Word on the Sphere: August 31
This week we found makeup and pedicure products for fabulous femmes:
Splendora raves about Lipstick Queen by Poppy King as a cult line and a celeb standby. Her newest product, Oxymoron, is just that. The gloss pot contains a creamy formula that goes on smooth but looks totally matte on the lips. It gives you that flushed, romantic, Jane Austen appeal. Come hither Mr. Darcy.
SheFinds touts Hard Candy’s Take Out Makeup Kit, which is chock full of useful goodies—six lip glosses, eight eye shadows, black liner, a tiny tube of mascara, peachy blush and bronzer, and two shades of concealer. This little kit packs a big wallop. It’s about the size of a deck of cards, so it’s not too unwieldy to fit in a night-out handbag, and the color palette is pretty everyone-friendly. This can save the day when a little touch up is in order, or when you need to go from day to night and don’t have the luxury of 15 minutes in front of the makeup mirror.
The Budget Fashionista advises us about Dr. Scholl’s, as the go-to-guy for all things foot, Pumice Foot Scrub and Foot Softening Balm. The pumice scrub boasts the benefit of a pumice stone in lotion form, to exfoliate and moisturize. The softening balm rehydrates dry callused skin. The pumice brings a blast of inspiring peppermint, while the balm contains lavender for a soothing finish. It could inspire your olfactory senses while making your tootsies touchable.
The Makeup Girl Blog gives us the secret of LORAC’s Beauty Insider Palette. What I love about LORAC’s colors is that they hold SO much pigment! LORAC gives you the hottest looks for fall in one cute, sleek little red snake skin case. You get five shadows, two blushes, a dual-ended brush and a red lip polish. Red lips are all the rage for fall and this is the BEST way to wear them without looking overpowered…a nice soft gloss will give you the color that you want without all of the stodginess of traditional red lipstick.
