Currently Obsessed: Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss for Spring 2016.

I think I have gone on and on about how much I love lipgloss. In fact, you can see all of my lipgloss posts here: Lipgloss Posts on Beautiful Makeup Search. To date, I have mentioned lipgloss over 200,000 times on the blog - that's a lot! The latest trend in lips is matte. So when a new, true glossy lipgloss arrives on the scene I get excited! I am very excited and quite obsessed with the newly relaunched Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss in its completely new reformulated and reimagined formula. It truly is the ultimate lip gloss offering a ton of shine, color and a whole lot more!

Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss features a new glossy formula that delivers high-watt shine in 18 new shades. What's equally exciting and makes this gloss different from the rest is that the formula is ultra-hydrating and plumping — it's really like no other gloss I've ever tried before. The secret to the formula is Dior's Hydra-Volume Complex with hyaluronic acid spheres that captures water into the lips for an instant plumping and deep moisturizing effect. This makes the lips look more plump while they feel moisturized. It does this while adding that super, high shine to the lips.

Dior didn't stop with the formula; there are three shine finishes to Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss. Inspired by Dior runway designs you will not only choose color, keep the finishes in mind: Sparkling, Watery, and Iridescent.

Sparkling - These are ultra-concentrated sparkly shades that adorn lips with saturated pearls to reflect light. They feel a bit gritty on the lips as they are filled with shimmer.

• Gems
• Spring Ball
• Princess
• Shock
• Fancy
• Diorosphere
• Ultradior
• Everdior

Watery - These are easy to wear glossy shades that are more, clean, see-through and saturated.

• Nude
• Tell Me Dior
• Cruise
• Paradise

Iridescent - These shades take on a new dimension as they are infused with contrasting or tone-on-tone pearls. These almost look different depending on the light you wear them in.

• Fantaisie
• Pearl
• Reflected
• Mirrored
• Diorama
• Cosmic

I love the glossy shine and beautiful shades in the Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss collection. The plumping effect is subtle in the Addict Ultra-Gloss, but it is definitely there and something that I notice and like over an average gloss. The hydration is felt and it lasts.

Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss sells for $30 each online at dior.com as well as your favorite department store makeup counters such as Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Dillard's.

IT Cosmetics™ IT’s Your Bye Bye Collection on QVC Today.

I've professed my love for IT Cosmetics™ and their products and their seemingly magical powers of complexion perfection for years now. So when they launch a bunch of new products as part of a QVC Today's Special Value, you know I am going to tell you about. Today is one of those days and it's a really good one. The IT Cosmetics™ IT’s Your Bye Bye Collection is a 5-piece collection and 4 of the products are brand new.

One of my very favorite makeup products hands down is the IT Cosmetics™ Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer. Everyone asks me why my undereye area always looks so smooth. I guess for my age, that's a compliment. I tell them it's because of this miracle concealer. Well, the star of this new collection is a new version of IT Cosmetics™ Bye Bye Under Eye and it's officially called Bye Bye Under Eye Illumination™ Full Coverage Anti-Aging Concealer. Phew! In a word this new concealer is HEAVENLY. It has promptly replaced my favorite (the original) because this new version now contains the brands signature Drops of Light Technology™. That means that this concealer not only blurs away every flaw, it also brightens the look of your skin with a soft luminosity that makes it look even better!  It's super long-wearing and lasts all day without creasing or cracking. If you are looking for a holy grail concealer, this one is it. Choose from Light, Medium, Tan or Deep. I use Medium which is quite light.

The rest of the IT Cosmetics™ IT’s Your Bye Bye Collection includes:

Bye Bye Pores Pressed™ Powder - This is the only product in the collection that is not new. It's a nice powder that helps optically blur the look of pores and fine lines with Bye Bye Pores Optical Blurring Technology.

Bye Bye Pores Blush™ Airbrush Brightening Blush
This sheer buildable, silk-infused blush gives you a naturally pretty flush of color that lasts.

Heavenly Skin™ Bye Bye Pores™ Powder Brush
This brush was custom-cut with a super plush, dome-shaped head to optically blur away the look of imperfections.

Bye Bye Makeup™ 3-in-1 Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm
This is not only a hydrating cleanser and makeup remover, this is an anti-aging and skin-softening serum that feels like pure luxury as it removes makeup and cleanses the skin. It is sort of addicting to use.

Buy the IT Cosmetics™ IT’s Your Bye Bye Collection for $59.96 today ONLY at QVC and QVC.com. It's item #A276846.

The Physicians Formula Super BB #InstaReady™ collection includes a multi-tasking all-in-1 BB Cream, a Filter Trio BB Powder, a Filter BB Bronzer, and two Contour Trio BB Sticks. All items in the #InstaReady™ collection are formulated with InstaFilter Technology. What's that?  InstaFilter Technology is a proprietary blend that instantly diffuses light to blur away imperfections and retexturize the skin. That means that skin looks smooth and flawless all while being protected against UVA/UVB damage as there is also broad spectrum SPF 30 in the formula — smart! The result is the ultimate professional photo finish.

This is a really lightweight formula that glides over the skin effortlessly! It instantly perfects the skin making it look really smooth. It's a multi-tasking BB cream that neutralizes and evens out the skin tone, minimizes shine and visibly reduces pores — love that. It blurs out and instantly hides imperfections as it smooths the appearance of fine lines while protecting the skin with SPF 30.

This powder is a three-in-one BB powder that features three skin-perfecting filter powders in one that instantly enhances the complexion in any light. The result? A beautiful soft-focused glow.
