Today I have another roundup of new beauty items on my radar. This time of year is my favorite because all the pretty spring-summery colors and fragrances start coming out. The Sephora Beauty Insider sale starts soon (the 12th for VIB Rouge) so if you’re a beauty addict like me, you’ve probably started a wish list and have been moving things in and out of your online shipping cart.
1 / Last week I was lucky to get an early sneak peek at the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzers ($50 each). You can see a little preview here and here. I’m hoping to have the review up this weekend but I can say right now they are amazing. They are currently available exclusively at Sephora.com for VIB/VIB Rouge Members, launch for everyone on 4/15 online at Sephora and Hourglass Cosmetics and hit stores in May.
2 / To celebrate the opening of the Diptyque Beverly Hills Boutique, the store has released a limited-edition Beverly Hills Candle ($70) exclusive to the store that has lemon + mint essential oils, orchid and freesia accord. 10% of the proceeds will be donated to LA> a leading independent nonprofit contemporary art space in Los Angeles supporting artistic and curatorial freedom. The candle is exclusive to the boutique, you can order one by calling the Beverly Hills store at (310) 385-5941.
3 / Also new from Diptyque is the Florabellio Eau de Toilette (in a 50 ml is $90 and 100 ml is $125). It’s available starting this month and is supposed to be a mix of sweet, salty, apple blossom and apricot-scented osmanthus mist. The Diptyque South Coast Plaza Boutique has a promo going on if you pre-order the fragrance they will include a 12 ml mini of Florabellio as a gift with purchase. You can reach the store at (714) 850-9995, ask for Raven.
4 / Christopher Kane for NARS Summer 2015 Collection features some stunning beauty pieces. It launches online at Narscosmetics.com and Boutiques on April 15th, everywhere else May 1st.
5 / Jo Malone has three newly packaged colognes that are special-edition versions of some previously released scents ($125 each for 3.4 oz). Plum Blossom comes in a purple cap and label, Osmanthus Blossom comes with a spring green packaging, Sakura Cherry Blossom comes with the pink packaging.
6 / Laura Mercier has released eight new shades of the Creme Lip Color Smooth Formula ($27 each). The new shades include a mix of nudes and rose and plum: Lychee Parfait, Biscotti, Milky Way, Crushed Pecan, Praline Cream, Rose, Audrey and Dry Rose. Some of the names look familiar to me from her older formulas. I think a trip to the counter is in order for me soon.
7 / Tarte has a new Showstopper Clay Palette ($38) which looks perfect for summer. It has six warm-toned shadows, blush, bronzer and highlighter all in one. It’s in my Sephora shopping cart right now since the store locator function shows it’s online only right at this moment.
8 / Caudalie has four new masks. I ordered all four on Monday since I’m on the verge of running out of my Glamglow and Aesop masks. I have high hopes for these and will review once I put them to the test. I like the concept of different masks for different needs. The four options include the Purifying Mask, the Instant Detox Mask, the Moisturizing Mask and the Glycolic Peel Mask ($39 each).

love the notes in the diptyque candle! I am into mint lately…..although I really dislike the packaging on that one. I think I am going to buy the moisturizing mask! Can't wait to hear your review.
Damn–I swore off pricey candles but this BH sounds divine! Have you smelled this at all-burning or cold?
I can't wait to try that hourglass bronzer- it is so beautiful!

Well, I just dropped a bundle at the Tom Ford counter at Bergdorf's so it better be good! LOL!
I am already drooling over the new Hourglass Bronzers! x

I love the Osmanthus! Definitely will check out the other two 🙂
Eagerly awaiting your review of Caudalie Glycolic Peel mask. Xx
Those Hourglass Ambient Bronzers are definitely on my MUST BUY list, together with Illamasqua's new Gel Sculpt in Silhouette. Don't care if I use them, really, I just gotta have them!
Yes, I should be committed. Or have my credit card taken late at night, at least.
I just got the Hourglass bronzer and I'm hooked! It gives such a nice bronze glow to the skin, love it!
I'm looking forward to your HG Bronzer review. I think they should add one more darker shade for girls like me who are NW45 and darker.
I'm looking forward to try the new Caudalie masks. The moisturizing one is for sure a new version (or just the old version with a new packaging) of one I've been using for a while and I really like it. I reviewed it on my blog last year.
The Hourglass bronzer is definitely on my radar as well! So is the new Nars collection!

Oh man, although those Hourglass Bronzers are just going to be more expensive here in Australia I still think I'm going to have to have a go at getting my hands on them. They look so beautiful!
Oh & the Christopher Kane Nar's collection, do not get me started!
