HOT New Products: May

Hello Makeup Geeks! It’s time for May’s HOT new products. Every month I give you a round-up of all the newest and hottest products released by the major cosmetics companies. I will also share a mini-review of the product to let you know what I like and dislike about it. My hope is that this will help you narrow down your shopping list and aid you in deciding which products are best for you. Enough blabbing, let’s get started on the HOT new products. :-)

Lorac Alter Ego Lipsticks

The Lorac Alter Ego Lipsticks come in 20 opaque matte shades. These lipsticks come in a metallic tube with “Alter Ego” etched on the tube, and include a color window on the bottom so the shade is clearly visible. Sheer to the touch, but vibrant on the lips these shades are smudge proof and last for hours. Considered a luxury lipstick, these retail for the somewhat hefty price of $16.00 each.

Price: $16.00

Where to Buy: (Amazon)

IT-O2 Ultra Repair Liquid Oxygen Foundation

If you follow my videos then you know I have sensitive skin and am very careful about the foundations I use. This lightweight foundation has a light to medium coverage and is very pigmented. The dewy finish is ideal for anyone with dry to normal skin and can be too shiny for oily skin types. This product is talc, paraben, sulfate and fragrance free, which is perfect for sensitive skin. With only 5 shades to choose from, you may have to do some custom mixing to find the perfect shade.

Price: $38.00

Where to Buy: (Amazon)

Jose Maran Argan Infinity Lip and Cheek Creamy Oil

This dual purpose product comes in a squeeze tube and can be used on both your lips and cheeks. These are ideal for days when you’re wearing a BB cream and want a soft glow to your cheeks and lips. This product is oil based, so it will pick up any matte product from your skin. It is recommended that you avoid matte foundations and powders. More of a gloss and less of a stain this has a dewy and slightly tacky feel to it.

Price: $18.00

Where to Buy: (Sephora), (eBay)

Smashbox Be Legendary Lipgloss

This year, Smashbox released their new glosses. Saturated with color, yet slightly tacky, these lip glosses include a doe foot wand. The overall packaging is rather basic and feels like a drug store product. For the price, this product is lacking in quality and packaging.

Price: $20.00

Where to Buy: (Amazon)

YSL Kiss and Blush

The YSL kiss and blush is a multipurpose lip and cheek product that has an angled doe foot wand which is great for application on the lips. The packaging is unique as it looks more like a nail polish instead of a makeup product. For the most part I don’t prefer multipurpose products, although I do think this is a very innovative idea. The other downside is the price, at $40.00 this luxury lip gloss is a bit on the pricy end.

Price: $40.00

Where to Buy: (Amazon)

That’s all our HOT new products for May, I hope this helps you in deciding which products to spend your money on! As always I hope each and every one of you is staying happy and healthy. Until next time! :-)
