Try Dior Dolly Pink Addict Gloss When You’re in the Mood for Bling

Dior Dolly Pink Addict Gloss
You know what I like? I like how whenever the pretty boy/Arthur Fonzerelli character in cartoons flashes a big toothy smile, there’s that “bling!” sound.
Bling!
Dior’s sparkling, shiny sheer pink Dolly Pink Addict Gloss ($29.50) goes well with that sound.
It’s available now at Dior counters, Sephora stores and also online.

Super cuteness launched this month at Maybelline. These $3.99 Color Show Nail Polishes are new for summer.
The three on the left are Color Show Polka Dots — available in five shades, each with black and white glitter in hexagonal shapes of different sizes that sort of look like dotted nails, and all have a sheer base that dries to a matte finish.
The one of the far right is the one doing its own thing… That’s Color Show Holographics Nail Polish in Alluring Rose, one of four new holo shades designed to change colors in the light.
They’re all available now online and at drugstores and Ulta.

MAC Unsung Heroes: Era Eye Shadow

It’s always the era of Era around here. Flexible, because it flatters both warm and cool skin tones, MAC Era Eye Shadow is a fantastic workhorse neutral to have in your collection, especially if you love taupe.
Officially, MAC describes it as a soft golden beige, and yeah, I can see that, but on my NC42 skin, I’d characterize it as a golden taupe. Color temperature-wise, it’s like a perfect porridge — just right. Neither too warm, nor too cool.
I don’t know…but there’s just something earthy and natural about it. I see it and picture smooth river rocks baking in the hot desert sun…
And the finish? Satin. One of my favorite finishes from MAC.
It shines a bit, but doesn’t shimmer, and stops well short of frosty. It’s like a subtle, super pretty soft-focus sheen that just makes skin glow, and it’s so, so wearable.
When it comes time to blend Era, it never protests. A few swipes from a 217, and the soft, buttery formula blends into other colors without a hitch.
It’s perfect for easy or complicated looks blended with other taupe shades when you want a bridge between darker and lighter colors.
For softly defined eyes, I’ll dust MAC Ricepaper all over my lids, then rock Era in the crease with a MAC 217 before smudging black or brown liner along my lash lines, or pulling out the black cat eye liner…
Simple, classic and not overly flashy, it’s one of those eye looks that balances nicely with bold lips.
Era might be a good fit for you if…
  • You take delight in taupes
  • Like products you can wear with warm and cool shades
  • Lean toward understated eye makeup looks
  • You’re looking for a flattering new crease color with a satiny glow (marvelous on mature skin!)
  • You like easy-to-blend eye shadows
  • You want something you can wear daily to work
  • Era lives in MAC’s permanent collection ($15 for a regular pan; $12 for the Pro Pan refill pictured above), and it’s available now on MAC counters, in stores and online.

    Like Real Pixie Dust, Zoya’s Glittery PixieDust Polish Collection Is Pretty Magical

    Some textured nail polishes make me feel a little queasy…
    Oh! — especially the flat matte ones that feel extra gritty (eww, my skin just crawled).
    But even if textured lumps and bumps aren’t your cup o’ tea, I think the six polishes in Zoya’s new PixieDust fall collection are worth a look/feel.
    Why?
    Because they glisten with gallons and gallons of glitter and cray-cray pigment!
    Yeah, and not just cray pigment, but cray². In fact, four of the six — orange Dhara, magenta Arabella, green Chita and blue sunshine — only need a single coat.
    The other two — Golden beige Tomoko and purple Carter (my fave!) — are two-coaters, but that doesn’t make me like them any less. Both still coat my nails completely, covering them in opaque color and buckets of glitter.
    The intense jewel tones in the release remind me so much of fall that I almost feel like putting away my flamingo shorts.

    Maybelline Drops of Jade Color Show Polka Dots Nail Polish

    I keep wanting to call this nail polish “Drops of Jupiter,” like the song by Train.
    Remember that one? For a while there in the early 2000s it was playing every other second on the radio, LOL!
    I still love it, too.
    I’m wearing two layers of Drops of Jade here, one of five new Polka Dots Nail Polishes from Maybelline, and I can really see the jade jelly base and the different sized flecks of hexagonal glitter.
    The sheer, thick formula dries to matte finish with a base of non-streaky color. I think it’s actually pretty easy to apply as far as glitter polishes go…
    Only thing is, if you like crisp edges, they’re kind of a challenge to achieve with the included brush. I usually do my edges freehand, but the fibers splay out, making the polish tough to control. You might need to dip a pointy brush into some nail polish remover and run it along the base of your nails to clean up the edges.
    Drops of Jade is available now online and at drugstores and Ulta.
