eye shadows.

Just in time for the holidays, INGLOT cosmetics is slated to release NEW Double Sparkle Rainbow Eyeshadows on November 17, 2012 to add to your freedom system collection. The Double Sparkle Rainbow Eyeshadows will be available in 10 different shades and provides the coverage of a matte eyeshadow but leaves an element of sparkle to your eyes. Each colour boasts three shades in one, which can be blended together or applied separately giving you a limitless variety of colour options and looks! If you’re into frosty or pearl, these eyeshadows are for you. The double sparkle leaves intense colour saturation and reflective particles that won’t accentuate the fine lines of mature skin.

At $8 each, the Double Sparkle Rainbow Eyeshadows sound like the perfect gift idea either as a stocking stuffer or by filling up a freedom system palette with a few. It is surely a gift any makeup lover would like.

Sponsored Post: Sunglasses aren’t just for summer! Check my favorite style of this all-season accessory.

November 9, 2012 by Kim S. / blog, Miscellaneous / 1 Comment

I will admit to being one of those people who would laugh at people who I caught wearing sunglasses in the winter time. I honestly thought that people who wore sunglasses passed the summer were just full of themselves and were trying too hard to be fashionable. Silly me! Sunglasses are not just for summer, they are made to protect your eyes from UV rays, dust particles in the air, and bright lights. Basically, they’re an all-season accessory that will not only protect your eyes, but keep you fashionable, too.

My favorite style of sunglasses would have to be Aviators. I’ve been rocking a pair of Chloe Aviators all summer. Now, I have a pair of Le Spec Baron Aviators ($79 US) in Gold & Black from Sunglasses Shop to alternate between, and give my Chloe shades a break. Best of all, these aviators pair well with chunky scarves and hats, which are cold weather staples.

Now that I am digging sunglasses for any time of the year, I came across these cool pair of Prada 27NS ($337.20 US) seen on Kourtney Kardashian that I am DYING to get! Unfortunately, they’re sold out. I can picture myself going incognito, especially on days where I am sans makeup, and still pull-off looking fly with these!

If you’re into high-end sunglasses, Sunglasses Shop has everything from Ray-Ban to Gucci to Prada and Carrera, and at discounted prices!

Laura Geller Make-Up Introduces Holiday Collections

Inspired by the Shimmering Lights of New York City

Native New Yorker, Laura Geller shows her love of the Empire City, during one of its best times, the holidays. Twinkling lights, the Rockettes and Rockefeller Center all capture the glamour and festivity of the holiday season, which Laura Geller has uniquely captured with her Holiday 2012 Collection, Only in New York, a 3 act love story.” The collection includes 3 signature kits that are adorned with Laura’s favorite quintessential NYC landmark – the magical Rockefeller Plaza rink and sparkling tree. The kits can be found at ULTA stores or ulta.com.

New York Love Story ($29):

A complete face palette that captures the magic of New York City. This romantic collection is packed with all of the elements needed to transform from day to night, fresh faced to sultry…

Eye Shadows: A new Start (matte vanilla), Chance Encounter (light berry pink with sheen), and Under the Tree (Dark Brown).

Blush in First Kiss: This blush gives a subtle, matte glow due to light reflective pigments.

Lip gloss in Hand -in-Hand, and Happily Ever After (nice berry tone for fall)

Dusk to Daw Dazzle ($35):

This set contains one of my favorite items from Laura Geller, the Eye Rimz Baked Eye Shadow Wet/Dry Eyeliner in Plum Like it Hot, and the gorgeous Blue Voodoo.

Shadow Shifter: used to transform all Laura Geller eye shadows and eye rim into eyeliners for more intensity.

Lips in Lights ($15):

This collection is for those ladies who love bling and shimmer. This collection of Laura Geller’s BIG CITY Shine Lip Glosses feature a patented gel technology that deliver extra lustrous color and shine, without the stickiness. It also includes Peptide Complex and Marine Filling Collagen Microspheres, which create a voluptuous looking pout. Mango, Kokam and Shea Butter leave lips feeling super soft and conditioned.

Shades included in this set…

Starstruck (creamy copper)

All that Glitters (gold with hints of sparkle)
