New in Beauty
- Yay or nay to Estee Lauder’s Bronze Goddess blush/bronzer compact for summer?
- Blend to build a blush with these springy new Rimmel Lasting Finish Powder Blushes ($5). Each comes with three swirl-able shades for mix/matching. 🙂
- Fascinating! NARS’s new (silicone-based) Lip Stain Glosses ($24) have a matte finish in gloss form?
- Now THAT’s a funky applicator — Dior’s new Capture Totale Instant Eye Rescue ($95) eye cream.
- Hmm… I’ve got a few dark spots eager to try Clarins’ Bright Plus On-the-Spot Corrector ($35).
- Shiseido’s The Make Perfect Rouge Glowing Matte Lip Colour ($25) is making spring matte-er.
- No worries. Shiseido’s also making sure there’s still plenty of shiny lipgloss to go around!
- The T3 SinglePass Flat Iron ($160) has tourmaline-infused plates (sounds like something from a comic book, LOL!) to supposedly straighten strands in a single pass.
- Could Milani’s new HD Advanced Concealer be the $7 drugstore answer to YSL’s Touche Eclat?
- From now through March, Bliss will donate 75% of the proceeds from sales of their Softening Socks ($48) and Glamour Gloves ($48) to Unicef relief efforts in Haiti.
Congratulations on making it to hump day with me, ladies! 🙂 I can see the summit, with the weekend not far below. Let’s do this!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Onwards to the weekend!!!
Its almost here…. 😀
It can’t get here fast enough! How are you feeling? Better I hope!
Still coughy but on the mend …. I am hoping to enjoy this weekend more …. 🙂
That T3 SIngle Pass Flat Iron sounds intriguing. I normally have to use a couple of passes at least with my CHI.
I’ve never tried Milani cosmetics but if they have a Touche Eclat knock off for $7 I think I might have to pick that up!
I know! I would love to have a flat iron that gets it done in one fell schwoooop!
The Rimmel blushes look interesting. I might give those a try. I have a bronzer from Rimmel that I love and use as a blush on my darker skintone. Getting past Wednesday is always good. Can’t wait for the weekend, but how the heck is it already the end of January? 🙂
I’ve tried their sold color blushes and they’re pretty good! Can’t wait to the stripey ones now.
Which bronzer do you use? I wonder if it’ll work for me…
Hope you’re having a good day so far!
Oh i love that Shiseido gloss in Belini!! Come to think of it, I wouldn’t mind a real Bellini either;)
I’m having such a boring week, home with a cold, watching Buffy and Dr Who all day…
Oh no! I hope you feel better soon. 🙂 Which season are you on on Buffy?
I used to watch it regulary but now I’ve just started from season one–next is season two…and then how many may come until I get better!!
Forgot how awesome the series were…
The NARS Lip stain gloss, are like a liquid lipstick, but they are hardly new 🙂 They have been around for years. I am still hoping Mr Nars will expand the shade selection. All the current ones are very dark, but nevertheless a heavenly product.
Interesting. Funny that Bloomie’s listed it under their New Arrivals section… maybe they were referring to a new shade. Have a great day! 🙂
That NARS lip stain looks very interesting…… I have a very quick question. Does anyone know of a good drugstore leave in conditioner? I just got my hair cut and I want to keep it healthy 🙂 Thanks
Hey Devs, I’ve used Infusium 23’s in the past and really liked it. Aussie’s Hair Insurance works great too, and the spray is very handy!
Those lip stains look like my cup of tea when I’m out and about on my bike 🙂
How is your day dear?
– Kiki
Good! The rain finally stopped and the sun’s finally out. How’s your day going?
It’s spelled “yea or nay,” just a heads up.
Hi, Jen. But sometimes I just prefer the way yay looks in print. I also spell y’all as ya’ll and use WAY more apostrophes, ellipses (in which I frequently leave off the trailing fourth period when they appear at the end of complete sentences) and hyphens than I should. What can I say? 🙂
How’s your day coming along?
I love that Estee Lauder Bronze goddess compact. Have you smelled the perfume?
Hi Sharon! Yes, I have the spray oil and love it. It reminds me of summer. 🙂 If you like that scent you might also love Bobbi Brown’s Beach.
The Estee Lauder bronzer compact is really pretty! but most of the time, if I ever purchase these LE items, they would end up in my collection instead of being used. 😉
.-= Vonvon’s last blog post… Giorgio Armani Mini-makeover, Purchase & Freebies =-.
Oh my, I could just swoon over that Estee Lauder compact! If’n it doesn’t make me look orange, it’s for me! 😀
The Estee Lauder compact looks very retro. Perhaps a bit 70’s?
.-= amy’s last blog post… FOTD Golds, Greens, Purple and Hot Pink Lips using Nars Schiap Lipstick and Nars Easy Lover Lipgloss =-.
I got the estee lauder bronze goddes bronzer from the cco, back in september.
They had run out of the no shimmer ones.So i have the skimmer one.
Love the big mirror on the compact.
Karen could you do a post on hand cream. Ive been using on,and in this cold weather its making no diference. Any recomended products would be great 🙂
The fourth NARS item I ever purchased was this NARS lipstain in Victorie. Did they change the formula? I bought mine about two years ago.
