Fashion Pulse Flash: New from NARS, Cetaphil, Jane Iredale, more

If you are one to shy away from gloss and love the matte lip look, Shien Cosmetics is where you will find your happy lip place! The brand’s debut collection, dubbed “Viper’s Dream,” is a line of highly pigmented shades, including ingredients common to Chinese and Japanese herbology such as white camellia oil, green tea extract, and red algae extract. After testing the lipsticks (see me, here, in Viper’s Dream), I found that they provided the matte texture achieved by filling in with a lip pencil, coupled with the convenience and rapidity I prefer in a lipstick form. The silk matte collection features eight shades at $18 each, which will certainly be a welcome addition to your statement lip color assortment.

Continuing along with my new love of matte beauty products, the NARS Matte Multiple has the most opulent and fabulously buildable, long-lasting, and of course, hydrating color for lips and cheeks. I’ve been using the rose coral shade of Laos non-stop, however there are six other gorgeous shades to choose from — Anguilla (ginger pink), Exumas (pink apricot), Siam (poppy red), Altai (rose bronze), Vientiane (copper bronze), and Cappadoce (golden bronze). The creamy, incredibly light, and easily portable multiple highlighter retails for $39 each, available at NARS boutiques and online at narscosmetics.com

Everything that you’ve loved about Cetaphil and desired in a cleansing cloth has made its way into one stellar product- the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths packet! Keep them in the bathroom cabinet, in your travel, or gym bags, and be prepared to have high expectations matched by its ultra gentle yet efficient formula, incredibly soft fabrication, and generous size.

With 25 cloths per pack and retailing for an average of $5.99-$6.99, you’ll receive a quick, water free cleanse every time from these extra moist cloths, working hard to remove dirt and make-up, but safe enough to use around your eyes, being fragrance free, non-comedogenic, dermatologist developed and tested, ophthalmologist  tested, PH balanced and last but not least, hypoallergenic! You can start to use them now, available at retailers including grocery, drug and discount stores nationwide and online at Drugstore.com and Amazon.com.

Inspired by that time of day when the light is just perfect, right around sunset, the jane iredale magic hour collection includes six new lovely products for cheeks, eyes and lips. Just launching this week, expect two new shades in the long-wearing Lip Fixation lip stain + gloss in one product in Compulsion (mauve) and Craze (sheer melon), the Jelly Jar Gel Eyeliner in black or brown (my favorite), the Angle Eyeliner Brush, PurePressed Eye Shadow Triple in Golden Girl (a great neutral palette), and the In Touch Highlighter in Comfort, another favorite of mine, which has tremendous versatility in its application as face highlighter, lid primer, or as a dash of color for the lips. Check out this video on how to use some of these items to get a “romantic” makeup look!

Prices range from $15.50-$30, and as always, pick up your favorite products from the brand at shop.janeiredale.com and select skin care specialists and beauty apothecaries worldwide.

You know about BB Cream for your face, but what about for your body? The Jergens BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream takes the elements of the BB (beauty balm) trends, and tucks it all into a 7.5 ounce bottle for your body, available in two skin tone options (light and medium deep) for $12.99. I was so intrigued by this new product that I had to immediately try it out, and courtesy of the brand, I gave it a solid five-day trial on my petite bod.

From my experience, what I can say you can expect is an adjustment in tone over time, a result that smooths, evens, firms, hydrates, and brightens the skin. It’s not tacky and relatively fast-drying so you can quickly go about your daily business without having to awkwardly stand in the buff, waiting for it to absorb. Don’t expect it to be a cosmetic fix to all of your skin woes, however it will get you closer to a “mannequin leg” effect, which in my opinion, is not too shabby at all! Pick a bottle up at mass grocery and drugstores nationwide, and online at Drugstore.com.
