Review+Swatch - Too Faced Line & Shine

Do you wear lip pencil or liner? Do you know anyone who does? Seems that pencil has fallen from popularity like pantyhose; no one wears it. But the lines still put them out here and there. And I don’t think I would have even tried this next one had I not received this one from TOO FACED in a gift bag at a party recently.

URBAN DECAY added some more shades of those hot guy lip glosses to the line. Have you seen these yet? Each cap has uses a holographic design effect so depending on how you move it, you either get him clothed or in his skivvies!

So What’s Buxom?

It’s an irresistible lust for life. The idea that aspirations become reality and imagination has no boundaries. Healthy, vivid, sensual … Buxom is makeup you feel. Live Life Vividly.

How many times have you used up a lip gloss? Yeah, not often and I feel bad when I don’t use even half of one up so it’s great to see this coolio set from BARE ESCENTUALS.

Beauty For Real - Sunlight Beauty Box

“Blue Jean - I just met me a girl named Blue Jean” – David Bowie

I love this Light on Your Toes #4 Illuminating Nail Polish from BEAUTY FOR REAL. It’s part of their Sunlight Beauty Box. It’s a deep dark denim color with a little gold sparkle or sheen to it.

Review+ Swatches - e.l.f. 24K Glitter Gloss Set

It’s funny that none of these glosses in ELF’s 24K 4-Piece Glitter Gloss Collection are labeled so I guess I will just call them by the color name I see: Orange, Pink, Beige and Mauve.

Gift Pick - Makeup Traveling with Bobbi Brown

Holiday-2011-Product-PickI bet if I showed this BOBBI BROWN Party To Go from her Holiday 2011 Collection to 10 females, all 10 would declare, “I WANT THAT!” 50 out of 50? Probably the same reaction and why wouldn’t they instantly want it? I don’t think Bobbi has put out something so compact in the line before and it’s just delightful!

Gift Pick: Hard Candy Hall of Fame Set

Holiday-2011-Product-PickI have such a soft spot in my heart for the HARD CANDY line. It was really edgy and broke a lot of new ground when it came to unique makeup items. So when I saw this Hall of Fame Makeup Value Set ($20 @ walmart.com), I had to investigate.

Review+Swatch - NARS Larger Than Life Lip Gloss

Nars-Larger-Than-Life-Lip-GlossesI am really late in getting to these NARS Larger Than Life Lip Glosses but it’s kind of working out since I got a new camera and can now get some great real life shots of them.

What it is: Outrageously lustrous color meets serious shine in this NARS gloss. Its stay-in-place dramatic shade glides on smoothly and evenly for lips that are more luminous and voluminous than ever before. Long-lasting, high-shine hues are infused with ingredients that nourish and fight free radicals while natural lip enhancers pump up with volume. A new, shorter bristle brush delivers the most precise application possible. However you want to express yourself, Larger Than Life Lip Gloss says it boldly, brilliantly, and brazenly.

Fall Standouts - Lips

Falll-2011-Beauty-Pick-logo
Fall-2011-Product-Picks-Lips LIP SAVVY Star Studded Shine Gloss
($18 @ belipsavvy.com) – the way this think gloss catches the light is insane. The OMG color is a bright sparkling raspberry and has a hint of bubblegum smell to it.

MAKE UP FOR EVER Lip Line Perfector ($18 @ sephora.com) – there’s really no way to stop lines from appearing around our mouth and color on the lips can bleed, so thankfully they came up with an invisible liner to keep color in its place.

BOBBI BROWN Rich Lip Color SPF 12 in Desert Rose ($23 @ bobbibrown.com) from the Marrakesh Chic Collection – such a great anytime rose color. It reminds me of the first shade of lipstick I ever used.

SKINN DIMITRI JAMES Glosstick Ultra Shine Lip Color in Tender ($12.50 @ skinn.com) – we all want the look of a gloss with the staying power of a lipstick. This one in Tender is YLBB, really better.

Fall 2011 Product Standouts - Part 1

OMG, it is already September 21st and I’m not even half way through featuring all the new fall beauty products so I’m going to stretch this Fall Beauty Pick feature into October. After all, fall is one of my favorite seasons – the colors, the textures and of course the temperatures! Here are some that are singing my tune right now.

Falll-2011-Beauty-Pick-logo
Fall-2011-Product-Picks-first-feature Clockwise left to right:

MAKE UP FOR EVER Smoky Lash in #6 Plum ($22 @ sephora.com) – this one claims to curl and lo and behold, I think it did! A great complement when wearing their Crayon Kohl Pencil in new shade 10k, a deep eggplant sheen.

NYC COLOR In A New York Color Minute Quick Dry Nail Polish in Scenestealer Grey ($1.99 @ drugstores nationwide) – metallic grey is a hot color for fall and it goes with so many different looks.

NAPOLEON PERDIS NP SET False Eye Lashes in Manchester ($10 @ Target or target.com) – if you just want a little emphasis on your eyes, this style will do it subtly. If a strip is too hard for you to maneuver, there’s also Copenhagen, individual lashes.

PACIFICA Island Vanilla Perfume ($22/1oz, $12/roll-on @ pacificaperfume.com) – Tahitian vanilla, vanilla absolute, honey-jasmine and a touch of fruit and tea make up this totally wearable made from pure grain alcohol scent.

POP BEAUTY Face Magnet Primer ($26/1.18oz @ dermstore.com) – this makeup primer not only keeps your makeup on but it has UV protection, caffeine and anti-aging ingredients. Gotta love double triple duty products.

NARS Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner in Rue de Rivoli ($25 @ narscosmetics.com) – this metallic forest green will complement any eye color. Very smooth application and it has a sharpener built in the backend.

CLINIQUE Lipgloss/Lipstick Duo in Black Honey ($21 @ sephora.com) – check out what all the hubbub is about with their cult favorite Black Honey shade. It’s their best seller for a reason and now they have it in a combo Lip Gloss and Lipstick.
