National Lipstick Day
Last Wednesday was National Lipstick Day. Of course, I celebrated. And from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed, I saw Instagram post after Instagram post from other people celebrating -- fellow beauty aficionados and retailers, alike. WWD recapped some of the highlights of retailers partaking in the festivities, and below are a couple more from my favorite accounts.
This one's from @IntoTheGloss, featuring the beauty look at Comme des Garcon's Fall 2004 show.
And of course, this post from @BeautyBlitz, one of my favorite beauty accounts, talking about her first beauty goal - Molly Ringwald's lipstick talents from Breakfast Club.
Lipstick Queen Cupid's Bow Review
Prior to this month, I'd only heard of Lipstick Queen, but just recently started testing products from the brand's different collections. As part of my weekly Vanity Report for Lilliana Vazquez's site, and in further celebration of National Lipstick Day, I reviewed Lipstick Queen's Cupid's Bow Collection. I'm loving these lip crayons for the combination of their matte staying power and a hint of sheen. Read the full review here.

Counterfeit Cosmetics Alert
Allure shared an article this week about the dangers of counterfeit beauty products, and two arrests that occurred in London after a campaign called "Wake up - don't fake up!" launched. This is a topic I've been hearing about, as earlier this year the U.S. Department of Homeland Security also shed light on its dangers - like products that can cause infections, are expired and potentially poisonous. Though these guidelines are London based, they're great tips for ensuring you're not buying fakes if you do a lot of shopping for beauty products online like I do.
Cushion Makeup
At the top of my to-do list is trying out cushion makeup. It originally picked up traction in Korea - which means yes, I'll put it on my face - and is now taking off in the US. I've read about different forms of application with these products, and as far as I can figure out, it's like your makeup has a built-in Beauty Blender, or like playing Bingo on your cheeks and lips. These are a few Korean and US-based brands doing cushion products that I'm excited to try.
