Fab Cosmetic Brush Set---6-Pieces For Less Than $6!

Sometimes, ladies, the BASICS will do, especially if you're not too experienced using them.

I'm talking about cosmetic brushes. We ALL need at least a set to blend this and that.
.
You don't need to invest in a $200 angled eye shadow brush, for example. The cheap brands' brushes can perform effectively when well-made.

We suggest this cute kit by Eco-Tools. It's $5.78 at my Bed, Bath & Beyond. And it's a decent 6-piece starter beauty collection.

You can order the kit online here if you can't get to your local store.

No, it's NOT fancy, but the tools work fine.

You're getting:

• Angled Eyeliner Brush
• Blush Brush
• Concealer Brush
• Lip/Liner brush
• Lash & Brow Groomer
• Clutch
• Soft bristles with recycled aluminum ferrules, and sleek bamboo handles.

Okay, so the enclosed cosmetic bag is a bit cheap-looking  + cheap-feeling. That's okay----store them in your OWN bag.

EOS Launches The Nearly Naked 'Crystal' Wax-Free Lip Balm

When it comes to lip balm, these typically offer a wax base as a protective barrier.

But popular EOS brand is debuting a brand new lip balm that is modern, slippery + see-through. And yes, it still comes in its adorable little pod, except this time, the pod is more oval than round.

EOS Crystal is a lip balm that provides weightless hydration in a wax-free formula. And for $5, this is a great beauty buy.

EOS is rolling out 2 flavors---Peach Hibiscus + Vanilla Orchid. The brand has been teasing the new launch at their Instagram.

The see-through lip balm is infused with 5 natural oils----sunflower, coconut, aloe, castor and avocado. There is NO SPF in Crystal, but EOS fans can still find the protection with their Active collection.

Check out stores like Walgreens, ULTA, CVS and Walmart to find them.

Nearly naked lip balm---How COOL is that?

MyChelle Dermaceuticals Introduces Overnight Antioxidant Trio To Repair Skin For Fall

Boosting the antioxidant supply is essential for EVERY complexion to maintain its radiance, smooth texture + youthfulness.

Vitamin C + retinol-based skin care formulas that are prepared in the right way can dramatically repair your complexion when you begin adding them to your nighttime beauty routine.

Mychelle Dermaceuticals is the on the leading edge of modern skin care and a respected pioneer in the field of advanced bioactive formulas. The brand goes where other skin care companies do not, like blending "anti-aging peptides, plant stem cells, and clinically proven dermatological ingredients" for effective rejuvenation for all skin types.

Summertime is a blast, but with all the sun, fun + possibly bad habits we like to indulge in, our complexions can show the damage and skin issues that arise.

Skin cells do their repair work while you sleep, so when the proper products are applied, your complexion is more receptive to active ingredients and can absorb these elements more easily than at daytime.

That's why MyChelle Dermaceuticals is getting lots of Wows! for their Overnight Antioxidant Trio.

That's ALL you need, ladies + gents, 3 powerful formulas to maintain a gorgeous complexion in time for fall:

Perfect "C" Cleansing Oil.

Don't be afraid to wash with an oil. This one creates a creamy lather and goes deep to clean and balance the complexion. The oil is rich with L-ascorbic acid (C), baobab oil and tamanu oil. There is NOTHING else quite like this cleansing oil (and I have super-oily skin).

Perfect "C" Eye Cream.

Another LUXE formula from MyChelle. It goes on smoothly and really adds nourishment to the thin + fragile skin around the eyes. Full of L-ascorbic acid, plant stem cells + hyaluronic acid. It's lovely under your foundation for a firmer eye area.

Remarkable Retinal™ Night Cream.

This is a superbly-rich formula that contains MyChelle's special Retinal™ (A) ingredient, ChroNOline peptide + monk's pepper for a beautiful blend of anti-aging results against fine lines + wrinkles. This night cream is amazing for dry, thirsty complexions. It's a bit rich my my shiny face, but if you're seeking supreme hydration choose this.

Camouflage print clothing has had military origins since around World War 1, and it's not succumbing to extinction anytime soon!

Sexy stars like Halle Berry, Kim Kardashian and Heidi Klum are all wrapped up in the green print, from street fashion to the red carpet

Halle Berry recently dared in a cute camo mini for the the premiere of 'Kidnap' at ArcLight Hollywood in Hollywood.

SEXY. She paired the camo with a cream-colored top and strappy heels.

Heidi Klum was out and about looking cool and casual in a camo maxi, perfect for those sweltering summer temps in NYC. She wore aviators to complete the look.

Fashion-forward Kim Kardashian also took a glam spin on the sizzling camo trend by wearing camo cut-offs with a curve-hugging black tank and signature ankle strap heels.

Cheap + Effective U.K. Lipstick Sealer---Under $5!!

There are tons of lipsticks, glosses and stains available these days. Some last BETTER than others.

How about lipstick sealers?

Would you ever consider buying one, or do you just figure these beauty products DON'T last + severely dry out your lips?

Sometimes, it's true, the sealers BURN going on and then turn your lips to  a desert and a thirsty mess.

The British have a FAVORITE lipstick sealer that's been around for years and supposedly performs like it should.

It's called Lipcote Lipstick Sealer and sells for the ROCK-BOTTOM price of $4.95, that's right----in U.S. dollars. Plus FREE shipping!

I haven't received mine yet, but I ordered it from here.

Hey, LESS than $5 and FREE shipping across the pond?

I'd be a fool NOT to try it.

Good Kenra Volume Spray 25 Dupe Found At Sally's For Less

Kenra Volume Spray 25 is a FAB hairspray that TV anchors won't do without.

I learned about the product on YouTube where I follow Dominque Sachse, at KPRC 2, Houston's home for news.

Dominique shares tons of beauty + fashion advice.

She LOVES Kenra hairspray  to keep her beautiful mane-- a cute bob,  full of movement and style.

You can find a 10 oz. aerosol can of Kenra 25 here at beauty stores like ULTA for $18.

Read the ULTA reviews--this stuff rocks!

Now, I haven't tried Kenra Volume Spray 25 YET, but I found an amazing dupe from Sally's Beauty Supply for ONLY $9.19. Since I was already in Sally's, I bought it fast. Check it out here.

The DUPE is called GVP Volumizing Spray and also comes in a sleek silver aerosol can. It SMELLS pretty, nothing harsh or over-bearing.

This a very good VOLUMIZING hairspray. I will try the Kenra 25 next time.

The DUPE has the SAME ingredients as Kenra and supposedly smells just like Kenra.

So you decide.

I NEED a strong spray that adds BODY and stays that way.
