CoverGirl's new "Gotta Have It" colours are like candy and they are encouraging us to play. The new collection features bright yellow, gold, shocking shades of blue and deep purple.


This summer we are encouraged to wear whatever we want and have some fun with it! The reasonable price point makes it easy to experiment without too much of a risk. The trick is in applying them correctly.


Celebrity makeup artist, Paul Venoit explained that the technology that goes into the products is better than ever and allows them to create competitive products for less. These eyeshadows are more pigmented so you don't need to apply as much to see dramatic results.


I have found that their matte colours are better than the shimmery ones for staying power, but the shimmery gold and orange look great for a more subtle summery look. The Purple Pop packs some serious punch (sorry, couldn't resist!) and more than a few beauty editors agreed it was the best of the bunch.



The Amazement lipglosses with Crest toothpaste were in my opinion a little much. While the idea of a lipgloss freshening my breath is appealing, I felt like I was licking toothpaste all evening, which was odd.

Have you tried any of these products? What did you think?
