NEW! Beauty Products for Valentine's Day

Hey you and happy weekend to us! I thought it would be fun to share some new beauty products that make me think of Valentine's Day. They're super cute and I hope you enjoy them, too! And I've got swatches of everything!

Covergirl Colorlicious Lipsticks--These come in a wide assortment of shades, meaning there's something for everyone. These are just a few of the 36 colors available!

The colors are pretty much the same as in the bullet. There are nudes, plums, reds, and pinks. $6.99+-

SinfulColors Flirt With Hearts Collection--There are 8 shades in this collection, including classic pinks and reds as well as trendy teal, and a brand new, limited-edition heart-shaped glitter polish!

I've got 4 of these swatched for you. The glitter top coats have 2 coats and the others have 1 coat. $1.99 at Walgreens

Daredevil--a pop of neon pink. It has a slight blue-based shimmer with a satin finish.

Decadent--Dazzling red with metallic flakes. Love this over white, black, pink, and red.

Dream On--A brilliantly induced boysenberry with a satin finish.

Love Sprinkles--Bubblegum pink with a splash of sparkle. See the heart-shaped glitter in there? Love this over white and pinks.

Rimmel Provocalips 16 Hour Kiss-Proof Lip Color--The second I saw these at Christmas, I instantly grabbed them because they made me think of Valentine's Day. How cute is that packaging?

Here are the swatches. I can get a long wearing time out of these. I was wearing the one on the far left in a recent tutorial on kiss-proof lips. Check drugstores and ULTA for these.

Covergirl Lip Lava--If you want a super sparkly lip, you will love these. I seriously want more colors. Bolder than a balm, glassier than a gloss, more lustrous than a lipstick. The hybrid formula of new Colorlicious Lip Lava combines highly pigmented shades with iridescent pearls for saturated lip color with the high shine of lacquer. 

These have a brush applicator, which I don't like, but the color payoff makes up for it. It doesn't feel gritty on your lips. These look really great in pics, too. They are prettier in person than I can capture here.

Viktor & Rolf BonBon--This was released last fall but I had to share it in this roundup. How cute is the packaging? If you love really sweet scents, then visit Saks and give this a sniff. Here are the scent notes: -Top: Tangerine, Blackcurrant, Orange -Middle: Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Peach -Base: Guaiac Wood, Cedarwood, Caramel

Holika Holika Heartful Silky Lipstick--Ok, y'all, this isn't a new product but I HAD to share it. I mean is this not the cutest lipstick you've ever seen?? It's heart-shaped. If that isn't Valentine's Day then what is? I'm way too excited about it, as you can tell.

You can order these from Asian beauty stores online (like I did) but they are now being sold at UrbanOutfitters.com. Pick up a couple like I did, because it will obviously lose the shape once you start using it.

• For my #JALS challenge (read here to catch up) I am going caffeine-free twice a week. I am telling you this as I sip from my coffee, so the challenge is going super well. ;)
• Had a power outage last night so this post is up super late since I'm writing it right now! I just gave up and went to sleep with the battery on my alarm system beeping...and beeping. So I gave up sleeping. Once the power came back on I was freezing--and the temp had only dropped a few degrees. Ha! I am such a wimp. A few hours without power? C'mon! Now I'm off to take a shower since I couldn't take one last night. You better believe I took off my makeup in the dark though! I used these wipes.
