A very close match indeed!  A Makeup Mix Shop customer commented that the new Jesse’s Girl Baked Shadow in Night Vision, is a very close match to MAC’s new Cinderfella.  While I haven’t tried the new MAC Style Black Collection, I can say the Jesse’s Girl Shadows are excellent quality for the $3.99 price tag.  Night Vision is beautifully-pigmented and the color is bold when applied wet or dry.  All 6 shades can be found at select Rite Aid stores or The Makeup Mix Shop.

1. Cherry Blossom
2. Skywalker
3. Golden Meadow
4. Moonbeam
5. Terra Bronze
6. Night Vision

The ELF Studio Line just keeps expanding and the value for the price is unbeatable!  The Studio Makeup Remover Cleansing Cloths work so well, it’s hard for me to believe they’re only $3!  They remove ALL traces of eye makeup with ease and leave skin feeling soft and refreshed.  The cloths have a slight cucumber scent and the chic, black package has both a seal and a snap-top lid (love!) which keeps these beauties from drying out.  For a limited time, ELF Studio Line is 50% off!  Just use code EGSTUDIOX at checkout on the ELF website.

I’ll be 112 before I ever come close to running out of lip balm (and nail polish too, for that matter), but somehow, new lip products make me weak in the knees and I have to have them.  EOS Products recently introduced their Smooth Sphere Organic Lip Balm and its 100% natural ingredients will keep lips moisturized and luscious all year-round.   I will admit, I get a few stares when I apply this balm in public, thanks to its innovative, circular packaging.  But the packaging is one of the main features which drew me to this product.  I love it’s “rubbery” feel and the round shape makes it easy to spot amidst the plethora of beauty products in my purse.  The balm itself glides on smoothly and makes a wonderful lip-prep before applying lipstick.  Smooth Sphere Organic Lip Balm is available in Honeysuckle Honeydew, Summer Fruit and Sweet Mint. 

Smooth Sphere Organic Lip Balm retails for $4 or less at most locations.

Great Lash Mascara has been a staple in many a makeup bag for over 30 years.  For me, the infamous pink and green packaging brings back memories of my teen years and like many, Great Lash was my first mascara.  Maybelline New York has made a BIG change to the original Great Lash and the new Great Lash Big takes lashes to a whole new level.  The larger brush creates fuller lashes and the buildable formula never clumps or flakes. 

Maybelline recently took to the New York streets to search for the next star of their new Great Lash Big commercial!

Maybelline New York is giving one Makeup Masala reader the chance to win a gift pack worth $75!  This gift pack includes the new Great Lash Big Mascara, a Maybelline compact mirror and much more!  Just leave any comment telling us the first Maybelline product you ever tried.  Winner will be chosen Monday, October 12th at 10:00pm CST.  This giveaway is open to all U.S. residents.

As October arrived here in Chicago, it brought along chilly weather for the ride.  Although this is my favorite time of year, my skin suffers tremendously thanks to cold winds and indoor heating.  Dove’s new Nutrium Moisture Body Wash has made its debut in my shower and it couldn’t have come at a better time!  This new body wash adds the same moisturizers naturally found in skin and natural humectants seal moisture in throughout the day.  For the first time, I’ve found a cleanser which moisturizes so well, there is no need for me to apply a lotion afterwards.  Now that’s a true beauty-breakthrough!  Nutrium Moisture Body Wash is available in three formulas: Deep Moisture, Sensitive Skin and Exfoliating (my favorite).  Dry, winter-skin is usually aggravated and accelerated by hot showers, so remember to help Nutrium Body Wash work more effectively by keeping the water temperature on the coolest setting possible.  For more dry skin care tips click here!  Your skin will thank you this winter.
