Haute off the runway: Chanel Orient Extremê limited-edition makeup

Direct from Chanel’s 2010 Paris-Shanghai Ready-to-Wear show comes a new, limited-edition package of nail polishes and an eyeshadow and eyeliner set that we can’t wait to get our hands on. The Chanel Orient Extremê collection features brilliant black and glittering gold shades – colors worth coveting. The Le Vernis nail lacquer comes in a deep Black Velvet, a bright Gold Lame and sparkling Illusion d’Or. For the eyes, the Ligne et Ombre de Chanel comes in Jet/Gold, a gilded shadow paired with a contrasting black-as-night liner, for a smoldering, glamorous look. It’s the makeup you’ll want to wear on a haute night out.

The collection is exclusive to the store.

Cosmetics Gone Cute….Hello Kitty MAC Collection!

MAC has launched an adorable line of cosmetics and accessories centered around the iconic Hello Kitty. The product line was introduced this past week with great success. Even if you aren’t a Hello Kitty fan, you’re bound to love the colors of this line.

MAC has the cosmetics broken down into two categories, Hello Kitty Wild, and Hello Kitty Mild. So, which one are you? I personally like the MAC ‘Hello Kitty’ Lucky Tom Eyeshadow palette which falls under the mild side. I also couldn’t resist some of the accessories and purchased the train case and ‘Hello Kitty’ Plush Doll.

MAC’s take on Hello Kitty is different and adorable with Hello Kitty herself designed in pink, black, and white. The cosmetics line has lots of brights, in shades of pink, purple, orange, and blue/green. The packaging is super cute as well.

Most NORDSTROM and MAC stores have the entire line, and although it is limited edition, most is still available online at maccosmetics.com with free shipping over $60.
