The spring 2012 collection by Sonia Kashuk, available only at Target, features some great new colors, new formulas, cool brush handles, amazing makeup bags, and more! Some of the newer offerings include the Satin Luxe Lip Color with SPF 16 Sunscreen, Perfecting Transparent Mattifier and Illuminating Bronzer.
I immediately fell in love with the quartet of polishes dubbed A Powerful Punch Four-Piece Mini Nail Set ($9.99) that I received courtesy of the brand, and brought with me on my trip to New Orleans. Here, I’m wearing one of the shades, Making Waves, a terrific hue of opaque turquoise that really upped the fashion ante for the rest of my look.
Some makeup bag favorites from the new line include the Sonia Kashuk Tile Soft Cosmetic Case ($5.99, pictured) and the Sonia Kashuk Tribal Double Zip Clutch ($12.99). Stay tuned as these beauty products with tremendous quality at a great value hit Target stores as well as become available online at Target.com.
