New Spring Make-Up Kits

After I posted the new coupon codes for Sephora I headed on over there to see if they have added anything new and lo and behold they have. Sephora, like many other retail sites, are jumping onto the Spring season bandwagon and have added many new Spring collection kits. I for one am very excited to see so many great new light and bright Spring colors.

Stila On the Go Set ($65 Value) On the Go Set. I always look forward to Stila's kits for each season. Sometimes I am disappointed because the kit features solely foundations and primers and no color, but most time I am excited to find great eye shadow palettes. Their new On the Go Set delivers with a great eye shadow quad featuring four .22 oz eyeshadows in shimmering beige, golden taupe shimmer, rich chocolate with gold shimmer, and peach shimmer. Stila has mastered the art of eye shadow shimmer. Each shade offers the perfect amount of shimmer without being overly glitter. No one wants to look like they used the make-up that came with their 1980s Barbie doll after all. Also included are a 15 oz Convertible Color in Lillium (fresh rosy peach) and a .04 oz Lip Glaze in Honeydew (sheer golden pink shimmer). Peach blush is the perfect shade for every skin tone. It is one of those shades that highlights your cheekbones without drawing too much attention to them. It would be nice if this collection came in a real make-up bag as opposed to a "bag" made out of cardboard. Only $30.

LORAC Maui Wowie ($90 Value) Maui Wowie. LORAC has finally taken a hint from numerous cosmetics companies and have begun offering more and more kits. I am a huge LORAC fan, but hate the fact that usually you have to buy many seperate products as opposed to getting a handful of them in a handy dandy kit. That is slowly but surely changing. Their new Maui Wowie kit is screaming Spring. The four eye shadows (Macadamia (cream sparkle), Pacific (shimmering aqua), Hibiscus (dusty rose), and Toasted Coconut (warm brown sparkle)) are absolutely gorgeous. The shimmering aqua shade seems to be one of the "it" colors this Spring. Also included in this set are the Hot Flash blush/bronzer duo (pink & bronze shimmer); a 0.07 oz Lip/Cheek Tint (creamy pink); a 0.07 oz Hawaiian Ice Lip Gloss (shimmery pink); plus a double-ended lip and eye brush, cheek brush, and mirror. The fact that this kit includes the necessary brushes means that this is a toss and go set. Going away for the weekend? Toss this kit into your bag and you're good to go. Only $37.

Nars Deep Throat Blush & Striptease Lip Gloss Set. After their very successful Orgasm kit, Nars has finally released a new lip gloss and blush set. What's even better is that this set introduces the brand new lip gloss shade of Striptease. Nars calls the new pearlized glazed sheen color "the quintessential nude lip gloss that imparts a universally flattering, candlelight-nude luster to lips." I have to say, I am so curious about this lip gloss. The color sample on the website along with the description makes this sound like the new must have shade. Ever since Jennifer Lopez hit the scene with her super glossy nude lips I have been in love with the look. This shade sounds like it would give you this look. I cannot wait to try this shade. I am already a huge fan of the Deep Throat blush shade. Again, here we find another gorgeous peach hue for the Springtime. Nars blush always has the perfect amount of light reflecting shimmer in it. It allows your face to catch the light and just gives off a radient glow. Only $45.

Bare Escentuals Park Place Princess ($83 Value) Park Place Princess. I have tried every product in this kit and can honestly say that I love them all. Set includes a .02 oz 100 percent pure bareMinerals All-Over Face Color in Glee (for a soft-focus, muted mauve glow), .02 oz Feather Light Mineral Veil (enhances your complexion to royal perfection), .02 oz bareMinerals Glimmer in Drama, .2 oz Lip Gloss in Glee (together, this golden brown shadow and silver plum gloss add the perfect balance of drama and class for this very sophisticated look), and a Double-Ended Soft Focus Face and Eye Brush. The Drama Glimmer is my absolute favorite Bare Minerals eye shadow shade (okay, maybe it's a tie between Drama and Nude Beach). It is a gorgeous golden brown shade with breathtaking shimmer. Also, you can never go wrong with a Bare Escentuals brush. That is one of the things that I love about Bare Escentuals kits; most of them come with full size professional make-up application brushes. Most of you are well aware of how pricey cosmetic brushes are. With a kit like this, you are able to score gorgeous cosmetics as well as professional brushes that can be used with other cosmetics as well. Only $42.
