I love these new Loose Dusts by Napoleon Perdis.  They are going to last me forever! Just a little bit of this shimmer loose powder goes a looooooong way, so use sparingly! Adds a nice touch to your eyeshadow!  Dozens to choose from!

Napoleon Perdis Loose Dusts are highly pigmented loose eye dusts that have optimal shine, shimmer and texture – a Hi-Sheen effect.

Pro Tip
Use Cake Eyeliner Sealer to turn Loose Eye Dusts into a metallic liquid eyeliner or a full bodied shadow crème effect.

As the season changes, so must your beauty routine.  Maybe you’re adjusting to the kids going back to school and want to simplify the products that you use every day.  Or, if you are a style maven your motivation may be staying on top of the season’s hottest trends.  Look no further than Planet Beauty, always on trend with the products we know you’ll love.

Planet Beauty style experts offer their predictions on the hottest trends for Fall/Winter 2009.

Curls are the must have hairstyle for fall and they’ve been spotted everywhere from soft cascading waves, to halos of curls, powerful amplified shapes, and even loose natural waves circa the 1940s.  Achieve these hot looks and protect your hair color with CurlWave Styling Cream from COLURE True Color Care, $25.00. All of COLURE’s products are free of parabens, sulfates, alcohol, perfumes, dyes and other chemicals that could possibly strip color.

I’ve tried this cream, and I love it. My hair bounces from straight to curly all the time, and usually falls somewhere in between, a big ol’ hot mess. This product helped define my curls, and give them bounce! 

Speaking of stripping, forget those false eyelash strips! It’s all about long and natural eyelashes courtesy of Kiss Me Mascara, the original macara that creates tiny-water resistant tubes around lashes that cannot clump, flake, smear or run $24.95.

Once you’ve got your hair and lashes covered be sure and experiment with the perennially popular red lip! From subtle to sassy, DeVine Goddess Lipstick by Napoleon Perdis empowers women with sophisticated and chic colors.  Transcend to timeless beauty with DeVine Godess true red called “Eros” $22.95.  It’s a favorite of celebs like 90210′s AnnaLynne McCord.

Finish with a mani and pedi featuring the beautiful selection of colors from O.P.I.’s new Spain Collection, $8.95 each.  The new collection features a range of red, purple, and other dark shades including Barefoot in Barcelona, Can You Tapas This? Give Me Moor!, Pink Flamenco, No Spain No Gain, Ate Berries in the Canaries and more. Plantet Beauty’s favorite pik from the collection is Here Today…Aragon Tomorrow, a dark moss colored green shade with a light shimmer!

New Napoleon Perdis Long Black Mascara

What it is:
An ultra lengthening and volumizing mascara.

What it does:
Embrace your inner siren with truly bat-worthy lashes. This innovative formula will make slouchy lashes wilfully over-achieving. A double shot of black pigment sets the stage for intense dramatic eyes, while natural beeswax and pure Allantoin fortify every hair. Plus, the bent wand applicator acts as a built-in lash curler for ultimate lash control. Now you’re ready for your close-up.
