Top 10 New Lippies for Spring 2016.

With all of the new spring collections coming out this time of year, there is one product that I look at more than other and that is the lip products. You know I love a great lippie and I have more lip products than anything else in my vast makeup collection. There are a lot of great new lippies coming out this spring be it in the collections or as sole launches. From lipsticks, balms, glosses — just about everything you can think of in a range of shades from barely there to the bright and bold. I have cut through the clutter and searched for the bests of the best to bring you the top 10 new lippies for spring this year.

Top 10 new lip products for spring: the best lipstick, lipgloss, lipliners, lip balms and matte lipsticks that you need in your cosmetic bag for the season!

1. Mally Beauty H3 Lip Gloss - With triple the hydration of a normal lipgloss, this gloss seriously quenches the lips as it perfects your pout with gorgeous (or gorgois as Mally says) color. The gloss is super shiny and comes in six beautiful shades: Shimmering Nude and Pink Daisy are my faves. $20 at Ulta and QVC.

2. MAC Huggable Glass - The launched late last year when the Huggable lipsticks (my favorite) became permanent, but these are perfect for spring. These are super shiny glosses that hug lips and feel real creamy on. They are called dual-phase; I'm not sure what that means but it imparts a lot of color that lasts for hours. There are twelve shades in all with most of them lighter and a few brights. The perfect nude glosses are Kind Kiss and Sweet Persuasion. $20 at MAC Cosmetics and Macy's.

3. Milani Amore Matte Lip Créme - This brand new highly pigmented lip cream is a liquid-to-matte formula that dries down to a soft, velvety finish that's really unique. It actually makes look plump and full and the colors are absolutely rich and bold. In fact, there are 10 shades to choose from, ranging in nude, which is still quite bold, to very dark. $8.99 at drugstores and mass retailers like Walgreens and Target.

4. pixi by Petra Lip Contour Liner - With the younger generation wanting to over-line and make their lips fuller and more plump, us ladies over 40 are just wanting our lipstick to look perfect and not feather outside of the lines. This new lipliner is perfect for doing just that. This Invisible-Smudge-Stopper liner is moisturizing, non-feathering, smudgeproof and a line-filling treatment all in one. It is transparent so you can wear it with any shade too. $12 at pixibeauty.com and Target.

5. Avon True Color Perfectly Matte Lipstick - This new lipstick delivers a flawless matte finish without drying lips out so you get full-on color that doesn't cake or crack. I like how weightless the formula is; it glides on easily and leaves a velvety smooth finish. It seals in moisture too so it is really comfortable to wear as it lasts throughout the day. There are 12 shades that range from nude to rich. $9 at avon.com or through representatives.

6. Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor - When looking for rich, true, long-lasting creamy matte lipcolor, take a look at this new one from Revlon. It's velvety smooth on the lips the colors are simply gorgeous. There are 8 shades to choose from with my favorites being HD Addiction, HD Flirtation and HD Seduction. $7.99 at drugstores and mass retailers like CVS, Walgreens, drugstore.com and Target.

7. COVERGIRL Oh Sugar! Vitamin Infused Balm - This is like a really indulgent lip treatment that feels just like a lip balm on the lips with the bonus of added color. Made with ultra-rich ingredients that contains things like grapeseed oil, avocado butter and Vitamins C & E, lips feel completely hydrated and nourished with a hint of tint. There are ten pretty shades available. $7.99 at drugstores and mass retailers like drugstore.com, Target and Walgreens.

8. Honest Beauty Truly Kissable Lip Crayon - This lip crayon leaves lips with a wash of shiny color in gorgeous spring hues. Infused with nourishing ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter, it feels amazing on the lips. It lasts a good part of the day too. There are six easy-to-wear natural shades to choose from. My favorite is Sheer Petal Kiss. $18 at honestbeauty.com.

9. Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Lipstick - The much anticipated collaboration continues with a collection of eight must-have lipsticks. I think all of them are musts as they range in color, pigment and texture. From a matte red, sheer and shimmery nude (I have to have this one) to a bold fuchsia that is SO Gwen, these are lippies that you know you can't go wrong with. $18 at urbandecay.com, Sephora, Nordstrom, Ulta and select Macy's.

10. Clinique Pop™ Lacquer Lip Colour + Primer - I love a high-shine liquid lipcolor and that's what this one is with the bonus of it lasting for hours and hours. This is very shiny and very colorful as in full coverage in one coat yet it feels like nothing but hydration on the lips. It comes in six great shades. Check out Happy Pop for a perfect dose of bright coral for spring. $18 at clinique.com, and at Clinique counters in Macy's, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus.

NARS Spring 2016 Color Collection Nouvelle Vogue

The Hammamet Duo Eyeshadow features two shades of shadow, one matte and one shimmery bronze. The matte shade is a nice medium beige tone that looks nice all over the lid. I paired it with NARS' Abyssinia on my brow bone then used the beige shade on the lid. I used the rosey bronze shade from the right side of the compact into the outer corner of my lid and then smudged it into my crease and lower lash line for a romantic smokey look.

Rosecliff Lipstick is the perfect soft rose lipstick. It leaves just a hint of rose, but is like a nude rose with a soft satin finish. I like layering the Instant Crash Lip Gloss over it for sure. Instant Crash is a barely there nude shimmer with a hint of peach to it.

Currently Obsessed: RevelationsRX for Younger Looking Skin Now.

SPONSORED

Have you figured out that I am really obsessed with my skin and skin care lately? I don't know if I am overly obsessed because of the cold winter weather and my skin is super dry and looking older than ever or maybe it's that I am in my forties and I am getting older. All I know is that I am constantly on the hunt for the best skin care products to help get my skin into optimum condition and looking younger. My latest discovery is RevelationsRX by Nuvesse Skin Therapies and this is a brand that you need to know about.

RevelationsRX is all about really advanced skincare products and that's because all RevelationsRX products are able to deliver up to 26x more ingredients into the skin’s deepest layers — that's so much more than your average skin care products. I've been using the brands skin therapy serums, which come in both daily Serum rollers and weekly serum infused masks and my skin is looking better then ever.

You know I love a mask and I always incorporate a mask into my weekly Sunday night spa night and RevelationsRX has four serum infused masks which, of course, I've tried all.

Deep Hydrating & Brightening Face Mask - This mask hydrates instantly with Hyaluronic Aid, brightens and evens skin tone with Vitamin C and smooths and refreshes, leaving it overall more radiant.

Firming & Anti-Aging Face Mask - This mask helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with Copper Peptides as it hydrates the skin with Hyaluronic Acid to leave it super soft and smooth.

Anti-Aging & Fine Lines Eye Mask - This mask helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. It hydrates with Hyaluronic Acid and brightens and refreshes with antioxidants Vitamins A & C.

Tired Eyes, Puffiness & Dark Circles Eye Mask - This eye mask helps reduce the appearance of dark circles and wrinkles around the eyes as it instantly reduces puffiness. It also smooths and hydrates the delicate skin with Hyaluronic Acid.

My favorite mask is probably the Deep Hydrating & Brightening Face Mask and I'm obsessed with both of the eye masks too. If I could use those everyday, I would be very happy and my skin would definitely be thanking me!

As my skin has been so dry lately, the extra infusion of Hyaluronic Acid in the Deep Hydrating & Brightening Face Mask really helps to hydrate and soothe my skin. I feel the difference immediately. The Vitamin C helps to brighten my skin and that is something that is noticeable as soon as I remove the mask as well. It's almost as if I went and had a 90-minute facial and paid $$$ for it — it's that effective. I really am obsessed.

Both the Anti-Aging & Fine Lines Eye Mask and Tired Eyes, Puffiness & Dark Circles Eye Mask are super nourishing and work immediately to relieve the aging issues around my eyes. As soon as I remove the biocellulose eye masks, these feel like a thick gel-mask, my eye area is so smooth. The masks instantly reduce puffiness and brighten up the area. I swear that the lines around my eyes are softened more and more each time I use one.

RevelationsRX works quickly, achieving visibly smoother and more radiant skin with one 20-minute mask use. I saw the results. The products work so well because RevelationsRX products use patented Cellulation™ Technology, which helps to deliver up to 26x more active ingredients below the skin’s surface, where many skin issues and signs of aging begin.  RevelationsRX was created by Nuvesse Skin Therapies who first discovered this penetration technology in wound healing science. They put it to work in their serums where it just works phenomenally well. I don't know about you, but if I can deliver ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamins A, C, E and powerful peptides among many other ingredients that are proven to work deeper into the layers of my skin, I am going to use it.

For everyday, I have been using RevelationsRX daily Serum rollers, twice a day. These are super convenient and I love the rollerball packaging because I can use them on-the go. While you might think that is odd, you won't when you hear about the eye serum and you are battling tired eyes.

Like the RevelationsRX masks, there are four daily Serum rollers that do the same as the masks.

Deep Hydrating & Brightening Serum

Firming & Anti-Aging Serum

Tired, Puffiness & Dark Circles Eye Serum

Anti-Aging & Fine Lines Eye Serum

Obviously, I am using these serums daily, twice a day as I see fit, based upon my skins needs. I simply roll the serum over my skin to deliver the ingredients into my skin as I would a normal serum. Where the uniqueness comes in, is with the eye serums and rollerball packaging. I have been toting around the Tired Eyes, Puffiness & Dark Circles Eye Serum and using this a few times during the day when I'm not feeling my best or need a little perking up. This serum roller has been a life saver! When I apply this serum directly to the skin around my eyes, my eye area is instantly smoothed out as puffiness is decreased and I look more refreshed in a few seconds. It's like a quick-pick-me-up.

All of these products are available on RevelationsRX.com.
