Mighty Shiny Lip Gels by Youngblood Cosmetics!

Beauty | 01 June 2012

 

Summer is the season for lip gloss. When the sun’s out and your lips start to dry, a simple gloss is an awesome way to add some kick to your kisser! The official start of summer may not be until June 20, but Youngblood Cosmetics has just released their Mighty Shiny Lip Gels to get you prepped. These hot little beauties are free from any sort of petroleum, fragrance, or mineral oil, not to mention cruelty-free!

We tried every single color here at LuLu*s, and what we love about them is that there’s absolutely no funny taste (unlike most lip glosses), and the finish is one that is shiny, and sheer (the actual tint is very subtle). If you love shimmer, Unveiled, Stripped, Revealed, and Displayed have a sprinkling of fine glitter in them, or just stick to pure shine with Bared, Exposed, or Confessed.

DIY: Rose Gold Eye Shadow

DIY | 31 May 2012

Rose gold is IN in a big way right now, making appearances in shoes, jewelry, and beauty products. But as common as the shade seems to be on stars like Megan Fox, Diane Kruger, Mila Kunis and Elizabeth Olsen, this up-and-coming color most likely isn’t in your home palette. No problem! You can use two existing colors to achieve this coveted look, and it’s so simple you’ll die!
What to Do: I used Urban Decay in Woodstock (fuchsia) and Toasted (sort of a suede-y bronze). Mix them one part fuchsia to two parts bronze, and there you have it! The best part about it is now you have three colors to work with instead of just one!

Retro Fox: Brigitte Bardot

Celebrity | 23 May 2012

 
 
Who could be more iconic of the swinging sixties than French model, actress, and singer, Brigitte Bardot? Known for her sexy gap-toothed grin and a bouffant as voluptuous as her body, this French siren was one of the few overseas actresses to be just as well-loved in America as in her native Europe. Today we still lover her beauty, her style, and her photographic legacy.

The Fairy Face Palette by PixiGlow

Beauty | 22 May 2012

For the young or young at heart, the Fairy Face Palette by PixiGlow is as useful as it is playful. Besides channeling your inner Tinkerbell, the set includes a variety of eye shadows, blush, and lip color “. . . inspired by budding roses, berry nectars and dew at dawn.” Sounds good to me!
 
The eye shadows are definitely my favorite, offering a touch of rosy shimmer that completely avoids the puffy, red-eye look some pink shadows can give you. There are also enough shades to create the ever-popular smoky eye look, and the set includes a mirror large enough to see your entire face. Five shades of lip cream are smooth and glossy, adding a touch of color to brighten the lip, and the overall fold-out case is so whimsical I’m rather charmed by it all. This palette would be a great take-along for any girl who likes a sweet minimal look, and is totally gift-worthy.
