July/August New Beauty Releases

Hey Beauty Gems -

Guess whose back!!!!   My apologies for the long disconnect. Personally, it's been a very chaotic few weeks for me.  So much so that I unfortunately had to dedicate my time solely to personal matters.  I thank you for sticking around to still follow me.  It's a tough job trying to juggle but someone has to do it.  Seriously, I love writing and talking about all things beauty.  This is something I'm passionate about and want to get more involved in.  Although I can't give 100% of my time, I do my best to give as much as possible. OK so on to the good stuff.....

Unfortunately, summer is winding down and we're vamping up for fall.  With a new season on the horizon comes new product releases.  This week, there are alot of new releases hitting the market.  Here's a glimpse of what's new on the beauty scene:

• L.A. Girl Glazed Lip Paints (12 new colors) -  In the spring, L.A. Girl Cosmetics released there new Glazed Lip Paints.  These lip paints were a hit.  Check out My Two Cents on the Glazed Lip Paints here My Two Cents: L.A. Girl Glazed Lip Paints.  The Lip Paints were such a hit that L.A. Girl Cosmetics decided to release 12 new colors for the collection.  The colors were just released for sale TODAY.  Some of the new colors include some nudes and deep berry shades.  Visit the L.A. Girl website to check out the latest shades. 

• Makeup Geek Vegas Collection -  Marlena and her team of beauty scientists have done it again. This week, MUG is launching their first ever eyeshadow palette, Vegas Lights.  The palette includes 6 (5 are new) shades.  The remaining items in the Vegas collection include 5 pigments (3 which are new).  The palette will retail for $37.99.  Pigments are $6.99 each or $33.99 for all 5 pigments.  For my beauty enthusiast, the entire collection can be purchased for $69.99.  The estimated launch date is August 20th.  However, you can sign up through the website to receive a pre-order invite.  NOTE: I'm sure this collection will sell out fast so be on the lookout.  For more information and to check out Marlena's video on the new collection, click here MUG Vegas Collection.  

• Stila 20th Anniversary Product Releases -  Can you believe Stila has been around for 20 years???? Wow, a true testament of an amazing brand.   Definitely one of my favorites.  As part of the celebration, Stila has released a few eyeshadow palettes, mascara and lip glosses. Packaging is amazing of course.  I wouldn't expect any less from Stila.  I first spotted the palettes on the Sephora website. There are 4 Eyes are in the Window palettes in all (called body, soul, spirit and mind; neutral to cool tone colors) with 12 eye shadows per palette.  There are also 6 lip glosses and 1 mascara in this collection. Just some more items I've added to my shopping list. You can purchase these items from the Stila website and Sephora.  Note: Only the 20th Anniversary palettes and mascara are available for purchase through Sephora; lip glosses available only through Stila. For more information, click here Stila 20th Anniversary. 

There are more releases to come in the upcoming weeks.  Some products I haven't mentioned that were released a few weeks back.  I've been working very hard behind the scenes.  As a result, I'll have blog posts up every day this week so stay tuned!!

What I'm Loving....L.A. Girl Lip Glaze in & IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Poreless HD Micro Powder

Hey Beauty Gems!!

Happy Thursday!  Another week is quickly coming to an end.  Time for your weekly installment of "What I'm Loving".  Due to the holiday last week, I wasn't able to post a "What I'm Loving" for July 3rd.  Today I figured I would do a 2 for 2 to make up for that.  I'll start off with my new love that's been my go to color...the L.A. Girl Glazed Lip Paint in Blushing.

 

I've been rocking this color for about a week straight now.  It's a beautiful mauve that you can wear day/night.  Why I love it so....

• Buildable color -  for a more intense look, just add as much product as you like. 
• Glossy finish (without being too over the top)
• Color stain -  Even after eating or drinking, you're still let with a pretty good color stain on the lips
• Great color pigmentation - the littlest amount of product will give you that "wow" color payoff

If I apply the lip paint with a lip brush, I really don't have to use a lip pencil.  The color seems to stay in place. I do know that this will not be the case with some of the more intense colors. This is certainly a color I will keep in constant rotation throughout the summer and fall. A detailed review on the L.A. Girl Lip Paints will be posted soon.

Next the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Poreless Finish HD Micro Powder (the product name was changed to Bye Bye Pores Silk HD Anti-Aging Micro-Powder) has been my saving grace. This powder is one of those products I clearly underestimated.

Summer for me equals 'Problem Child Pores".  It's mission critical that I pay close attention to keeping my pores at bay.  If not, they will truly get out of hand.  The Bye Bye Pores Poreless HD Micro Powder to the rescue.  You can use the powder all over the face or just in troublesome areas.  I use this powder specifically in my t-zone and the sides of my nose. Why I love it....

• Minimizes pores
• Contains additional added nutrients for your skin
• Concentrated (a little is all you need)
• Consistency ( finely mill powder form)
• Packaging makes it easy to travel with

That will wrap up this week's post.  Feel free to share your favorites of the week by commenting below.  As always, you can follow me for the latest and greatest in all things beauty via Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter @AngBeauty411.  Enjoy the rest of your day and as always....happy shopping!!
