Beautiful Developments: what’s happening in the beauty world

Written by Bryce

The beauty world is stirring with all sorts of new and jazzy developments, so we’re providing you with a roundup of what’s happening now. Literally, your eyeliner is being kept up to the minute.

1. There’s a new Cover Girl in town! Becky G, the 16 year old singer, song-writer, and rapper will be the go-to gal for all things drugstore beautiful. We’re excited to see a Mexican-American superstar gal gracing us with her beauty, and even more excited that she shares our love of Cover Girl Outlast Stay Brilliant Glosstinis.

2. The bird poop facial is still going strong in NYC. The purveyors have dubbed it the “Geisha” facial, but anything that involves a healthy dose of bird poop = bird poop facial to us. Still, it seems kind of glam in a “try anything once” kind of way… like a shot of everclear. [ beautynewsnyc.com ]

3. Speaking of poop… Priobiotics aren’t just for poop anymore. They’re for your facial skin, and heck, all your other skin. We found a ton of small websites and a few big ones, like Sephora, peddling this new wave in skincare. Probiotic skincare is supposed to tame inflammation. The jury is still out, but we still heartily suggest a big yogurt for any of you not consuming enough fiber.

4. NARS Satin Lip Pencil lasts longer than the mermaids have in mythology. We’ve been test-driving a bright red version and will give a complete review soon, but the point is, it’s worth buying. And maybe a backup. It’s that good. [ sephora.com ]
