NEW: NYX Butter Lip Balms

I have been waiting for these to be released since the day I heard the rumors of them buzzing! I'm in love with the NYX Butter Glosses, if you haven't already read my review. And I can't wait for these to fall into my fingers... I'm expecting to love these, so they better measure up to my high set standards.

Available in 8 shades, all named after delicious desserts that make me hungry, these lip balms claim: "Addictivly soft and scrumptious. Perfect for adding a subtle hint of color for a naturally flirtatious pout." 

Knowing the creamy, glossy, and hydrating feel of thee Butter Glosses, I'm hoping the balm is right up that ally!

$3.99 each. Now available at Ulta in stores and online.

NEW NOVELTIES!? Urban Decay NEW RELEASES!!

Is the excitement boiling inside you too?

Now available at Ulta Urban Decay has just released a few new products I can't wait to share with you.

Anti-Aging Primer Potion:
A new spin on their original primer potion, Urban Decay promises crease free shadow while minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in just 8 weeks! Oooh La La. Sounds great to me. For an extra $4 on the already pricey primer, Urban Decay says their new primer contains "Optical blurring pigments minimize flaws while Dermaxyl and Kalpariane fight the signs of aging."

Revolution Lipstick:

Urban Decay's new lipstick is: "Badass luxury in a tube." Is it now? I just might be interested. Urban Decay promises insane color and crazy shine that plumps lips and makes them cushion-y soft. Can we just take a minute to discuss the names of these lipsticks? I posted the cleanest one down below, but all though they are a bit naughty... come on you gotta laugh a little.

Naked Skin Ultra Definition Pressed Finishing Powder:

There has been buzz about this new powder for months now and if I do say so myself I'm a little bit intrigued. You see, Urban Decay says this is no ordinary pressed powder. "The next evolution in Naked Skin, Urban Decay's addictively silky, weightless finishing powder has a luminous, demi-matte Naked finish that blends flawlessly to set makeup and cut shine." I can't wait to see what "demi-matte" means. Sounds very luxurious.

Nail Color:

Lastly is Urban Decay's new and "EXTREMELY Limited Edition" nail colors are here. Since these are extremely, and not just regularly, limited edition, I suggest you grab these while you can if you're interested.

What will you be trying? Anything strike your fancy?

NEW NOVELTIES!? NYX Sets available at Ulta

Gosh don't you just love it when brands release sets! I mean what better way to get a good deal! So I'm here to tell you about some NYX Sets that are now available at Ulta online and in stores. (and if you order online today and spend more than $25, you qualify for free shipping! no coupon required) I myself took advantage of this deal and you will see an Ulta haul in the near future.

So first off is one that has been around for a month or so now and is back in stock online!

NYX Enchanted Kiss Butter Gloss Set. If you haven't read my review of these awesome glosses you can do so here. I love these and I encourage you to try them out while this set is available. For $10 you get three glosses, which is a great deal considering they are normally $4.99 each.

NYX has also released the Parallel Worlds Box which was inspired by The Mortal Instruments (City f Bones). This set contains a 6 shade smoky eye palette, the perfect pink blush, a neutral pink matte lip cream, black liquid liner, a vibrant jumbo eye pencil, and volumizing mascara. $24.99 for 5 products that range from $3-$7 each is a great deal!



It's no surprise that lip sets are my favorite! NYX seems to get the hint 'cause I've got one more to share with you. NYX The "It" List The Pinks. This awesome set comes with 5 different products for $19.99, all in different shades of pink.

Who doesn't love finding great deals on nail polish? For $19.99 you can get the NYX Love is in the Air Nail Art Collection. This set includes 18 shades of polish ranging from brights, to pastels, to neutrals. 

Sadly, this last one is available online only. The NYX Nail Jewelry Precious Pearls nail art set. This comes in 3 shades; Black Pearl, White Pearl, and Opal Pearl. If you're looking for those caviar nails, NYX has released a budget set at only $10. 

These sets are also available at nyxcosmetics.com 

Will you be giving any of these sets a go? Call me crazy but I already made a purchase.

NEW NOVELTIES!? POP Beauty New Releases

POP Beauty is a brand that kinda goes under the radar. Not very popular, but they have just released some new things that might catch your attention! 

First is their new Buzzing Beauty Buffer. This is a funny little blending sponge that is attached to a circular jar type base. What's unique about this is it's battery operated and it buffs the product into your skin. The sponge head is removable and can be washes. Sounds different but I'm interested! I hope I can try it out soon!  

Another new CC cream on the market! Pop's CC Cream - Colour Adapt. Pop says the formula contains revolutionary color beads that adapt to your unique skin tone! 

If you're a palette person, you may want to check out Pop's Rouge Mix - Backstage Edition lip and cheek palette. I'm not one for lip palettes but if you are, these look like some beautiful shades. 

Pop's No Clump Comb Mascara is the second of third mascara I've seen on the market that is a "comb" wand. I haven't found any of the ones I've tried to be good with length or volume but they do separate nicely. Maybe this one will be different! 

Bright Up Your Life Eyeshadow Palette. This palette comes is available in 3 different versions, with 10 shadows in each palette. 

I defiantly wanna give the the Beauty Buzzing Buffer a go! 

Anything you wanna try? Leave me a comment!

NEW NOVELTIES: New Too Faced Products

Okay, Too Faced, You're no NARS, but if you keep titling your products with... mature... content, you may be a close second.

Getting the mature content out of the way first, the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara.
This mascara comes with an hour glass shaped brush that "separates, coats, and curls each lash to voluptuous perfection." According to Too Faced this mascara is so amazing... it's better than sex.
I just might have to try this one out to see just how amazing it really is.

Now that that awkward paragraph is out of the way, the next new release is their Lip Injection Color Bomb! Moisture Plumping Lip Tint. Another jumbo lip pencil? Not that they aren't great, I just think we need to move on into another trend... I could think of 10 creative ideas apparently no brand has. *sigh* However, these have something that sets them apart. A plumper! Ooooh La La. Plus, isn't the packaging adorable? The tips look like candy! 

Lastly, Too Faced has come out with something semi unusual... their new Glitter Glaze Sparkling Shadow Top Coat! This unique item comes in 2 shades, gold and silver. Too Faces claims: "When applied to skin Glitter Glaze dries instantly and glitter formula adheres on contact." What scares me about that statement is the "dries instantly" and "adheres on contact." That doesn't sound like you have a lot of play time to get it the way you want before it sets. This is interesting to me. Like a glitter top coat, for your eyes! 

Are you excited about these new releases? Let me know what you think below!

NEW NOVELTIES!? Hhhhmm.. Stila's Version of the Beauty Blender

Different brands have released their version of the beauty blender left and right. However, we haven't seen too many from the higher end brands. 

Stila has just released their version of the beauty blender, their Double Ended Blending Sponge. Stila's version is solid black and is pinched in the middle, instead of the standard tear drop shape. This sponge retails for $12 and is now available where Stila cosmetics are sold. 

Stila has also released a new face primer in compact form, Stay All Day Prime & Anti-Shine. I played around with this on a recent trip to Sephora. It reminded me of the Mally Evercolor Poreless Face Defender at first glance. It appears white in the photo below, but in person, this is a clear, solid primer with a matte finish. It can be used as both a primer, and in place of your powder, just like Mally's version. I myself love Mally's Poreless Face Defender and I'm so glad that more brands are creating the clear/translucent gel finishing products! 

A CC Cream, in a stick! Come on people, we all saw this coming. Available in 8 shades, Stila has created it to color correct red-ness and brighten the skin.

Leave me a comment ans tell me what you're excited to try!

Keep an eye out for...

Walking around my local drugstores, I've recently seen a few new items that I thought I might tell you about so you know to keep an eye out if it's something you are looking for or are interested in trying!

Recently at Walmart I spotted some new (to the US) Rimmel products, such as:
-Wake Me Up Concealer (available in 5 shades)
-Wake Me Up Instant Radiant Shimmer Touch: A a liquid "mousse" product (available in 4 shades)
-Last Finish Soft Colour Mono Blush (available in 7 shades)

I saw all of these in the regular product sections NOT in a new display.

At Walmart and HEB (a Texas grocery/superstore) I found some new Maybelline products:

-Baby Lip Electro Collection: REVIEW COMING SOON. (Available in 6 shades)
-FIT ME Shine Free Foundation Stick: REVIEW COMING SOON. A Gel Stick Foundation with an Anti-Shine Core (available in 12 oil-free shades)
-FIT ME Blushes (New shades)

HEB did have a new Maybelline display including both the foundation and blush.
Again these were both in Maybelline's regular section NOT in a separate display at Walmart.

Also at Walmart I spotted Loreal's new Advanced Hair Care line:

-"Advanced Hair Care" Shampoo's and Conditioners
-"Advanced Hair Care" Triple Resist Ultimate Strength Solution
-"Advanced Hair Care" Vibrancy dual Protect Spray
-"Advanced Hair Care" Power Moisture Moisture Rush Mask
-"Advanced Hair Care" Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm

I will have a review up on one of Loreal's new hair masks, not sure which version yet though. Keep an eye out!

Talk to you soon!

NEW NOVELTIES!? Maybelline New Products Launch in the UK!

I was super excited when I stumbled upon these NEW products from Maybelline on their UK website. Fingers crossed these products make it to the US soon! I'm dying to try!

Take a look,

Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream: 
A new version of their original Dream Fresh BB cream, Maybelline has now launched the dream Pure BB Cream! Available in 2 shades: Light and Medium. Made for acne prone, oily skin. Maybelline says: "Our best blemish fighter that also covers. 8-in-1 with Salicylic Acid. For healthier and clearer looking skin today and tomorrow." I myself can't wait to try!!

Maybelline Colossal Smoky Eyes Mascara:
This one definitely intrigues me! A new version of their original Volum' Express Colossal mascara, Maybelline now has The Colossal Smoky Eyes. Maybelline claims: "Kohl effect pigments for MATTE lashes." Matte eyelashes? Is that implying that regular mascara's have a non-matte finish? I suppose this is true as there are some mascaras that give a sheen or gloss to the lashes. I'm interested to see how Maybelline attempts to make my eyelashes "matte!"

Maybelline The Pop Sticks by Color Sensational: 
These are again a giant mystery. Many people stated they saw these at CVS and RiteAid in February of this year, in the US! At that time they were released as a limited edition collection. These were formerly released in the US summer of 2011, again as a limited edition range. But now, they are hitting the UK! And the fact that they are on Maybelline's UK website leads me to believe they are not limited edition. So i have no idea if these will be re-re-released in the US again! (lol) Or if they are just now hitting the UK. Maybelline says: "Our fresh colour meets smooth shine... So sensational. Our crystal clear formula creates a tempting tint. Fresh shine in a stick."
I so hope Maybelline has come out with a permanent range. I wasn't able to pick up any from either limited edition collection earlier, but they looks so interesting! I really would love to try :)

Fingers Crossed that Maybelline releases these in the US!

NEW Novelties!? NYC New Products

Again, I Know! On the same trip to the drugstore where I discovered the new Rimmel products, I also discovered this new NYC display! 

NYC is one of the more cost friendly makeup lines at the drugstore, however, sometimes they can skimp on the quality of their products. (Just my personal opinion) But you love their line, take a look!

The display I stumbled upon had several nail polish duos, and some jumbo lip pencils! 

I'm not sure about the prices, or weather or not these are limited edition, so keeps your eyes open at your local drugstore if your interested!

NEW Novelties!? Rimmel London NEW Releases:

Hi again.
Hope you all are having a wonderful Saturday thus far!

Today, while walking around the beauty isle in my local grocery store (how could I not?) I noticed QUITE a few new beauty releases that I haven't seen advertised or promoted, at all! I was pleasantly surprised!
Way to keep your new launches on the DL Rimmel!

As I stated, there was no news of these coming to the US, so all information pulled was from uk.rimmellondon.com

Take A Look:

Rimmel Stay Glossy 3D Lip Gloss:
Some of you may be familiar with Rimmel's original Stay Glossy lip gloss. I personally think these are a hidden treasure of the drugstore makeup world, seeing as I think their amazing but they don't get much love in the beauty community. Rimmel has now released a new version of these lip glosses, the Stay Glossy 3D Lip Gloss. Rimmel claims: "Multi Dimensional Lucius Lips. Up to 6 hours of Hi-Def Colour and shine. Bring your lips into a new dimension with a multi-coloured shine coming from every angle! Thanks to it's new colour changing sparkles, your lips will look fuller, shinier, and with a stunning colour change depending on the light."
While looking around I did pick 2 shades up and I will have a review posted very soon!

Moisture Renew Lip Stick New Shades: 
To accompany the glosses, Rimmel has also released new shades of their Moisture Renew Lip Sticks. I personally love the original lipsticks and look forward to sorting through their newly launched shades! Rimmel Claims:Ingredients

"Lips so cared for, true colour is maximised! Maximised, radiant colour. Innovative formula with 3 super Moisturisers. Lips feel up to 70% more hydrated and up to 60% smoother! SPF 20, Vitamins A, C and E for protected lips."

IngredientsLips so cared for, true colour is maximised! Maximised, radiant colour. Innovative formula with 3 super Moisturisers. Lips feel up to 70% more hydrated and up to 60% smoother! SPF 20, Vitamins A, C and E for protected lips.
Ingredients

Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Eyeshadow Primer:

This one is actually kinda a mystery to me. Rimmel doesn't have anything on their US or UK site about this product, although it has already been released in the UK. There are very few drugstore eye primers around so it's nice to see another brand putting one out. Off the top of my head I can only think of Milani's, which is fairly new, NYX's which is only available at select locations, E.L.F.'s, which is available at target and online, and I believe Hard Candy has one? Don't quote me on that. But as far as that list goes, not every drugstore carries all of the brands listed, so it's nice to have a variety. But as I said, this product is a mystery. However, I was able to gather that this product has a doe foot applicator, and promises to "Maximize the colour and wear of your eyeshadow."

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara:

Rimmel seems to release new mascaras left and right, and to be 100% honest, I've never been blown away by the few I've tried. This one however has sparked my interest. I refrained from purchasing this time but I may go back and do so. 

"Our first ultra lengthening mascara that defies the laws of lash length!

- Length that defies limits

- Formula with Micro-Fibres

- Instant wow: Extends lashes by up to 99%

- Lash-catching brush grabs every lash for perfect separation.  No clumps!"

says Rimmel

I am skeptical when mascaras claim to do lengthen or volumize by a certain number of percents. I mean really, have you ever seen someone walking around wearing mascara that has improved their lashes by 99 percent!? I mean really. But hey, products prove me wrong and blow my mind all the time.

Rimmel Scandal Eyes Curve Alert Mascara: 
Rimmel recently released another mascara, a new version of their Scandal Eyes, Scandal Eyes Curve Alert. 'Lifts and Plumps Every Lash" with a 50% larger brush. The scandal eyes mascara wands were already ginormous. Oh my! I'm not too overly excited about this one. The previous and original formulations of the scandal eyes mascaras didn't impress me very much. They just didn't work for me. But hey, if you loved the earlier versions, maybe you'll enjoy these!

Display Picture:

Will you be giving any of these new products a go? I'll post my reviews on the ones I go ahead and try out shortly! Keep an eye out for new Rimmel London displays at your local drugstore!

NEW NOVELTIES!? Maybelline NEW releases!

Hi everyone!

No ongoing intro, this one is just too exciting!

New Maybelline products!? 

These products have now launched and should be popping up in drugstores near you shortly!

Here's your look at the new Maybelline Makeup!

Maybelline Color Tattoo Pure Pigments 24 hour Shadow:

Looks like Maybelline took their massive success with their color tattoos that they thought they'd bring out a sister product! Their new color tattoo pigments will be available in "12 explosive shades." Maybelline claims: "They create powerful color intensity and their no-mess sifter guarantees easy application. Stays put for 24 hours."

Maybelline Master Smoky Long-wearing Eyeshadow-Pencil:

Seems like everyone has jumped on the band wagon creating jumbo pencils for the eyes, lips, face, who knows whats coming next! But maybe Maybelline's is something more...? Now Maybelline releases their version of the jumbo eye pencil.

Maybelline claims: "Eye liner reinvented: Smudge it. Blend it. Love it! Mastering the smoky eyes look has never been easier. Ultra saturated pigments in a rich, creamy formula for all day wear." Hhmm.. A jumbo eyeliner eyeshadow pencil in one? This has been attempted before, but none the less, Maybelline does have a way with their liners, and their ability to create long lasting products. Maybe this one will surprise us all! Fingers crossed!! Available in 5 different shades.

Not Yet Launched in the US:

Maybelline Color Show Polka Dots Nail Lacquer:

Although this product has not yet been released in the US, it has been in Canada and the UK. Expecting it to arrive in the states, if/when it does, it will most likely be a limited edition range. (sad face) Is it just me or do you think Maybelline should expand their permanent line with all these amazing products they make limited edition!? That being said, I guess Maybelline is following the nail polish trends of this season as well as the makeup! Their new color show "Polka Dots" collection is the newest polish with the glitter and lacquer in one effect.
