One of the most popular collections of MAC that MACaddicts wait for a long time.Its very inspiring and can be an inspiration for New Year's Eve makeup.The dark eyes are running a long time trend.thanks to rock-chic inspiration.Lace is so hot this winter as a fashion hint and now it inspires make-up collections.
MAKE-UP ADDICT
Photographs from NARS Book.The before and after works of Francois Nars.The very famous models including Naomi and Sophie Dahl all turn their glamour on.
As a big makeup junkie(I like to collect limited edition collections of uber-famous brands),I have some great recommendations to buy and use for New Year's Eve.My favorite brands are probably NARS and MAC.Here we go:
NARS-Day and Night Palette
An eye palette that creates more than great colours.I am a smokey eye makeup addict so my favorite eyeshadow of the palette is Night Breed.The red NARS name written on the compact is so hot!(Its normally written in white colour on the black compact)
Shades include: Abyssinia (delicate pearl sheen), Cleo (seafoam shimmer), Sugarland (glimmering apricot), Underworld (deep blue grey pearl), Fathom (pink tulle with silver shimmer), and Night Breed (black with silver glitter).
TOO FACED-California in a Compact - Beach Bunny
This compact bronzer is fun.Its a multi-colored bronzer and luminizer.In winter I love using bronzing powders as blush cause they give colour to your cheeks like a tan.
DIOR-DiorShow Extase Mascara
They say the first mascara to plump lashes inside and out—wear it alone or pair it with your favorite Dior mascaras.So,it can be worn with any of your favorite mascara.The brush contains an Exclusive Duo of Fibers.Do you need more lashes?Hell yeszzz.
Guerlain meteorites pearl collection
who doesn't love Guerlain?The brand is not only famous for their Terrocotta line but also Meteorites.
NEW YEAR EVE RECOMMENDATION OF ISTANBUL FASHION ADDICT
Use glamourus false lashes!yes!from shu uemura to many other brands including MAC have amazing false eye lashes.who needs mascara now?The effect is so glam and rock.
Now.What do you need for New Year's Eve? red lips or red panties? :)

Slow Food - Happy Birthday ! - Plus Freewheelin' Farm - "Plenty" & Transition Towns
(all photos: Freewheelin Farm)
Terra Madre Day was yesterday! Yes! the 20th anniversary of The Slow Food Movement - and importantly the core seed of all the various Slow Movements that followed.
So with Terra Madre Day being just yesterday and in that same spirit I have some favorites to share with you...
Freewheelin' Farm. How good can it get when you combine sustainable, local, organic farm foods AND delivery by bicycle - hence the name Freewheelin' Farm. Whenever I've witnessed the bike deliveries making it down the highway in to town, it always gives me a Big thrill. Oh, See the photos above, they're all from Freewheelin' Farm.
Plenty is a book I've just started reading having found a copy at my local library. So far so good.
It s becoming a favorite for me. It explores just what it would mean to eat entirely locally - meaning all your food comes from within a 100 mile radius and you do this for an entire year.
What is so intriguing is that I knew someone soooo many years ago who did just this. So Seth in Taos, New Mexico if you ever, ever come across this, please know my profound respect and amazement. You rock and what an influence you've had on my life.
Transition Santa Cruz is an organization (along with the concept of Transition Towns) that I will be sharing with you more in the future. For now I just wanted to include this little teaser within today's post.
So Happy Terra Madre Day!! To all you Slow Bicycle friends
{a winter wonderland}
. . . first snowfall this past weekend and a little more today -- not the deep blowing scattering kind -- but the soft dancing floating kind. . . {the kind that flutters about your eyelashes}{images:1 & 3 - luvpublishing on flickr via under a blue moon; 4 - thomas dhellemmes; 2, 5, 6, 8 - anna inghardt via quenchent of the curious + felicity -- thank you! 7 - a glamorous little side project; 9 - martha stewart}
{cerise + gold on frosty mornings}
. . . unbelievably frosty mornings call for bright bouquets of cerise-coloured roses in pretty crystal vases, luminous hair and faceted bangles, festive greetings in gold-lined envelopes, and most of all, soft mohair throws . . .
