Coming Soon: Lola Cosmetics Prime Effects Pure Pigment Infusion
Last month I told you all about the new Firming Sensation Tinted Eye Balms from the Lola Cosmetics Summer 2008 Explore the Lola in You collection, and now I've become privy to the final launch in the line, called Prime Effect Pure Pigment Infusion ($26). What makes this product unique is that it embodies characteristics of a foundation, a primer, and a moisturizer.
It's very sheer, smooth, it blends easily and provides decent coverage.
Dew It Up For Spring
Last night at the A Night of a Thousand Lights Benefit for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, the women arrived wearing gorgeous Marchesa gowns and subtle springtime makeup — just look at that gorgeous glow on Joy Bryant.

2009 American Music Awards: Toni Braxton
Over the past few years, Toni Braxton's hair has gotten both longer and a lot lighter. Here, she's tossed her caramel-toned locks into a loose updo, letting her flawless skin shine through. As for her makeup, it's all about creating a dewy finish, with the emphasis on the eyes.
Doing Drugstore: Maybelline SuperStay 24hr Makeup and Concealer
For those of you that are fans of Max Factor's Lasting Performance Stay Put Makeup (RIP, old buddy), perhaps you might find somewhat of a replacement in Maybelline's new SuperStay 24hr Makeup ($10). The consistency, which lies somewhere between Revlon's ColorStay and Lasting Performance (see my comparisons here), skews more on the slightly creamy end of the spectrum, so it's quite easy to blend.
As for the wearability factor, SuperStay definitely delivers, although by the end of the day, I did have some slick spots in the t-zone.

Reader Review of the Day: Almay Pure Blends Makeup
Almay Pure Blends Makeup ($12) is part of Almay's recently launched eco-friendly line. I'm usually a little bit cautious about drugstore stuff that says it's "natural," especially when it comes to skin care, because it sometimes means essential oils that irritate my skin, but reader longhornlass04 has had a great experience with this one. She says:
"I actually bought this on clearance, because I think they just updated the packaging.
MTV Video Music Awards: Beyoncé
So it's not the best photo of Beyoncé (she sort of looks like a wax figure — have you played our game?), but we're not talking about her deer-in-headlights stare, we're talking about her beauty choices. She wore her hair long and curly with noticeable regrowth (is it a trend?) next to super-huge hoop earrings. Her voluminous hair really took center stage, while her makeup was noticeably soft: dewy skin, arched brows, pink lips — nothing shocking there.
