Red Lips Part II: Bold and Bright

· Leave a Comment

If you are looking for a red lipstick to light up your whole face, try the relatively new Stila Acai Crush Lip and Cheek Stain. With any stain, of course, you will want to practice, but especially so with the Stila Crush line – I love them, but the brush can be a bit unwieldy if you don’t take the time to get the layering down, and once it dries it stays in place no matter what (which is a good thing most of the time, bad if you goof), so precise application is important. Once you get the hang of application, you can do one thin layer for a very wearable ruby red, or two layers for a beautiful bright red. This is two layers pictured below – bold yet wearable.  Find Stila Lip & Cheek Stain in Acai Crush at Sephora.com.

New Product: SEPHORA COLLECTION Refillable Lipstick Palette

· Leave a Comment

I have a million pretty but empty refillable palettes sitting in my makeup desk draw. Great idea, but it’s so much easier to just throw the product into your bag instead of depotting it. Well, Sephora may have changed that.

Check out the SEPHORA COLLECTION Refillable Lipstick Palette not only does it come with a sleek black palette, but it also comes with everything you need to create your palette, including a silicone melting cup and spatula to get it into the palette wells. Spoon in the lipstick, put the cup in the microwave for 1 minute, and pour into the well, for a professional looking palette! Since you are melting lipsticks, it would be possible to combine colors to get that elusive perfect shade with a little experimentation!

Find the SEPHORA COLLECTION Refillable Lipstick Palette at Sephora.com for only $8.

Why Liz Earle Eyebright Soothing Eye Lotion is Special

The weather report says the pollen count is low in my area. My itchy, puffy eyes say otherwise.

The Pollen Problem and Puffy Eyes

As the leaves turn colors and start falling off the trees, allergy season is going to hit in full force, all too soon. And there are plenty of other reasons for puffy eyes – a late night, catching a cold, or too much sodium can all make you puffy and tired looking. I had pretty much given up on reducing puffiness, since a lot of products in this catagory tended to just make my undereye bags look and feel worse – it’s incredibly delicate skin, and many ingredients that work fast also irritate the skin.

M.A.C. Cosmetics Fast Response Eye Cream works well for me, but I can’t use it days running since the caffeine deflates the puffiness – and then irritates my skin if I use it for more than one day (of note – that’s just me – I know someone who can use it everyday with amazing results).

Why Liz Earle Eyebright Soothing Eye Lotion is Special

So when I was sent Liz Earle Eyebright Soothing Eye Lotion, I was guardedly hopeful – the word “Soothing” caught my eye. When your eyes are itchy and your skin is puffy and raw, isn’t soothing what you want?

Soothing Ingredients

The ingredient list looked great as well, since it contained Aloe Vera, and sometimes when the skin around my eyes is really, really raw I’d clip a stem from my trusty Aloe Vera plant and tap the pulp and juice on the skin.

So, has the product made it into my daily fix it kit? Definitely. Put a little on a cotton pad in the morning, lay back for a few minutes (it actually works pretty fast, but it’s nice to have a reason to lay back down for a few in the morning…), and your orbital area will be perky and bright, and ready for makeup.

The formula is actually more liquid than lotion, and the generous 5oz size will last you a good long time.
