Skin Food Vita Water Drop CC Cream SPF 35 PA ++ was recently introduced in Korea and comes in two cute designer tubes. From my understanding the formulas are the same but the tubes they come in are different. I’ve been on a CC Cream kick lately so I was excited about trying out Skin Food’s formula.
Who knows maybe Skin Food CC Cream could become my next favorite?

Too Faced Air Buffed BB Creme Complete Coverage Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 20 Sunscreen is possibly one of the more exciting foundation releases as of late. This quite reminded me of my much beloved Bourjois Paris Mineral Matte Foundation and if it was anything like that beloved product? Well, we’d have a little piece of awesome on our hands.
Too Faced Air Buffed BB Creme Complete Coverage Makeup promises to prime, perfect, moisturize, mattify, and protect with their all in one formula. This is the first potted BB Cream as well here in the US so that alone makes it an interesting product to haul.

As I get older my eyes seem to get drier so when I heard about Etude House Nutrifull Shea Butter Eye I decided to give a try. I mean what’s more moisturizing than Shea Butter? And I can’t say I’ve seen it in an eye cream before right?
Let’s have a look!

I decided to give Avon Extra Lasting Concealer a try earlier this month since it was on sale. Hey, $4.99 concealer seemed a tempting morsel. Extra Lasting Concealer is typically $9 but Avon has had it on sale for a fiver the last month or so. This comes in 7 shades and claims 18 hours of concealing wear.
I typically don’t have a ton of issues with my concealer fading. Blame it on my drier eyes but my concealer tends to stay put once applied and very rarely fades away so I’m unsure if I really need a formula that lasts eighteen hours because if I wanted it too my current concealer can go a full 24.
But….
Anything to try a new concealer I say!

Might I recommend the Sephora Pro Visionary Highlighting Fan Brush #122 ($38)? I was discussing blushes last week like the new NARS Rotonde and Boys Don’t Cry shades and I realized how often I reach for a fan brush to apply shades like this.
I also love using a fan brush with highlighters or to apply bronzers like the new Milani TANtastic Bronzer. Fan brushes are just a little more precise at application with pigmented or too shimmery products. They pick up a hell of a lot less product than your standard blush or bronzer and make it easier to get a faint yet glowing flush of color on your cheeks without over doing it.
For heavy handed folks like me they are a beauty tool god sent.

Benefit Stay Flawless 15-Hour Primer ($32) will be available this July and you guessed it, it promises 15 hours of flawless foundation wearing. That’s a hell of an awesome claim.
According to Benefit’s marketing Stay Flawless Primer will help foundation last longer. The interesting thing about Benefit Stay Flawless Primer is the fact that it comes in an unconventional design, it’s a stick primer.
Curious?
Jump ahead!

As you know Dior introduced two new BB Eye Creams one of which is the new Dior Hydra Life BB Eye Creme and the other is the new Diorsnow BB Eye Creme.
With BB Creams being so popular at the moment I was pleasantly surprised to see Dior doing a BB Cream for eyes. Granted, Asia has so many different BB Cream type products including concealers but we have yet to see one here in the US. So indeed, I was quite excited to try this out.

Oh hello vibrant! Etude House Color Pop Drawing Show Creamy Eyeliner Pencils are a range of new popping shades of liner available for Summer 2013 that recently introduced with the Etude House Color Pop Collection.
Ok, like we need more eyeliners right…especially with Urban Decay monopolizing the unusual shades of eyeliner market right?
But…props to Etude House because seriously the Color Pop Drawing Show Creamy Pencil Collection has shades that Urban Decay hasn’t even dreamed up yet like bright orange and red. You know you want red eyeliner, don’t sit there shaking your head no, deep in your heart you kinda having this lemming for a red eyeliner.
Me too.
That’s why this collection of eyeliners appeals!

Etude House Dear Girls Be Clear Moisturizer SPF 30 is a new lightweight, whitening moisturizer that Etude House recently released for Spring 2013. It is marketed as an everyday moisturizer that gives skin a whiter, brighter appearance but the effects are temporary so no need to be scared to use it.

Secret Snow White Milky Pack is a facial mask I recently picked up from one of my favorite E-bayers. This was a tempting little morsel of a face mask since it contains niacinamide. Since it is a wash off pack you have to question whether that niacinamide is even worth the bother.
But apparently there is a method to Secrey Key’s madness.

L’Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Excess Mascara is a new formula that promises intense volume with no clumps. It has a special applicator which wipes clean as you remove it from the barrel which keeps the mascara from clumping.
As I mentioned in a few posts, outside of Black Smoke, I don’t really like the Voluminous Million Lashes formula. It’s the type of product that’s over marketed in packaging and promises and simply doesn’t deliver the dramatic results you’d expect.
Perhaps Lash Excess will change my mind.

I loved Guerlain Gloss d’Enfer Maxi Shine when I tried it earlier this Spring but Giorgio Armani Flash Lacquer Crystal Shine Gloss is topping my HG (holy grail) list at the moment and I’m urging you to try these out as soon as possible.
I think you’ll love them as much as I do!

I hate to crush your dreams but the new Fresh Sugar Shine Lip Treatment is disappointing. Being a lover of Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment I was, of course, excited about their new Sugar Shine Lip Treatment. I mean it would be incredible to have the benefits of the lip treatment but in more of a lipgloss formula ya know? A little something different…
But…

When the makeup gods created perfect lipstick Shiseido Perfect Rouge Tender Sheer was on top of the creation list. There’s something so terribly appealing about a lipstick that glides on like melted butter and leaves behind glossy pigmented color that hydrates lips all through the wear.
Surely Shiseido Perfect Rouge Tender Sheer is divine!
