Stila All You Need is Love Blush Palette ($14) is Stila’s traditional Limited Edition Blusher that will be launching for Spring 2013/Valentine’s Day.

For the third year in a row Stila introduces a brand new blusher palette that pretty pops of pink and a sweet little “Love” design on the powder.

I don’t have a ton of details about the palette but hopefully you love this image as much as I do. I have all the palettes that Stila has introduced up until now and of course the All You Need is Love Palette will happily join my collection.

I don’t have an exact launch date but I imagine towards mid January, end of, you should start seeing this online as well as in stores.

What magic is this new NARS Reflecting Setting Pressed Powder?! The new NARS Reflecting Setting Powders comes in a loose and pressed formula for Spring 2013 and I honestly didn’t give them a second thought after posting about it recently.

But now the pressed version has changed my life.

It’s been a while since I said YOU need this but dude, you NEED NARS Reflecting Setting Powder.

Wet n Wild Cover All Cream Foundation is possibly one of the nicest budget foundations I’ve come across in a long time. At $3.59 with a $1 off coupon I paid a mere $2.59 at Harmons for it.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Spot Concealer + Treatment is a newly formulated Instant Age Rewind Eraser Concealer which contains vitamin C that helps fight dark spots over time as it covers them. Maybelline promises to visibly decrease dark spots in as little as four weeks so not only does it concealer but it treats aging spots, dark spots, acne scarring, and sunspots.

Concentrated vitamin C is a tricky little ingredient and isn’t always stable or effective at brightening/whitening. I’d probably have to try this for a year or more to see the best results so I’ll only be discussing the texture, coverage, etc…of this as a concealer but not as a treatment.

I like the idea it could be treating my problem areas though and if it works all the better. I’ll update this post should I see any results in the future on dark spots.
