NARS Releases 2 New Sexy Kits

The Safer Set is available on sephora.com for $37.

Earlier this month, the high-end cosmetic brand, NARS, whose best-selling blush color is called "Orgasm" comes The Safer Set. Along with the cream stick multiple in the "Orgasm" shade come two branded condoms and a little black book of ways to say 'no' so you can let the cute-but-not-THAT-cute boy know you're not down to get down without getting any blood on your hands. I'm semi-obsessed with NARS, so I'll be planning on getting this for it's limited-edition value.

No kids, it's not just a ha-ha -- a portion of the sale benefits Amfar programs to promote global safe sex education initiatives. Cheers to the man behind the brand, Francois Nars!

Also, if you guys don't have me added on MySpace yet, do it! I love friends.

Even More tokidoki

So Onitsuka Tiger is hopping on the tokidoki bandwagon with brands like Smashbox Cosmetics  and LeSportsac! I'm usually really anti-sneakers (and flats) but these are mad exciting. Check out the soles! They're on pre-sale right now and only run for a little over a hundred bucks from what I can remember. tokidoki needs a motto or something. Like: "tokidoki -- You know you fucking need more of it". And all the artist/fashion kids (me) would do a double-take at the display and be like, "ZOMG HOWD U KNO?!1?!!111" and whip out the plastic. 

But yeah, these kicks are decenttt.

Clicky clicky.

P.S. My prom is tonight! We about to get crunk up in this bitch named Miami. <3

Vincent Longo Wet Diamond Eyeshadow Quad


On a spontaneous haul visit to Sephora I decided to do something different for once: Check out some of the brands that I've never bought from before. OMG I know, and you thought that I have tried everything. Well I haven't. But I have tried about 80% of the high-end brands out there (so if you need help deciding with someone just ask/read my reviews).

The Vincent Longo half of an aisle caught my eye. In lieu of Sephora's last fine art-themed catalogue, Longo had stuff that totally fit in. Mascaras in unconventional shades (primary yellow, blue, red, green, etc.) and the same colors in liquid liners. I poked around at these for a bit and ended up buying the Vibrant Eye Waterproof Mascara in Giallo (yellow) as well as a liner in a Crayola green, Vibrant Eye Waterproof Liner in Verdino. Oh yeah, and I could not fucking resist getting the Vincent Longo Wet Diamond Eyeshadow Quad ($40).
I mean come on, even the name is awesome. Wet Diamond. Anyway, this is the first time I've ever bought a palette that was meant to be used wet and dry.

Used dry, the high-tech pearl formulate doesn't really emulsify nicely on your brush. They colors come out tons lighter than they look in the palette. It's nice -- if you want something super subtle. Used wet these pigments are FAMAZING. 

Before I go on, I know some of you may have never used a highly-pigmented eyeshadow wet before. All you have to do is get a damp piece of paper towel/facial tissue and dab your brush on it. Never hold the brush bristles directly under a running stream of water, it'll get it WAY too wet and may ruin the bristle arrangement of your brush if you let it dry retarded.

So after you've dabbed your damp brush into a color, these pigments are soooo pronounced you can see them from a mile away. These are pealescent, ultra-shimmery colors and are super blendable. They only being to somewhat crease after the school day (appoximately 8 hours of wear). 

I highly, HIGHLY suggest the Wet Diamond Quads and give them a 5 out of 5 stars!

Just In Case You Were Unaware


Tokidoki is one of the cutest new artist brands out there and makes things so cute that you pee yourself. Observe. Silver bullet with a face. EVERYTHING is better with a face. Omgomgomgcute.

M.A.C Heatherette Collection is HERE!

Omg omg omg omg.

The colors are great and the compacts and packaging is pure eye candy. I'll be heading off to the Pro store this weekend to get my share of this stuff before it sells out. Check MACcosmetics.com for all the swatches. I love Richie Rich and his fabulousness.

As a matter of fact, they'll be having a show during Funkshion. They'll be in the tents on 11th and Ocean on Saturday the 29th (Oh no, the same day as Ultra! Ugh).

P.S. Eat this, Fafi! I don't know what the hell they were thinking when they thought those dolls were cute. Fuckin' horrifying. They look like Bratz on crack.

The Rally Photos, FINALLY.

So yes! The PINK Rally at the Raleigh was pretty cool. Pretty people, pretty brand, pretty boys. Yeah that's right, boys. At first I was like, why would guys want to be around all this PINK, girly-stuff? Then I realized what guy WOULDN'T want to be where all these hott spring breaker girls are in Miami? I counted at least five sporting their pink Lacoste, obviously. Looking goood.

Ehem. Aside from the beautiful people from Miami and abroad, there were cool celebs like Brody Jenner (The Hills hottie), Vanessa Mannillo (the MTV/Maxim Hottie) and Miranda Kerr (the Aussie Angel hottie). You really do feel like a fatass when you see models in person. Christ. Ms. Kerr almost made me want to flush my modeling endevor down the shitter just by merely looking at her. Oh yeah, DJ Irie was there too. But he's not hott.

The hotel this this was hosted at for the second year in a row, The Raleigh, is on 17th and Collins Avenue on the Beach. Wonderfully upscale place to stay here if you've got the $$$. The back area was huge -- large size patio, giant pool, and a sandy part with upholstered couches, tables, and a volleyball net. Victoria's Secret had EVERYTHING PINK-afied, from pins on the pillows on the couches, to the giant dog on the diving board, to the volleyball net. It was like a fantasy playland for rich bitches. And upper-middle class bitches!

AHH

I have not slept in 31 hours, you guys. I have pictures from the PINK Rally at the Raleigh. I'll go online tomorrow and edit this post so I can show you what you missed. It was super fun.

Night!

Spring Breakin' It Already!

I suck at updating super often. But that's okay.

Tomorrow I will be looking hot as usual at Victoria's Secrets' PINK Rally at the Raleigh Hotel here on Miami Beach. MIRANDA KERR (the prettiest of all the angels!) will be there. Good enough for me. I had to gather my PINK-wear tonight as it's required you wear some of the brand for extra goodies and camera lovin'. My camera's busted, but I'll be sure to have my BFF Whitney take majabillions of pictures for me so I can share and make you jealous.

Here are some media clippings from last year's PINKtastic spring break bash:


Again, be jealous. You will be in school. Or maybe you'll be awesome, play hookie, and meet me there! Or maybe you're in college and don't even have to worry about it 'cause you're spring breaking where I live 24/7  (insert sneer here).

P.S. I don't know how long this has been published, but it's a great resource for some of the most kickass beauty products out there: 2008 CEW Beauty Awards Finalists. Also The Best of Sephora 2007. I have these two sites favorited under my 'Reference' tab in Safari. Next to dictionary.com and WSVN.

P.P.S. Clear your history after if you read this on a school computer please. I don't need everyone knowing what I'm doing out of class. Pft.
