Lorac Light Source 3-in-1 Illuminating Primer ($35) is a new luminous primer that can be used to prep skin for makeup or even used on top of it or mixed with foundation or moisturizer to brighten and highlight skin. It’s odd because I felt for sure that Spring 2017 Makeup and Beauty Trends would perhaps bring a lighter load of highlighting and strobing products but that doesn’t seem the case at all as we’re seeing even more highlighting products released the last few weeks.

Lorac’s new Light Source 3-in-1 Illuminating Primer does have some advantage in the fact the multi-use formula can be used in a few different ways. This one acts to primer for makeup sure but you can also add it to your foundation or a moisturizer to add a subtle glow to your skin. It’s probably better used mixed versus applying it directly under makeup or at least I’m assuming it will be. You can also use it on top of your makeup, patted gently onto your complexion. The high-pearl finish captures the light and diffuses the appearance of pores and imperfections while providing a soft luminosity. Not to mention it promises to preserve your makeup all day.

It also happens to be available in two shades! Dawn is the lighter, cooler shade and Dusk is the darker, warmer shade.

Lorac Light Source 3-in-1 Illuminating Primer is available now at Ulta.com.

Looks like Kat Von D Lock ‘N Load Makeup Setting Mist is now Kat Von D Lock-It Makeup Setting Mist ($14-$26). This new weightless mist promises to lock makeup in place for 24 straight hours. This comes housed in a special aerosol-alternative sprayer to deliver the continuous fine mist of an aerosol but in an environmentally friendly format.

It’s created for all skin types and has a light cucumber scent. After makeup application apply a fine mist of the spray to face and allow to set. The quick dry formula will create a seal around makeup so it remains fresh all day without leaving skin tight or sticky.

This one is available in a 1 oz size for $14 or a larger 4 oz size for $26.

Kat Von D Lock-It Makeup Setting Mist is now available at Sephora.com.

I don’t have this as of yet so I can’t compare it to the ingredients of the original Lock ‘N Load Makeup Setting Mist. I will say the new packaging sounds great. One of my main issues with facial spray is I always feel like I’m hosing my face down with water and ruining my makeup. I like this packaging and it sounds like the misting will be a lot lighter using this bottle. That could convince me to use setting spray more!

We shall see!

If I try it, I’ll let you know what I think.

Hey Dior Addict Lip Glow fans! There’s a new shade available for Spring 2017! Dior Berry Addict Lip Glow is the newest and fourth shade available in Dior’s popular color changing lip balm range. This sheer balm enhances your natural lip color with a burst of deep berry while moisturizing lips and protecting them with an SPF 10. I dunno about you but when I think Berry shades, Clinique Black Honey always comes to mind. Wondering if Dior’s new shade is anything like that?

Dior Berry Addict Lip Glow is available now at Sephora.com.

I’m a lip balm h0r so this is on my list not to mention my lips are cracked and dry as hell at the moment thanks to this cold that’s kicking my butt.

Oh off topic who watched Sleepy Hollow this week? I’m traveling this week so, I caught up with it my iPad early Monday morning during my travels. Way to reinvent the wheel! They introduced a slew of new characters and it no longer takes place in Sleepy Hollow which I find somehow stupidly funny (it’s sets in Washington now). The show in a train wreck but who can take their eyes off Tom Mison. It’s about the only thing that keeps me coming back!

I’ll leave you with this, which is SO not work safe, you’ve been warned. Later on you call tell your friends how you learned that Tom Mison was on Dairy of a Call Girl at Musings of a Muse 😉
