New in Beauty
- OMG, I DIE! The new Tokidoki makeup line ($5-42) is now on sale at Sephora, and it’s really frickin’ cute!
- The end times are nigh! Now there’s a Butt Lift in a Box ($99)
- I’m not sure how I feel about the cork packaging, but I do like the colors in Sonia Kashuk’s Spring Awakenings Eye/Lip Palette ($17)…
- Get Clean with this portable, three-piece Pencil Perfume Set ($30)
- Sephora says their Tricks of the Trade Perfecting Lash Primer ($14) increases the volume and length of lashes
while conditioning witih a pro-vitamin B5-enriched formula - I might tree-eet myself to Korres’ Quercetin & Oak Treatment ($50). They say it fights wrinkles and controls oil
- Could the name for Rexaline’s Hydra-Dose Hyper-Hydrating Skin Densifying Anti-Wrinkle Cream ($59) be any longer?
- Lighter, summery versions of fragrance faves are starting to pop up! I wanna sniff Ralph Lauren Summer Romance ($78), CK One Summer ($44) and Eternity Summer ($54)
- The products in the Ouidad Krly Kids line ($12-15) are — surprise! — made for kids with curly hair
- Sonia Kashuk’s Retractable Silver Face Brush ($15) comes with foundation and powder brush heads for gals on the go
- Ulta’s carrying a new makeup line called LA Splash
- L’Oreal says their Studio Secrets Professional Secret No. 1 Magic Perfecting Base ($13) minimizes the look of fine lines AND the appearance of pores
Good morning, ladies, and how are you doing today? I’m still waking up out here… feeling my way around the kitchen for a beverage with caffeine. I’ll reconnect as soon as I’m properly caffeinated. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

March 11th, 2010 at 7:15 ami LOVE LOVE LOVE Tokidoki … got some of the products when they did the Tokidoki x Smashbox collab and managed to get two purses from sample sales. I am liking the packaging on this Sephora line and I hope the products work too. Definitely getting the palettes and a makeup bag. I DIE!!!! 😀
I also like CLEAN. Managed to get their three rollerball set for $10 @ Sephora and im almost done with it … the pencil might be nice to try.
Doin’ okay — stoked that the weekend is in sight. Have a good one … Caffeinate!!! 🙂
Karen says
March 11th, 2010 at 9:00 amOh, I know! Isn’t it cute how they add little cartoons to the swatches too?
NINA says
March 11th, 2010 at 9:38 amUh huh superduper cuteness. I am in love … 😡
Tamara says
March 11th, 2010 at 7:50 amOMG – I too am DYING for Tokidoki! I know you’re not supposed to buy product for the packaging, but COME ON! LOOK AT IT!!
And yes, I am also seriously considering the Korres Querceting and Oak treatments. I went to the Korres flagship store in Soho (NY) last week and was chatting with one of the gals about this product, which sounds amazing. Per her, the company has done studies on the chemistry/components, something like that in oak trees (cause, you know, they last forever and they get stronger as the grow old), and somehow they’ve been able to mimic this in these products. Uh, does that make sense? Anyway, it sounds really interesting, I hope they work!

March 11th, 2010 at 7:59 amOh my goodness!!!!! tokidoki is SO cute — and I’m likin’ those prices, too! What do you have your eye on from the line, Karen?

Karen says

lexi says
March 11th, 2010 at 8:07 amTokidoki is cute but I don’t know it might be “TOO CUTE” if there is such a thing. I’ll have to check it out in person. I know my 14yr old cousin will swoon over it!
Karen says
March 11th, 2010 at 8:58 amI hear ya. I’m a big fan of the line though, so Imma have to pick up at least a few things!
Kelly says
March 11th, 2010 at 8:17 amAhhhhhh that Tokidoki stuff is KILLING ME. There is no way I am going to be able to resist it…

Karen says
March 11th, 2010 at 8:57 amNo kidding! I want the eyeshadow singles and the bronzer. 🙂
Frances says
March 11th, 2010 at 8:18 amTokidoki is a little too cutsey for me. I’m not really a fan of having cartoon characters/anime on my beauty products. Alice in Wonderland was a whole other story though. I am definitely checking out those CLEAN pencils. Provence is one of my favorite scents.
Karen says
March 11th, 2010 at 8:57 amDid you get the chance to see the movie yet?
Frances says
March 11th, 2010 at 10:08 amNot yet – I’m going to try for the IMAX theater either this weekend or next week, I did already buy the Paul & Joe Alice in Wonderland kit though. 🙂

Karen says
March 11th, 2010 at 8:57 amThey make a fun line of bags, accessories, clothing and toys!
The line has a Japanese vibe, but it’s actually from Italy:

Jean says
March 11th, 2010 at 9:28 amI’m totally squealing on the inside too about the Tokidoki line!!! If I didn’t have to be at work I’d be on my way to Sephora waiting for their doors to open to check everything out. I think I’ll be doing some online shopping this morning. I want everything!
Beth says
March 11th, 2010 at 9:43 amThe Tokidoki thing isn’t lighting any fires for me but Hello! Butt Lift In a Box. I SO need that! 🙂
Babybubblz says
March 11th, 2010 at 9:46 amAw so cute! Sephora collaborations have been impressive! I liked Kat von Dee as well.
Andreita says

knownever says
March 11th, 2010 at 10:40 amOMG! i’m so excited that Clean has come out with a solid perfume pencil. The Clinique ones sold out before I got a chance to see them so I’m glad this packaging concept is sticking around.

Catherine says

March 11th, 2010 at 11:16 amI read your title and just HAD to click to see what on earth a “Butt Lift in a Box” was?! LOL! What will they think of next?! Let me know when someone comes up with a cream that I can rub onto my belly and make it washboard flat!

March 11th, 2010 at 12:03 pmI adore the cork packaging– I bet it’s much more eco-friendly than all the plastic!
Glosslizard says
March 11th, 2010 at 12:21 pmOooooooooh! Look at the purple mascara!!! 😀
Sophia says
March 11th, 2010 at 1:02 pmRe: Tokidoki – I kind of want the lipgloss for the sole fact that it smells like blueberries! Although the spatula certainly helps, too. So cute!
I wonder about the eyeshadows, though. The skull-shaped ones are adorable, but seems inconvenient in terms of storage, as well as getting everything out of the container. As for the quads – how big do you think they have to be in order to fit a keychain? I guess it could be pretty tiny/flat/2d, though! Ahh, I want it all!
amy says
March 11th, 2010 at 1:52 pmI will be checking out the Tokidoki line if it is available at my Sephora. It is cute, though I am not a fan of Tokidoki in general. The Kabuki brush is cute because I have a soft spot for purple.

March 11th, 2010 at 2:42 pmI love this collection, The lipgloss is so nice and I love our overall blog.
Have a great day =)
mill says
March 11th, 2010 at 3:18 pmLA splash is great. they sell it here at SaSa and it really is nice! the coloured eyeliners and mascaras are the best i’ve found…. such a great colour range!
Jo says
March 11th, 2010 at 3:36 pmWhat an adorable set with an equally adorable name! I’m tempted….
I was also intruiged by the Butt Life in a Box, though I don’t think I could justify spending $99 for a minimally better bum.

March 11th, 2010 at 5:07 pmOMG, OMG – let me wipe the drool off my mouth!
Emily says
March 11th, 2010 at 6:38 pmYay, so, so excited about the Tokidoki makeup! The packaging is super cute, and I hope that the product quality is good as well. I will have to go to a Sephora soon to play with the testers! 😀

Cas says
March 11th, 2010 at 10:13 pmAww the tokidoki packging is uber cute! I bought their lipgloss once on ebay and found it SO hard to even use it coz of its cuteness. Too bad we don’t have that line here 🙁
