Spotted: New L'Oreal Visible Lift Color Lift Blushes

Whew! I've got a lot to say about this new blush collection from L'Oreal and I haven't even seen these babies in person yet!



But first: I received several pics of this collection and I'm so very sorry that I can't share them all here. I've said it before, but I just want to reiterate that this time of the year is extremely chaotic and I always find myself behind in posting new product pics,

A HUGE thanks to several of you for the heads-up that right now on the Rite Aid Facebook page, there is a coupon for $4 off any Physicians Formula purchase (hurry though, because this is only valid for the first 20,000 fans).



I probably don't have to tell you how nicely this will pair with this deal this week (now through 1/5):

New 2013 product wrap-up and info

As you all know, I've been doing nothing but new products posts this week (and I'm still not done!), and I've had a few of you ask if I could do a wrap-up post featuring all of the new 2013 products to date. Well, that would be a very long post, so I think the easiest thing to do, if you'd like to see every single new 2013 product I've shown you to date, is refer you to the "categories" section

The Lipstick League – week of 12.24.12

Lipstick League Question of the Week 


Do you have any beauty resolutions that you’ll be making for 2013? Or anything you just want to improve/avoid/get better at this year when it comes to beauty?



G's answer: I stopped making resolutions long ago because I never keep to them. But I would really, really like to do a full reorganization of my nail polish stash in 2013. Right now

Spotted: New Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream SPF20 for Combination to Oily Skin

This is probably one of the most anticipated launches of the year for me personally. As you've probably noticed, I have reviewed quite a few drugstore BB creams in 2012, but not the Garnier BB Cream. Why? Because I've had countless people tell me that it does not work for oily skin (my skin is super oily). 



BUT, I heard a while back that Garnier released a "for oily skin" version of their BB

Spotted: New Kiss Everlasting Gel Polish Color Gel, French Manicure Kit and LED Gel Lamp

Spotted: L'Oreal Colour Caresse Shine Stains

I think this is probably my 20th post about these much-anticipated lip colors from L'Oreal (dupes for the YSL Glossy Stains), so until I actually review of them, this will be the last for now!

Sidenote: In Europe these glosses are called Shine Caresse (which is what I've been referring to them as for weeks now). But now that they've launched in the US, you can see that the US name for them is

Spotted: New NYC HD Color Trios Eyeshadows, Big Bold Curl Mascara and more

If I had a dime for every time I heard someone say that they wanted to see more affordable, pigmented, neutral eyeshadows at the drugstore, I'd surely be rich by now. Well it seems that NYC might be granting our wishes with their new HD Color Trios that promise "high intensity color" and come in lovely neutral shades (which don't appear to be big on shimmer or sparkle). 



And that's not all:

Spotted: New NYC Applelicious Glossy Lip Balms and Big Bold Pumping Lip Glosses

I'm in cute overload right now, my lovelies! NYC just released new Applelicious Glossy Lip Balms that are tinted and have little apples on them. What? Yeah, these are too adorable.



Also, they have a new line of glosses called Big Bold Pumping Lip Gloss. Reader Tara spotted the display at her local CVS and was nice enough to share some pics and info.



NOTE: these are not limited edition

Spotted: Eight new NYC Long Wearing Nail Enamel shades

It has been forever since NYC released new shades in their 99-cent Long Wearing Nail Enamel range but when you see these new colors, I think you'll agree it was worth the wait!



I'm delighted to tell you that reader Tara spotted EIGHT new shades in a display called Color Burst! at her local CVS. Tara was nice enough to share pics and include descriptions of each shade for us.



Note: I

CoverGirl Queen Collection All Day Flawless Foundation + SPF 20

After yesterday's post about the new CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation, I received some feedback from readers regarding the shade selection of that collection. I know that is it extremely frustrating that certain drugstore brands don't always offer shade options for deeper skintones so I'm hoping to give you some good news today!



First: Several of you who have seen the new CoverGirl

The new Nicole by OPI collections have landed at Kmart

Thanks to reader Letty for sharing some pics of the new Nicole by OPI collections, which have landed at Kmart.



Sidenote: I usually try to stay pretty neutral when it comes to my opinions of product tie-ins, but I have to admit that when I first read the press release for the Modern Family line of nail colors, I thought, "What the?!?" I adore Modern Family and I've never missed an episode, but

Attention Organix fans! We've got three new formulas hitting stores now, including one that's a little bit different than any of the other shampoos and conditioners I've seen from Organix to date. Reader Kristina spotted a new Organix display at her local CVS and was nice to share some pics:

The retail price of this BB cream is $18 (1.0 oz) but if you've ever shopped at Ulta before, you know that with a little bit of patience, you'll never have

Reader Tara actually spotted this display at Walmart and sent me a detailed email about it the first week of December. I really wish I could have posted it earlier, but I still wanted to share it with you considering that different Walmarts put things out at different times, and you might still have a good shot at finding these if you're looking for them. I've also heard from several readers (

So...did you receive any beauty-related gifts this holiday season? Share with us!



I haven't celebrated Christmas yet (we're postponing it until both of my parents are feeling better) but I can share with you what I got for my birthday, which was on the 13th. For a while I was collecting the Escada limited edition fragrances (my love affair with those started when they released Tropical

Weekly Drugstore Makeup Sales (12/23 - 12/29)

Apologies for another abbreviated sale round-up this week. As I mentioned a few days ago, both of my parents are ill right now and it's kind of turned the holidays a bit upside-down and made it challenging to keep the blog updated this week. 



Since it's already Wednesday, I thought I'd at least post links to the weekly circulars so that you can check out the sales for yourself this week.

Post-Holiday Beauty Sales going on NOW

Just a quick heads-up that I've just updated the Holiday Beauty Sale Round-Up (scroll up and click the banner above) with various post-holiday sale listings for Sally Beauty, Sephora, Too Faced, B&BW and more.

Do you have beauty products that you reserve “for holidays only”? If so, what are they?

Review: Badger Sleep Balm

I don't know about you, but I'm prone to bouts of insomnia, especially around the holidays. My mind's always racing with things I need to buy, things I've forgotten to buy, people I need to call, etc. etc. and the list goes on. So I thought this review might come in handy if you're a bit stressed during this time of year too, and need just a little bit of calm at bedtime.

Last minute gift ideas from Butter LONDON (swatches and mini reviews)

I'm not big on holiday gift guides or round-ups and I have done very few of them here on the blog over the years. But when Butter LONDON sent me some gift sets recently and I tried them out, I knew that I wanted to do a gift idea post because, well, these products are fabulous. I honestly think that any of these sets would make a beautiful last-minute gift for friends or family. I would be

Review: Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair Day and Night Moisturizers

I don't review a lot of skincare products on my blog because, quite frankly, they take a lot of time to test (how can you know if a skincare product is working if you only use it for a week or two?). But when Neutrogena contacted me about trying their new Rapid Tone Repair moisturizers, I jumped at the chance because I absolutely loved their Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer SPF30 (click here for

To say that the last few days have contained a flood of emotions is a gross understatement.

Coming Spring 2013: Physicians Formula Endless Color Custom Nail Trios

I honestly cannot count how many times on this very blog that I have said that I wish Physicians Formula would come out with a nail polish line. So you can imagine my pure shock, surprise and elation when my pal Halifax sent me a tweet letting me that PF is, in fact, coming out with a polish line called Endless Color Custom Nail Trios for Spring 2013:

The Wednesday Question (discontinued products edition)

Continuing with my year-end questions, here's one about discontinued products:



What drugstore beauty product did you find yourself missing the most this year?


The product you name doesn't have to have been discontinued in 2012; I just want to know what discontinued product you missed the most in 2012. For me, it would be Revlon ColorStay Finishing Powder in Brighten. If you forgot about

After six days of wear...

As promised when I reviewed the new Revlon Brilliant Strength nail polish last week, I just added pictures of my manicure after six days of wear. Click here to see how this polish held up!

Free shipping on all orders at Prestige (for the rest of the year)

Attention Prestige fans! I know that some of their products are a bit harder to find in certain areas (especially that adorable Vanity Flair palette--you can click here for my pics of the shades) and also their new Duo-Chrome(!) Eyeshadows and Dramatic Minerals shadows, which I haven't seen anywhere in my area yet, so this might come in handy:

Sneak Peek: New Wet n Wild Cover All Cream

A month or two ago, Wet n Wild tweeted that they were coming out with a new CC cream and I was so excited by the idea of it that I put a sticky note on my computer monitor reminding myself to get more info. Well thanks to reader noonish, I now have more info to share with you!

The Lipstick League – week of 12.3.12

  

Lipstick League Question of the Week 



Share with us some ideas for fun stocking-stuffers to give to fellow beauty-obsessed friends or family this holiday season.

 



G's answer: One of my favorite things to do is put together little manicure sets for my friends and family--even if beauty products aren't their thing (actually, it's even better if they're not beauty-obsessed because

I cannot believe I remembered this...

So I was doing some research on pH levels in skincare the other day, and it hit me. The words "Propa pH" came into my mind and I thought: "Was there actually a skincare brand called Propa PH back in the 90s??"



So I did a little googling and BAM:




 

 Please tell me I'm not the only one who remembers this brand?!?!

New Big Lots sightings

My last Big Lots sightings post from November included Orly polishes and Maybelline shadows (click here if you missed that post) and today it's all about L'Oreal HiP and Revlon (with some new Soho brushes and Max Factor sightings as well).  



First up, reader Selinabikechick left a comment on the You Tell Me page today letting us know about some things she just found at her local Big Lots.

CoverGirl Simply Ageless blushes: $1.49 at Ulta

Of all the cream blushes I own (high end or drugstore), nothing, and I mean nothing, has the staying power of CoverGirl Simply Ageless cream blushes--even on my super-oily skin. I adore these blushes (I'm wearing Lush Berry right now as I write this, in fact).



So I want to give a huge thanks to reader Natalia for letting me know on Facebook that right now at Ulta (in-store only) these

In honor of National Cotton Candy Day

Did you know that tomorrow, December 7th, is National Cotton Candy Day? Yeah, me neither! But when I heard about it on the radio, I thought: MUST. DO. COTTON. CANDY. POST! (Hey, it's as good of an excuse as anything, right?).

So with that, here are my picks for some fun, affordable cotton-candy-scented goodies that you can purchase in honor of this national "event":

New Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream! Skin Perfecting Tinted Moisturizer

Note: I didn't add the exclamation point in the name of this product--it's written that way on the tube.



A huge thanks to reader PuffyLuvzMusik for the heads-up that Olay just released a new BB cream that is now available on the drugstore.com website. I believe this is the first US BB cream that actually calls itself a tinted moisturizer (I'm perplexed!):

Review: New Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Liquid Metal Eyeliner Trio for Nude Eyes

Of all the products in the new Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Nude & Smoky Collection, the one I wanted the most was this Liquid Metal Eyeliner Trio for Nude Eyes. The idea of a metallic taupe liner is so appealing to me, so as soon as I saw it at my local CVS, I snapped it up.



I've been playing around with this trio for a few weeks now, wearing the liners in a variety of ways, so keep

Many of us have seen this display over the past couple of months, which contains three Limited Edition Baby Lips shades (I actually reviewed Coral Crush and Twinkle here). But there are also two additional "mystery" shades that none of us

The new Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Haircare Collection is here

If you're too young to remember, Vidal Sassoon actually had a drugstore haircare line back in the 70s, 80s and early 90s. The signature brown bottles aren't the only things that are still burned into my memory though. It was the tagline that I remember most:






 

 "If you don't look good, we don't look good: Vidal Sassoon!"

 

Enough reminiscing. Let's fast forward to 2012 and look what he

What holiday collection is on your must-have list this year?

 


G's answer: Oh gosh, there are so many holiday polishes that I want this year (number one on my list is Zoya Logan). As for makeup, believe it or not, the one holiday set I've been wanting the most this year is the Sephora Draw the Line Eyeliner sampler, but it's currently out of stock.

My new favorite wintertime hand cream: Herbacin Kamille Paraben-Free Glycerin Hand Cream

Herbacin Kamille is one of those hand creams that's been around forever, and you just can't mistake its green tube with the daisy on the front. I'm sure you've seen it around and, if you're like me, you may have wondered if it was any good. Well I'm here to tell you that I finally bought a tube and that this oldie is indeed a goodie. It's the one hand cream I've been reaching for over and over

Review: Fing'rs Flirt Nail Art Stamping Kit 32370

When it comes to inexpensive nail stamping kits that you can find relatively easily in stores (vs. ordering online), I've tried and reviewed a few already (Salon Express and Essence). But now there's a new one on the market, and it's made by Fing'rs and can be found at Rite Aid and Walmart (I'm thinking CVS and Walgreens probably have it too, since they both carry lots of products by Fing'rs and
