Lipstick Powder N Paint

Are you gloss or a lipstick kinda gal? Most of you are probably gloss gals and why not – summer is for fun, sheer colour on those lips.

What would you say if we told you that there is a new lipstick on the market that is super hydrating and feels silky smooth and weightless on your lips? Pop Beauty’s Lip Lust is a dewy, sheer lipstick that adds a wonderful POP of colour to your mouth. Apply one layer to spice up your natural lip hue or double up for a popping effect. Each ‘stick is packed full of nourishing vitamin E and A and a touch of hyaluronic acid to have those lips looking fuller and feeling softer.

Available in four flirty colours: Naughty Red, Dewy Toffee, Flirty Fuschia and Petal Pink.

We love anything that makes room in our already crowded handbags. So we were delighted to learn that CoverGirl is introducing Wetslicks AmazeMint – part super shiny gloss, part refreshing Crest peppermint oil. Now we don’t need to tote around both gloss and mints for after dinner touch-ups.

The cool tingle, minty scent and slight sparkle are going to make this one of your makeup must-haves for the summer.

WetSlicks Amazemint is available in 13 different shades – one for every mood. The colour is quite sheer, so for a bolder look apply this gorgeous gloss over your favourite ‘stick or lip liner.

The boys will be lining up to kiss you!

While we’re aware that cellulite is nearly impossible to banish, we welcome any beauty product that claims to improve its appearance.

Following the wildly successful fatgirlslim cellulite-reducing cream, Bliss is launching fatgirlsleep, a nighttime potion chock-full of most potent ingredients, ready to work on those not-so-cute dimples on your derriere.

Loaded with the brand’s signature slenderiZZZe complex, this thick and rich cream claims to smooth lumpy skin for up to six hours and prevent the onset of future orange-peel breakouts. It capitalizes on your skin’s nighttime restorative and repairing process.

It’s also prepped to tighten and tone, while the sacred lotus extract is ready to target bloating caused by water retention.

And while your cheeks and thighs are getting the once-over, you’ll be fast asleep, thanks to the cream’s soothing lavender scent.

Oh, summer. How much we love thee, but how overwhelmed we are by your incessant heat and having to make makeup choices that feel seasonal but not excessive and melt inducing.

Leave it to the minimalist master Calvin Klein to keep our beauty routine simple and streamlined. The CK Shimmer Palette works as a bronzer, highlighter, blush and eye shadow in one. Swirl the pearly shades together or layer individually to turn up the heat and make your skin glow.

Try patting the colour of your choice over a clear lipgloss to stretch out the possibilities of this palette. Or just toss it into your makeup bag and bust it out mid-lunch for a “touch-up” to feel all, you know, chic.
