Notable blush from the upcoming Makeup Art Cosmetics collection is pretty unique as far as its comparison to other blushes in the regular MAC line. It is a terrcotta tinged, medium-dark rose. This blush was made for WoC and will especially rock on latina complexions. Us pale (I mean "porcelain", lol) gals can wear it too, but I recommend a very light hand and applying it with a #187 to ensure a light touch. One thing in your favor is that it builds very gradually with this method; going from a sheer wash to a bold swatch of colour.

I know a good amount of you said you were considering skipping the blushes as there are soooo many eye products in this collection that will be stealing your cash, but take a look at this blush. Notable is, well, notable.

Here's a swatch for you to love on...

Hold the Pose LS, New Spirit LG, Notable Blush

Remember, this launches on 18 Aug on MACCosmetics.com and 20 Aug at counters. So who's in for a Notable?

Thanks again to Specktra member k0rn_peachy for a great look at the promo and the rest of the DSquared2 products.

The greasepaint sticks look so sexy. Imagine the smudgy, smokey eye they will create. Who's planning on trying them out?

Mmmm...mmmmm... yummy. Lookey there. DSquared2 package details showing...oh yeah....special LE packaging. I'm loving the red lipstick. WANT.

Thanks to Specktra member k0rn_Peachy for the pics!

Who has tried the MAC Pro Lip Erase and what do you think of it?

We still chuckle (along with all of Manhattan) over the now-famous New Yorker cover illustration of "Newyorkistan." Cheeky, witty, always amusing, Maira's illustrations are cute and colourful, wonderfully child-like, playful...and sophisticated all at once. Technakohl Liners and Maira's Magical thinking Eye Shadows are made for the MAC Artist with a sense of mischief and a deep desire to be defiantly different. Warm and eccentric at the same time, Maira's faces are full of cock-eyed optimism, with the tiniest smidge of city-girl-snobbism...simply, scrumptiously, stupendously sublime!

Andy Warhol did a cameo on The Love Boat in 1985...and in the same spirit, Richard Phillips' 1998 painting, Spectrum, made its debut on the scandelous Gossip Girl - a sign of the times! Need we say more? Recylced and re-imagined '50s,'60s, and '70s ads and images, and every colourful issue ever considered when pondering the question of "identity" is what Richard Phillips is all about. Highly technical, a refinement of precise, academic painting, his bold and beautiful portraits seem so relevant to everything MAC artistry is all about. A collection of eye shadow quads, lipsticks, Lipglass, and The Perfect Cheek Blush just leap off the canvas!

There's that famous close-up of Tom Ford's belly button, part of the "Pathology of Glamour" that this artist renders with luminous, almost hallucinatory colour and painterly photo-realism... Erotic imagery that zooms in on a succulently wet, red lip, a dappled, sequined eye, or a silverized stiletto splashing in the mud. The Whitney Biennial Artist says she's "Never met a model who actually thinks she's beautiful," and that observation goes a long way to explain how she connects to what MAC wants to say about all-inclusiveness - we're ALL beautiful sometimes. Pigments in Push the Edge and Copper or Gold Gliter have the power to make anyone feel like they WILL be seen - and desired.

I got my grabby little paws on a few of the lip products from the upcoming Makeup Art Cosmetics collection. Namely Hold the Pose lipstick and New Spirit lipglass. Not bad, people, not bad. I like. I will admit that both were "maybes" on my list, but...
