One of my favourite plum lipsticks (MAC Craving) finished a while ago (sob!) and so there was a wee plum coloured gap in my lipstick collection. Rather than buying the same shade again, I really wanted to try out a similar shade from another brand. There is something really fun about trying out a similar shade from another brand, particularly one that I haven’t tried before. Enter Smashbox ‘Be Legendary Lipstick’ in ‘My Digits’!
Here is some new make-up news for this week:
Too Faced co-founder Jerrod Blandino has released sneak peek photos on Instagram of some new upcoming products in their Chocolate Bar and Natural ranges. Palettes include White Chocolate Chip (click here to see the outside packaging and here to see inside), Chocolate Chip (click here to see the outside packaging and here to see inside) and the Natural Love palette (click here to see a sneak peek of the packaging).
Maybelline has some exciting new products launching from January 2017. Products include Collossal Big Shot Mascara, Masterstrobe (a new illuminating liquid highligher) and 10 nude lipsticks in the Creamy Matte range. Click here to see some sneak peek photos on the Maybelline Instagram page.
MAC has released new iridescent highlighters as part of their ‘In The Spotlight Collection’ for Holiday 2016. There are six shades of Strobing Cream (liquid formulation) and four shades of Extra Dimension Skinfinish (powder formulation) to choose from. If you like highlighters which are glowy and bright, then you might like this collection. You can see more here on the MAC USA pages and here on the MAC UK pages. I purchased one of the Extra Dimension Skinfinishes in the shade ‘Beaming Blush and have a ‘sneak peek’ photo in my Instagram feed on my site (click here to see the photo on Instagram).
Makeup Geek will be releasing new lipsticks and lipglosses as part of their make-up range. Products include the slimline Iconic Lipsticks (click here to see a sneak peek), along with Plush Matte and Creme liquid lip colours (click here for a sneak peek).

Here is some new make-up news for this week:
Allure Magazine has reported that MAC will be coming out with a new eyeshadow formulation: MAC Spellbinder Eyeshadows. These eyeshadows are touted as being intensely pigmented and providing super-rich payoff on the lids. I can’t wait to check out the eight jewelled toned shades when they launch online and in-store (sometime between October – December 2016). You can read more here.
If you are a fan of the Anastasia Glow Kits, you might be excited to hear that the brand is releasing an Ultimate Glow Kit for the holiday season. The Ultimate Glow Kit will contain six gold-toned highlighters, ranging from snowy white to sparkly amber. I have the Gleam Glow Kit and love it, so I am looking forward to seeing the new Ultimate Glow Kit when it launches. You can read more and see photos at Temptalia here.
Too Faced has just posted a sneak peek of the upcoming Sweet Peach Glow Palette. You can see the sneak peek photo on Two Faced Jerrod Blandino’s Instagram page here.
This seems to be the season for colourful eyeshadow palettes. Kat Von D has just released the Metal Matte Eyeshadow Palette which contains 22 eyeshadows: 9 metal crush eyeshadows in all new shades and 13 rainbow mattes, ranging from light to dark tones. Looks amazing! You can see the palette on the Kat von D webpage here. Urban Decay will also be releasing the ‘Full Spectrum Eyeshadow Palette’ for Holiday 2016. The palette will contain 18 colourful shades ranging from white, bold and deep bright colours. You can see a sneak peek photo on the Urban Decay Instagram pages here.
Nude colours more your thing? If so, you might like the new Bare Minerals Gen Nude Collection. The Gen Nude Collection has 60 lip shades across 4 different finishes, including lipsticks, glosses, liquid lip colours and lip liners. The range promises to provide nudes in a range of colour tones, such as beige, pink, peach and mauve. Worth a look if you love nudes! You can read more on the Bare Minerals website here. If you also like the idea of trying out the lipsticks but aren’t sure where to start, Bare Minerals is releasing an 8-piece collection of mini-sized Gen Nude lipsticks. You can read more about the 8-piece collection here.

Maybelline recently released the Color Drama Intense Lip Paints in the UK (aka Color Jolt Intense Lip Paints in the USA) and they have quickly become a favourite of mine. The lip paints are smooth, pigmented and feel so light on the lips. I think they are a good dupe for the Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipsticks – just as pigmented but at a fraction of the price.
