First Aid Beauty FAB Pharma Arnica Relief & Rescue Mask arrives today and just in time for Winter because if you follow me on Instagram you know I posted a pick of my car cocooned in ice. Yup, Winter is here in New York and it’s only going to get more brutal!

When the Holiday spirit begins to die down and we start settling into Winter hibernation mode that’s typically when brands come at us with new skincare launches. Do they know our skin needs a bit more TLC during the cold or are they just cashing in on the “New Year, New You” mentality and hoping that we’ll all want to revamp our skincare routine and check out some new launches? Who knows but First Aid Beauty FAB Pharma Arnica Relief & Rescue Mask has launched at the right time that’s for sure.

This one is for drier skin that’s irritated and needs a little calming! It’s a leave on mask that can be used overnight that acts to hydrates skin as well as calm redness and irritation that may have been brought on by the cold. It does this using Arnica Flower but ironically it’s really low on the ingredients list plus arnica extract used in larger amounts on skin can actually prove irritating.

Hmmm! Guess it’s good it’s found lower on the list of ingredients. In the end, the First Aid Beauty FAB Pharma Arnica Relief & Rescue Mask does contain some great hydrating butters like shea and cocoa not to mention it also contains hemp and coconut oil as well as glycerin. For $32, you’d expect a bit more though but fans of First Aid Beauty might deem this one a worthy pick up.

First Aid Beauty FAB Pharma Arnica Relief & Rescue Mask is available now at Sephora.

I’m convinced that Stila Shine Fever Lip Vinyl will be amazing because no lie, Stila hit the ball out of the park with Beauty Boss Gloss. You’re crazy if you haven’t snatched up that Ethereal Elements Beauty Boss Lip Gloss Set for $30 bucks at Ulta (it comes with six full-size Beauty Boss Lipglosses!). Beauty Boss Gloss was a sleeper hit for me. I didn’t expect much when I purchased a single shade months ago but I instantly fell in love with the formula. That’s why I’m almost positive they’ll give us some awesome with their new range of Shine Fever Lip Vinyl Lipsticks.

Available in 14 shades, Stila Shine Fever Lip Vinyl ($24) is a new pigmented liquid lip lacquer that plumps lips and hydrates them with argan oil while providing lasting shine and color.

Shades:

• Hot Pursuit: a revved-up red vinyl
• 0 to 60: a seductive deep plum
• Speedway: our classic Patina shade is reincarnated as a dusty-rose lacquer
• Gear Up: the nudest pink with golden twinkle
• Horsepower: a true, vivid, pop-down-the-top pink
• RPM: playful, vivacious violet
• Supercharge: a juicy bite of berry with magenta pigments
• Amp It Up: a bright coral concoction
• Hot Rod: a bring-it-on beige for not-so-boring days
• Full throttle: a full tilt nude with amber undertones
• Fast Lane: a not-so-naughty navy blue
• Victory Lap: a pedal-to-the metal cool grey
• Turbo: a totally chill, orchid toned mauve
• Pit Stop: a warmer, rise-to-the-occasion rose mauve

Stila Shine Fever Lip Vinyl are $24 and available now.

Hi I’m old and ornery because I think the CBD skincare craze is overused simply for shock value. I went to the E.L.F. site yesterday and noticed they had a Puff Puff Primer and I’m was all like, come on, really? Why though?

CBD is the non-intoxicating component of marijuana it isn’t actual marijuana. As in you can’t get high from CBD so, why name a primer “Puff Puff”. Oh I know why! Marketing. I guess Puff Puff Primer sounds edgy and cool.

The thing is CBD oil has a good deal of antioxidant properties but so do a lot of other different oils. It’s just one of many. It’s no more powerful or better than a large variety of different antioxidants out there. This is in fact why I dislike the marketing behind it. It’s just another stupid trend. I think brand’s use it to capture the eye of younger consumers.

What do you think?

Is CBD oil source of super power awesomeness for our skins?

Or are brands just latching onto it to be appear more edgy?
