A MAC Miracle & 2 New Blogs

Hi girls,
I am so in love with MAC's new line of itty-bitty, bite-size eyeshadow duos,MAC Eyeshadow Suite ($16 each). They look like CANDY and they're equally irresistable. Each little palette comes with two shadows selected to perfectly accent and compliment one another. Hint: The larger shadow is the key shade, and the smaller one is the accent (blend it in the crease or along your top lash line for some oomph). My absolute favorite is Sweet Liaison, a fabulous everyday gold shadow with a deep, burnt bronze shade I've been wearing as liner (it's the one on the top left in the pic). Ladies, if you haven't checked out these adorable little eyeshadow nuggets already, get thee to a MAC counter, stat!
Kisses,
Tia

PS...I also wanted to draw your attention to a couple of new blogs from some extraordinary muchachitas! The first one is by my darling friend--and one of the most influential music writers in the biz--Margeaux Watson. After blazing through Time Out New York, Vibe, Essence and Suede (RIP), she's now working at the venerable Entertainment Weekly (perhaps you're familiar with her semi-regular column, "Margeaux's Hot Mess?"). Anyway, she's just been awarded her very own "music, news, and reviews" blog on EW's website...it's called Margeaux's Mix, and you can find it on www.margeauxs-mix.ew.com. It's totally hysterical and brilliant. Go Margeaux!!!

The second blog is from my jewelry designer/journalist cousin Allyson. A former writer for Hype Hair and Word Up magazines, she's now created She-Blogs at www.she-blogs.com. An inspirational blog designed to empower women to get their thing started, she features interviews with amazing entrepreneurs. Her first interview was with Karyn Parsons, formerly Hillary Banks on "Fresh Prince of Bel Air," and now the founder of Sweet Blackberry, an organization whose mission is to bring little known, miraculous stories of African American achievement to the widest possible audience. Loving that! Congrats Ally...
