The invention of cream eye shadows has had a time-saving impact on my life. Not only are they easy to apply (you don't even need to use a brush), but depending on the color, they can also double as a highlighter. They're a cinch to travel with since they can't spill, and they typically dry to a nice, powdery finish.

Lip balms are one of my favorite products and I always get excited when a new one makes an appearance in the marketplace — especially if it's tinted, because it feels good and it looks good. I've tried each of these new Prescriptives and Lola Cosmetics tinted balms and they all satisfy my balmy cravings.
Korres Lip Butter ($9) is an all-natural hydrating tinted lip balm that contains a high concentration of shea butter to help soothe and heal chapped lips.

Last month I told you all about the new
Firming Sensation Tinted Eye Balms from the Lola Cosmetics Summer 2008 Explore the Lola in You collection, and now I've become privy to the final launch in the line, called Prime Effect Pure Pigment Infusion ($26). What makes this product unique is that it embodies characteristics of a foundation, a primer, and a moisturizer.
It's very sheer, smooth, it blends easily and provides decent coverage.

Due out in stores this Summer is the newest concealer launch from Lola Cosmetics called Firming Sensation Tinted Eye Balm ($22). What makes this concealer different from the rest is that it's designed to moisturize, brighten, cover dark circles and it even helps heal blemishes — all without the use of oils, fragrances, or parabens.
They call it a refining concealer because it contains
hyaluronic acid to keep skin moist throughout the day.

Yesterday afternoon, I tried the newest product launch from Lola Cosmetics called
Refine Shine Concealer ($22). What makes this concealer different from others is that it contains
hyaluronic acid and brightening properties to keep your skin looking and feeling hydrated, smooth and even a little bit dewy.
It has a medium-to-thin creamy consistency (so it's not going to cover as thoroughly as, say,
Time Balm concealer), but it will cover red spots and dark circles.
