BellaSugar's Top Five Cream Eye Shadow Picks
The invention of cream eye shadows has had a time-saving impact on my life. Not only are they easy to apply (you don't even need to use a brush), but depending on the color, they can also double as a highlighter. They're a cinch to travel with since they can't spill, and they typically dry to a nice, powdery finish.
A Few New Luxury Tinted Lip Balms
Lip balms are one of my favorite products and I always get excited when a new one makes an appearance in the marketplace — especially if it's tinted, because it feels good and it looks good. I've tried each of these new Prescriptives and Lola Cosmetics tinted balms and they all satisfy my balmy cravings.
Korres Lip Butter ($9) is an all-natural hydrating tinted lip balm that contains a high concentration of shea butter to help soothe and heal chapped lips.
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.
Coming Soon: Lola Cosmetics Firming Sensation Tinted Eye Balm
Due out in stores this Summer is the newest concealer launch from Lola Cosmetics called Firming Sensation Tinted Eye Balm ($22). What makes this concealer different from the rest is that it's designed to moisturize, brighten, cover dark circles and it even helps heal blemishes — all without the use of oils, fragrances, or parabens.
They call it a refining concealer because it contains hyaluronic acid to keep skin moist throughout the day.
New Product Alert: Lola Cosmetics Refine Line Concealer
Yesterday afternoon, I tried the newest product launch from Lola Cosmetics called Refine Shine Concealer ($22). What makes this concealer different from others is that it contains hyaluronic acid and brightening properties to keep your skin looking and feeling hydrated, smooth and even a little bit dewy.
It has a medium-to-thin creamy consistency (so it's not going to cover as thoroughly as, say, Time Balm concealer), but it will cover red spots and dark circles.
Need a Laugh? Three Mirthful Beauty Options
I love it when companies choose clever and uplifting product names to put a smile on your face. The theme of these items is laughter, and I think they make great gifts or pick-me-ups for yourself.
Space NK Laughter Body Wash ($28) is a gentle liquid and moisturizing body wash made from fruit extracts, rosemary, lime, ginger, juniper, and rosemary.
New Product Alert: Lola Joy Laptop II
This fab new Lola Joy Laptop II is part of the Holiday 2007 Unforgettable Lola Collection. If you liked the Jetaway Laptop from summertime, then you'll love this holiday version which houses four shades of highly pigmented powder shadows and/or blush, two shades of high-shine lip gloss, and a double-sided applicator.
I am loving this ingenious swivel-top compact palette which makes beauty-on-the-go easy and practical.
New Product Alert: Lola Refine Shine Anti-Shine Gel
Lola Cosmetics Refine Shine Anti-Shine Gel ($24) is a water based mattifying liquid that can be worn either under or over your makeup. Creator Victoria Jackson wanted to invent something absorbent that can be applied to the skin anytime you feel a like you're becoming a little bit greasy.
This blotting gel is formulated with tons of antioxidants like guava and grape seed which help to close pores, soften wrinkles and create a velvety smooth finish.
Beauty Mark It Reminder! Waterproof Makeup
Waterproof makeup isn't something I want to wear every day, but I'm grateful there's so much to choose from nowadays. Not just the old-reliable mascara, but also eye shadows like this Lola Cosmetics SocialEyes Gel Eye Colour, plus liners, cheek colors, and foundations that stay put through Summer swims, sweat, and smudges.
So if you haven't already, don't forget to share your favorite waterproof makeup in this week's Beauty Mark It challenge.
Bellissima! Lola Cosmetics Laptop Palette
Alright, I've got to share this one with geeksugar and the rest of the Sugar girls, since we're all a little bit obsessed with technology. (Can you tell?)
New from Lola Cosmetics is this adorably named Lola Laptop Palette in Jetway ($36). The geek-chic compact is equipped with a high-tech swivel mirror that manages many different angles.
