philosophy has finally answered the prayers of their fragrance followers and created a set of cosmetics to expand its line of classic “amazing grace” scents and products into “the color of grace.” they have outdone themselves this time if you ask me with this beautifully understated (and pink!) collection. it’s all perfectly coordinated and almost ballet-inspired, bringing out my true girlishness. love!

my fave from the group is this soft & sheer eyelighting shadow duo — the most gorgeous nude and a chocolatey brown that was born to be smudged into the lash line. it’s effortless and the end results are brighteningly beautiful.

also loving the shimmering face powder (which is scented with amazing grace!), angel kiss gloss (the perfect muted pink), and the art of blushing (you know me and multicolored cheek color!).  i’m a smitten kitten!

embrace the drama of illamasqua

there’s a new brand among the shopping shelves at sephora. it’s a bit bold, a bit daring, and a bit difficult to say. illamasqua (pronounced illa-mas-ka) is actually a made up word according to the company’s official blog. their game is professional “nighttime” makeup thanks to dramatic shades, rich pigments, and an overall intensity. it’s a bit mac meets make up forever but that being said, it’s really all about interpretation. i for one am typically turned off by brands of this nature gravitating  more towards the bobbis, benefits, and smashboxes of the world. although i do find myself totally lusting after the lip glosses and considering working the katie blush into my workday beauty routine i might save this look for a more special occasion.

paul & joe has me shouting for spring with their latest limited edition collection. sweetly sparkly and decorated with bright blooms and butterflies, wild flowers is about being free and uninhibited. would you look at those lip balms? they are too adorable for words! leave it our favorite parisian pair to perfectly capture the sweetness of spring in shadows and glosses. i love each product’s two complemented tones and charming designs. i can already tell you that lady slipper will be welcomed into my spring look and i might have to snag snapdragon and primrose for my darling junior bridesmaids (who are 8 & 10). i can’t get enough of these six little pots! have any of them caught your eye? (or lip?)

i have gone ga ga over nars spring collection which is super soft and sexy. three products in particular have me smitten:

lip gloss in easy lover – apparently every woman’s pink gloss & current glossarie lust have

next up, a yummy single shadow in subtle violet hue that will officially overtake clinique’s key lime pie as my shadow of the season

and finally a gorgeous duo that my unsteady hand will never do justice but just must belong in my makeup bag because it’s too pretty to pass up

the goods arrive at sephora this week (the 15th to be exact) so these pics won’t have to hold you over for long!
