La Matte Color Drenched Lipstick ($22) is a brand new matte formula that claims to be "the most comfortable matte lipstick you'll ever wear". The high pigment formula applies creamy and non-drying with no bleeding or feathering. I have my eye on the peachy nude shade called "Sorry Not Sorry"...love the name and the color is gorgeous.
The Peanut Butter and Jelly Eye Shadow Collection ($36) is the newest member of Too Faced's Chocolate Bar family but with a creamy peanut butter twist. This palette features 9 shimmer and matte shades formulated with antioxidant-rich cocoa powder. It actually looks better here in the Ulta.com photos than it did in some of the sneak peeks I've seen over the past few months, with more variation in the shades than I thought there was.
Will you be indulging in either of these new products?

Kylie Jenner Lip Kit Live Blog: All the Updates on Her New Colors
It seems like every other week Kylie Jenner is restocking her coveted lip kits or introducing a new color. Which is why we decided to start this blog. We'll be updating it whenever big Lip Kit news is breaking the Internet. Stay tuned!
Update: February 28, 2016: Fans who subscribe to Kylie Jenner's app just woke up to some great news: Tomorrow is the day! In a post titled "New Lip Kit Color Announcement," Jenner revealed that her new red-orange shade—which finally has a name, "22"—will be up for grabs on KylieCosmetics.com starting at 6 P.M. (ET) / 3 P.M. (PT) Monday afternoon. She'll also be restocking a few other popular colors, but it's anyone's guess as to which those could be at this time. If we had to put a wager on it, we'd bet on Mary Jo K (considering even other celebs like Olivia Munn and Christina Aguilera are into the cherry red shade) and Dolce K (the OG light brown) which has been one of her most popular so far. It's pretty much flattering on everyone.
Here's hoping this batch lasts longer than half an hour...
PS: Just in case you don't want to be glued to your computer on Monday, might we suggest this more subtle way to wear brown? The same goes for red-orange too.
Update: February 25, 2016: It's official: The next color to join the Kylie Lip Kit krew is...a yet-to-be-named red-orange shade (and it definitely looks like the same color below). Earlier this evening, Jordyn Woods, a Wilhelmina model and one of Jenner's close friends, took over Jenner's Snapchat to give fans a first look. There's still no word on when the color will be dropping other than "very soon"—a time frame we are continually being told, which means fans likely won't have any idea until the night before—but Jenner did drop one other exciting bomb on Twitter tonight. In response to a fan asking whether more dark shades are on the way, Jenner said this: "Have an amazing dark one I've been holding." Is it so much to ask to have that one now, too, please? Surely that big factory of hers can pump out two more kits at once. The anticipation is killing us! As always, we'll report back when we know more.
Update: February 23, 2016: We're back! And we're bringing more Kylie Lip Kit news at you. It never takes too long does it? The latest buzz on the Kylie Cosmetics Instagram: New lip kit colors are dropping in less than a week. As we know from earlier this month, "less than a week" could literally mean tomorrow, so plan to keep your eyes peeled and your credit cards at the ready if you still haven't had the chance to get in on her liquid lipsticks yet. She hasn't officially revealed the new shade yet, but based on some heavy teasing, it looks like it'll be this red-orange color. Read up on our advice for wearing bright shades like this, here.
Update: February 5, 2016: Well, this is unsurprising. Kylie Jenner dropped her new lip kit colors today, as well as more packages of her original shades, and everything sold out in under 30 minutes (an improvement, considering the first shipment was gone in less than a minute). It also appears that Jenner has plans to expand her cosmetics empire, as she changed the named of her lip kit Instagram to "Kylie Cosmetics." We're dizzy just trying to keep up.
Update February 4, 2016: Over the past few weeks Kylie Jenner has been teasing the release of her new lip kit colors hard. First: the black-and-white shot. Then the contest to name her fuchsia hue. Next a casual Snapchat video of a bright red color. Well, today on her Instagram, she finally revealed the remaining shade to join the rest of her Lip Kit.
It is, drumroll please...Koko, a rosy pink. See it below (pictured second from the left in the top photo and second from the right in the bottom), along with Mary Jo (that bright red), Posie (the fuchsia pink), and her original trio: True Brown, Candy, and Dolce
There's still no word yet on when exactly the new kits will launch—or, the bigger issue, how many of them will be available—but as with any hard-hitting ongoing news investigation, we'll be sure to report back when new details emerge. Considering she keeps pegging it to Valentine's Day, we're guessing you can safely set an iCal reminder for February 14.
January 7, 2016: Good news if you didn't get your hands on the Kylie Jenner Lip Kits when they re-stocked (and sold out in seconds) a few weeks ago. We were frustrated too. But there's a new chance to order one, with a twist: More Lip Kits are coming. And in new colors. And possibly sooner than you think.
On Kylie's Snapchat today, she teased us all by swatching some of the new colors (but filtered the snap in black and white—sneaky) so we don't know exactly how many or what color the shades there will be. But according to the official Lip Kit by Kylie Instagram account, "we will be restocking in the three original colors as well as the new ones. ... And yes we've ordered a lot more for you guys. Thank you for being so amazing and patient. #comingsoon #waitonit." We'll definitely be keeping an eye out for more information on the news as it comes.

Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Foundation Will Make Your Skin Problems Dissapear
Once upon a time in the Summer of 2014, I went to a press event for the launch of a new British brand called Charlotte Tilbury. To be honest - aside from some Instagram buzz - I wasn't extremely familiar with Charlotte and her brand. That one was on me, because had I known, I would have gotten my hands on these makeup and skin care products (which are the equivalent of beauty crack) much sooner (everything launched in the UK first).
So back to our tale of true love: I arrived early to the chic event. Tables were covered in Charlotte's rose-gold-packaged goodies - bronzers, lash curlers, metallic eye shadow quads, creamy lipsticks, and smudge-proof eyeliners. It was nirvana. The vibe was boho goddess meets Hollywood glam.
I jumped into a makeup artist's chair, and as she began applying the products on me, I knew I was falling. My eyes transformed into a smoky gold ombré, skin was sculpted with bronzer, and lips were enhanced with a fashion-forward nude. Then, Charlotte Skyped in with the group to talk us through the line. The savvy, charming girl boss had recently given birth or she would've come to the event in person. She explained the genius tricks she uses on her celebrity clients (Kate Moss, Amal Clooney, and more) and how they inspired many of her colors. Since then, she's added more to her offering, including contouring sticks, matte lipsticks, and an under-eye cream.
Though I have countless can't-live-without favorites (Filmstar Bronze and Glow Palette, Liquid Eyeliner Pencil, and Pillow Talk Lip Liner), her original Light Wonder Foundation is my main squeeze. When it comes to foundation, I'm really, really picky. My theory on skin is: take amazing care of it by eating a green diet, getting consistent facials, and using natural, potent products. If you do these things, you won't need cosmetic surgeries (such as filler and Botox) or rely heavily on foundation for coverage. Skin should glow on its own, and makeup can just enhance what you have.
So, Light Wonder and I were an instant match made in heaven. Its sheer, luminous finish meets all of my requirements by giving me a dewy, smooth base that still allows my complexion to peek through. While I have no plans to break up with Light Wonder, Charlotte's latest baby - Magic Foundation ($44) - has been luring me away . . . especially during these colder months.
Light Wonder is my go-to during early Fall, Spring, and Summer since my skin tends to be in better shape during that time. I often have a natural glow from weekend getaways and exposure to vitamin D. But during the Winter, I often get red patches and sallowness. Every pimple and pore seems to stand out against my pale skin tone. This all caused me to cheat on Light Wonder with some of the heavier foundations out there. But none were quite right.
I got my hands on Magic Foundation about a month before it launched in February and have been using it almost every day since. It is truly the cousin of Light Wonder in that it is not too heavy, but it definitely provides a more matte finish. The formula is meant to offer more antiaging benefits by smoothing fine lines and reducing spots. It conceals acne, rosacea, melasma, and general redness. There is a blend of antioxidants that includes mushroom extract (for tightness), "genius" hyaluronic filling spheres (to plump wrinkles), and supercharged vitamin C (to help build new, youthful skin cells) that works together to make your epidermis look better while you're wearing makeup. Plus, there are 15 shades and SPF 15 that meet an array of needs.
When you first pump the formula into your hand, it seems glossy. But once you warm it up between your fingers or blend it out with a sponge (I like the Beautyblender), it envelopes your mug like a soft layer of neutral velvet. I've also found I need less concealer under my eyes thanks to the brightening effects. My favorite way to use it is cocktailed with Wonderglow, a shimmery primer that gives my face an extra luminous boost. The results have made me addicted, and I find my makeup lasts longer thanks to this base.
Currently, Magic Foundation and I are living happily every after.

This Makeup Artist Transformed Herself Into Disney Princesses With Her Hijab
Malaysian makeup artist Saraswati has given herself the royal treatment—by becoming a Disney Princess.
And we're talking more than one: The ultra-talented beauty maverick has recreated some of the most iconic Disney Princess looks to date, including Ariel from The Little Mermaid, an almost eerily on-point Mulan, Pocahontas, and Aladdin's Princess Jasmine. Even better, she's working her personal hijab collection into her character transformations. A bright red hijab becomes Ariel's lush red locks; a woven pale yellow fabric magically makes for Queen Elsa's regal side-braid.
She creates more than just Disney characters, by the way—one scroll down her Instagram feed will take you into more fandoms than you ever thought possible. For this reason, Saraswati has a massive following online, with 180,000 Instagram fans waiting to see her latest metamorphosis.
And in the non-princess realm, she's even transformed herself into Disney's Tinkerbell and Alice too!

Here's The One Thing About Modeling That Kendall Jenner Can Do Without
If the number of runway shows Kendall Jenner appears in each season is any indication, we'd feel confidant in surmising that the star really loves being a supermodel.
But the 20-year-old beauty took to her website this week to reveal the one thing about her profession that she, well, wouldn't mind doing without. Apparently, Kendall doesn't like getting her brows "messed with."
"It always freaks me out, because every time they do it, I lose them," she wrote. "They literally fall OUT! It's bad—I really hate getting a bleach."
The star is probably speaking from recent experience: The wild, goth-inspired makeup at Marc Jacobs' fall-winter 2016 presentation featured ultra-light bleached eyebrows. (The only thing scarier for Kendall than the bleach treatment at Marc Jacobs? Those towering black boots.)
Seems that Kendall has a polar opposite opinion than Lady Gaga: The singer recently revealed that she bleaches her eyebrows on the daily.

If You're Obsessed With Braids, You Need to Follow These Instagram Feeds
True story: when I first learned to french braid, I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I was so obsessed, I wanted to run around and braid the hair of all my friends (and of all my dolls), and sit for hours in front of the mirror doing my own. I was around eight, and because I was the only person I knew that could french braid, I felt superspecial.
Despite my plaiting skills, I've discovered that 16 years later, I am not the braiding genius that I thought I would be. Thankfully, there are others whose styling careers have flourished a bit more than my own - and they're sharing their work via Instagram.
From box and fishtail plaits to cornrows and woven waterfalls, the types of braids these stylists have mastered are infinite. While we're a bit envious, we're not complaining, just as long as they continue to let us ogle their creations from our iPhone screen. Get your double-tapping thumbs ready and read on.

Olivia Munn Shares 4 Secrets to Antiaging That Don't Include Botox
As y'all know, I'm a big believer that most women in their 20s and 30s don't need cosmetic surgeries, such as Botox. So I was thrilled when Olivia Munn, who is four years my senior at 34, shared the Instagram and message below. In it, the gorgeous actress reveals her theories and own findings when it comes to discovering natural antiaging methods.
She writes: "Ask anyone who knows me and they'll tell you I love research. Convinced that there's got to be natural, healthy ways (ie not only the rich and connected can do it) to keep your skin from aging, I do lots of research."
Then she shares four methods that kept her own face looking fresh: losing weight, reshaping her brows, using Proactiv Mark Correcting Pads to reduce her sun spots, and eating Japanese potatoes (that, according to Olivia, "are high in hyaluronic acid [to] help keep wrinkles away").
Keep reading to learn more about her secrets of youth, and hopefully it will inspire your own healthy habits!
