Interesting, the Sephora + Pantone Radiant Femme Artistry has popped up at Sephora.com for sale at $39.
This was released in 2014 with the Orchid Color of the Year Collection.
The set includes:
This probably won’t last so if you want it best grab it now!
Lancome Cushion Blush Subtil have hit our shores just in time for Summer 2016. Lancome Cushion Blush Subtil is one of the first cushion blushes we are seeing here in the US at the moment but I’m positive more will follow shortly.
My first experience with cushion blush wasn’t an entirely great one. I purchased two shades of Etude House Lock n Summer Cushion Blush shades in Summer 2014 and I felt the product was very, very sheer and barely showed up on my face. Lucky enough, since that time, Cushion Blushes have improved considerably in both Korea and Japan. Considering Lancome is marketed by L’Oreal and L’Oreal True Lumi Cushion is now available at drugstores I have no doubt the follow up to Blush Subtil will be the new L’Oreal Lucent Magique Cushion Blush that launched in Japan. I’m picturing we’ll get this either for Summer or Fall 2016 (If you can’t wait that long, Sasa.com stocks it at a very reasonable price).
So, you see, yet again Asia influences our beauty trends here in the US and another prime example here of how cushions are suddenly becoming our beauty everything.
Lancome Cushion Blush Subtil are $39 each and available in six shade selections although not all retailers carry all the shades. For example, Sephora.com only has four shades available where as Ulta.com, Nordstrom.com, NeimanMarcus.com, and Macys.com seem have them all.
I’ve seen these referred to as being limited edition. I thought they were permanent but thinking about it I can seem them being potentially available for a limited time since cushion makeup does have a shelf life of around six months at best! But whether permanent or limited, I can’t say for sure.
Covergirl Katy Kat Matte Lipstick are a new demi-matte lipstick that are part of the new Covergirl x Katy Perry Collection that are launching now at drugstores.
As we all know matte lipstick isn’t exactly the easiest formula to pull off nor is a forgivable formula. Covergirl Katy Kat Matte Lipstick, contrary to their name, aren’t a full matte finish lipstick but a demi-matte one. This demi-matte finish is considerably creamier than matte formula and has a touch of a sheen plus you’ll find the formula a lot more hydrating.
Covergirl collaborated with Katy Perry to create 13 shades in the Katy Katy Matte Lipstick Collection which will get a permanent launch in July but are already popping up now at drugstores (I got mine at Harmons). Each lipstick comes in special, limited edition white packaging with Katy Perry ❤ Covergirl printed on the side (if you look at the bottom of the lipsticks there’s also a little cat ear print that embraces the shade name! It’s a rather cute little feature especially for cat lovers!).
Let’s take a look at some swatches!
Kiko Sahara Sun Eau De Toilette ($32) is one of two new, limited edition fragrances that launched with the Kiko Lovegrove Summer 2016 Collection. Sahara sun promised to be a spicy citrus scent with notes of sunshine and amber.
I’ve suddenly become the biggest fan of amber since trying Commodity Gold since getting a sample of it (and later ordering the large size) in the Commodity Cocktail Kit. So I wanted to see what Kiko’s play on amber was! I didn’t expect a dupe of Gold but I was hoping for something as warming for Summer wearing!
These new Lorac Lip & Cheek Set featuring Color Source Blush are a great pick up! I’ve been wanting to grab a few more shades of Lorac Color Source Blush so this is a perfect excuse to do so.
Each set includes a full size Color Source Blush as well as a full size Lorac Alter Ego Lipstick and matching lip liner!
