Tarte's 24/7 Natural Lip Sheers in 3 New Shades.

/

One must not forget to wear an SPF on the lips (as well as all over!). Not only are lips very delicate, they are common place for skin cancer. Being that May is Melanoma Awareness Month, Tarte Cosmetics just launched three new shades in their best selling 24/7 Natural Lip Sheer line up.


Each 24/7 Lip Sheer contains a hint of color with an SPF of 15. The formula is quite moisturizing and looks beautiful on bare lips or even used as a base for gloss.

The new shades:

Dawn - a shimmering golden nude

Twilight -a shimmering peach nude

Sunday -a shimmering deep pink

These new beauties join the rest of the six shades and are available right now at tarte.com, Sephora, beauty.com for $16 each.

Best in Bronze.

/

Testing different bronzers and self-tanning products has got to be one of my most favorite things about being beauty obsessed. I cannot get enough of a good bronzer - plain and simple. I have tried countless bronzers and continue to enjoy it. Knowing this, you should understand why I am totally smitten with this new product from Sephora. It is one of the Sephora Favorites kits and this one is their Best in Bronze.

Best in Bronze features a collection of Sephora's most popular selling bronzing products. This is truly a one-of-a-kind sampler set stocked with 10 bronzers and luminizers. Just look at what you get:

  • Bare Escentuals bareMinerals All Over Face Color in Faux Tan
  • Josie Maran Bronzing Argan Oil
  • Lorac Tantalizer Baked Bronzer in Golden Bronze
  • Too Faced Pink Leopard Bronzing Powder
  • SEPHORA COLLECTION Nail Polish in Bright Red
  • Benefit High Beam
  • TEMPTU RETOUCH Highlighter in Gold
  • Smashbox Artificial Light Illuminating Lotion in Glow
  • Tarte EmphasEYES Waterproof Clay Shadow Liner in Bronze
  • Korres Monoi Oil Bronzing Powder in Sunglow Light

So, I don't get the addition of the red nail polish in this collection, as red is the last color I think of when I think of summer nail shades. With that aside, I am wanting this set and will be picking it up when I go to the store next week to pick up my special Beauty Insider birthday gift next week.

Sephora Favorites Best in Bronze is available exclusively at Sephora, for $39.00.

MAC Summer Collection 2010: MAC To The Beach.

/

I told you it was coming, and it will be here soon. MAC To The Beach is one of those summer collections where you can't just choose a few products. I am loving each and every shade in this one. I am sure I am not the only one to feel this way either. This one will sell out in no time.

"There is fun in the sun, to be sure, but To The Beach is more of a sensual state of mind – a pleasure we all feel near the sea. The girl and boy from Ipanema, from Cap d’Antibes to West Palm Beach …All around the world, the seaside has a romance, and a kind of golden, sexy alchemy we’re all drawn to. This collection encapsulates it, with sanddabs, seashells, the magic of marine life decorating packaging in the most soothing, sultry shades of summertime. NEW! Cream Bronzer and NEW! Bronze Body Oil pair up with other faux tanners and scorching summer colours to get let you close your eyes and go To The Beach!"

The High-Light Powder is a work of art with the seahorse embossed in it. I will be picking up one to collect and yet another to use. The Cream Bronzer is also exciting me, as sometimes a powder blush can be so un-natural and this cream promises to go on and look smooth and natural.
