The Lipstick League – week of 3.11.12
I have met my Holy Grail brow product. And it is called MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Brow. I’ll be gushing soon…
Question of the Week – What’s your current favorite face powder and why?
Answer: Honestly, I don’t love any of the powders I’m using right now. I’m excited to hear what your favorites are!
Here’s what’s going on with the league…
Prime Beauty – dishes on the new Laura Mercier Smooth Creme Lip Colours–there are 14 of them, see two of her favs!
Phyrra – shares several brands from The Makeup Show LA. Check it out!
Vampy Varnish – shows you several options for bright lips in the hotter Spring and Summer months!
we heart this – Stef shares one of her favorite bright eye shadow palettes, AND you can get it for under 5 bucks!
Beauty Junkies Unite – Curious if the new Miracle Blur Instant Line Smoother from L’Oréal Paris really works or not? Check out this review with before & after photos, then decide for yourself!
Clumps of Mascara – tested a makeup remover that just wasn’t up to par. In fact, it just, well…it sucked.
EauMG – The 1920’s are going to be a big trend this year thanks to The Great Gatsby movie coming out this spring. Instead of trying a perfume inspired by flappers, try one actually worn by flappers! Victoria reviews her favorite carnation perfume.
Gouldylox Reviews – Love the YSL Rouge Pur Couture lip stains? Don’t miss these at the drugstore – some of the colors are an amazing dupe!
Lipglossiping – deploys her taste buds as she gets to grips with Jo Malone’s limited edition Sugar & Spice fragrance collection.
Nouveau Cheap – has been testing the new CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation for a while, and finally has her verdict.
Pink Sith – has three of the new NARS Satin Lip Pencils to share with you and a question about lip swatches
Guest Post of the Week, as chosen by Prime Beauty – I don’t have a discerning nose but love perfume so I go to Cute and Mundane to read fragrance reviews. Dovey doesn’t only review fragrances though, she’s all about the makeup too.
Readers, what’s your current favorite face powder and why? (Help a blogger out!)

@stef – Well, I do not have anything new or innovative to say. I am using a great work horse in my beauty arsenal — bare minerals. It does not irate my skin, SPF and is easy to reapply if necessary. (It now comes in a compact.)
this is an easy one for me! Mine is MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural. I used it to set my makeup (all I wear is L’oreal BB cream right now) and it gives me extra coverage that I love. It pulls my look together and finalizes it perfectly! I used to also love the MAC Blot Powder which is also great for middle of day touch ups.
I was {thisclose} to buying that on my last MAC jaunt @mandabear – but I was bummed it didn’t come with an applicator. But I’m a HUGE Blot Powder fan!

I have loved Lancome’s “Dual Finish Versatile Powder Makeup” for many years. It can be used as a foundation wet or dry, and it blends seamlessly into skin. It acts more like a liquid than a powder–no cakey feel, no sneaking into lines and crevices (WHAT lines and crevices?). If I need a touch-up–rarely–I whip it out and use it where needed.
Aw, @stef, how long are you going to leave us hanging on the MUFE product? I’m absolutely intrigued by a liquid eyebrow product. We have ways to make you talk . . .
Soon @gigi – soon!

VERY curious about the MUFE brow product!
I use MAC Blot Powder or MAC Mineralize Loose powder.
I use MAC’s Blot Powder for touch-ups, but my absolute favorite is Ben Nye’s Luxury Powder in Banana! I used it in college but I’ve fallen in love with it again. I have a hard time finding powder but this yellow baby is great because it sets my makeup without giving me a whitish porcelain doll look. Plus, it’s huge and lasts forever…
Well, i.d. bare minerals is one of my favs..
How’s that MUFE product?
I’m still searching for my favorite…until then I’ll just keep amassing a ridiculous amount of “not quite right” powders :P
That’s exactly how I am. Too light, too dark, too powdery, too cakey – I have a collection of “not quite right” too.
