Four New Beauty Launches

Have you been searching for something to liven up the same ol’ routine for the summer? Check out these recent makeup and skincare launches! They are a combination of new products and new brands!

• I was unfamiliar with the Wander Beauty brand until I spotted it on Sephora. They offer a streamlined variety of multi-tasking makeup designed for easy travel. The collection is not large but they do seem to offer nice universal colors, several of them dual-ended for maximum options.

• Eyes Lips Face (ELF) Cosmetics has expanded their Beautifully Bare makeup collection to include a makeup base, a concealer stick, a finishing powder, a face palette, a satin lipstick, and a matte liquid eyeshadow. I am a huge fan of the Beautifully Bare Lash Tint Mascara and the Beautifully Bare Blush, so I am looking forward to trying the concealer, the lipstick, and the eyeshadow. I doubt I will try the makeup base since it doesn’t include SPF.

• How can you not be curious about a brand called Drunk Elephant? This relatively new skin care line focuses on ‘less is more’. They apply this philosophy not only to the ingredients they use but to the regimen as a whole.  If you want to test out the line, their “The Littles™” set is the way to go. It contains 7 of their core essential products.

• I could not complete this list without mentioning the Sephora Sun Safety Kit for 2016. I purchase these sets every summer to stock up on my sun protection. This one includes 15 “handpicked” SPF and self-tanning goodies, everything from tinted lip balm to BB cream (and plenty of SPF options for the rest of your body).

So clean up, lighten up, and protect yourself. Summer is here!
