Musings of a Muse

The Dior Summer 2012 Collection releases the magic of Dior Addict Lip Balm in a new shade of coral. I’ve made no secret about my absolute love for Dior Addict Lip Glow and this is basically the same formulation in a new stunning shade of coral for Summer.

The shade keeps right on trend with the peachy, orange Pantone goodness we are seeing popping up at the moment but brings it to us in a more subtle, wearable shade with a moisturizing formula.

Happy Days!

As we head into Summer, Tinted Moisturizers as well as BB Creams will start to trend. It’s a given that once the warm weather gets here every single brand will be pimping out their tinted moisturizer.

I have drier skin and Tinted Moisturizers are a great way to even out my skin tone while providing some a nice hydrating finish.

The new Lancome Renergie Eclat Multi-Lift Multi-Action Tinted Skincare goes beyond the simplicity of a tinted moisturizer.

I’m legendary for loving Sephora but hating on their makeup collection. You have this vast boutique of quality makeup and a company that chooses to bring it all to you in one location but they proceed to fail at their own cosmetics collection.

How is that possible?

But facts is facts, Sephora has evolved and instead of having to sort through a ton of hit or miss products, most of what I’ve purchased lately, has been great.

Proof in point, the new Sephora + Pantone Collection. What a incredible collection. The packaging, the pricing, the quality…it’s all so very up scale. Well done Sephora.

Here’s a few images of the new Sephora + Pantone Color of the Year Collector’s Edition Set.

Sephora Be You Lip Balm is an extension of their recently introduced Color Reveal Lip Balm. I liked Color Reveal a lot. It was cheap, it flushed my lips very nicely, and I only complained about the taste….pretty darn great for a self confessed ranter about the Sephora Makeup Collection.

So, I was pretty excited about the Be You Lip Balm but I’m not sure why they bothered changing the name. The color is called Coral Twist and they could have simply just included a new shade or added it to the Color Reveal Lip Balm line up right? But hey, I don’t express knowledge on the mysteries of makeup marketing.

Let’s take a look and see if Be You Lip Balm is as great as Color Reveal.

I had no idea how popular Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzing Powder was until everyone started hounding for the deets about the new, lighter shade available.

Wow, this has quite a cult following and after trying it out I’m understanding why everyone is excited about a lighter shade.

POOF! That’s the sound of dreams for a MAC Pantone Collection going up in smoke.

Sigh.

MAC Hey, Sailor for Summer 2012 might capture your interest but I call disappointment.

Oh baby…I can use some time away, some fun in the sun, not by the beach though, a pool…I don’t dig seaweed and sand.

No time now though but can do some Summer glowin’ with the new Too Faced Royal Oil Body Bronzer.

Oh Fresh, the things you do to me.

Fresh Sugar Coral Tinted Lip Treatment is a new variation of their popular tinted lip balm in a lovely dark peachy coral shade. I’m loving it.

Have you tried it yet?
