Butter London Glazen Blush Gelee ($26) is a new take on their Glazen Eye Gloss formula but for your face. This blush has a lightweight finish with a pudding texture that applies easily and gives cheeks and face a multi-dimensional shimmery luminous finish. They launched in four shade selections and even launched a new Glazen Face Glow Highlighter as well! Seems like they are going for a Farsali Jelly Beam Illuminator type product with these two launches.

I ordered a shade as I have hopes it’ll be a cute, glow-y. But I’m a little concerned it’ll either be too much shimmer and glow or it won’t have enough pigment to actually work as a blush and instead be more of a highlighter! Or maybe it’ll be too pigment and in that case it’ll be fine I can always sheer it out with a brush or a sponge.

Shades:

• Flicker
• Dazzle
• Glimmer
• Sparkle

Some of the shades are odd like Sparkle which appears brown! It looks more like an eyeshadow than a blush but promo images can be very deceiving.

I just hope I don’t regret the purchase.

We’ll see!

Clarionic and NYX have teamed up to bring a new kit to your skincare world which includes a limited edition Hot Pink Radiance Brush Head which also doubles up as a lip scrub brush.

Say what?

Ok, so I own the Radiance Brush Head and its claim to fame is it eases dullness while removing excess oil. Obviously, I am oil-free (HELLO dry skin!) but the promise of easing my dullness skin was to great to pass up. I use it regularly and I like it well enough but I’m not really sure it eases dullness. On that note, I will say the bristles are quite soft but soft enough for my lips? I dunno.

This new Clarisonic Infinitely Better Lips Kit ($29) is cute and actually prices right but sort of gimmicky too. First off it’s $29 and it includes a limited edition brush head as well as an NYX Epic Ink Lip Dye in Slay along with a 1 oz Refreshing Gel Cleanser. Brush heads are typically $27 each so for an extra two bucks you get the full-size lipstick as well as a deluxe sized cleanser. Cool.

But they market it as a brush that’s gentle enough for lips which I’m a little iffy about. The brush head might be gentle for your lips but the actual rotation of it is quite fast so, I’m not sure how well it would do on my lips. It might be a bit harsh for that area. The addition of the Refreshing Gel Cleanser is a little confusing as it doesn’t quite go along with the marketing of the overall kit which is lip themed. I’d likely be way more impressed if they created a new lip scrub to go along with the brush head.

Will I try using it on my lips? Yeah, I’d probably dry it with a new brush head (I wouldn’t want to use the one I use on my face on my lips as well) but I’m not convinced it’ll be a gentle way to exfoliate my chapped, dry lips.

What do you think?
