CoverGirl SmokyShadowBlast in Tempest Blue, $8.49 "I love this double-sided cream shadow pencil. It has two fantastic fall shades of blue" says Freedman. "Mixing cool and warm tones will be really big this fall. I like to smudge the blue on the top lid and lashline and then put a neutral tone (like a bronze) under the bottom lashline to create pop and depth," he says as we throw it in our basket.

The scented nail polished by Revlon stained my nails a gross yellow color, it looked like I had some kind of disease. If you're going to use them, use a base coat first

Lately I have been bumping up my red lipstick collection and I find that Loreal British Red works just a well on my nw45 skin as my nw 20 clients. Article did seem a bit dated though ... overall ok.

need new trends

I have some serious mixed emotions about this list. Off the bat the Smokey Shadow Blast? Seriously? I have that item in Silver / Black and Green / Brown. The Silver end broke after about 5 applications. Also, I find the item to be hard to spread onto my lids. The Wet n Wild e/s are good but you definitely need a primer since they are rather powdery. The Physicians Formula Cream Liner seems pretty interesting - I've yet to try that. I'm really curious about the Milani Gloss Pencil. I have a few of their other cosmetics and I'm a huge fan. I can't wait to try that product out - for sure!

Is it just me or do the same trends happen every year. Red/Berry/Deep colors for fall... again.

Are we sure this is for Fall 2012? I feel like this might be a repeat for 2011..........
