TRY THIS: Shopbop.com's Sephora Collection Color Play 5-in-1 Palette

Hey Glamazons! You know, I have tons of makeup; and I'm not just telling you this to brag (ok, maybe I am just a little bit) but more so to emphasize the point that I'm definitely a palette type of gal. I don't know if it's because I'm always on the go or the fact that I just like compact things. Who doesn't want to have their eyeshadow, blush and lip gloss all in one place?!
The good folks over at Shopbop.com (a Glamazons Blog website fave!) must have been thinking the exact same thing when they decided to hook up with Sephora to create this limited edition makeup palette. The palette, which retails for $30 (a $125 value!), includes 5 interchangeable color palettes based off of the 5 looks from Shopbop.com's "Faces of Fashion" editorial look book. They include (from l to r):


-Boho Bombshell (dark blues, warm taupes, warm golds)
-Classics Never Die (brown smoky eyes)
-Angelic Boudoir (nudes, sands, with a touch of bright blue and fuschia)
-Black is the New Black (black smoky eyes)
-A Nod to Mod (bright blues, greens, pinks, purples)





Each color palette can be popped out and into the empty case on the left so that you can pop it into your clutch or purse. Love!


In addition, you can enter to win this really cool sweepstakes called the Faces of Fashion Sweepstakes. The prize? A year's supply of makeup from Sephora and a $2,500 shopping spree from Shopbop. You'd be crazy not to enter! Click here to get the rest of the deets.









In fitting fashionista form, my fave palette is 'Black is the New Black' (I could wear this every day!) but the others are fun to play with as well.





Once you nab yours, be sure to heed this 5 fab makeup tips from Sephora PRO Artist Julie Taing:


1. To create a quick, colorful smokey eye, apply the black matte shadow with a small shadow brush. Complete the fun, edgy look by putting any color of your choice on top.
2. Mix shimmer and matte shadows together to create dimension. Use the shimmer shadows towards the center of the eye and blend with matte shadows in the crease. Line the bottom lash line with a matte shadow for a more intense look.
3. Don't be scared to play with color! One easy trick to apply a natural color (shades of brown or black) all over the top lid with a medium shadow brush, stopping at the crease. Then, line your bottom lash line with a fun, bold color that accents your eye color. Gold shades look great with blue eyes, purple with green eyes and green tones accent brown eyes perfectly.
4. For a fun spring look, try a bold lip. Apply a sparkling eye shadow with your favorite vivid lip color such as raspberry and complement with a soft, natural cheek color.
5. This spring, it's all about a fresh, natural look. Try keeping your eye shadows basic with eye enhancing colors such as soft blues, brown and greens with a soft natural pink lip color. You can also try mixing the palette's peach tones blushes together for a soft, sun-kissed look.

Holiday Gift Guide 2010: 40 Gifts Any Woman Would Love

Have you heard the sentiment that Christmas is a holiday for kids? Yeah, me too and I don't buy it for one second. As a young woman living on her own, I get just as excited about the holiday as if I was 8 years-old and a bike was waiting for me under the tree. It's as good a time as any to treat yourself, or someone special, after saving, spending smart and sacrificing during the year (which I totally did except for that Lanvin X H&M sale hehe).

There are plenty of luxe gifts that will blow your Mom/BFF/sister's/girlfriend's mind on Christmas from Christian Louboutin pumps to Lanvin dresses to Agent Provocateur silk robes.

But if you're looking to cut costs, I suggest pairing a less expensive gift with an experience she can tie it to. For example, a Sephora by OPI nail polish set and a gift certificate to a swanky nail salon, a Rebecca Taylor faux fur coat and an off-Broadway play to wear it to, a pair of Ugg slippers and a massage at the Spa. Sounds great, right?

That's my wish list anyway (along with a puppy! Hey, a girl can dream, right?).

Shop my Christmas list of luxury and affordable gifts this season, and tell me your gift ideas in the comment section.





More CC Skye...





Kisses,

Coutura

Breaking Beauty News: Make Up For Ever Boutique Launches At Sephora In SoHo

Don't you just love the beauty brand Make Up For Ever?! (I do!)
They've hooked up with Sephora to launch a series of in-store boutiques that closely resemble a backstage fashion show environment (minus all the Fashion Week madness, of course!)
The first opened Wednesday night in SoHo with a little cocktail soiree. I'm sad to report back that I totally was invited but didn't get finished with my business dinner in time to make it over. However, that doesn't mean that I can't share the news with you, right?!
So, there's a completely separate entrance from the Sephora store entrance to this little boutique and it includes all the Make Up For Ever product that you could ever dream of (more than 1,200 units! atothemazing, right?!) This place has everything from interactive tools to customize your own makeup designs and face charts to ipads featuring access to how-to videos. And, of course, there will also be makeup lessons and plenty of samples available for all.
The second boutique will open in Sephora at The Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas next Friday so be sure to check that one out if you live in the area!

GLAM OR SHAM?: Fashion Week Edition: Gwen Stefani's Mixed Tribal Print Dress at Fashion's Night Out

God, I love Gwen Stefani. Only she could fly under the radar and then, reappear during New York Fashion Week in this glorious dress.

Where most celebs mix a leopard top with a polka dot skirt for example, Gwen's blends two cool patterns in one phenomenal piece. Tribal prints and stripes? That's legendary style, folks.

And the colors: bright yellow, red, black and white compliment her signature beauty look (platinum blonde hair and fire-engine red lips) peerfectly.

And to make things better, she threw on tights and sandals for a cool, edgy look. Pretty amazing, don't you think?

The fashionista made an appearance at Sephora during Fashion's Night Out to debut her newest fragrance for Harajuku Lovers called Wicked Style. We can only hope the Spring 2011 L.A.M.B. collection has pieces like these.

What do you think? Glam or Sham?

Kisses,

Coutura

Get Your Minx On: Sephora Now Sells Fun Patterns For Your Wearing Pleasure

Don't have tons of money to shell out to a manicurist for Minx nails? Then do it yourself..for less than $20!
Side note: I've been applying them on my own for about a year now! When I worked at The Magazine, they used to send us scads of the patterns and no one else was interested in them, so they all went to me! Tee hee hee.
Sephora has eight limited-edition patterns available in their Sephora by OPI line for $15 each. Each pack comes with 16 strips (for fingers or toes). Just choose the best fit for your nail (trim as needed), rub the strip between your hands to warm, peel off and apply. Yes, that easy! So glad that Sephora was smart enough to distribute Minx for the masses. Happy Minxing everyone!

Bronzed Beauties: The Kardashian Sisters Launch New Self-Tanner

Because, after all, you can't be on QuickTrim, dress in bathing suits from their swimwear collection or in their clothing line from BeBe without having a tan! Duh.
Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian have finally dropped the beauty news about their upcoming Kardashian Beauty Line (which we all knew was coming since the news debuted about them being the new faces for PerfectSkin; not to mention Kim's appearance at this year's CEW Beauty Awards) and the first product is none other than the Kardashian Glamour Tan Self-Tanning Gel.
The gel will retail for $34 and is sold exclusively at Sephora stores and sephora.com. Evidently the girls have done their homework because it's chock full of antioxidants and vitamins C, E and D. It also contains the exclusive ingredient Imudulin, which stimulates Vitamin D production for anti-aging effect that softens lines and crepiness. (Just to make sure that older woman know that they can use it, too, I'm sure!)
I'm itching to get my hands on the stuff to test it out for myself. Do you think it will be any good Glamazons?
