Nyx celebrates its 10th Anniversary

This fall Nyx Professional Makeup will celebrate their 10th Anniversary. In honor of this momentous occasion, the "affordable" luxury brand will introduce some brand-new, high-pigment formulations to their collection including:

 •Twelve 10-color palettes that feature some of the brands best-loved shades, as well as new colors for fall and 4 eye palettes crafted to enhance individual eye colors. $11.99 each

•Ten 5-color eye shadow palettes with shades ranging from every day wear to bright, vibrant hues. $9.99 each

•A portable compact Body Bronzer with silky-smooth pigments and a light, tropical scent. $11.99

My personal favorite line addition is the too-cute-for-words Cupcake Gloss Collection. With four individually packaged glosses that come together in a set, each gives lips a dose of barely-there, flavored shimmer. The formula is super-soothing, too, and totally makes my lips look more plump and smoother with just the right amount of color and shine. $7.99

All products will be available beginning July 2009 at nyxcosmetics.com

Double Duty: All-In-One Lip & Teeth Treatments

Two dual purpose beauty tools are becoming makeup bag essentials thanks to their multi-purpose beautifying qualities. Pout & Polish ($22, rxbright.com) is a two-in-one beauty tool that combines the genius of celebrity cosmetic dentist Dr. Jennifer Jablow’s proprietary intelliWHiTE STAiN ERASER on one end (to deliver fresh breath & improve oral health), and a minty, clear gloss on the other end (infused with green tea, cranberry extract, CoQ10, vitamin E, collagen and hyaluronic acid) that makes lips look pillow-soft, shiny and polished. Chic-Flic TOGO Whitening Pen with Lip Shine Plumper ($39.95, whiterimage.com) is elegantly packaged and adorned with crystals and LED lights for easy application. And holding true to the theme at hand, one end offers Triple-Action mint flavored gel that ensures the whitest, brightest results with up to 70 applications, while the other dispenses a blue base lip plumper  to maximize the volume of your lips without unnecessary burning or irritation. Plus, the blue hue makes your teeth appear even whiter!
