Must Have Monday/Winner: Pin Up Cosmetics: A line you need to know about…

Monday Feb 16, 2009 – By Nicole Mitsch

Every so often I come across a line of products that really impresses me. Just recently I found such a line when testing out some products from Pin Up Cosmetics. This line is a decadent, fun, wearable collection for all women. The products have the ability to take an average lady and turn her into a gorgeous 1950’s pin up in just a few brush strokes.

Pin up Cosmetics was created by San Francisco native, make up artist and music industry professional April Lacey in 2007. Since then the line has been recognized by several industry publications, has been worn by celebrities and used by make up artists. Whether it is a classic red lipstick, or the shade of the moment; Pin Ups color range for eyes, lips and cheeks are sure to bring out your inner Pin Up.

I tested the Lipstick Carousel in All That Red ($25, pin-up-cosmetics.com/) and the Demure Eye Lash Kit ($15). The Lipstick Carousel comes with 5 beautifully rich reds in one container. There is a perfect pin-up shade for everyone in the Carousel. I loved the ability to mix and match shades to totally customize your own shade. The color goes on really smooth and stays true. The Eye Lash kit contained everything you need to create a beautiful look. Each set contains a pair of sweet lashes, tweezers and adhesive. A perfect set for yourself or to use as gift.

The line is so retro and girly it’s hard to say no to any of the products. Who doesn’t want to be a sexy pin-up girl? With these products it’s never been easier. Check out the full line of products at pin-up-cosmetics.com.
