Usually we consider ourselves lucky if a lipstick looks good on us and doesn't make our lips dry like the Sahara. Perhaps our standards are a bit unusual, but we've been doing this a long time. Even hard-eyed beauty editors, though, know a cool find when they see it, and Lola Duo lipstick ($22) is exactly that. It's a typical columnar lipstick, but each side is a unique shade that works on its Read more

Nobody would ever really be keen on the idea of putting blood or tears on our lips, so Rain Cosmetics is really lucky that its new lip stain, Blood ($12), and gloss, Tears ($12), are so superlatively great. Blood is a deep pink gel-based stain that's like a thicker, less-red Benetint. The lasting power is excellent when applied on the lips, but it works well on cheeks, too — even though it's Read more

Benefit has always stuck to powder-based foundation, but no longer. After four years of research and development, the brand is premiering its first liquid foundation, and we got to be among the first to try it out. Our biggest takeaway: this is not your average foundation. To see what it's all about, check out our review below. Read more

Flirt Cosmetics' Big Flirt lip gloss ($16) is not for those who like a light-on-color, light-on-texture gloss. Not only is the tube, wand, and applicator much larger than your average gloss, but the shine factor is off the charts as well. But this isn't the superslick, full-on wet look that dominated red carpets, magazines, and just about everywhere else circa 2000. Instead, it's all about a Read more

If you're looking for some fancy eyelashes that will blow your admirers away without letting them know you're using more than just mascara, let us introduce you to Benefit Big Spender lashes ($15). They give you that big, doe-eyed look without mascara, but they're not so flashy that anyone would look at them and go "Aha! Fake eyelashes." Plus, if you're sparing with the eyelash glue and take Read more

I've tried many brow-filling products as a result of a decade-old mishap involving an overly zealous tweezing experience, but recently I've struck gold (uh, taupe) with It Cosmetics' Brow Power Universal Eyebrow Pencil ($24). Lots of eyebrow pencils look harsh, but this one, thanks to its smooth, glide-on texture and natural-looking hue, appears faint and realistic on the skin. Even better, the Read more

I've long been a fan of Benefit Eyecon ($30), because it really does a good job of de-puffing and brightening up under eyes. Now though, it's being discontinued and Benefit is premiering a totally different set of skin care. The new line, B.right, has its own eye cream called It's Potent ($32). Since I have a jar of both creams, I decided to compare and see how the new product measures up. So Read more

MAC's new Jeanius collection is all about denim. But the cutest and most noteworthy pieces have to be the denim Jeanius eye shadows ($20 each), which look like the corner pocket on a pair of jeans. I tested all four shades, so to find out what I thought and see a picture of how the pans stand up to use, just keep reading. Read more

I've been coveting the glossy, sheer lipstick looks that were all over Fashion Week, and MAC is finally giving me what I want with their new Sheen Supreme lipstick ($14.50). I tried a bunch of their shades, but New Temptation and Bare Again were my favorites. To see what I liked about them and how they looked on, check out the pictures and review below. Read more
