Something to drool over

Fall/Winter 2010 is bringing in a wave of lady-like loveliness. Gone are the slouchy t-shirts and torn leggings and slapped together looks. The look is definitely more "done" than it has been in some time. (And I, for one, could not be happier!)

Anywho, I don't think it's a coincidence that during this emergence of elegance that Burberry is releasing its first beauty line. They are starting small with a few keys pieces. The idea behind it was to look classically cool. Just like their iconic trench coat. What do I love the most? They put their trademarked plaid design on all the cosmetics!! (See the lipstick above- how gorgeous is that?)

Keep in mind that this is Burberry which of course means not cheap. But, it sure is pretty and if nothing else, it's something amazing to admire. Of course, if you are flush with cash, you can run to your nearest Nordstrom, or Burberry if you're across the pond, and purchase a beautifully crafted tube of lipstick for only $30.

With love from across the pond

You all have heard of Topshop, haven't you? It's essentially England's version of Target. (I know, I am already in love with them, too.) Topshop has been dressing the normal English woman for years. Well, they realized that those same women needed stuff for their faces, too. Enter their relatively new beauty line! Beauty magazines are RAVING about their stuff. I have yet to read a single bad review about any of it. The top rated item is definitely their lip polish. In fantastic shades like "Rhubarb" and "Cherry Picker", they are perfect for summer and can be worn as sheer or as intense as you would like. They can also double as a cheek color in a pinch.

Go to their website (http://www.topshop.com/) and take a peek at all their makeup options. I am a big fan of the shadow duos and the Skin Glow.
