The new, limited edition Kiko Finish Line Lipstick ($5.90) arrive with the Kiko Beauty Games Collection for Summer 2016. I’m not exactly Olympic Game material but I can play some role in the beauty games that’s for sure. Seriously though, Kiko’s Beauty Games Collection actually creates an interesting idea. Imagine if we had a yearly beauty game event? We could enroll all our “best athletics” and they can compete in games like applying your lipstick the way Molly Ringwald did in the Breakfast Club, a completely useless but awe aspiring trick. Of course, there would also be a Liquid Eyeliner Event where “athletics” would be judge on their quickness applying a perfect cat eye look.

What sort of events would you like to see in a beauty games event?

You brain storm while I cook up this review of Kiko Finish Line Lipstick!

Hey, New Yorkers! You can get your Essence Cosmetics fix at Harmons now! The entire line of Essence Cosmetics will be available at the Harmons Face Values location in Chelsea at 675 Ave of the America (at 22nd Street) starting as of yesterday. Sadly, I got the information a little late because there was an in store even that happened yesterday with freebies and a gift! Sorry!

But hey, still good news that Essence is at Harmons. I sure hope that it will become readily available at all Harmons locations! Essence started out at Ulta and recently become available at Target. I’m quite happy to see it branching out to other stores and locations.

So, if you live in New York do drop by and see what goodies are available.

Best part?

Essence Cosmetics are as little as .99 and no more than $9.99! Great for the beauty budget shoppers!

Yes to Miracle Oil Argan Oil Mud Mask ($3.29) is a new Brighten & Condition mud mask that contains argan oil to soften, smooth, and nourish skin. Yes to Miracle Oil Argan Oil Mud Mask is one of several new mud and sheet masks that Yes to recently introduced to the drugstore market. Mud masks are becoming increasingly popular in both the high end world as well as the budget one with brands from Bare Minerals to Josie Maran to L’Oreal creating their own formulations.

I find that mud masks always promise many of the same things one of which is hydration. However, many contain kaolin clay which I personally find very drying. So, almost 99% of the mud masks I’ve tried have always been a very drying experience versus a hydrating one.

That’s where Yes to Miracle Oil Argan Oil Mud Mask actually succeeds! This is a moisturizing mud mask or as I would call it more of a cream one.

Take a look!
