New: Mary Kay CC Cream

It has been quite a while since I last posted! Life has definitely gotten more hectic lately but I hope to get back to blogging more often. I have so many products to share and have really missed posting.  It's great to be back!

Since the birth of my son, my everyday routine has been scaled down and makeup has taken a bit of a backseat. I want to look put together but no longer have the time to apply a full face of makeup. My mom recently introduced me to the new Mary Kay CC Cream. As soon as I used it, I knew I had to share!

New: NYX Butter Lip Balms

I am a huge fan of NYX Butter Glosses and have several that I reach for often. I recently saw on the NYX website that they released a new Butter Lip Balm. Instead of placing an online order and waiting for it to arrive (I am impatient when it comes to new beauty!), I decided to see if my local Ulta carried them.

I had rewards club points to redeem so I dragged my hubby along with my fingers crossed that Ulta would have them in stock and that they wouldn't all be opened and used already. As luck would have it, there was a new row of Butter Lip Balms sitting in the NYX display. Some were already tested and some were out of stock but I was able to pick up four shades: Marshmallow, Biscotti, Panna Cotta, and Ladyfingers.

New: Wet n Wild In The Spotlight Color Icon Eyeshadow Medley Palettes

On a recent trip to Face Values, one of my favorite stores for new beauty products, my eyes were peeled for the new Wet n Wild Color Icon palettes. I searched the aisles and all the shelves when there they were in a display hidden behind a ladder. Tricky tricky but not even a ladder will keep me from checking out new makeup!

I purchased two of the three palettes in No Neutral Ground (34210) and A Great Glistener (34208). The third palette was heavy on the blues which I knew I would never wear. The palettes are different from their cult favorite eight pan palettes. The top row has three "shimmer overcoats" that they suggest for the browbone, the middle row has three pearl shadows for the lid and the bottom has two matte shades for defining.

Sephora Birthday Haul

My birthday was last month and my parents gifted me with some fabulous and very generous gifts including a Sephora gift card. I was debating on whether or not to save it for the Marc Jacobs Beauty launch but after seeing the product line, I decided to go a different route.

New: L'Oreal laLaque & leMatte Full Coverage LipColour

While paying a visit to my local Face Values to pick up more goat's milk soap, I spotted these new L'Oreal lip products.  Jumping on the bandwagon of crayon-like lip colors, laLaque and leMatte offer two different finishes with the same ease of application. Of course I went back and forth, trying to decide if I should pick them up. I have so many lip products already but my loving hubby reminded me that in a few weeks, I'll want to come back to get them and they will most likely be sold out. (He can be so smart!)
