Swatches
I picked up one of the six shades of the new L’Oreal Colour Riche By Pencil Perfect Eyeliner last week. This is a cool, retro style eyeliner as it is a wood pencil. Jeepers when was the last time a wood pencil has been seen on the makeup scene? We’ve been bombarded with so many twist up mechanical pencils I forgot real pencils existed.
L’Oreal launched these in six shades and they will probably become a permanent feature in the Color Richie line so no worries about racing around trying to locate them.
Shall we take a look?

Pur Minerals CC Cream is a new color complexion correction CC Cream formula with a broad spectrum SPF 40 that recently launched in four shades. Like many brands Pur Minerals skipped over the BB Cream option and headed straight into a CC Cream formula.
Pur Minerals does hold the market for highest SPF offerings as many of these US CC Creams are a minimal SPF of 20-30 but not much higher. This in itself makes the formula special.
Let’s have a look!

Having never tried the original Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss I can’t really speak for how it compares to the new one. Revlon recently introduced twelve brand new shades and new packaging to their Super Lustrous Lipgloss Collection as well as a new promo image featuring Emma Stone modeling these new glosses.
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss is apparently a fond favorite because I’m reading tweets, blog posts, etc…etc..about how wild everyone is for these so of course, when I noticed Harmons had a new display of these I had to grab a few.
Take a look!

Avon Totally Kissable Lip Gloss is a follow up to Avon’s new Totally Kissable Lipstick. Soon after the lipstick launched Avon followed up with Totally Kisssable Lip Gloss. It feels like such rarity for Avon to venture outside the realms of its cult favorite Glazewear formula so Totally Kissable Lipgloss seemed extra special.
Don’t get me wrong they do lipglosses here and there but it always seems like it is some variation of Glazewear. The Glazewear formula is ok but not really as incredible as it is marketed as.
I admit to being a little skeptical of Totally Kissable Gloss, I just didn’t expect much from it.
I was wrong.

Heads up concealer junkies, Josie Maran Argan Infused Creamy Chubby Concealer just launched on QVC.com in four shades. Being a rather fond fan of Josie Maran Argan Full Coverage Concealer Pen with Setting Powder but a not so big fan of Josie’s Erase and Rewind Argan Concealer or her Argan Blend Concealer had me on the fence about this new creamy chubby concealer pencil!
So far my track record isn’t great with her concealers so I wasn’t sure I needed to try a new one…I must admit the Concealer Pen is long gone but never forgotten from my mind. I loved that thing! The setting powder I never really used and the design of the entire concealer was a little off but it was thee perfect shade for me and really went a long way at brightening up my eyes and concealing my woe. I was so sad it was available for such a short time. Ever after that I’ve made it my business to try all of Josie’s concealers in the hopes it would live up to that formula and sadly none have…!
Hopefully the new Argan Infused Creamy Chubby Concealer will change my mind!?

Etude House Dear My Blooming Eyes Eyeshadow Palette is a somewhat shadow palette introduced with the My Blooming Collection. I said somewhat because Etude House has variations of this palette across the board so it could prove a little uneventful to you if you own a lot of the brand’s offerings.

The lipsticks is the MAC All About Orange Collection are a little difficult for me to pull off but I gotta admit I had a blast trying. Oranges, tangerine, sheer shades of peach…this collection has it all! In a range of seven shades I’m sure you’ll find at least one “orange” shade to indulge in from this collection!

Sephora Skin Perfect CC Cream SPF 20 ($26) recently launched in six shades. So if you’re one of those folks that might not fit into the self adjusting CC Cream range Sephora’s version will give you a few options for color.
You’ll see a harder push for CC Creams in drugstores come the Fall but right now Summer rules supreme for mid range and higher end brands that are hitting CC Creams hard. Although at the moment the CC Creams I have tried here in the US are nice enough I’m still really liking what I see from Asia and have come across a good deal of great options from our Korean brand friends.
Sephora’s CC Cream option comes as a surprise as I didn’t really expect them to embrace the trend so quickly. They, like many brands, have skipped completely over the BB Cream craze and just headed right into releasing a CC Cream. I was ever so slightly shocked at the $26 price tag I must admit and that rather low SPF 20.
But I tested it out and here’s what I think!

BRTC has released a Jasmine Waterful CC Cream SPF 50 to my absolute delight. BRTC Jasmine Waterful CC Cream launched recently in Korea and being a very big fan of BRTC Jasmine Water BB Cream I thought it was a promising addition to my CC Cream Collection. At the moment, I must say I am really loving Asian CC Creams as they offer just the lightweight coverage I seek with the benefit of correcting but not necessarily overpowering me with too much coverage the way a proper BB Cream does.
Let’s take a look!
