Kevyn Aucoin's The Expert Lip Tint ($23.00) is a bit of a misleading product name, considering it's an opaque, lightly frosted/full sheen lipstick. These lipsticks wear extremely well (four hours or longer), and they're not at all drying. They're...
Too Faced Natural Eye Neutral Eye Shadow Collection ($34.00) is a new eyeshadow palette from Too Faced's Naturally Naughty Collection for the fall season.
The palette contains nine different shades of eyeshadow crafted by Too Faced's Creative...
Clarins Super Restorative Wake-Up Lotion ($40.00 for 4.2 oz.) is indeed a toner. I must admit that I had to read the product's tip sheet before realizing it was a toner and not a moisturizer. (Hey, I associate the term "lotion"...
Darphin Cleansing Foam Gel with Water Lily ($38.00 for 4.2 oz.) is a soft, gentle gel-based cleanser with an incredibly light floral scent. It looks nearly colorless when squeezed out of the tube and applied to face. It's easy to use--just dampen face with a bit of water,...

shu uemura's Primitribe Collection is a good mix of neutrals and color. I absolutely adored the Painting Liner, which was creamy, incredibly pigmented, and easy to work with. The Primal Color Sticks were interesting, but without testing them at-home, I can't tell you if they actually last at all. ...
Urban Decay Eyeshadow ($16.00) recently had two new additions added to the line-up: Minx, described as a blue-green shift with glitter; and Ecstasy, described as a bright purple with slight pink tint.
