I’ve only seen the Essence Smokey 2 in 1 Khol Kajal Liner ($3.49) in one shade so far but I have hopes they launch a brown shade as this multitasking demon is all the cool.
I should say I’m not really a kohl kinda girl, I prefer regular old eyeliners. But Essence’s formula is actually kinda nifty.
Here’s why!
Sephora Pro Stippling Concealer Brush ($24) is a new concealer brush specifically for applying concealer under eyes. Fans of the Sephora Pro Airbrush Concealer Brush #57 will likely love this one especially if you use very concentrated, pigmented concealers.
Here’s why!
J. Cat Beauty Wonder Lip Paint is a total cheap dupe up of OCC Lip Tar!
Not that Lip Tar is expensive at this point as many of the shades are $9 since they brand repackaged them. Lip Tar is a pretty darn great product but I’ve always felt the packaging is faulty as the formula separates and gets rather gross. A quick shape of the tube typically solves this issue but there have been times I grab a shade and forget to shake, proceed to squeeze, and I get a bunch of oil separated color. Gross!
But this isn’t about Lip Tar, this is all about J. Cat Beauty Wonder Lip Paint and its cheap as chips $4.99 price tag.
Skincare is abound for Spring with many, many new offerings from a variety of brands including the hot and upcoming Milk Makeup Collection. Milk Makeup hits the pavement running with some of their new skincare picks like a Cooling Water which is soothing, hydrating stick made from sea water that caffeine! They also have a something calls Sunshine Oil that comes housed in a roller ball which can be applied anywhere from head to toe.
But Milk isn’t the only brand launching hot, new skincare though! There’s also plenty of goodness upcoming from Jessica Alba’s new Honest Beauty brand as well as new SkinFix products.
Let’s take a look!
Charlotte Tilbury Mini Miracle Eye Wand Dynamic Duo Lift & Light Reflector ($45) is a dual ended concealer slash eye cream that promises to give eyes a lifted, wide awake appearance. Since I’m having great success with the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Trio I purchased I decided that my next purchase would be the Mini Miracle Eye Wand Dynamic Duo Lift & Light Reflector as I liked the idea of not only having a little concealer but also an eye cream to prep with.
I wasn’t taking into consideration how quickly I’d run through this product because you are sharing a space between two different formulas which means each is split into nearly half the amount you’d get from say Touche Eclat Radiant Touch. Charlotte formula is also a little pricer by $3. Now my personal recommendation and one that is a little cheaper than both Charlotte Tilbury and YSL would be Dior Skinflash Radiance Booster Pen which is $38 (I did a little YSL and Dior Comparison years ago if you want to take a look).
Anyway, this is a review of Charlotte’s formula so let’s backtrack a little bit.
