LORAC: 3-D Lip Gloss in Brilliant A Levres

Hello Divas!


I hope you are having a fab week!  I am enjoying being home and relaxed!

While at Blogher, I ran into the fab people at Hautelook.  Hautelook sponsored a lounge for beauty and fashion bloggers during last year's fashion week and it was a great place to learn about new products, blog between shows and relax.  And if you don't know Hautelook is a sample sale shopping site that offers between 50%-75% off designer brands.

Hautelook was featuring their site and also giving full size samples of LORAC's Multiplex 3-D lip gloss.  See I have been eyeing this lip gloss since DE of Beautylogicblog featured it on her site.  I had actually went into Sephora trying to find the perfect shade and none of them looked good on my skin tone.  Well the Hautelook representative gave me the Brilliant A Levres color.  She stated she thought it would look good on me and boy was she right!  It is a sparkly bronze and just like that.... Bingo!  I found my perfect match.  Apparently LORAC just launched this shade and I am so glad they did.  The colors stays all day and it glides on very smooth.  It is medium sticky, but the shine is insane! Plus the 3-D effect is pretty awesome.  It ranges from bronze to peach!

This color looks gorgeous on my skintone!  Check it out!

The only complaint I have about have about the gloss is that it smells like Amoxicillin, the antibiotic.  Not cool.  I know the smell because I have two small kids and the doctor always prescribes it to clear infections. LOL!

LORAC 3-D gloss comes in a range of colors to basically compliment any skin tone and it retails for $22. You can find it at Sephora.

Toodles!

Disclaimer:  Product was complimentary via Hautelook.  However my opinion is my own.

Hot Item! LORAC Co-Star Lip Color and Gloss in French Kiss

Hello Divas!

Long time no see!  I have been busy busy busy. 

As you Divas recall, I won some beauty products at the Sephora Pampering Event.  One of the products I won was a tube of Lorac Co-Stars lip color and lip gloss.  This product includes a long wearing lip color on one end and a shiny lip gloss on the other.  Here is a pic.

I must admit that I love the color French Kiss.  It is a pinkish mauve color and it works very well on my skin tone.

On skin:

The lip color is smooth and creamy and it glides on like a dream.  This color is a perfect compliment to a natural look or with a more dramatic look while keeping the lips toned down.  The product claims that the lip color lasts for 8 hours.  Well I did not find that to be true.  The color lasts for about 4 hours without any smudges or fading in color.  After 4 hours it is a distant thing of the past.

You can wear the color alone or underneath the lip gloss.  The lip gloss does produce high glossy shine and it slightly dilutes the color for a more pale version of the original color.  I absolutely love the gloss.  It has high shine, but is not sticky.  This gloss is a winner!

Overall I love this product.  I like that you get a beautiful lip color and gloss in one.  I can wear it with or without lip gloss depending on my mood or where I am going.  And the price is not bad either.  You get two products for $20.  In the luxury cosmetics business, that is a steal.

You can purchase LORAC Co-Stars lip color and lip gloss in a range of gorgeous colors here or at any Sephora.  I am actually going to grab a couple of these to add to my beauty arsenal.  They are so worth it!

Toodles!

Sephora Beauty Event Recap! LORAC, NARS, and More

Hello Divas!

How is life? I hope wonderful! It is so beautiful in Atlanta! I am so thankful for great weather!

This past Saturday I ventured to Sephora for their Beauty Pampering Event.  It was so much fun.  There was a live DJ and major beauty brands were set up to showcase their latest and greatest!  Fab MUAs were giving complimentary makeovers and there was also skin consultations.

I must admit I have never used any LORAC products but after Saturday, I am converted! Fabulous.  This skin illuminizer is INSANE on brown girls. Trust me on this one.  It is a sheer peach bronze liquid with beautiful shimmer.  The MUA applied it underneath the eye and on the tops of cheeks and the brown girls were looking like beach bronze queens. Loved it! This product is perfect for Summer.

I was also impressed with NARS Taos blush.  Now I have tons of NARS blush, but I have never tried Taos. Gorgeous on brown skin!

I also won a prize! Whoohoo!  I won a LORAC Co-stars lip color with high shine gloss in French Kiss, Make Up Forever Aqua Smoky Lash Mascara, and a  Temptu ReTouch Powder.  This  powder comes with an all in one brush and you simply press a button and the powder is majically dispensed through the brush onto your face.  I love all in ones!

It was a fab event and I can't wait to share my reviews of the products!

Toodles!
