I recently realized that Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Concealer and Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer are two different products. How in the world do I let things like this slip me by?

They look so similiar I hadn’t realize it was too different concealers. Duh! Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Concealer was recently released for Spring 2013 in five selections on QVC.

One of the best parts about this launch is the fact that QVC bundles the concealer with an excellent Double-Ended Airbrush Concealer Brush much like my beloved Sephora Pro Airbrush Concealer Brush for $23.14. Where can you get a full coverage concealer and a brush for application at that price?

Dior Addict Lipstick in Candide is a new limited edition shade released with the Dior Cherie Bow Collection for Spring 2013. This mod punch pink is a shade that should look incredible on less than pigmented lips as it has the ability to create a very nice MLBB (my lips but better finish) finish.

However…on my lips it wasn’t so great!

So I’m under the illusion I can wear orange lipstick and Maybelline’s new Orange Edge Vivids Lipstick is one of my new favs. Launched with the Goes Electric Spring 2013 Collection this shade is available for a limited time at drugstores now. It came home with me after I recently discovered it at Harmons.

I slathered it on and posed in front of my upstairs bathroom mirror for about 30 minutes pepping myself to go outside with it on. I walked down the stairs to the door, almost made it outside, and ran back into the kitchen to grab a tissue and wipe it off.

So maybe the illusion I can wear orange lipstick is all in my head…but someday I will make it outside with shades like this on my mouth!
