Matte Lips: Armani, Lancome and Smashbox
I have recently posted about some new lip products: glossy ones and classy lipsticks but it seems like those uber popular matte (often liquid) lipsticks are not going anywhere. And here are the brand new releases.

SS17 Eye Shadows Palettes: Stila, Tarte, Viseart, LORAC, Kat Von D, Smashbox
Back in the days I was buying eye shadow palettes like there is no tomorrow but in the last several years I have stopped, and now I prefer quads, or even duos.

AW15 Eye Brow Products: Clinique, Smashbox, ArtDeco and Tom Ford
As I have already mentioned on Twitter, it is easier to say what brand is not bringing out eye brow products for AW. You can browse the “Launches” section to see for yourself. And here are a few that I haven’t mentioned before…
As you can see from the photo above, now you don’t need a Pro eye brow brand to get a specific product, these days a lot of beauty brands have a huge selection: from stencils and powders to pencils and gels.
Smashbox Brow Gloss Stick
It gives eye brows a natural sheen, there is a spoolie on the other end.
