Mischo Beauty Loves NARS Bento Box Set

Earlier today, Saks invited their top 25 bloggers to attend a breakfast to celebrate the upcoming launch of the Saks POV Blog and to preview their top 25 holiday gifts. I was honored to have been invited and of course didn't miss it! The morning started off on the dreary side due to the windy rain storm outside, but quickly brightened up once the breakfast began. The highlight of the morning for me (remember I'm a beauty girl!) was definitely NARS' Bento Box Set. After being given the opportunity to try a combination of the lipsticks (Maiko - the red & Sakura - the pink) on, my whole mood was seriously transformed. It is a FIERCE lippie, and not for those who are shy! It's a must-have and is now officially on my wish list. What do you think?

Mischo Beauty Covers Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: NARS & Marc Jacobs Spring 2010

The makeup look for the Marc Jacobs Spring 2010 Ready-To-Wear runway show was inspired by the contemporary dancer, Martha Graham- "old-fashioned and theatrical but graceful and precise. This translated into a "left over stage makeup" look for the runway show. The models weren't meant to have perfect makeup- a "just came off-stage" look was the goal and it was achieved!

The focus of the look was the eye. According to Francois Nars, the shape of the eyeliner was most important- it was meant to open the eyes, especially underneath. NARS' Black Moon Eyeliner Pencil was used to enhance the eye.

I loved the soft, muted lip! NARS' Pop Life Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, which is new for Holiday 2009, was used on both upper and lower lips, adding an extra layer to the top lip so that it appeared darker. To view the entire look along with the complete collection, click here.
