The Beauty Bug is by no means frilly, or girly. As a rule she doesn’t wear florals, lace, pouffy-sleeved clothing, or pink (clothing or gloss). But there was just something about MAC’s Crazy Haute Marbleized Lip Gloss that tempted Her and made Her… re-think pink. Maybe it was the georgous marble swirls, or the blue [...]

Ladies, we all know the drill by now.  We’re all well-versed in the ways of MAC limited-edition products. You snooze, and you’re left clicking through the expensive pages of Ebay trying to out-bid fellow MAC fiends.

It’s often said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Well…if that’s true, then DazzleGlass, meet Lipnotic Gem Gloss.
If the expression rings true then DazzleGlass should be blushing from the compliments.

New Collection: MAC Sonic Chic

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

There’s something strangely appealing about this photo, no? Something very modish, very gothic chic – as though she’s channeling Marilyn Mason. The high contrast colors against her pale skin is overwhelmingly striking – especially to someone who’s skin is equally as pale.
