If you’re a Michael Kors fanatic, the you can’t afford to miss out on Estée Lauder’s limited edition spring collection. The Hollywood Collection is available at select counters across the country but only for a limited time. So if you loves you some MK, then get your beauty fix now!

My personal fave is the creamy Starlet Peach lipstick. Aside from the trendy shade, it’s soft and delicate. The entire collection is centered around one of spring’s biggest beauty trends: coral and peach. This season, take a step back from the black smoky eye and lighten up with the shade of the season.

The Michael Kors Hollywood Collection products range in price from $25 to $45 and are also available in bright berry shades (another hot trend for spring 2010). Plus, it’ll match perfectly with your Michael Kors shades, no?

Starting February 1, 2010 through the month of April 2010, MAC’s limited edition spring makeup collections will be available. The new collections feature awesome shades: fuchsia, purple, coral and golden brown. I’m quite partial to the fuchsia makeup and the golden brown (can you imagine how awesome that’ll look with a tan?)

With all this Christmas talk, I almost forgot about New Year’s Eve: one of the biggest party nights of the year! If you’ve got big party plans to ring in the new year, then be sure to stop by a Murale location near you before you go.

On December 31, Murale is offering you loads of fun stuff from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. If you purchase $100 of makeup or more, a Murale Beauty Master will provide you with a full, complimentary makeup application. Also, if you purchase false lashes for that super sultry gaze, a Beauty Master will apply them for you free of charge (trust me, applying them on your own is no easy feat!). You can also get a free nail polish change or touch up with the purchase of one of the 60 Lippmann Collection nail polish shades available in-store. You can even speak to a skincare pro for tips on how to keep your glow on all night long.

Getting your makeup done by a pro is always a treat–especialy when it’s free! Check out Murale before your party and celebrate 2010 with the hottest makeup looks of the year.

There is six Murale locations in Canada. Check out www.murale.ca to find the location nearest you.
