There was a time before kids that I had a full blown obsession with makeup. Maybe it was working in the industry, maybe it was because I had no kids- I had nothing better to spend my money on, or maybe there was just something completely magical about swiping on a new shade of lipstick, something totally transforming and mood altering that I just had to have more. Makeup became my crack. My obsession became out of control and finally reached a point where I had dominated every single drawer space in our tiny bathroom (I mean really..are 96 lipsticks necessary!?!). Fast forward...the kids came, priorities changed and my obsession was quietly put to rest...until now. It seems I have awaken a sleepy giant within. This is not good!!! But none the less, here are 5 beauty products I cannot wait to get my hands on!
1. Oscar Blandi Pronto Invisible Volumizing Dry Shampoo Spray
I've not yet tried a dry shampoo but have been very curious to do so. My hair tends to be on the dry side, so my hair stylist suggested I do a good blowout twice a week tops to prevent damage. This one caught my eye for two reasons: 1) i like the ease of a spray and 2) unlike alot of others on the market, this is invisible! According to Sephora:
"When applied, it instantly boosts volume and cleanses the hair without water. Ingredients such as gentle starches absorb excess oil and product build up, while Vitamin E and wheat proteins strengthen and protect the hair shaft. The end result is hair that looks and feels freshly shampooed, without a trace of residue."
2. YSL Touche Eclat Radiant Touch
Ok, I have heard soo many great things about this product that I cannot wait till my concealer runs out to try! Loved by models, artists and women everywhere the award winning formula is supposed to be equivalent to 8hrs of the best sleep you can get. According to Sephora:
"A luminizing pen that brings radiance and light to the skin, immediately erasing any signs of fatigue and brightens the complexion. With a few strategically placed strokes, the complexion immediately looks rested, radiant and rejuvenated."
3. Urban Decay Ink For Eyes
I am not typically a big fan of the Urban Decay line BUT let me tell you this is a fantastic product! A friend of mine had in her makeup kit so I had a chance to use and I was in love. This is not your run of the mill creme liner. This is smooth and dark and the application is flawless...no dragging or skipping or smearing. The liner comes housed in a sleek little case complete with mirror and (love!) double ended brush (angled liner on one end and smudger on the other). I'm about out of my black eyelining pencil and I will be replacing it with this in Zero (black). I'm also thinking Demolition (chocolate brown) would be great for creating an earthy, smudgy eye, so I may need both!
4. DuWop Private Red
I'm always on the look out for the perfect shade of red lipstick for my skintone. I read about this one on a blog and I'm very intrigued. A little throw back to the 60's maybe, this lipstick is supposed to adapt with your body's chemistry providing the perfect shade of red for you. Hmmm...we'll have to see!
5. Les Tentations De Chanel Fuchsia Tweed Blush
All I can say is WOW!!!! When I first got a glimpse of this to die for blush I immediately called the Chanel counter to find out when it will be available and I've gotten mixed info. I was told today that it would not be available till November, however I've read some stores already have! Regardless, this blush is a work of art! If you know where I can buy now, please comment where!
What beauty products are you dying to get your hands on this Fall??
