Annabelle makeup has always been a Shoppers Drugmart staple for as long as I can remember. They have a wide array of affordable eye shadows in fun colours. I remember buying my first baby blue eye shadow in high school from Annabelle.

Save $2 upon presentation of the printable coupon on any Annabelle product.  This coupon is good until March 31, 2010.

Printable offers from Annabelle don’t come by often so this deal was a nice surprise. Hey maybe I’ll pick up a pot of baby blue eye shadow just for fun!

I am a sucker for pretty packaging. I’ve never bought YSL makeup before but since it’s on sale online I might try it out. I’ve always liked the YSL packaging. It looks so luxurious and the items are pretty enough to collect after the makeup has run out. Since the brand is a bit on the expensive side, I am glad that I found an online retailer that offers prestige makeup at a lesser price than department store boutiques.

I love MAC makeup. They have the most amazing eyeshadows! I’ve been using their products since high school. Since their merchandise is pricier than drugstore brands, I always wait for the free shipping offer when I shop online.

Make-up for spring is always fresh and clean. It is all about showcasing the skin and perfecting the I am-not-wearing-any-make-up look.  I personally prefer this look all year with slight tweaks here and there to match the current season.

To get the barely there look:

Take care of your skin and keep it moisturized.

Create the illusion of perfect skin by finding make-up that matches your skin tone as close as possible and cover any skin imperfections with a concealer.

Groom brows and lightly fill in if needed.

Curl lashes and apply one coat of clear or basic black or brown mascara. Make sure that there are no clumps.

Use lipstick or fill your entire mouth with lip liner. Use a shade that is a close match to your natural lip colour. Add a tiny bit of gloss if desired.

Lightly add blush to the apples of your cheeks, again choosing a colour that mimics the natural colour that you have when you are flushed.

Temporary tattoos were the “hit” accessories for the spring/summer 2010 collections. Chanel is offering a collection of prints for a limited time.  The price tag?

$75 whopping dollars.

I guess compared to what Chanel charges, $75 is not a lot. But for temporary tattoos I can’t seem to justify spending that much.

From Chanel:

Les Trompe-L’Oeil de Chanel.

Fifty-five exclusive temporary tattoos in all, originally hand-drawn by Peter Philips, Global Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup, for the Spring-Summer 2010 Fashion Show in Paris. Artful images of CHANEL symbols and icons, including Oriental cherry blossoms and birds, can be mixed and matched for unlimited effects.

I like the idea and some of the prints are quite lovely. If I was considering getting a permanent tattoo this is a way to test out the waters before committing. I am just not sure if I want to pay for the entire set. It’s too bad you can’t just pick and choose what you like.
