MAC Iris Apfel Collection (2012): For All The Seasons of Life {Beauty Notes}

Iris_Apfel_MAC_ad.jpgIris Apfel is your dream of an eccentric, flamboyant grand-mother come true. From the top of her 90 years of existence, she dispenses style-cum-wisdom lessons without even trying because what she displays is the result of decades of practice and instinct-in-action.

After an exhibition at the MET honored her and a book about it came out in 2005, Rare Bird of Fashion: The Irreverent Iris Apfel by Eric Boman, with an introduction by Harold Koda and a contribution by Apfel herself, her style and eye-glasses in particular have been acquiring iconic status...

ELF The Beauty Encyclopedia {Shopping Tip}


beauty-encyclopedia-elf-3.jpg
E.L.F. (Eyes. Lips. Face) have put out a very appealing makeup set offering a course in the art of beautifying your face. It's called The Beauty Encyclopedia, in 3 volumes. Each tome contains the tips, colors and tools you need to start immediately.

I like the subtle neutral palette which says "wearable" instead of "industry left-over". Don't you hate those color palettes that seem to have been put together just to say, "Hi, I'm new and I don't care if I make any sense"?...

Sonia Kashuk Hidden Treasure Brush Set & Coral Reef Highlighter {New Beauty Products - Cheeks - Eyes}

Sonia-Kashuk-Brushes-Coral.jpgCheck out these new cosmetic brushes by Sonia Kashuk. Don't they look great and as summery as can be with this coral-branch theme going on? The Hidden Treasure Brush Set and the Coral Reef Highlighter need to be bought separately. The handles are made of an aluminium alloy from what I can tell. Lovely higher-end design for a beer budget.

They're new and available at Target for $19.99 and $12.99 respectively.

Yves Saint Laurent, in keeping with their tradition of exoticism, is introducing a new collection of makeup for the summer this time inspired by Africa. YSL, the former great couturier (see also images of his funeral), is well known for having loved to read richly illustrated books about distant lands and derive creative ideas from them, without even having traveled to the places depicted. This trait of his is considered part of his stylistic genius. 

This summer of 2008, Val Garland, the Make-Up Artistic Advisor for YSL is offering a strikingly colored line of makeup which includes in particular, a bronzer, Soleil d'Afrique (African Sun), an eye-shadow palette titled Palette Couleurs d'Afrique, a Tinted Veil Tan Booster. These items are limited-editions. As part of the summer 2008 Look is also Everlong Mascara Waterproof which reportedly allows you to dive into the sea without any resulting smudges!...
