Senna Totally Transforming Eyeshadow Primer has taken the market by storm. The multi-tasking primer neutralizes eyelid tone, provides a smooth canvas for color, and keeps shadow vibrant all day. The added benefit of hydrolized hybiscus extract keeps eyes looking young by warding off fine lines. We tried it under shadow during the 12 hours days we’ve been keeping at Fashion Week, and it seriously gives a certain purple-bottled potion a run for it’s money.

We’d be lying if we said we weren’t initially drawn towards Dior’s Crème de Rose Lip Balm’s chic exterior. We realize that may sound superficial…but look at it! To our delight, packed neatly inside a lovely vintage-inspired container is a just-as-impressive rose-scented balm with essential oils, shea butter and SPF 10 (gotta protect that pout!). The rose scent isn’t overbearing and it works incredibly well on chapped lips. It’s thick but not too sticky, the perfect combo.

This is a handbag must have, especially during fashion week. $25, Sephora

Everyone loves a multi-tasking beauty product, especially as we start to age. Who has time for millions of products, or an hour-long bedtime routine? A serum here, line filler there, it’s enough to make your head spin.

Enter Stila’s new Yumberry Crush Lip & Cheek Stain.

Yumberry Crush is a sheer, mid-tone pink hue that boosts your pout with a hint of natural color, while at the same time boasts the anti-aging benefits of yumberry. 

You’re probably wondering…Yum-WHAT? Yumberry is an antioxidant superfruit from China, said to be FIFTY times stronger than vitamin E, and twenty times stronger than vitamin C. Research also shows that Yumberry may help slow the break down of collagen, therefore slowing premature aging.The gorgeous pearlized pink shade comes in Stila’s trademark travel-friendly lip pen, and can be worn as a sheer cheek color or a “just bit my lips” stain

A lit-from-within glow is always beautiful and we can’t help but notice our favorite stars looking this way at every red carpet event. So, it’s only natural we would desire that same glow. While the original NARS Orgasm powder blush isn’t really the perfect shade for all skin tones (in our opinion), the new Orgasm Illuminator is definitely more versatile. This sheer, weightless fluid can be worn alone or mixed with your foundation to give skin a gorgeous, radiant glow— no special red carpet event required. $29, sephora.com

Let’s face it, makeup palettes are the best invention since sliced bread. This LORAC Color Me Couture Eye Shadow Palette caught our eye on one of our many weekly visits to Sephora.

Not only did we not hesitate to buy this, but we suggest you add this to your beauty arsenal as well.
