A Cream Blush I Can FINALLY Get Behind: Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Blush.

/

I have a mostly hate relationship with cream blushes. When I think I love one, I use it a few times and then toss it. This seems to happen over and over because I can never keep it looking natural, and applying consistent. Maybe I am just better at controlling how I apply powder, I am not sure. But times have changed, beauty friends. Make Up For Ever has come up with an excellent cream blush that is so different and natural that it is one that I can finally get behind. This is HD Microfinish Blush. It is wonderfully different.

Notice that this creamy formula is not in a pot like most cream blushes. This blush comes in a pump in which needs to be pumped gently to dispense the tiniest amount to use. It blends seamlessly and looks more natural and better as it is rubbed in. With a combination of mattifying and reflecting powders infused into the formula, it helps to create an air-brushed, soft finish.

HD Microfinish Blush comes in 14 shades to naturally sculpt and highlight

Flirt! Cosmetics It Curl Lash Curling Mascara.

/

Flirt! Cosmetics, sold exclusively through Kohl's department stores, is launching a new mascara today. It Curl is their latest innovation with a patent pending brush to add volume and curl - just what every "It Girl" wants.

Flirt! says that according to clinical testing, when using It Curl, lashes' curl was increased by 144% immediately and volumized by 111%. That's what I like to hear. The bigger, the bolder, the better, in my opinion.

When testing It Curl, it took just two simple coats to give me the lashes I crave. I'm not sure if it was the brush or the lasting hold the formula gives, because my lashes stayed curled almost too much. For those that do not have stick straight lashes, you can skip the lash curler with this one. It's that effective.

It Curl is available today at Kohl's website and in store. The regular selling price is $14.00, but the web is telling me that this beauty is currently on sale for $10.99.

CHANEL Rouge Coco - The Newest in Luxury Lipstick.

/

We all know CHANEL and the fashion and beauty that is constantly inspired by the legend. This is latest in a new breed of luxury lipsticks, launched earlier this month. Meet CHANEL Rouge Coco.

Peter Philips, the Global Creative Director for CHANEL says, "Rouge Coco fascinates me, because I’ve never seen a texture this comfortable and easy to apply. It’s the ready-to-wear lipstick. Just one sweep over the lips colours them and covers them in a melt-away balm … I like the idea that women from the gloss generation, who are afraid of lipstick, can return to this essentially feminine beauty step with Rouge Coco.” Check out a bit about Philips and see him working behind the scenes with the beautiful Vanessa Paradis, in filming the advertisements.

What I especially love about this new lipstick, aside from the luxurious packaging, the scent, to the feel of simply applying CHANEL to my lips, is the newly infused hydration. The moment I apply and throughout the day, lips are drenched in a special Hydratendre Complex that moisturizes lips while wearing.

The colors are broken up into shade ranges.
