I’m normally not a big fan of Chapstick products, but for some reason I had to have these babies! Chapstick’s new True Shimmer balms add a light veil of shimmer, while keeping lips moisturized for hours.

True Shimmer is available in 2 highly-scented flavors. Botanical Berry is my favorite, while Tropical is a close runner-up. I’ve been wearing this balm alone and also as an added boost under lipstick. For you natural gals, this balm will also pair beautifully with your favorite lip liner!

Chapstick True Shimmer can be found for $2.50 or less at most retailers.

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed how many new mascaras have been introduced this year? Well, add another to the list! I just spotted Cover Girl’s new Exact Eyelights Mascara. I have no idea of the cost, since my friendly “Wal-de-Marte” (that’s the uppity name for Walmart) had just unpacked the display.

The mascaras are made for specific eye colors and promise to enhance with eye-opening shimmers. These are so new, they aren’t even on the Cover Girl website as of yet. My recent mascara haul prevented me from throwing these in the cart, but please let us know if you’ve tried them!

For all the Besame lovers in the house, there’s still time to stock up before your favorites are completely gone! Besame Cosmetics is changing their much-loved product line to a new formula which will be released soon.

Selected items are now available in sets of 4 (same color only), at an unbelievable discount. The famous Enchanting Lipsticks which were originally $18 each, are now 4/$20! Another favorite of mine are the sultry Lip Glazes, also now 4/$20. As an added bonus, all orders of $20 and over will receive a FREE full-size Lip Glaze!

This special close-out sale ends Oct 31st, 11:59pm.

Touch of Pink Cosmetics is a wonderland of new, discontinued and hard-to-find Mary Kay products. Items are brand-new, still in packaging, at a fraction of the original price.

Makeup Masala is giving away one of her favorite OPI Polishes to 2 lucky winners! All you need to do is tell me what lovely shade is shown above. Get to guessin’ ladies! 2 winners will be chosen Thursday, Oct 30th at 10:00pm CST. Readers from all countries are invited to participate!

If you haven’t checked out E.L.F. lately, you’ll be happy to know they’ve added a few new items to their website. My newest crush is on their new Waterproof Eyeliner Pen. This liquid liner comes in 5 shades and the sleek, slim packaging is easy to handle during application.
