RIRI [HEARTS] MAC

The Bajan popstar has proven to be not only one of pop music's greatest superstars, but she has been making her mark as a savvy business woman as she has launched her perfume line Reb'l Fleur in 2011      and she recently debuted her 'River Island' collection at London Fashion Week 2013, but guess what she hasn't stopped just yet..... she recently partnered with the makeup giants Makeup Art Cosmetics (MAC) to launch her own makeup line called RiRi [Hearts] MAC.

Her makeup line is set to be launched in four separate collections of lipsticks, lipglosses and eyeshadows and other items throughout the year.  The first item from her makeup line will debut on May 4, 2013 to coincide with her “Diamonds” concert in Brooklyn, New York and is said to be Rihanna's take on the infamous Ruby Woo lipstick, befittingly dubbed RiRi Woo.

I'm definitely looking forward to the great things from her makeup line as well as her other fashion endeavours. Keep up the good work Rihanna!

Until next time guys.

MAC Arrives in JA!!

FINALLY, FINALEMENT, FINALMENTE!!! Whatever language you speak, if you're an avid fan of MAC as I am you would probably share the same sentiments..... MAC! What took you so long to get here?!!

Well If you haven't already heard through the various media and social network sources, MAC has finally decided to open up its first official retail store here in Kingston, Jamaica at the Sovereign Centre Plaza come this December; it is a long overdue venture in my opinion, but it is welcomed nonetheless. During the press release held last week Thursday, Gisel Calvillo, senior MAC makeup artist, along with other regional MAC directors and managers made the huge announcement and also spoke about the brand at a private event held at the Spanish Court Hotel.

I am beyond elated to say the least, but I am even happier at the fact that no longer will Jamaican women have to settle for the MAC knock-offs that have been circulating in certain retail stores here, no longer will we have to ask (or beg rather) a friend or relative to send us that MAC foundation that we ran out of and can't find anywhere in Jamaica, and I can finally get a hold of those limited edition (LE) MAC collections that they release ever so often. But, with all things said and done it's great to see the new developments within our local beauty industry, especially with the recent launch of Carol's Daughter at Nettle & Moss. Our local makeup artists and enthusiasts alike can indulge in the benefits of one of the best make up brands out there (IMO) and all I wanna say is THANK YOU MAC!!! took you long enough!!!

Hope to be doing a haul once the MAC store officially opens :) ;)
Until then guys, ttyl

March Favourites

I decided to share a few of my favourite products that I have been using in the month of March, these are products that I find myself reaching for the most...

1. Mint & Neon Polishes

I am obsessed with nail polishes and I find myself racking up quiet a collection.   However, these two polishes are my March favourites. The mint green is prefect for this spring and I love my neon pink polish, its so bright and vibrant, plus I get tons of compliments when I wear it ;).

2. NIVEA Visage Extra gentle Eye Make-Up Remover

Best eye make-up remover I've used to date. It simply gets the job done! It's super gentle on my eyes and the best part is that its oil free ( I HATE oil based make-up removers).

3.  The Body Shop - Blue Corn 3-in-1 Deep Cleansing Mask

I use this twice per week when I want to give my skin a deep clean. It cleanses, exfoliates and purifies. I also love it because it mattifies my face. I have slightly oily skin, so that's a plus.

4. MAC Constructivist Paint Pot

This is my go-to product whenever I want a neutral eye look. Whenever I am in the mood to wear make-up to class this is what I reach for.

5. Estee Lauder Double Wear Mascara

I love the formula for this mascara, and it makes my lashes so much longer. I love it so much that I had to go back and get another one!

6. Inter Sense Auto Lipliner Pencil

These liners are really pigmented, and they glide on your lips so smoothly. Also, with a lip balm base these can be worn on their own. I picked up three colours, but I am definitely going back for some other colours.

Those are my March favourites, please share yours?

Have a great day
