First, there was the brief gig with Cover Girl; then, she was dropped as the face of Nivea, as her image didn’t fit the family values of the brand.
Now Rihanna has joined forces with MAC. What makes this MAC collaboration different is that it’s not a one-off collection: there will be four collections. RiRi Woo lipstick will be the signature piece of the collections.
The Style Page asks: would you buy products from the RiRi ♥ MAC collections?

After seeing these things at Korean beauty emporia, I was curious about what they are and how to use them.
Skinects.com describes itself as a “Matchmaking site for your skin”: that is, you create a profile about your skin issues and it spits out recommendations. Its “chief matchmaker” is cosmetics chemist Ni’Kita Wilson, who was an expert for YouBeauty.com, the site promoted by the ubiquitous Dr. Oz.
Hasn’t this been done before? Doesn’t mySkin.com do the same thing?

In a surprising move, Napoleon Perdis is going upscale with his self-named line (not to be confused with his NP Set line that is exclusive to Target). The Napoleon Perdis line is carried by Ulta and Dillard’s. More recently, Nordstrom has picked up his line.
Now comes news that Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus have picked up his line. His first limited edition collection exclusive for BG/NM (really, one company) is the Swan Lake collection, inspired by his collaboration with the Australian Ballet:
The Swan Lake LE collection consists of:
The Swan Lake LE collection debuts this month and retails for $80.oo through bergdorfgoodman.com and neimanmarcus.com.
NARS 413 BLKR collection is named in tribute to the NARS flagship boutique at 413 Bleecker Street in NYC’s West Village. The latest addition to this collection is the Mulitple, in a rich burgundy shade.
I look forward to trying the 413 BLKR Multiple. Years ago, the company sent me two samples to try: Orgasm and Tuomota bronzer. I loved how smoothly the Multiple went on, straight from the stick, and how seamlessly it blended into my skin. The girl at Sephora showed me how to tap color from the Multiple onto my cheeks. I was so impressed that I became a paying customer, when I bought the Multiple in G Spot. NARS could make a killer stick foundation if it wanted to.
The 413 BLKR Multiple joins the other items in the 413 BLKR collection:
The 413 BLKR collection is sold exclusively at the NARS 413 Bleecker Street boutique and the NARS boutique at 8412 Melrose Ave. in LA and through narscosmetics.com.

Announcing Karen Murrell‘s update of her website and introduction of 3 new lipstick shades: Magenta Moon, Scarlet Blaze, and Rymba Rhythm.
Karen’s lipsticks cost NZD $30.00, about USD $25.00. Karen has an online store and yes, she does ship internationally.
I made a couple of calls to nearby Walmarts to see if they had Drew Barrymore’s highly anticipated cosmetics line Flower. Customer service wasn’t very helpful (there was a language barrier), so I swung over to Walmart after shopping at Costco. There was a Flower display at the front of the store, but the selection was disappointingly small. All that was there were a couple of mascaras (but not the dial-a-lash mascara), some lip colors, and nail polishes.
I was looking for the Petite Fleurs stacking sets of 3 different “bullets,” the dial-a-lash mascara, and the “true” BB Cream.
Nonetheless, I came away with Lip Service Lip Butter ($7) in Sheer Snagdragon. I’ve given it a single try, and it seems creamier and longer lasting than Revlon’s Lip Butters.
