Beauty Bulletin: New Product Collections

So many brands are ringing in the new year with new collections ranging from nail polish to new eyeshadow palettes. There are so many new products coming out that it's overwhelming and I thought I would feature some of my favorites here:

One of the collections that I'm most excited about is Elle and Blair's new Skylark Shiver Shades nail lacquer set. Blair mentioned in one of her videos that they had been working on the line for about six months and it seems like it was definitely worth it!! The colors are gorgeous and blush.com has a video on the product page introducing the amazing polishes:

The set is originally about $30, but blush.com is keeping it on sale for about $20 until the end of 2012 I believe. I can't wait to get my hands on these! Absolutely love! Here's the link to check out the polishes: http://www.blush.com/product_Shiver+shades+nail+lacquer+set_44600.htm

Another great brand has released some new polish collections. OPI now has 4 new studio shades and 4 stage shades from the brand new Mariah Carey collection that introduces OPI's new texture "Liquid Sand". The collection will be released to store in January.

Here's the absolutely gorgeous collection (images credited to stylebistro.com):

Sprung (Studio Shade), Pink Yet Lavender (Studio Shade), Anti-Bleak (Studio Shade), The Impossible (Stage Shade)

From Left to Right: Can't Let Go (Stage Shade), Stay the Night (Stage Shade), Get Your Number (Stage Shade), A Butterfly Moment (Studio Shade)

Nails aren't the only things that brands have been whipping up products for; Smashbox has introduced some art inspired "Love Me" shadow palettes that are packaged just beautifully!

This first palette is in the shade "Entice Me", and it includes a shimmery blackish gray, an equally shimmery cocoa brown, a pretty nude pink, a baby blue, and a dark navy. The words "Love Me" are written across the top, dividing the shadows, and although the palettes are at a pricier $34, they are so worth it.

"Admire Me"; the nude version of the palettes.

For the more exciting release, the amazing Drew Barrymore collaborated with makeup artist Debra Felluro to create her own cosmetics line named "Flower" which will be available at Walmart starting in January. She brought all of her products from the line to a recent Allure cover shoot, and it wasn't in the final packaging yet. The line currently has been reported to have 181 products that will range from about $5 to about $14. Drew has been involved in the makeup game as a face for Lancome and is now a face and co-creative director for Cover Girl. She is now taking her rightful place as a creator of her own line!

So far the line looks great packaging wise, let's hope the products themselves are something to praise over! You go Drew! :)

There is so much to look forward to in the new year! What's something that you are most excited about?  I'll definitely be hitting up my local Walmart in search of Drew's line, will you? There's many more new product releases as well. So much to do, and so much to try. Part of my resolutions is to try as many new products as I can and review them right here. :)

Til next time,
