Benefit Cosmetics recently expanded their Hoola line and added a liquid bronzer and a body bronzer just in time for summer. I think the Hoola Matte Bronzer is Benefit’s most famous and much raved about product and for good reason. If you have fair, light to medium skin tone this bronzer is your perfect all in one bronzer. You can bronze up the face with it but you can also use it for contouring which is very rare with bronzing powders.
MAC recently released a very summery and fun looking limited edition collection called the Vibe Tribe. The collection was inspired by the vast canvas of the desert with reckless shades of red and orange for the lips and teal, cobalt, mandarin hues for the eyes. The LE Collection has a variety of great products from eyeshadow palettes, to some pretty lipsticks and blushes.
If you’re a makeup lover you probably already own the most hyped about highlighter out there, Champagne Pop, a collaboration that Becca did with the Youtube makeup artist Jaclyn Hill. I bought that highlighter as soon as it launched and it ended up being one of my favorite highlighters. Since that collaboration was such a success Becca is coming back with a whole Champagne Collection containing a Champagne Collection Face Palette, an Eyeshadow Palette, Champagne Pop in pressed, liquid and poured form.
MAC just launched a new limited edition cream eyeshadow line called the Soft Serve Eyeshadows, a cream eyeshadow that has a unique bouncy texture that sets to a powder. The line has 12 available shades ranging from pretty neutrals to some pops of pastel shades that will be perfect for the spring and summer months.
Urban Decay is about to do their biggest launch ever, they’re launching 100 shades of their new Vice Lipsticks which will replace their old Revolution lipstick line and then some. The Vice Lipstick line will have 100 available shades and 120 shades at Sephora and they will be available in six finishes. Most of the shades from their Revolution lipstick line are making a return and they’re also adding new shades to the line. The official launch date is June 5th and all shades will be part of the permanent line.
Kiko Cosmetics is an Italian makeup brand that is very popular in Europe and it’s just gaining it’s popularity in the States. It’s a reasonably priced brand but with quality that’s comparable to most higher end brands. The pricing is almost drugstore and you’re getting the packaging and quality of a higher end brand which is pretty unique. Every year they do LE summer collections which I’m pretty excited about because they always have the prettiest packaging and great products for the summer.
