Black Ecstasy Mascara
Black Ecstasy Mascara is my favorite this month.
It’s an ultra-black, total-effect mascara with a cylindrical, multidirectional brush that captures and coats every lash with four patented multi-effect waxes for quick application, volume, length and curl. Its formula features an exclusive color-boosting polymer for the most intense black yet. It makes your eyelashes beautiful and thick without flaking or clumping. It’s also easy to remove, which is a real plus for me.

Eye Tint
Fluid Eye Color Film
This innovative formula transforms from liquid to solid, instantly adhering to the eyelid while providing 16 hours of smudge- and crease-proof wear. Formulated with a hold booster, a creamy polymer with glycerine that allows pure color pigments to blend together seamlessly and stay on lids, this tint is infused with a color vibrancy booster, which is enriched with natural pigments and pearls. This unique complex works together to evenly disperse high-density color. This eye tint features dynamic runway-inspired shades that can be used as an eye shadow or eyeliner, or layer them together for natural to glamorous looks.

From Smashbox

Smashbox Step-By-Step Contour Stick Trio
An exclusive set of three ultra-blendable, creamy sticks that glide effortlessly onto skin for targeted, precise application and a totally even finish.
I love using contouring products. Smashbox has made it easy to do so by creating shadows, highlight mimics light reflection to pull features forward, and bronze provides a smooth transition that eliminates the look of harsh lines. The result is flawlessly shaped features from defined-looking cheekbones to a seemingly perfected nose to the appearance of a sculpted jawline. The kit also includes a how-to insert with simple instructions for achieving the best look for your face shape. This set is exclusively available at Sephora.

From Bobbi Brown:
More subtle than the Shimmer Brick but with the same overall brightening effect of the finishing powde, this creates a lit-from-within glow plus a hint of color.
Brightening Brick in Pink combines the warmth of a bronzer and the soft flush of a blush to give light skin tones gorgeous, subtle luminosity. It is perfect for fair skin. Apply on cheeks with the Face Blender Brush, and to the rest of the face for a subtle luminosity.
$46

Sheer Lip Color
The sheer lip look of the season – introducing a lightweight formula for lips with a nourishing shine. Luxurious butters and oils improve the overall condition of lips, instantly and over time. Glides on smoothly and evenly for hours of feather-free wear.

Eye brows are back. Check out the Perfectly Defined Long-Wear Brow Pencil; an automatic pencil designed with a unique slant tip for ultra-precise definition. It’s formulated with a combination of waxes and emollients so it won’t smudge or fade. Use the flat side of the pencil to shape the beginning of the brow and the pointed tip to define the edges of the brow.
