rms Beauty Karma cream eyeshadow - dark brown/black cream eyeshadow with silver shimmer. I've been hoping for a darker cool shade of cream eyeshadow from rms Beauty, and this sounds perfect.
RGB cosmetics HIPP foundation colours. These were launched by RGB last year, but Mise Beauty has just gotten them in. I need F1. The Autumn/Winter 2011 shades have also just arrived, and Camp, a mossy zombie green, looks very good to me.
RGB is my favourite nail polish brand. They're actually 4 free - they don't contain camphor, as well as leaving out formaldehyde, toluene and DBP. You wouldn't know it by application (the opaques are fully opaque in two coats, and the sheers apply evenly) or longevity (I can wear for 5 days without any major chipping, and I'm not kind to my fingers although my nails are very short, which helps.) The bright and unusual colours in cream formulations are exactly to my taste too (there are a few shimmers in the range, but they are mostly creams.) At £11.50 they're not ridiculously expensive either. I love the RGB website with all the shades laid out to drool over.
Ilia Beauty are launching quite a few new products, following on from the successful launch of their tinted lip conditioners last year (I've been wearing the berry stain Arabian Knights very regularly.) They are bringing out full coverage lipsticks, a lip balm and lip exfoliator, lip & cheek cream colours and illuminators.
The bright red Wild Child lipstick calls to me (of course). I'm also very tempted by the hot pink Neon Angel.

Wow, many great things to come. I've got a question - does your Ilia lip tint taste a bit soapy? I got Bang Bang a few months ago (from misebeauty), and while I love the consistency and colour, I just can't cope with the weird taste.
ReplyDeleteHi Bastet - you've got me licking my lipstick :D I've never noticed any strange taste with the Ilia, and I can't bear the taste of perfumed lipsticks like YSL - I love the colour of the Rouge Pur Couture I own but find it hard to tolerate the taste. I can't tolerate lip products with chemical sunscreens in them either.
DeleteWith the two Ilia I own, I notice a light chocolate-orange scent, but no strong taste. They taste slightly lipsticky when I lick my lips, but much less so than Bobbi Brown lipsticks, for example. It might be worth sending an email with your batch number to Ilia to find out if there was a problem.
:D Thank you - great suggestion. That's exactly what I'll do. I really hope that I received a dud because, apart from the taste, it is a really fabulous lipstick, and I'd definitely buy more in this formula. BTW, you have a really great blog - I've been a subscriber for quite a while, but I've never commented before. I think I've "seen" you on MUA though. Guess it's time to say thank you. You got me interested in many great new brands (Kose Addiction to name just one).
DeleteI really hope they can help you, and thank you for the kind words about my blog. Yes, I'm on MUA, although I post less often nowadays - the boards move so fast!
DeleteLove your blog! I'm from the US and my daughter will be in London in April. We'd like to know what you think the best beauty stores or drugstores in London are. She knows about Superdrug, Boots and Tesco. I am a complete beauty addict and she wants to pick up some goodies for me that are not available in the States. I'd appreciate any advice, or even if you could do a blog post about it! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHi Nina - that's a great idea for a blog post. Are you more interested in drugstore, or high end as well? I can cover both.
DeleteActually, I am more interested in drugstore "stuff" because there seem to be a lot of drugstore products that bloggers love that are just not available in the US, even at places like New London Pharmacy in NYC. I may be wrong, but it seems that most of the high end brands available in the UK and Europe are available in the US, or can be ordered online like Rouge Bunny Rouge. However, I am open to suggestion! It probably sounds silly, but I want some Sudocreme and that rose tinted Vaseline that comes in a tin.
DeleteHi Nina - that's true, most high end stuff can be ordered quite easily. I'll write a post for you on the drugstore things!
DeleteI would love to add some RGB polish to my collection... but I'm just so stingy when it comes to shipping charges :)
ReplyDeleteI also hate paying postage - and it's a good way to justify adding stuff to a basket to get free shipping! :D
DeleteOoh, lots of things I like the sound of there. I'd not yet gotton round to buying any Ilia Beauty but you have made my wishlist increase a lot more now :) Do you know when their new products are meant to hit over here? x
ReplyDeleteHi Replica - it's March in the US, so I'd guess late March/early April here, fingers crossed. x
DeleteThank goodness for the Ilia news as I was about to set off the small violin weeping over the RGB ;). Wild Child looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you've put yourself on a nail polish ban as well as the eyeshadows. Will of Steel!
DeleteOr maybe just bumbling idiot! I might have to start parcelling up things I own and sending them to myself in order to make it through to July.
DeleteI want to try everything you featured in this post. Especially the lipstick!!!
