Pout Cosmetics

I used to see these little eye shadows at Fred Segal in Santa Monica- back when I had the funds to be, well, shopping at Fred Segal. (sighs.) ANYWAY, let's look at how pretty and cute this packaging is! From what I understand, this line is no longer around. But I am here to pay homage to once was, and that is some very gorgeously feminine make up.

These were the little make up remover wipes.

A cute little package of lip glosses!

Bye bye Pout. I am sad to see you go!

Tarina Tarantino Cosmetics

Is this not so awesome? Love this packaging. It is from Tarina Tarantino's Victorian Punk make up line. I love anyone who thinks to put Victorian and Punk together- something so restricted with something so insane.

This is from her Candy Cameo collection, for which I am completely mad.

She also has a Tokyo Hardcore collection, which I am pretty sure I posted already.

Here is Candy Cameo...

Here is Electric Butterfly...

And another look at Victorian Punk!

I am throwing in this picture of a Gothic Hello Kitty bracelet she created...

And I would have put this picture in my post on her jewelry line, but I just found it. Beautiful!

Pop Beauty

I mentioned Pop Beauty in another post, but I had to elaborate because LOOK how cute their packaging is!

I mean, come on! I love it.

Okay, so, this line was created by a British celebrity make-up artist named Sara Strand. She is also a singer in a band- cool! She created this line because she wanted more clorful fun make up that wasn't crappy, and she couldn't find any.

Stila's Limited Edition Barbie Inspired Cosmetics

Stila is doing a Barbie line right now that is realllly cute. Overpriced, but really cute. Check them out below!
Total sixties beachy make up..shit..I might have to buy this one...


More natural...AS IF Barbie would ever be natural- that is so wrong.

Foxy Barbie- or, Christie, if I recall correctly!

Some ill-placed runway shots so you can see what the look they were going for. I for one am alllll for very big hair, very big sunglasses and pastelly make up, so I leaped up and did a cheer when I saw these pics.

Get it girl

This lip glaze is really cute- they have the new modern Barbie with these hateful bangs on the box.

A pic of all of them- aren't they so cute? Or am I really immature? Don't answer that.

new Barbie...eh. Lips are too big and too dark. Anyway, this is the eyeshadow.

and some cute little smudge pots!

Til next time...(I am still thinking about my Wham post coming up)

I am a sucker for cute make up packaging

I am really into packaging and design. It started with breakfast cereal boxes and candy wrappers- I used to save the wrappers and put them all on my big bulletin board. I still have a big stash of Popsicle and candy wrappers from the 80's and that must have been every piece I ever ate, because my mom would only let me eat granola bars and trail mix normally. Anyhow, the love of design stayed with me and when I discovered 'candy' for women, make up, I noticed that much of the packaging was just as delightful. I get the same feeling looking at this make-up as I did my toys, erasers and stickers. Sigh. Benefit always has really cute packaging and very witty names for their products. My favorites are their blushes and bronzers that are in these cube boxes with square brushes!

Do you guys know who Tarina Tarantino is? Oh my Gosh! She is the greatest! Here is some of her make up line. I will do a separate post on her, because she is all about Hello Kitty, Barbie, Wizard of Oz and Alice and Wonderland and sh*t. She is the coolest!

I mean, look at these colors! I die! (Rachel Zoe voice)

Too Faced is a really cute brand by two gay guys and their Chihuahua, London. This particular box o' make up looks like a dollhouse. I am telling you, they are tapping in on the fact that make up is the closest thing to toys that we have.They also have this really cute leopard print bronzer!

Chinese designer Anna Sui has a make up line with a dark look- this line is like, the goth of make up. Regardless, I find the packaging decadent and stunning. I could never throw it away after using it.
Black and purple: Lovin' it.

Pout is a cute make up line by three British chicks- They use a lot of bows and lacy looks.

Yves Saint Laurent powder blush: chiiiiic and pretttty

Lace trim on Christian Dior blush- Marvelous

I appreciate this Hard Candy packaging- it is truly packaged like candy and has a little ring for you to wear! They tapped into that feeling you get when you get a Cracker Jack prize. Kudos ladies.

When I bought my first bottle of Hard Candy I was a waitress- a broke waitress- and this shit cost a good ten bucks or so back then. But when I brushed that beautiful 1960's chalky pink onto my nails, I felt so feminine and cute, it was all worth it. So I had to steal a little rice from work for a few days because I had no money for groceries- so what?

Urban Decay strikes up images of black and purple glitter and hip punk chicks who could kick my ass. Yet somehow, they came up with some of my all-time favorite packaging with their body glitter/powders. A little leopard puff with a bow? Makes me faint it's so cute (fans self.)

HONEY! So adorable, these little boxes. I have the peppermint one and I just stare at it and play with the tassel and then put it away.

Okay, I had to show you this because I am a Smurfs fan: Smurfy make up by Too Faced!

Til next time..
