Hello Makeup Geeks and welcome to the HOT New Products for January 2014! This month there are some great new products I am excited to share with you, as well as some definite misses. So sit back and enjoy the first of this year’s HITS or MISSES!
Too Faced Chocolate Bar
This is another great palette by Too Faced. These shadows formulated using real cocoa, come in a sleek and durable tin shaped like a chocolate bar. Since each shade is made with real cocoa, when you open the palette you smell the sweet and subtle scent of chocolate. This palette includes 16 eye shadows in total, 10 and 6 matte with a variety of different blending shades. The majority of these shadows are rich, creamy, and amazingly pigmented with just a few misses in the palette. Overall, I highly recommend this palette to anyone!
Where to Buy – (Sephora), (Amazon), (eBay)
Price: $49.00 for .62 oz.
Stila Magnificent Metal Liners
The Stila Magnificent Metal Liners are perfect for any collection. Versatile enough to be used as a cream shadow, eye shadow base, or a liner these are bound to add a pop of shimmer to any look. These metal liners are extremely pigmented, however the texture is a bit chunky because of the specks of glitter. Stila currently offers these metal liners in 4 vibrant shades all of which are must haves!
Where to Buy – (Sephora), (eBay)
Price: $25.00 for .07 oz.
Marc Jacobs Lash Lifter – Gel Definition Mascara
This mascara is a bit on the pricey side, and it is not worth the price! The packaging is sleek and elegant looking, yet it’s a bit large to carry around in your purse. The wand is very standard in comparison to most, and the formula is not the greatest. As I used this mascara, my lashes began to stick together it actually made me eyelashes look thinner. This is definitely a miss for the month of January.
Where to Buy – (Sephora), (Amazon), (eBay)
Price: $26.00 for .24 oz.
L’OCCITANE Hand Cream
I am a sucker for anything mango scented so I picked this up because it smells heavenly! The packaging is great as it’s easy to throw in your purse or bag and take with you on the go. The formula is light weight, non-greasy and very hydrating. I recommend it this product!

Price: $12.00 for 1 oz.
Dose of Color Lipstick
I can’t tell you how much I love these lipsticks. These sell online for $16.00 each and there are currently 8 shades to choose from. The packaging on this is not your typical black packaging, I love how this goes in the opposite direction and looks completely different but amazing. I also love how on the bottom of the tube you can see the actual shade that is inside. The formula on these is perfection. They are creamy and smooth and glide on flawlessly. They have very intense pigmentation so you don’t need a lot. There is nothing bad to say about these. I would recommend these to anyone.
Price: $18.00

Bumble and Bumble Spray Chalk
This retails for $19.00 for 1.4 ounce of product. It comes in 4 shades and washes out. I love this, it’s a great way to add some fun to your hair and is easier than the actual chalking that everyone is wearing these days.
Price: $19.00
Where to Buy: (Sephora), (Amazon), (eBay)
Smashbox Always Sharp 3D Liner
These liners come in 8 shades and contain 0.01 ounces of product and retail for $20.00. The price is somewhat steep on these but they are not only pigmented but absolutely water proof. I tried them out, washed my face and everything and they didn’t budge. These will be ideal for the summer when you plan on swimming or being in the ocean a lot. They have a nude liner in the lineup that can be used in the waterline and does not go anywhere.
Price: $20.00
Where to Buy: (Sephora), (Amazon), (eBay)
I hope you all are doing great! Be sure to bundle up and stay warm. I hope each and everyone of you are staying happy and healthy. 🙂
XOXO,

See you soon
