Jouer Hydrating Lipstick in Dusty

Jouer Cosmetics, Dusty Lipstick Swatch

I wrote about the Jouer Mad About Fall collection quite some time ago.  Just wanted to circle back with this image of Jouer’s Dusty lipstick. Isn’t it a beauty?  I’m a big fan of the trend for nude lip shades to be a bit darker, and Dusty is a new favorite among those nutmeg-y neutrals.

The shade is still available online, so do check it out.

Retail price is $22.

Shop at JouerCosmetics.com.

tarte Puttin’ On The Glitz

Generally, women wear more makeup than usual when attending a black tie affair.  Strangely, we also carry a much smaller bag!  Evening bags are gorgeous, but hopelessly useless.  I can’t tell you how many nights I’ve only had a lipstick in my bag, for midnight touch-ups.

For those of you who absolutely, positively, want to carry more makeup with you to any event, Tarte has launched a stellar new collection that finally solves the evening bag dilemma!  Makeup mavens, allow me to introduce you to Puttin’ On The Glitz!  [Read more...]
