If you look closely at the pans in the new Paul & Joe Face & Eye Colors (from the limited edition Collection Sparkles), you’ll notice that the kitties all have their eyes shut. Tabs makes the same face when he’s purring, aww!

Butterflies, Blooms and MAC Vera Collection Pics and Swatches
Just a few NC 42 swatches and pics of the new limited edition MAC Vera collection, which comes in for a landing on MAC counters, in stores and online in North America February 16 (and internationally next month).
“Brilliant butterflies, flashy florals and gorgeously geometric graphics… A colourful collaboration between MAC and the artist known worldwide as Vera, who merged fine arts with linens, murals, textiles and silk scarves in her punchy, painted patterns. Now in shades plucked straight from her most lavish prints, MAC Vera embraces the luxe, lighter-than-air spirit that delivers the kind of startling, look-at-me-statement that defines what it means to be an instant classic.”
— MAC Cosmetics
Let me know what you think. Does it brings out your inner 
butterfly (or your inner grouch)?

Be Catwalk Ready Right Meow With Paul & Joe Spring 2012
Cat lady problems! I spent the better part of my nine lives today hemming and hawing (and caterwauling even) over whether I could bear to ruin the pretty designs and patterns on the lipsticks, blushes and powder pans in Paul & Joe’s new feline fabulous cat-themed collection for spring 2012.
Every single piece in the limited edition launch, which marks Paul & Joe’s 10-year anniversary in cosmetics and skincare, is like catnip for CCLs! — a purrfect little piece of kitty cat art. 
The release is divided into two parts. Part One: Kitten Collection. Part Two: Collection Sparkles.
The eight-piece Kitten Collection hums (or is that a purr?) with a matte pressed face powder, three stick blushes, three nail polishes and a waterproof gel liner while the six-piece Collection Sparkles pounces! — despite its awkward name — onto lips, eyes and faces with three lipsticks and three powders for faces and eyes. And the whole shebang is available now on Paul & Joe counters and also online.
Hmm… I don’t know how Tabs feels about waiting, but I think I need one more night with these pretty kitties before I take my brushes to ’em.
