Needful Things - pink makeup from Fenty Beauty, Trinny London and Korres!

 

I went to see the Barbie movie a couple of weeks ago (excellent, highly recommend!) and while I was totally into the the whole dress all in pink thing to see the movie, I realized that my closet contains a whole lot of neutrals and no pink! 

 

No problem, my makeup collection has more then enough pink to make up for it - and this is what I went with...

 

Fenty Icon Velvet Liquid Lipstick in Pink Limo Scene - $43 - a luxe and whipped liquid in vivid hot pink  with a velvet-matte finish that won't settle into fine lines or dry out your lips.

 

Available online at fentybeauty.com.

I balanced out the bold lip with a more subdued eye:

 

Trinny London Eye2Eye in Joy - a shimmering blossom pink moisture enriched cream shadow - I love this one (the whole line really) because I am such a lazy morning makeup person and all you have to do is swipe a bit of this across your lid with a finger and it adds perk and polish with zero effort! 

Available online at trinnylondon.com/ca.

Korres Gel Effect Nail Colour in Candy Pink - $15 - a uniform gel veil with sweet almond oil that dries in less than 60 seconds, without the use of a UV lamp, to become the dazzling shield of colour - I confess I put this on in the car - it really did dry fast and even with the hurried application there was no chipping for over a week!

Available online at korres.com.

Share my love for all things pink and grapefruit with new products from Neutrogena, Garnier and The Body Shop!

Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Oil-Free Cleansing Wipes for Acne-Prone Skin - 25 wipes - $9.99 - pre-moistened wipes that thoroughly sweep away pore-clogging impurities and oil in one simple step without drying and with no greasy residue left behind so there's no need to rinse. Contains 100% naturally-derived grapefruit extract and Vitamin C that is not only good for your skin, but makes it smell amazing!

Don't be scared off if you aren't necessarily acne prone, I'm not but couldn't resist these because of the smell! I've been using them as a first step before my Clarisonic to get rid of dirt and makeup so the brush doesn't get gunked up and they have been amazing and not at all drying.

Part of the Pink Grapefruit line that includes: Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleanser - 177ml - $9.99; Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub - 125ml - $9.99; Body Clear Pink Grapefruit Body Wash - 250ml - $9.99

Garnier Fructis Grapefruit Tonic Fortifying Shampoo & Conditioner - 384ml - $5.29, 750ml - $7.99 - meant for normal to dull hair with a silicon and paraben free formula that is super light and 90% biodegradable for shinier, weightless hair that is bursting with vitality. Not only does it contain pink grapefruit extract - known for its antioxidant properties to offer a toning sensation that revives the hair's natural shine - it smells wonderfully grapefruit-y along with a bunch of other delicious fruity notes that it contains - pure heaven in my books!

As well, there are other amazing smelling options for other hair types including Citrus Mint Fresh for normal to greasy hair and Passion Splash for normal to dry hair.

Available now at drug and mass retailers across Canada.

The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Eau de Toilette - 30ml - $14 - one of my fave scents from the store and I have always been sad that the closest thing you could get to it in a fragrance was the oil - my frown has been turned upside down thanks to TBS's new line of fragrances which includes my beloved Pink Grapefruit!

Other scents available in the new fragrance line include: Strawberry, Moringa, Coconut, Mango, Shea, Satsuma and Vanilla.

Available this month in-store and online at www.thebodyshop.ca.

Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick - Electric Pink and Pink Petal swatches!

Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick - $22 - in 20 shades from nudes to reds including both cream and matte shades. I like this reformulated lipstick a lot more then I did their old one which I found a bit drying - even the matte shades in the new line have a very comfortable feeling to them.

With this post in mind I went looking for the Smashbox lipsticks that I knew I had and hadn't swatched for you yet, thinking that I remembered buying them in fall-like colours in preparation for the new season.

To my surprise when I found them I discovered that they were pink - not only pink but pretty much the same shade of pink in the two different finishes.

Can't blame a girl for knowing what she likes right? So rather then the plums and berries that I planned to bring you - here, have some pink!
