Your Shopping List: Beauty Pick-Me-Ups for Cranky Pants Ladies

Posted by Alexandra C. | Thursday July 18, 2013

I'm a total cranky-pants when it comes to the summer heat (just ask any of my co-workers or friends). I get so lethargic and all I want to do is stay home by myself, sit in my underwear and watch Netflix. When these days get especially bad and I should really be sequestered away from civilization, I reach for lipstick. Remember: when all else fails, there is always lipstick and retail therapy. It makes me feel all happy-go-lucky, care free and totally un-cranky-pants!

If you're like me, then you need this list of beauty pick-me-ups to help put a bounce back in your step. Some of these products are recently released and some are soon to be released. Mark the release date on your calender and next time you're feeling down look at that date and think 'soon...'.

1. Pari Lip Paint (C$14.00)

2. Avon Mega Effects Mascara (US$10.00): I know what you're thinking, that paintbrush is a mascara?! Yup! Don't worry, a 'We Tried It' is sure to follow.

3. Too Faced Pretty Rebel Eyeshadow Palette (C$54.00)

4. Katy Perry Killer Queen Perfume (August 2013)

5. Lancome x Alber Elbaz Hypnose Drama Show Mascara (C$32.00)

6. Stella McCartney Stella Summer (C$72.00)

7. Kiehl's Skin Tone Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream (C$36.00)

8. Dior CC Primer Radiance Booster Color Correcting Primer (C$49.00)

9. Lancome Teint Visionnaire Skin Correcting Makeup Duo Dark Spots (C$60.00)

10. Wet n Wild Pop Art Craze Collection Eyeshadow Trios: I mentioned Wet n Wild's eyeshadow trios in my $20 makeup challenge and how big a fan I was of their great price and pigmentation. These limited edition colours scream summer and chicness. Unfortunately, I don't believe they've hit Canada yet, but they've been flying off the shelves in the U.S.

And finally, I saved the best for last ladies...

The much coveted Marc Jacobs Beauty collection will hit Sephora exclusively in August 2013! These are just a few pieces:

1. Marc Jacobs Remedy Concealer Pen (C$47.00)

2. Marc Jacobs Enamoured Hi-Shine Lacquer (C$22.00)

3. Marc Jacobs Shameless Blush (C$36.00)

4. Marc Jacobs Lust for Lacquer Lip Vinyl (C$34.00)

Which of these products are you most looking forward to splurging on?
