Although the weather has been going through an extreme identity crisis, we can safely confirm that it’s officially fall. Why do we love this time of year? Not only do we get to indulge in the eagerly awaited collections, but we have the best excuse to go crazy shopping and revamp our vanities with LBS approved products! Ladies, you only deserve the best, so the best we shall give.
Counting down our Top 10 latest faves:
10. Last week Thursday October 3rd, RiRi MAC HEART Fall 2013 hit MAC stores. RiRi’s “Talk That Talk” has made our list. Perfect for the sultry dark fall lip. Have we ever steered you wrong?! Take our word for it, this is worth adding to your lipstick collection.
9. After School Boy Blazer, as if Essie polish names couldn’t get any more creative. Fall 2013, “it’s back to cool when you’re back in blue-black. This academy blue lacquer is the prep-school chic must of the season.”
8. If you haven’t heard of Black Girl Beauty, you are doing yourself a grave injustice *inserts sad emoji*. Black Girl Beauty is a monthly beauty box subscription dedicated to women of color. We had the pleasure of attending their beauty brunch a while back, and it was love at first sight. GET YOUR LIFE IN ORDER! This blush (Blushing Bride) by Tarte is everything! A little goes a long way, perfectly flushed cheeks with a little hint of shimmer will definitely make you a happy camper.
7. Are you one of those girls (like myself) who must carry a nail file everywhere, because of course it’s a life and death necessity? Well, we got you on this one. The M.A.S.H Crystal Glass Nail File is so far our most favorite recently discovered nail tool. It leaves your edges smooth and knick free. This will definitely be put to good use for our Style Play Polish tutorials.
6. Taking care of your hair is a year round duty. The Agadir Intense Creme Treatment is certainly a must have, taming split ends and leaving your hair feeling smooth and healthy is its specialty. Argan Oil lover? This product is perfect for you.
5. Perfectly shaped and filled in brows don’t just magically appear, but Damone Robert’s Brow Shadows are pretty darn close to it. After all, he is the eye brow king! Finding your shade and an angled brush will do the trick. I live by Miss Moss Brow Shadow, it is the truth! Another one of Black Girl Beauty’s boxed goodies.
4. Sometimes when a big deal is made over a product, it’s well deserved. Cover FX’s CC Cream has gotten our vote. This product provides build-able coverage, so you can add as much or as little as you need to. Why are we infatuated? It’s hard out here for a pimp us colored girls to find the perfect shade of any foundation related product. Not only is it a color corrector, it also has anti-aging benefits. I think I’ve just died and gone to heaven!
3. It’s BIG! That’s what she said! We found this baby in IPSY’s October glam bag. Thank you IPSY, and Thank you Elizabeth Mott!
2. We’re almost willing to bet a million bucks that you’re tired of jabbing your eyes when attempting to draw that perfect cat eye. Lefty or Righty, Sephora’s Smart Liner allows you better control of your desired liner look and is also water and smudge proof. Doesn’t get any better than this! Maybe it will, but we sure will find it lol.
1. We are hoping and wishing and praying that you know who Michelle Phan is! Michelle Phan is one of the biggest, most followed, most successful YouTube beauty gurus. She is Co-Founder of IPSY, Founder of YT network FAWN Inc, Creator of Ever Eden, and recently launched her make-up line EM Cosmetics. She has trademarked this beauty product from her line as the “two minute nose job”. The Chiaroscuro stick is a 2 in 1 contour and highlighting stick that will transform the shape of your nose within minutes. We love the art concept, the portability, the simplicity of the product and application process.
