Chanel Illusions D’Ombre Fall Collection 2011

Oh I am LOVING this!!

Chanel Illusion d’Ombre Fall 2011 Makeup Collection 

Inspired by precious metals and jewels, the new Chanel makeup collection for fall is where mystery meets luxury.

 

ILLUSION D’OMBRE LONG WEAR LUMINOUS EYESHADOW
This intensely shimmering long-wear eyeshadow offers true versatility. It’s an innovative gel texture that is both soft and shimmery, and allows it to be worn as eyeshadow or eyeliner.

It includes a specially designed shadow/liner brush, developed specifically for this unique formula.

This type of formulation is also ideal when you want to wear a super dark shadow. Layer this underneath, then follow with a similar shade of powder eyeshadow for a robust, solid dark or intense eye.

Worn alone it is sensational!

    Two new lipsticks, Rouge Coco Plumetis (peach) and Rouge Coco Etole (rosewood) not only compliment most skin tones, but go with virtually anything. Tres luxe!



    Chanel has created 3 super glam, shimmering nail polishes that are sure to be the big thing for fall.
    Quartz is a pearlized beige-brown, Graphite a glittery grey black and Peridot is a green with gold tint

      MAC Prep and Prime Lash Serum

      Here’s a new product coming out from MAC.
      I’m a major advocate of Latisse, so it will take some convincing to get me to make the switch, but I happily try (almost) anything.

      Here’s the press release:

      Introducing MAC Prep+Prime Future Length Lash Serum available July 14, 2011 in the permanent collection.

      now, of course this killer cool pic is using a full strip of false lashes, but we get the point…

      PREP + PRIME FUTURE LENGTH LASH SERUM

      PREP + PRiME FUTURE LENGTH LASH SERUM $30.00 U.S./$36.50 cdN
       
      This category is so rich with technological innovation, it could practically be called i-Lash! From this day forward, there’s no looking back! Lash Mania is sweeping the nation with advanced future-forward formulas that do more than coat and cover; they actually boost an inherently heftier, healthier-looking, altogether longer and lusher appearing lash, with dramatic results visible in eight weeks when used twice daily. Designed to enhance over time, this is a breakthrough patent-pending treatment that delivers measurable, visible difference.

      Apply a thin line of serum on clean, dry skin to the base of the upper and lower lashes, morning and evening, and watch what happens. Dries quickly and clearly for mistake-proof application; won’t interfere with eye makeup when used accordingly. Non-irritating, a gentle giant for those who want to go to the next level. This is the future no one saw coming!

      Phoenix Bride and Groom Magazine Cover Shoot

      This was such a fabulous shoot! We shot the June cover of Phoenix Bride and Groom Magazine at the beautiful Wrigley Mansion in Scottsdale.

      Victoria Canada of Victoria Canada Weddings and Events co ordinated the shoot and put it all together.
      She brilliant!

      The theme was a modern day twist on Marie Antoinette. If you check out the magazine you’ll see the photo-story was largely based around the incredible cakes and confections that inspired the “Sugar High” article.

      Here is a little behind the scenes look at what went on

      The amazing hair was built and designed by my partner in glam, hair guru Will Zecco. We get booked together an enormous amount. He is not only a complete genius, but is more fun than you can even imagine!!

      Here’s me using Ellis Faas lips on our gorgeous model Daynalyn Wain.
      I adored working with her.

      Hollye Schumacher was the photographer. She’s fabulous. I love her.

      Jeff Bills from Serendipity shot the behind the scenes videos. Shooting anything with Jeff is always crazy fun!
