News:

NYX Cosmetics have debuted quite a few things that look very interesting. There are new shades in the matte lipstick collection as well as the Butter glosses and their cream matte liquid lipsticks. They also have a new cream contour kit, an ombré lip duo, colored felt tip liners in bold colors like cobalt blue, even a new lipstick line called Full Throttle lipstick. They also have a few new primers and some other really fun stuff! You can check it all out right now on Ulta. Com!

Mac Cosmetics has finally launched their new and permanent lipstick line! There are 15 colors ranging from hot pink to warm nude, and are 20.00 each. They should be in stores January 7th if you're waiting to swatch them in person. If you can wait they are available on Maccosmetics.com!

Anastasia Beverly Hills surprised us all with 2 new highlighting palettes or Glow Kits! They are 40.00 each and include 4 colors. Gleam

With silver packaging looks like the cooler version with creams and pink, That Glow with rose gold packaging is the warmer version. They are limited edition for now and you can get them on AnastasiaBeverlyHills.com.

Colourpop Cosmetics have released their newest collection Where the Night Is, another beautiful collaboration with one of our favorite beauty gurus Kathleen Lights! The collection includes a quad of very unique colors that you can buy as a set or separately, and 2 lipsticks and matching pencils. The colors of the quad are more on the unique side. The standout being Telepathy, a metallic olive gold, and Taurus, a warm brown lipstick with matching liner. You can buy them right now on Colourpop.com!

My pick of the week is the new Too Faced Bon Bon palette! I wanted to resist this palette but once I tried it I fell in love. The pinks are saturated, pigmented and buttery, it smells like chocolate, and the packaging is sturdy and beautiful. If you are a fan of the Too Faced formula and love their Chocolate Bar palettes, you won't be disappointed in this one. Now that Sweet Peach palette needs to come out and I'll be complete!

News:

Too Faced is coming out with a waterproof version of their very popular mascara, Better Than Sex. The packaging will be different, a metallic blue with water droplets. It will be debuting early 2016!

The Kylie Lip Kit restock came and went within a minute last week! At this point there looks to be no exact date for a restock but they are supposed to be permanent.

My picks of the week are the new Glitter Injections pressed glitter pans, perfect for the holidays! They are pigmented, packed glitter that you can buy as pans. One swipe on the pan and you can cover the lid, with next to no fall out. These do not need adhesive, which is great for those that don't like that extra step. You can check them out at Glitterinjections.com for 10.00 each. They are restocking their sold out colors the beginning of next year, and are permanent! You can also use the code December15 through the 25th to get an extra 15% off your orders of 45.00 and more. Happy Holiday shopping!

News:

Too Faced has us excited again, this time for a Peach inspired palette! The packaging is similar to the new Bon Bons palette, but with peach imprints and a beautiful peach color. The colors are very warm toned with peachy pinks and warm neutrals. Can't wait to find out more about this one as well as the PB&J inspired palette as well! No date yet but we should find out soon!

The legendary Pat McGrath has announced her next product, Phantom002. This time it looks like it will be a set that includes gold, blue, copper, and fuchsia pigments, black eye gloss, black caviar gel liner, and 2 brushes. The set will be 240.00 and will be available on December 15th online at www.patmcgrath.com

Anastasia Beverly Hills are debuting their new Fall single shadows on December 15th on anastasiabeverlyhills.com. There are 15 shades of mattes and metallics in gorgeous jewel tones like Prussia, and intense cobalt blue, and Fudge a matte chocolate brown from their amazing Shadow Couture palette.

My pick of the week is the Wet & Wild Fergie Take on the Day Shadow Primer. Not only affordable at less than 6.00 retail, it is up there with any higher end primer on the market for quality. My shadows last all day until I remove them, and they also are intensified. Those who wear indie pigments know that primer can really make a difference with pigmentation, and I always recommend this primer first for those new to primer. You can buy it any retailer that sells Wet & Wild like Target and CVS!

News:

The Pantone colors of the year have been announced and are Rose quartz pastel rose, and Serenity a pastel cornflower blue. Sephora is continuing their tradition with a Pantone inspired collection that includes a pastel gloss set, two lipsticks, and a 15 shade palette. They are up on the site as coming soon so if you want to take a look at them! No date yet but should be soon!

Colourpop Cosmetics has just debuted their newest collaboration which I think is pretty special. It is an eyeshadow Puppy Love which is a soft Pearlized pinky beige. All proceeds go to support Best Friends Animal Society and their No Kill effort. If you are an animal lover and love Makeup, it's a win win!

For your liquid lipstick lovers, NYX is coming out with a new line of Lingerie Liquid lipsticks. The colors we have seen so far have been various shades of nudes, and are supposed to be a moussey matte formula. Should be coming 2016!

My pick of the week is Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm spf 25. As the colder weather hits us, the need for more moisture is very important (Not to mention if you are a fan of the drying formula of liquid lipsticks). I have chronically dry lips and this one one of the few balms that I can say actually heals cracked and dry lips. I especially love it as a night lip mask! They are very affordable at 7.50 and you can often find them in holiday sets at Sephora and Ulta.

News:

The annual subscription also comes with a free 350 palette. You will also get access to new products first and exclusive discounts. You can go to Morphebox.com to subscribe!

The very hyped Kylie Jenner Lip Kit debuted on Cyber Monday in 3 sets of liner and matching liquid lipsticks, 29 each. The colors Candy, Dolce, and True Brown are rumored to be coming back in a few weeks, and new products debuting in February.

Mac is debuting their new cushion foundation Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact as well as a new complementing brush online December 17th and in stores on December 26th. Great way to try the Korean Bb Cushion craze by a brand you love!

My pick of the week is the My Pretty Zombie contour duo in Pancakes (a white highlighter with green, blue, and purple sparks) and Do Not Sit Next to Dennis ( a cool toned light gray with purple undertones). They both blend beautifully, and the contour is amazing for creating that shadow in the hollows of your cheeks. The duo is a steal at 15.00 for both. You can get the duo as well as her others amazing blushes and shadows on pretty-zombie.com.
