With results that no regular mascara can achieve, Fiberwig is the No.1 best seller in Japan.

If the formula is great, the shade is off, if the shade is right it then dries a different color within minutes of application (I could go on with my grievances forever).

Correction: It’s nearly impossible…until now!

One of our favorite parties during Coachella for both myself and Patricia Field was the poolside bash hosted by MAC Cosmetics for the launch of their festival inspired collection with DJ superstar, Mia Moretti. Filled with a beautiful range of peach-tones, pinks to reds, the seven piece collection (plus makeup bag and tote!), consists of two lipsticks, a six shade lipstick palette, and four color creme’s which can be used on cheeks, lids and lips. While catching up with the Moretti, she chatted about how much she wanted to create a very wearable collection using colors she would actually wear and could also envision women wanting to carry around in their makeup case.
