Makeup Bag has a new look!

We hope you like it as much as we do. We’re especially excited about the new easy to find Product and Brand section in our right sidebar. (We’ve been slowly adding brand categories to all our old posts, but it might be a few more days before we finish. We’ve talked about A LOT of beauty products in the last 8 months!)

Thank you to Rachel and Stephen at Cre8d Design for their incredible work. And thank you to all our wonderful readers/fellow beauty product junkies who support us by visiting often. Makeup Bag appreciates you!

xoxo,

Erika

You’ve already heard this a hundred times, but we’re going to say it again.

The sunscreen in your foundation/primer/moisturizer/mineral makeup IS NOT ENOUGH. These products do not provide the UVA/UVB protection that a broad spectrum sunscreen does. It’s like going out in a rainstorm with a newspaper on your head because you can’t be bothered to fetch your umbrella — except where the sun’s dangerous rays are concerned, a bad hair day will be the least of your worries.

We never leave home without proper protection, and while Anthelios SX has been our favorite, SkinCeuticals Ultimate UV Defense 30 is not far behind. This paba-free, oil-free and fragrance-free formula contains 7% transparent zinc to protect healthy skin and help prevent future damage.

Be skin-smart. Protect yourself.

*Through August 31st, SkinCeuticals is donating a portion of every sunscreen sale to the Skin Cancer Foundation.

Here comes another gorgeous golden color collection for summer. This one is from False Eyelash King Shu Uemura.

With bronze and gold liquid highlighters,  a warm bronzing powder, and an array of lipcolors from their Rouge Unlimited Beige Collection, this summer with Shu will be golden indeed.

See the entire Golden Summer Collection here.

Rouge Dior Red Premiere is our new favorite red lipstick.

This gorgeous blue-based red is not only long lasting but the texture is soft and creamy, leaving our lips feeling smooth and moisturized.

Add the classy blue and silver tube with lips that scream GLAMOUR and we guarantee every head in the room will turn your way.

Rouge Dior comes in 23 other fab colors that will probably rock your world (if they haven’t already).
