I hope everyone had a great weekend! We had a hot weekend here in Southern California – it was nice to have lots of sunny weather but I do hope it will cool down soon. A few new items on my beauty radar right now:
- Louboutin Beauté is launching 38 shades of lipstick in September retailing at $90 each. These are encased in a heavy duty metal cases that look like mini jeweled ornaments. There will be three formulas in Silky Satin, Sheer Voile and Velvet Matte. All will come encased in a gold base and cap except three Rouge Louboutin shades (one in each formula) which comes in a solid black metal case.
- Lipstick Queen has six new shades of a Cupid Strikes Lip Pencil ($22 each). These are a lipliner and lipstick in one kind of product. I have my eye on the colors in Golden Arrow and Apollo – they look really pretty.
- Clinique for Men launched a new Sonic System Deep Cleansing Brush ($89.50). My husband has been using my Clarisonic for a while (he has his own brush heads) but I’m glad to see some lines launching ones for men’s skin. Reports indicate the brushes are slightly different for men’s facial hair. This one has a nice sleek masculine look to it.
- Clarisonic has a men’s tool in the new Alpha Fit Cleansing System for Men ($189). This one is quite a bit more pricey compared to the Clinique. I ordered this already a few weeks ago – the video demonstrated how how versatile it is. My husband likes the look – it has a good design and compact look. He’s testing it right now.
- Tom Ford Beauty has launched 13 new shades of Lip Color (in the full size, $52 each). I have my eye on so many colors, in particular Guilty Pleasure, So Vain and Lilac. Some swatches of the colors on the Tom Ford Forum via Specktra.net.
- Allure and Butter London teamed up to create a collection of 6 nail lacquers ($15 each). The colors include Disco Nap, I’m On the List, It’s Vintage, Lust or Must?, Nude Stilettos and Statement Piece.
- Bobbi Brown has a small Greige Collection with a Eye Palette, two Nail Polishes and two Long-Wear Cream Shadow Sticks. I need to investigate the eyeshadows.
- Frederic Malle now carries the travel sized vials individually. They are expensive when you break down the price per ounce but it’s still a nice way to buy a smaller size instead of splurging on the full size bottle if you’re unsure. My go-to scent is Carnal Flower. I have my eye on Eau de Magnolia, Lipstick Rose and Dries Van Noten.
- and 10. Last but not least, Burberry Beauty has launched at Sephora.com! The full makeup line is available along with some new releases. Sephora has an exclusive Burberry Beauty Box (VIB Rouge exclusive). Other new items include the Kisses Lip Gloss, First Kiss Glossy Lip Balm, Face Contour Pen for Face & Eyes and a new 3-Piece Nail Color Set for Fall.
What’s on your beauty radar this week?
I always love your posts! Especially the new product launches. $90 for a lipstick? What do you think? And I'm glad Burberry is available at Sephora now! I feel like they are so underrated.
More power!

Oh God! This is AMAZING~! Burberry absolutely made a good move to sell it in Sephora, in my humble opinion. Thanks so much for the big news, Sabrina! btw, have you tried their cream shadow?? I saw you swatched a couple of their wet&dry shadow. (your swatches are just georges!) I have been eyeing on their eye palette and the wet&dry, now for fall collection, they have the cream formula, which looks stunning! I don't know how to choose. Really want to hear your advice on the cream shadows. Especially maybe compare with the Tom Ford ones and Charlotte Tilbury ones?? Hmm, maybe that's too much to ask. 🙂 I got very excited by the news. Thanks for your 'radar' post again!
On my radar? Tom Ford lipstick! According to Really Ree, Lips & Boys is becoming a permanent part of the TF lineup. There will be 25 repromotes and 25 new shades. Woo-hoo! I can hardly wait to see swatches of the new boys 🙂 I'm also excited about the new cream/powder eyeshadow duo that will be coming out as part of the TF Holiday collection. It's a lux and dramatic navy blue that will make a stunning–and a bit rock n' roll–smoky eye; especially when paired with a nude or MLBB lip color. Also on my radar is Guerlain's Holiday collection. I can hardly wait to add the beautiful Météorites to my collection. There's also a new LE Rouge G that has me excited.
Sabrina, if you can work it into your blogging schedule, let us know how your husband likes his new Clairasonic. I was thinking about getting something like that for my sons this Christmas and would love to know what he thinks about it.
The Bobbi Brown products look like they need to be in my makeup stash!

Are you planning on reviewing the new Tatcha sunscreen? I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.
Thanks!!
I have two of the Lipstick Queen lip pencils and they are just so nice. The formula is gorgeous and my fav is Desire it's such a lovely cherry red x

I bought TF So so Vain the other day at Nordstrom here — they had all the colors. Making friends with really nice TF guy!
Thanks for all your hard work — swatches are so helpful!
Those Bobbi Brown nail polishes look lovely.
I got those bLxAllure polishes. They are lovely. Disco Nap is by far my favorite. I want the four-pack set too!
I just spent my Sephora cards and didn't even notice Burberry Beauty was there! I'm so sad now. 🙁
I love the packaging on the Louboutin Lipsticks, but at $90 a pop it's just not going to happen. On the flip-side Burberry launching at Sephora is super exciting! I'm going to check out the collection now!
That Bobbi Brown collection looks stunning from first glance! I am a very warm-toned person in terms of the shadows I gravitate towards but have been trying to shake it up with some cooler tones, so that palette is definitely appealing to me! x

I like the Louboutin lipsticks just because they make the TF prices seem a little less crazy! lol
OMG, 90 bucks for a lipstick. I thought TF was expensive! haha

I love all your posts and especially have been loving that you have incorporated some men's items into your posts. Please let us know how your husband likes the Clarisonic!
I'd love to see swatches of the new Burberry Cashmere Concealers – they look like the super luxe version of Maybelline's Age Rewind! Plus, the quality your swatches have spoiled me so I can't just check any old site 😉 (*fingers crossed that flattery is a winner!*)
LOUBOUTIN!!! Cannot wait, I have to have at least one!

Burberry is WAY underrated! So glad they're at Sephora now! Best eyeshadow and I'm obsessed with the new First Kiss Glossy Lip Balm in Soft Peach. Need to see more swatches now!
