4 To Know: Check Out These New Products!

If the recent Haute Couture shows (Christian Dior) or the fall ad campaigns (Tom Ford) are any indication, the bright eyeshadow trend doesn't show any signs of slowing. Sure, the look might go a little dusky for fall and, naturally, everyday looks aren't typically as eye-catching and colorful, but figuring out how to use bright eyeshadow can still prove to be a major mystery. Enter Inglot's new Rainbow Eyeshadow Freedom Palette. Taking the guesswork out of bold colors, the triple-layered, matte shadows allow you to go as soft or bright as you want, all within one hue—use a soft touch and sweep on a lighter shade, keep the intensity on the lid and blend out, or go bold with a bright line kept close to the lashes (Inglot's highly pigmented shadows can be used as liners, too). Color us happy. 

Inglot Rainbow Eyeshadow Freedom Palette, from $24, available July 16 at Inglot.

f you're itching for a green makeup fix, look no further than Ilia, a new line of luxe, semi-sheer, balm-meets-lipstick lippies from Vancouver. Free of scary chemicals and packed with ingredients like cocoa butter, orange blossom oil, and vitamin E, these stylish sticks are sure to keep your kisser looking better than ever. Aside from being 85% certified organic, the colors are 100% certified fashionable: We love the coral, the nude, and the appropriately-named Shell Shock Pink. The subtle tint is great for daytime or date night, and you can vamp it up by adding a few extra layers. Plus, at around $25 bucks a pop, these babies come in at the same price as other luxury brands, but with an organic and Earth-friendly angle—the packaging is made from recycled aluminum and post-consumer waste. We're sold! 

Ilia Pure Lip Care, $24.95, available at Ilia Beauty.

These four-in-one eyeshadow palettes prove that high-quality shadows don't have to be high-priced. Plus, Kashuk's metallic shades go on shimmery, instead of overly glittery or sparkly, making them super versatile and wearable for all occasions. Sonia Kashuk Eye Quads, $12.99, available at Target.

We all want to look as polished as runway models when it comes to our beauty

routines, and red lipstick is about as reliable and sexy as it gets. 

Model Natalia Vodianova sure knows it—she personally chose the new 

Rouge G Garçonne lipstick from Guerlain's latest fall shades and wears

in the new ad campaign, to stunning results. Talk about flawless: It may be a splurge, 

but seeing this rich, bold color definitely takes the guesswork out of buying 

a new red lipstick for fall! Thanks, Natalia!

Guerlain Rouge G lipstick in Garçonne, $47, available in August at Nordstrom.

I love This Product! Burt's Bee's To The Rescue!!!!! Perfect tinted Lip Balm For Life of The Prarie.....

So I am working on a western Mini-series and makeup can be an issue, an issue in the sense that I want to make all my ladies look glamorous and well, it's set in 1870's  and as it is my leading lady Natalie Hall, looks like Briggitte Bardot Ala 1870's  on the prairie. So for lips, I turned to Burt's Bee's New Tinted Lip Balms, and low and behold perfection. The colors are rich in pigment , yet subtle and smooth, easy to blot down and not to shining. I have mixed it with TARTE'S Lip Surgence In Peaceful too. Brilliant effect!
