Purple Lab, a newer, yet already cult favorite beauty brand that thrives on double-duty, multi-tasking products, introduces two new shades to their ground-breaking Huge Lips Skinny Hips collection, which provides luscious, lip-plumping color infused with Hoodia, a natural appetite suppressant. Taking inspiration from all that surrounds her, Purple Lab Creatrix Karen Robinovitz designed Goji Berry Smoothie (berry-plum) and Limo to Lobby (the perfect pink) to give women of all skin tones even more color options. Robinovitz explains, "Changing your gloss color throughout the day has the same revitalizing effect as re-accessorizing your outfit."

My main issue with web videos that demonstrate makeup looks is that proper brush technique is rarely discussed, which I find to be the most important part of eyeshadow application! Check out this great vid from MakeupGeekTV via YouTube:

For Fall 2009, Stila will launch an additional Smudge Pots shade, and also introduce an entirely new line addition--Lip Enamel Luxe Gloss.
Originally designed to be a dual use product, Stila's Smudge Pots gel formulations were typically used as eye liners and shadows. Now, Stila has taken one of their best-selling pressed powder eyeshadow shades, Kitten (one of my all time favorite must-haves), and transformed its legendary shimmering champagne hue into the proprietary Smudge Pot gel form. Smudge proof, water-resistant and ultra-long wearing, the super-flattering shimmer can be used as an eyeshadow primer, base color, eyeliner or even a cheek and brow bone highlighter. Genius! $20
With full coverage, long wear, intense luster and saturated color, Lip Enamel Luxe Gloss are welcome additions to the Stila brand. The super-shiny formula, available in 6 shades, is also infused with rhodolea rosea, a miracle herb that's known to alleviate depression by optimizing seratonin and dopamine levels in the brain. Plus, a perfect blend of oils and phenolic compounds keep lips conditioned and moisturized. $22 each
All will be available for purchase beginning September 2009 at www.stilacosmetics.com

The Smoky Eye Shadow Collection makes creating one of makeup’s hardest application techniques simple as sugar with an all-in-one kit that contains three shadow sets of three colors each for a day, night and “fashion” look. Plus, step-by-step application cards provide detailed instructions and easy-to-follow diagrams while two double-ended applicators make this a truly complete kit. The shadows are rich in pigment and their textures are smooth, allowing for effortless blending that’s essential for a smoky look. $32
Metal-Eyed Liquid Eyeliner is long-lasting, non-smudging and creates to look of melted metal in 8 glam shades like Blackout (smoldering black), Dirt Bag (red brown), Brown Sugar (golden brown), Get Lucky (sparkling emerald), Shotgun (gunmetal, Handcuffs (metallic steel) Plum Crazy (vivid amethyst—and my favorite—Twilight (sparkling sapphire). The texture of this liner is soft and silky, despite it super-sparkly effect and the precision micro-brush allows easy application. The sleek, almost watery formula also dries quickly and doesn’t flake—very necessary qualities when dealing with a tricky product like liquid liner. $17.50 each

If I had to pick just one product from these new line additions, my choice would be the Primed & Poreless Skin Soothing Face Primer. I am a total skin primer enthusiast, which I attribute mainly to the sweltering South Florida climate. When it’s almost always 100% humidity, a primer is more than needed to keep my makeup from melting away. This one also erases pores, softens lines and perfects skin without the harsh, drying side effects of most other primer products. The single shade is a neutral, translucent beige that becomes invisible upon application. Bronzers, blushes and foundations glide on without sticking to the primed areas, and even when used alone without any other makeup, the finish is velvety and smooth. Ingredients like Mulberry Extract (skin brightener), Rentinol (anti-aging), Ivy Extract (a natural astringent) and Vitamin A (antioxidant) are added, multi-beneficial benefits that make this product a total must-have. $30 All Too Faced Products are available for purchase online at toofaced.com & sephora.com.
My Too Faced Fall 2009 Haul:
Lip of Luxury in "Free Love", Smoky Eye Shadow Collection, Metal-Eyed Liquid Eyeliner in "Twilight" & Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer

Beloved jewelry brand Judith Ripka has joined forces with Essie to launch the must-have beauty accessory of the season: Essie Loves Diamonds by Judith Ripka. The extremely limited edition collection (only 30,000 bottles produced) will be available beginning August 2009 and features three brilliant shades infused with genuine diamond dust. In all three --“Put A Ripka Ring on It” (soft, blush pink), “Queen of Hearts” (vivid red), and “Heart of my JR Jewels” (dark, glam-gothic hue with hints of brown and plum) -- the diamond dust infusion provides a sophisticated sparkle that is far from girly glitters. Like the typical Judith Ripka consumer, this is a collection meant to be appreciated by those who enjoy life’s finer things, and aren’t afraid to flaunt them. In addition, special promotions like discounts on Judith Ripka jewelry will be available at both the Essie and Judith Ripka websites, and three lucky buyers will have the chance of finding one of three precious gemstones (a diamond, an emerald and a sapphire -- all approximately one carat in weight) within one bottle of each nail polish color! I haven't found any stones in my bottles, but I am going to keep looking! I also plan on getting my toes done up in "Queen of Hearts" later this week, and I can't wait! $15 each, essie.com

Kiehl's introduces four new products designed to purify the skin, minimize the look of pores, and help keep skin matte, even in the hottest, most humid climates. The collection is a spin-off of the Rare Earth Facial Cleansing Mask, which has been a brand favorite since the early 1970's. The line expansion will also feature a unique ingredient, fair trade Amazonian White Clay, "which is sourced from Marajo Island in South America, and is gathered at the mouth of the Amazon River at the beginning of the dry season, after months of being nourished by the leaves, fruits and seeds swept down the river from the rainforest."
The complete skin care system includes:
RARE EARTH DEEP PORE DAILY CLEANSER, $22.50
"This daily cleanser is formulated specifically for normal to oily skin types to purify and thoroughly cleanse facial skin. Our non-stripping, mildly foaming formula contains Amazonian White Clay and finely crushed Diatomaceous Earth particles to gently remove surface debris, toxins, and oils which can enlarge the appearance of pores."
RARE EARTH PORE REFINING TONIC, $20.50
"This dual-phase pore minimizing toner is formulated with ingredients sourced from the Marajo Island at the mouth of the Amazon River to help eliminate surface toxins from the skin. The absorbent powders of the Amazonian White Clay help to refine pores and control excess oil as it maintains the skin’s PH level. After application, skin appears matte, with re-balanced moisture levels."
RARE EARTH PORE MINIMIZING LOTION, $28
"This pore minimizing lotion is formulated specifically for normal to oil skin types to address the appearance of enlarged pores. Our oil free minimizing treatment contains Amazonian White Clay to help absorb excess sebum and refine the look of pores."
RARE EARTH DEEP PORE CLEANSING MASQUE, $22.50
"This deep-pore cleansing masque may be used for normal to oily skin types to help eliminate debris and dead surface skin-cell accumulation that can clog pores and leave skin dull-looking."
