Pantone's Color of the Year 2012 Is Tangerine Tango -- Learn How To Incorporate This Color In Your Everyday Style!

Pantone is the world renowned authority on color and they've chosen Tangerine Tango as the color of the year for 2012. Tangerine Tango is a reddish orange that proves to be bold, bright and beautiful. Makeup brands are all over this trend especially Sephora who collaborated with Pantone on a few very special limited edition products such as eyeshadows, blushes, brushes, eyeliners and more. Incorporating this look into your own personal everyday day is as easy as adding a quick orange lipstick, a touch of eyeshadow or a pop of blush. Below are a few products to help you achieve any look to match this year's hottest trend.

Makeup Beauties: Jessica Biel Graces The Cover of W Magazine

Getting my W Magazine each month is one of my favorite things. The magazine has the most amazing photos and the large size always gets my attention. For the month of April none other then stunning Jessica Biel graces the cover. She's everywhere right now -- from her engagement to Justin Timberlake to her role in Total Recall. She's on fire and no one can stop staring.

Lipstick Love -- Nars Schiap


There is always a moment when you find a lipstick that you know you're gonna love forever. That's what happened to me when I discovered Nars Schiap. I saw the color and thought, "Hmm.. maybe." Then I put it on and instantly fell in love. It's described as a "semi matte shocking pink" and I believe that's what helps it be a best seller. It's semi matte not matte, so not to drying as some lipsticks can be. Although it's a shocking pink, it's a perfect bright pink that is actually wearable. I get so many compliments when I wear this one and I love that I don't have to reapply. It wears FOREVER on me (seriously...) and just looks amazing.

MAC Chenman Love and Water Collection -- Lipstick Swatches & Review


MAC Cosmetics recently launched a collection with Beijing-born fashion photographer, Chen Man. The collection is inspired by her infatuation with love and water, yin and yang, pink and blue. The collection photos are absolutely gorgeous, but I was only tempted to purchase the lipsticks. The lipsticks are my favorite MAC products I've purchased in a while and like nothing I currently own.
