Have you ever wanted to wear a lipstick but missed the high gloss of a lip gloss? Do you long for bold color without sacrificing the shine? Well if so the Korres has the answer for you! Korres has a brand new lip line called Raspberry Liquid Lipstick and here’s how it works:

Long-lasting Lipstick Color + Wet Lip Gloss Shine + Natural Formula = KORRES RASPBERRY LIQUID LIPSTICK

This new formula is water based and has two key ingredients: Raspberry and Pomegranate extracts. These extracts provide antioxidant protection. Let’s take a look at the available shades: Berry, Fuschia, Natural, Nude Beige, Red and Soft Pink (swatches below).

I’m looking forward to this new lipstick because it satisfies my need for my daily super shiny lip gloss while still giving me the color that I need. The best part is that it’s natural and full or nourishing ingredients to keep my lips super soft. Have you given Korres Liquid Lipsticks a try?

While at The Makeup Show I was lucky enough to try Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics and I fell in love with their Hi-Definition Hydrating Mineral Perfecting Powder. My makeup looked fresh, my skin was shine free and I felt like I wasn’t wearing a thing.  This powder is one of my new favorite things!

Tom Ford is launching a new lipstick line called Private Blend Lip Color set to release in the US on June 1, 2010 (launching in April in Europe). The line will include 12 shades embossed with TF initials on the top of the lipstick and encased in an ivory and gold tube. Tom told WWD, “This is my take on 12 classic lip colors. I took the most universally flattering colors that a woman can wear, and then I re-imagined them in a modern and authoritative way. These are signature lip colors for the makeup connoisseur.”

The collection will be available Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman for $45. I must admit that $45 is a bit steep for a lipstick, but the sheer glamour of it makes it a must have item for me. I wonder how many ladies out there would be willing to shell out that much moolah for some lipstick, would you? I often say that if I love something I don’t care how much it costs, I’m still going to buy it. So with that being said if these colors are “universally flattering” I would think that that fact alone would make the purchase worth it. I don’t know that I would buy all 12 shades but I certainly wouldn’t mind having at least one tube in my makeup case.

While browsing around Sephora I came across yet another palette that I just had to try. Too Faced Cosmetics brings us a Deluxe Palette named Fun in the Dark which comes with a light-up mirror, hence the name. I liked the idea of being able to do a quickie touch-up at a lounge without having to head to the often over crowded ladies room. So yes Too Faced, you reeled me in yet again! When I got home I tossed my purchases into my huge bag of Makeup to test at a later date, so when I finally got around to opening up the box I noticed that the light-up mirror didn’t work BOOOO! I was pretty bummed that the mirror didn’t work since this was one of the main reasons that I purchased the palette.

Take a look at the colors in the palette:

The kit contain four eyeshadows (Pin-Up, Peep Show, Full Frontal, Lucky Charms), a lip-gloss (Tropical Pink), a lipstick (Free Love), Blush (Papa Don’t Preach) and a two tone bronzer (Sun Bunny). The case has the usual Too Faced vintage images and a magnetic closure to keep the palette shut. The colors are pretty, nothing out of the ordinary in terms of shades but that can be a plus if you’re looking for everyday colors. The palette is small so it’s something that you can toss in your bag that’s neat and small. The palette retails at $32.50 so it’s pretty easy on the wallet especially if you’re a beauty junkie like me and you buy makeup like you buy breakfast.

My favorite piece of the palette is Sun Bunny bronzer, I like how it’s a mixture of a pink and gold shimmery tone which would compliment just about any complexion. My least favorite would be the Tropical Pink lip gloss which looks great in the palette but when applied it looks more like a clear gloss with flecks of glitter. The shadows apply smoothly and are highly pigmented which I like – they feel like velvet on the skin. Overall this is a great kit that is easily worth the price because all of the items purchased individually would cost much more. If you decide to purchase this kit just be sure to open it up to make sure that the lights work before purchasing. Go ahead ladies, get Too Faced!
