Is Avon’s Glazewear really a lipstick disguised as a gloss, or is it a gloss masquerading as a lipstick? Whatever the case may be, this product is one of my all-time favorites. I’m NEVER without this in my purse and I’ve used it for years without fail.

Avon’s Glazewear goes on like a gloss, but pigments like a lipstick. It keeps lips moisturized and stays on through anything! The colors can be applied as soft or as bold as you like, depending on how much you apply. I love mixing different colors in this line for my own unique look!

Avon’s Glazewear is currently on sale for $1.99! Makeup Masala is giving away my favorite Glazewear shade, Teddy Bear*, to 3 lucky winners (leave a comment to enter). Winners will be chosen Thursday, 8-21 at 10:00pm CST. Readers from all countries invited to participate!
*For some reason to view this shade and sale, you must be logged into an Avon account.

HIDDEN GEMS

Pantene Ice Shine Hairspray is a year-round must-have in my arsenal of hair products. This high-hold spray keeps hair in place, while imparting visible shine. Pantene is known best for its Pro-V formula, which infuses hair with vitamins to keep it health and shiny. This spray holds hair firmly in humid weather and won’t dry hair out with continued use.

Pantene Ice Shine Hairspray retails for $5 or less at most stores.

Loreal HiP Cream Shadow Paint in Lofty is the perfect neutral, pinky-brown for day-wear. With so many of us working in office or professional settings, sometimes it’s better to go low-key with makeup application.

This thick, creamy shadow glides on to lids and dries to an almost-matte finish. A stiff-bristled brush is included, but I found it easier to apply with fingers. The packaging is actually re-usable as a tray, which you squeeze the shadow on for easier use. Once this shadow is on, it’s on! All-day wear in humid weather, provided long-lasting results. Many will find this cream shadow to be an excellent base under powder or mineral shadows.

All Loreal Cosmetics , including the HiP line, are buy one, get one free at Walgreens through 8-16.

The She Space has a released a new collection just for summer. The theme here is Cinderella Dumped Her Fella, and let me tell you, some of the shadow names are hilarious! One Broken Stiletto (an iridescent midnight blue), Misplaced Sanity (an icy steel blue), and Suspicious Step-Mom ( a blue/plum mix), are just a few of the unique names for this collection.

Each of the colors in this limited-edition collection are multi-layered for dazzling effects. If you scroll down to the bottom of the ordering page, Heather (the company’s owner) has listed great color combinations to help bring out the makeup artist in you!

Sample baggies of the above collection can be purchased for 50 cents each or $18 for all colors. The 3 gram sizes are $4 each or $129 for all 38 colors.

I love any product made with olive oil. Its natural antioxidants stop free radicals from causing skin damage, while fatty acids help to keep skin moisturized and supple. St. Ive’s Olive Cleanser is an excellent choice for your daily cleansing regimen. Ideal even for oily skin, it deep cleanses while leaving skin’s natural moisture intact.

St. Ive’s Olive Cleanser has a light, refreshing fragrance that is sure to uplift you on those groggy mornings! This is a low-sudsing cleanser, which I recommend, since high-sudsing cleansers strip skin unnecessarily. Sunflower extract is another bonus to this cleanser because it helps to keep oil levels in balance.

St. Ive’s Olive Cleanser is on sale at Walgreens for $4.99 through 8-16.
