New Product: Benefit Cosmetics Bella Bamba

December 31, 2010 · Leave a Comment

There’s a gorgeous new blush that I’m dying to try from Benefit Cosmetics – Bella Bamba. It’s a watermelon pink with gold undertones – from the look of it on Sephora’s site, it looks like a beautiful, universally flattering color. It kind of reminds me of the color I aim for when I mix together three different Nars blushes for that perfect pinch of color. Try it high on the cheekbone almost near the temple- it will draw the eye up and make the top of your cheekbone seem fabulously sculpted.

Find Benefit Cosmetics Bella Bamba at Sephora.com. I can’t wait to try it!

Red Lips Part II: Bold and Bright

December 28, 2010 · Leave a Comment

If you are looking for a red lipstick to light up your whole face, try the relatively newÂ 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 placeÂ 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.Â Find Stila Lip & Cheek Stain in Acai Crush at Sephora.com.

New Product: SEPHORA COLLECTION Refillable Lipstick Palette

December 23, 2010 · 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.
