Happy New Year!

I wanted to wish all of you a Happy New Year! I hope you all have a fun and safe NYE.

Let’s bring on 2009!

What’s a new year without a New Year’s Resolution…

Fabuless Beauty’s Beauty New Year’s Resolution: I will not purchase NEW beauty products until I use up my existing beauty products (An Anonymous poster gave this me this great tip - so I have to give her/him credit for that!). Not only will this save me money, but will reduce the clutter on my beauty shelf.

So what’s in store for 2009 here at Fabuless Beauty?

  • More product reviews
  • More giveaways
  • More ways to save money on beauty products!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Essie Nail Polish in Pama

Last month, I made a post on the FREE Essie Nail Polish in celebration of National Pomegranate Month.

I finally got it in the mail! And here it is! It’s a beautiful opaque dark burgundy red.

Unfortunately, this color was limited edition and will not be available in stores or online.

Did anyone else get their hands on this?

Sneak Peak: CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain

Next month, CoverGirl will be unveiling its newest lip collection - Outlast Lipstain. Lipstains have been a favorite on the fashion runways and will now be more accessible than ever. This innovative new formula provides a stay-put color that will last without the traditional feel of a lipstick!

Product Details:

  • Water-based colorants infuse instantly on the top layers of lips - that provides lightweight long-wearing lip color
  • Weightless lip color - no residue, stickiness or heaviness
  • Formula contains conditioners - glycerin and hyaluronic acid to soften and smooth lip. Unlike most lip stains, it does not contain alcohol - I give CoverGirl bonus points for that!

Approx. Price: $7.29

Where to Purchase?: Mass market retailers

Take a sneak peak of these new CoverGirl Outlast Lipstains

How to Apply:
1) Moisturize your lips with a moisturizing balm.
2) Apply the Lipstain
3) For added shine, apply a lip gloss or top coat on top

The Bottom Line: These lip stains are highly pigmented and stayed put all day! The packaging reminds of felt tip markers. When applied, it looks like I just ate a Popsicle. I admit that I’m not a fan of stains - it’s too matte for my taste. Matte lip colors tend to accentuate blemishes and skin imperfections. And trust me, I don’t have perfect skin. I personally prefer to wear a lip gloss on top of the stain - the lip gloss will seal in the bright, bold color.

FAB TIP: Be on the lookout early January 2009 for these NEW CoverGirl Lipstains!

High-End Holiday Gift Ideas: Prescriptives Colorscope Holiday Refillable Palette

Yes…we all want to save this holiday season, but unfortunately, not everyone is a fan of inexpensive beauty products.

So what do you get for the high-end makeup snob that won’t hurt your wallet? Easy… Prescriptives Colorscope Refillable Palette for Eyes and Cheeks.

Source: Prescriptives

These beautiful holiday palettes comes in Warm and Cool and includes: three special holiday Eye Colors, three Colorscope Eye Color favorites, one cheek color and one bronzer.

Approx. Price: $39.50, reduced from $52

Where to Purchase?: Department Stores, Prescriptives

Take a look at this Warm Palette…

Eye shadow swatches

Overall, this is a beautiful palette. Considering that the original price was $52 and has been reduced to $39.50 - this is a great price point for the high-end makeup snob. Individually, the single eye shadows run $14 a pop!

All the eye shadows are full-sized and highly pigmented. With the exception of the navy blue and black, all the eye shadows leave a shimmery satin finish. The navy blue and black eye shadows are more matte with glitter bits – these shadows are more appropriate for the evening. They’re so easy to blend – easier than MAC’s Holiday 2008 Smokey Eye Palette! However, the blush didn’t swatch too well, but when applied to my NC 35-40 skin, I was given a natural flush for everyday wear. Also, I love the packaging -the palette is enclosed in a zippered case, which makes it ideal for traveling during this winter holiday.

FAB TIP:Once this palette is used up, you can refill the palette with new Prescriptive eye shadows!
