You Read It Here First ... Urban Decay 2008 Fall Collection

It’s been a while since we’ve been able to do a Your Read It Here First ... So here’s the lowdown on the 2008 Fall Collection from URBAN DECAY.

Our pick from the collection has to be the retooled Lipstick ($22). Hold a piece of gothic artwork in the palm of your hand! And doesn't the picture on the right make it look like a toilet brush in it's holder? I wish I could get one that looked that cool. Here's the rest of the deets: 21 shades ** infused with vitamins A, C, E ** paraben-free ** creme carmel flavor ** hot purple heavy case

Also coming out for fall:

• 24/7 Lip Pencil available in 6 shades ($16)
• Grindhouse Pencil Sharpener ($8)
• 24/7 Concealer Pencil ($16)
• Matte Eye Shadows – 3 new shades - Heist, Electric, Shakedown ($16)

All only @ urbandecay.com

What's Your Philosophy On Philosophy?

We simply loved PHiLOSOPHY’s The Supernatural Mineral Blush Duo back in January and we were able to try out some of the other products in the collection. This line has proven to me that they are not just body and skin care. Their color collection is a force to be reckoned with! All @ sephora.com

• Airbrushed Color Corrector Concealer ($25)
• Lip Gloss in Mauve ($15)
• Airbrushed Canvas SPF 15 ($35)
• Oil Control Blotting Papers ($10)

Erase Some Face With Benefit

This is the cutest hot pink container! BENEFiT’s Erase Paste ($26/.15oz @ benefitcosmetics.com) is a concealer that not only hides blemishes and other unsightly markings but also brightens and camouflages the area. Think of those face foundations that have properties inside to blur imperfections. This uses the same technology. Use a dab under the eyes, the shadows around the nose and you can add a tiny bit of water to make it more blendable. It comes in three shades and even has a tiny spatula to spoon some out.

If This Is Nude, I'm In

I can almost guarantee you’ll be spending a lot of time at the PRESCRiPTIVES counter next time you make a trip. Breathtaking new products you MUST HAVE from The Nudists collection: Reflective Moonbeams Lip Gloss ($18) in Summer Solstice (shades of pinks) and Summer Constellation (shades of nude/gold). These are gorgeous on lips and the rich pigment enhances the light reflective qualities so your pucker looks full and feel butter soft!

And run, don’t walk, to get the limited edition of Daylight Cravings Check Color ($26) in pink and peach tones. This is a weightless micro powder like nothing I’ve ever seen. It’s almost a magical soft cheek glow. Camouflages, firms and minimize lines…yes, it’s true.

Also new but not part of the above collection is the Site Unseen Brightening Concealer with SPF15 ($22). It does it all and thankfully comes in cool and warm shades.
It’s a click and release pen style that covers and treats beautifully! Last but not least under the must have tool category is the Retractable Face Brush ($28). It's soft and plush and is a take-with-you brush. All these wonderful goodies @ prescriptives.com ~Lisa

Budget Beauty

Pop this powerful little pal into your makeup bag and go! Buy one or several to keep at work, at home  everywhere. ELF’s All Over Cover Stick is a small but amazingly rich and creamy facial spot concealer for full coverage.  Use it on breakouts, redness, freckles, or anything else you want o hide. And for only $1 @ drugstore.com, how can you pass this one up? Available in 3 shades. -Lisa

Minerals to the Rescue

I’ve stumbled upon a miracle with Supernatural Mineral Concealer from URBAN APOTHECARY, and if you’re looking for a flawless complexion, you are going to find it with this product. Designed like a click pen, all I do is dispense a little of this concealer over or under foundation, or on my bare skin. It seems to hide anything I’m trying to conceal including fine lines and wrinkles. I’ve been using the medium shade (it’s also available in light and medium dark so there’s a suitable shade for everyone), and I no longer leave home without this perfect, and I mean perfect, pen because it actually writes away all of my imperfections. $20 @ urbanapothecary.com ~Randi
