A few Makeup Bag readers want to know which Shiseido The Makeup products were used to create the above look on Patricia Schmid—and we have the answer:

Accentuating Creamy Eyeliner

Eye Shadow Quad Shimmer Q9

Automatic Lip Crayon LC3

Too bad her skin isn’t for sale!

We’re always on the lookout for travel-size products that make packing as simple as applying lip gloss without a mirror.

We have yet to join the three-day-trip-with-no-checked-luggage club, but we’re working on it.

Cute little minis like these Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencils get us that much closer to passing initiation. With five little versatile pencils in uber-bright colors, our travel Makeup Bag will never be less than exciting.

Now, if only the rest of our bathroom counter would fit into a ziplock bag…

Urban Decay has released some fresh new shades of their long-lasting Liquid Liner.

Don’t be deceived by the new inkwell-style bottle—it’s the same superior formula in a sleek new package.  Check out the new colors here.

P.S—We’re still having some video issues. It has something to do with the Sony HDV Camcorder not getting along with our Mac. We’re pretty sure we figured out how to fix it, but we’re about to board a plane to New York. We’ll get it up as soon as we can. Promise!

Rich, luxurious hues mark CLINIQUE’s modern fall collection: Play in the Darks.

Finding inspiration on the runways, this collection is all about elegance and sophistication with intense color that ranges from soft and sultry to bold and dramatic.

Play in the Darks. Fall 2007 has some wonderful treats in store for us– including new shades of the fabulous Brush-On Cream Liner and joining Black Honey (the Almost Lipstick that we all bow down before) are three new limited edition shades of the best-selling formula. Can you believe?!

Here’s the scoop:

Brush-On Cream Liner

• Black Honey
• Deep Brown
• Graphite (limited edition)
• Egyptian (limited edition)

Application Tip: Lightly dip the eye liner brush into the cream liner pot. For the most precise application, dab off any excess product on the back of your hand, using it as a palette. If you don’t have a steady hand, draw three dashes along your lash line—outer corner, middle, and inner corner. Then, go back and connect the dashes.

Almost Lipstick

• Black Honey
• Black Raisin (limited edition)
• Black Raspberry (limited edition)
• Black Plum (limited edition)

Color Surge Eye Shadow Trio

• Black Truffle (limited edition)
• Creme Brulée (limited edition)

• Blushing Nude (new)
• Ebb and Flow (new)
• Come Heather (new)

Blushing Blush Powder Blush

• Sunset Glow
• Smoldering Plum

And now, the most exciting news of the day (for us, anyway) is the NEW Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss. With all the treatment benefits of our beloved Superbalm Tinted Lip Treatment, this new luxurious gloss comes in a bigger tube and offers more moisture and shine. Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss comes in eight high-sheen shades to wear alone or over lipstick:

• Apricot
• Raspberry
• Mango
• Rootbeer
• Lilac
• Ginger
• Currant
• Grapefruit

Play in the Dark. Fall 2007 and Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss will be available beginning August 2007 at Clinique counters nationwide and at clinique.com.

Shiseido The Makeup has some fab products coming up in their Fall 2007 Collection.

A standout is the new Accentuating Cream Eyeliner, a creamy pot eyeliner that comes in two shades (brown and black) that’s easy to apply and long-lasting. We were lucky enough to receive a sample a couple weeks ago and we’ve worn it every day since. It is our favorite, favorite, favorite. Favorite.

We’re also in love with the new Automatic Lip Crayon. Available in five flattering colors, these high-shine crayons are super moisturizing and never need sharpening. Brilliant!

Shiseido The Makeup Fall 2007 is available beginning next month at macys.com,
nordstrom.com and other fine department and specialty stores nationwide.

(The Automatic Lip Crayons are already available at Nordstrom.com!)

Avoiding eye-makeup-meltdown in triple digit heat is a breeze with Make Up For Ever Aqua Essential Waterproof Eye Set.

Included in this $85 value is Eye Seal (a cult favorite formula that transforms any powder into a waterproof liquid liner), Sens’Eyes waterproof makeup remover, Waterproof Lengthening Mascara, Waterproof Eyeliner, and Aqua Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil.

For only $45, these essentials will take your eyes through summer and beyond without smudging, running or melting.

A definite must-have!

Hey!!

I can’t believe I made it through this week. For me it’s been volleyball, volleyball, volleyball.

Today is the last day of the tournament and I AM SOOOOO TIRED! My back hurts, my thighs ache, and my shoulders burn– but through blood, sweat, and tears, my Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner did not let me down.

I love this stuff! It seriously does not move.

So, my team is currently 36 out of 112 15-year-old teams, which kind of sucks because we totally could have done better– but we have a chance to win our bracket today– wish me luck

xoxo,

Bree

We love the new concept from Benefit that showcases three levels of neutral makeup called Love Your Look.

Depending on the neutral look you want- light, medium or deep, Benefit has selected the perfect color combinations to make you look fab. All you need to do is figure out if you’re a Lana, Gabbi or Betty.

Or if you’re like us, you’re a little bit of all three.

With 24 silky-finish lipsticks, 12 creaseless cream shadow/liners and 3 sheer cream blushers Benefit has taken the guesswork out of creating the best look for your lifestyle.

Go ahead and find your inner Betty.
