Asan editor I receive virtually every single new beauty product thatcomes out on the market. However, there are a few products that I havebeen using for years or just got to have after trying it on at the storeand actually purchase myself. Here are a few of my latest buys from thelast week, I had to stock up for fashion week of course!

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick In Beach
Ilove shimmer and I am always looking for ultra shimmery eyeshadow. Ihaven't found any other shimmery shadows that are as beautiful ansophisticated as Bobbi Brown's Shimmer bricks. I use it as an eyeshadowmostly but if I am going to an event I will swipe it over the tops of mycheekbones for an extra pop. I use Mac's painterly paint pot as abase/primer on the lids and the shimmer lasts literally all day. I alsohave to mention that I had my last shimmer brick for two whole years andthe only reason I brought a new one was because I accidentally droppedit extremely hard onto my hardwood floor and the brick broke intopieces. So it just goes to show you the longevity of this product whichis an amazing buy at around $38.00 from Saks.

Makeup Forever HD Foundation
Iused to use MAC studio sculpt as a foundation last month but it ruinedmy skin and I broke out severely. So I had to switch foundations andthought I would give Makeup Forever's HDfoundation another shot because I used to use it a few years ago butdismissed it because I felt that it was too sheer. However, after tryingit again I am very happy with how natural it looks. I like fullcoverage foundations and this is definitely more moderate coverage butlooks great when paired with the pan stick concealer.

Makeup Forever Pan Stick Concealer
Iam actually trying the pan stick by Makeup Forever for the first time,and might I say I am in love! It covers every flaw without looking cakey and stays put after a good dusting of HD powder. Sephora does not carry this product so you will have to visit the Makeup Forever store located on E 12thstreet at Fifth avenue. The boutique is cute, nothing special but theydo offer a free makeup application with the purchase of $60.00 worth ofmakeup so when buying these products make sure to do it before a nightout with the girls or a big event so you can get a free professionalmakeup look by a Makeup Forever artist.


MAC Pro Lipstick In Milan Mode
Pinklips have become kind of like my signature but finding a classy hotpink is hard to do but I think I've accomplished the impossible. I amall over Milan Mode by MAC it is a beautiful shade of pink that packsjust enough of a punch without being gaudy. The regular MAC counters donot carry it so you will have to go to a pro store. I personallypurchased mine from the MAC Pro store in Times Square.
