Whenever January rolls around the the colder weather sets in, I always feel like I have an excuse to purchase brand new skincare. The combination of a New Year combined with the cold winter air compels me to inject to try something new out.

This year there are some pretty awesome offerings and I’m having a hard time resisting.

Heads up shiny friends this new Murad Matte Effect Blotting Perfector ($39) is a sheer, liquid blotting formula that acts to mattify skin and absorb excess oil.

But wait there’s more!

While reducing shiny this acts to minimize the appearance of pores and perfect skin. Hmm! The quick dry formula comes housed in a cushion compact that has a dual compartment which holds a sponge for touch ups and application on the go.

I’m dry at the moment but believe you me I get a bit of shine in the Summer months and I used to adore Urban Decay’s Deslick in a Tube formula to reduce my shiny, oily areas. This sounds like an excellent replacement for it.

Wonder if it works?

Murad Matte Effect Blotting Perfector is available now at Sephora.com.

P.S. Happy Tuesday! I hope you’re having a good one and saying warm wherever you are! And most importantly hope you’re loving the new Spring beauty news! Anything in particular you’re hauling and eager to try?

Do share!

I have one compliant, I wish they let us get over Christmas releases before slamming us with Spring ones! My wallet needs time to recover! Am I right?

It feels like L’Oreal is on a quest for beauty domination as they have purchased yet another three brands today including CeraVe for 1.3 Billion. L’Oreal has snapped up NYX, Urban Decay, It Cosmetics, and other makeup, beauty, and skincare brands in the last three years with CeraVe, Acnefree, and Ambi being their more recently purchases.

Between L’Oreal and Estee Lauder it appears we’ll only have two major players and parent companies in our future if things keep going the way they are going. Estee Lauder acquired Too Faced Cosmetics very recently which is a major player in the mid-range makeup world. I have no knowledge of these brand’s stance on animal testing but L’Oreal as a parent brand to my knowledge does test on animals so, this could potentially make or break your relationship with CeraVe, Acnefree, and Ambi if you avoid parent companies that do test on animals.

I happen to love CeraVe so I hope I won’t see a change in the formulas and performance of the products given this new ownership.

What are your thoughts on this beauty news?
