If you're obsessed with Hello Kitty and have been looking to restock on either Nars The Multiple in Orgasm ($38) or Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey ($14), may I suggest that you check out Hello Kitty's new collaboration with Sephora?

I just got my hands on both the Sweet Gloss in Berry ($16) and Apple Cheeks Blush in Charmmy ($22), and everything from the color and texture to the packaging is eerily similar. For more on how the Hello Kitty collection compares to what you may already love, just keep reading.

New Product Alert: Nars The Multiple in Orgasm

BellaSugar — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 08:00:28 PDT

OH! YES! BABY! As part of its Holiday 2007 collection, Nars has created a new Multiple highlighter stick ($36.50 at Sephora) in the legendary cult favorite shade Orgasm - a color that has remained one of the company's best sellers since it was launched.

This creamy, shimmery pinky-peach highlighter/blush seems to fall somewhere between other Multiples South Beach and Maldives (I told you I'm a beauty junkie).

Typically this shade looks the most flattering on ladies with olive skin, but trust me when I say that this color somehow manages to flatter all shades of skin: its famous fans range from SJP to Marcia Cross to Jennifer Lopez. Get your credit cards ready, because once you see this mind blowing, earth shattering, toe-curling color, it's bound to fly off the shelves!

Beauty Marked: A Cream Blush For The Perfect Flush

Ever since I saw that au naturale picture of the oh so gorgeous Gisele Bundchen walking her dogs along the Hudson River in NYC, I've been trying to find a comparable blush to attain her natural looking winter flush.

Since my cheeks get more dry than normal during the winter months, I try to use a cream blush to add a dewy texture to my skin. I bought MAC Blush Creme but as I mentioned, it made me break out and now I don't want to go near it again!

I asked you all to go beauty marking with me to help find the perfect cream blush for the perfect flush, that won't irritate my skin. To see all the cream blushes you've chosen click here.

Beauty Mark #1, found by WhiplashGirlChild, is a Victoria's Secret Sexy Little Things Naughty Little Me Blushing Stick, $15. It's a gel based formula that adds a rosy and natural color to create the perfect flush!

Love Bar Refaeli's high-wattage glow? Her makeup artist, Nico Guilis, revealed what he used to make her look so lit up. The secret, it turns out, is actually three things: Nars the Multiple in Copacabana and Malibu applied all over her cheeks, lids, and forehead along with Nars Laguna Bronzing Powder for definition. Supermodel skin isn't so out of reach, after all.

My Cheapie Cream Blush Secret

Miriam Lacey — Tue, 31 May 2011 05:00:00 PDT

Long-lasting, highly pigmented cream blush tends to be expensive; a good stick can run you upwards of $30. So that's why I'm going to let you in on something I recently discovered while wandering around Walmart: Bonne Bell Blush 'N Go ($5). I purchased the Petal Pink shade on a whim, and I've been using it for two weeks now. Surprisingly, not only does it have excellent pigment payoff, but it spreads beautifully, lasting just as well as most cheek stains nearly six times its cost. To see how the shade looks on and find out what pricey products this one resembles, just keep reading.

NARS Relaunches Its Website, and Boy, Does It Look Nice

It's been a big year for Nars. Just a few months ago, the first Nars boutique opened in New York. This week, the cosmetic brand relaunches its website with a top-to-bottom makeover that provides a richer, better experience. Browse any of the cosmetics, for instance, and you'll get multiple photos (including detailed swatches) along with makeup tips from François Nars. There's more to discover, too, in the World of Nars section: past campaigns, behind-the-scenes Fashion Week videos, and devastatingly adorable photographs of François's French bulldog, Marcel. It's sleek, streamlined, and the next best thing to spending an hour at the Nars counter.
