Spotted: NEW Products from Biore, Neutrogena, Garnier, Organix, Burt's Bees, Olay and More (PIC HEAVY)

Happy New Year, my lovelies! I thought I'd kick off 2015 with a big ol' new product sightings post for you today. In addition to all of the new 2015 makeup I've been covering for the past several weeks, new skincare, body care and haircare products are now starting to make their way into drugstores and big box stores, and I've got TONS to share with you thanks to some very lovely readers (I've also spotted some new things myself over the past week or so, which I'l be showing you in second).

I have so much to cram into this post that I want to apologize for not remembering all of the retailers and prices for these sightings--I received submissions from just about all of my social media channels and it was a little crazy trying to keep track of the details. But as we all know by now, all of these products should be showing up EVERYWHERE quite soon (if you haven't already seen them in your area) so just keep checking in with your usual retailers and be on the lookout.

First up, some new Biore Charcoal products:

If you've been following all of my coverage of the new 2015 products from Physicians Formula (click here for my past posts), then you know there's a lot to be excited about when it comes to new PF goodies! But did you know that PF has also released new products in their Super BB line? I didn't, until reader JC shared the scoop with me yesterday!

JC spotted (and purchased) one of the new Super BB Cheek & Lip Beauty Balms at Bed Bath & Beyond this week and kindly shared some pics and details with us. Take a look!

Thanks so much to reader @arzuinreview on Instagram for this one. @arzuinreview spotted this display at her local Bed Bath & Beyond this week and kindly shared a pic:

Physicians Formula: Five Products, Five Mini Reviews

Press Sample 

A few months ago, I received an assortment of products by Physicians Formula for review. I've been testing these products out for over two months now and, instead of reviewing each one separately, I thought it might be fun to give you an at-a-glance overview of each product all within the same blog post. I was originally going to post this in a few weeks, but I sped things up since Physicians Formula is one of the brands that's 40% off this week at Ulta (and also on sale at Rite Aid and CVS) now through tomorrow (10/4). For more info on those sales, click here.

Spotted: NEW L'Oreal Magic Skin Beautifier Color Correction BB Creams

This post concludes my new-products-from-L'Oreal blitz for today. Thanks for hanging in there with me as I worked my way through all of these new releases!

Do you remember back in February of 2013 when I posted about those color-correcting CC Creams that L'Oreal released in the UK? Well these are NOT them, but they're similar! Check it out:

NEW L'Oreal Magic Skin Beautifier Anti-Fatigue and Anti-Redness BB Creams

(retail: $7.99 each at Bed Bath & Beyond)

Physicians Formula Bronze Booster Glow-Boosting BB Cream SPF 20

So apparently this product first started surfacing in stores back in January, and even though I've covered so many of the new-for-2014 products from Physicians Formula (my favorite to date is the Organic Wear CC Cream--CLICK HERE for my review), I just realized that I have not covered this one! If you haven't seen this Bronze Booster BB Cream yet, reader Elle (@elle8000 on Twitter) kindly shared this pic of it, which she spotted at Meijer:

Physicians Formula Bronze Booster Glow-Boosting BB Cream SPF 20

Available in two shades: Light to Medium and Medium to Dark

(retail: $14.95, 1.2 oz)

NEW Epielle Aqua Tinted BB Cream SPF20 ($2.80 at Big Lots)

If you're new to this blog, you may not be aware of my longtime love for Epielle makeup towelettes. You can find Epielle towelettes at Big Lots and various other discount stores in packets of 30 for $1 and packets of 60 for $1.99 and they come in a variety of different formulas (I love them all!). For me, they're the best and most economical makeup towelettes I've ever used and they're actually a holy grail product for me.

Over the years, Epielle has branched out into other products (face masks, pore strips, etc.) that you can also find at Big Lots and other retailers. But did you know that they now have a BB Cream that is sold at Big Lots? I sure didn't! Many thanks to reader Shannon for this one:

Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream has landed in the US! (UPDATED)

UPDATE: Additional information and photos added to the end of this post.

Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream (which is an acne-treatment BB cream that contains 2% salicylic acid) has been available in both the UK and Australia for a while now, and for some reason I didn't think that Maybelline was going to bring this one over to the states (I try not to get my hopes up about the intriguing Maybelline products that are available in other countries--see Baby Skin Pink Transformer SPF35, available only in Asia, as just one example). But guess what? Dream Pure BB Cream has come to the US!

Thanks to several of you for letting me know that this product is now starting to surface in the permanent display at Walmart--I'm sure it's only a matter of time before you start to see it elsewhere. Longtime reader and photo-contributor Abi, who spotted this display at Walmart this week, was nice enough to share pics--take a look!

Spotted: New Drugstore Beauty Products

Here's a collection of several new-for-2014 nail, body, skin and hair products that I have personally spotted over the past several weeks. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to alert me to any of these products via email, social media and here on the blog!

Oh! Before I forget, I just posted an update to my Sally Hansen Summer 2014 Limited Edition Salon Effects post. There are three additional designs in this collection, in addition to the four designs I originally showed you. Thanks to everyone who took the time to share info about those!

PLEASE NOTE: I understand that some of these products may not be considered brand new to you, and you may have already spotted them in your area (or even own them). But different retailers/regions receive things at different times, so please keep in mind that, for some of us, these are still quite new. Thanks for your understanding!

Review: EcoTools Skin Perfecting Brush for BB/CC Creams

Purchased by Me

I love BB/CC creams and I love EcoTools. So when EcoTools released a brush specifically for BB/CC creams earlier this year, I had to try it. I've been using this brush for a few months now, and I'm ready to give you my verdict!

 NEW EcoTools Skin Perfecting Brush for BB/CC Creams

(with bonus Prep & Prime Brush for Eye Primer and Creams)

(retail: $7.99)

Spotted in the UK: New L'Oreal BB products, foundation and lip colors

In the US, L'Oreal launched their Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream back in 2012 (click here for my review). In February of 2013, I posted a sighting from a lovely UK reader of these L'Oreal Nude Magique CC Creams, BB Creams and BB Blushes. We still haven't gotten those products in the US (that BB Blush looks so cool!), and now I have more new UK releases to share with you today. I really hope these make their way to the US soon. I have no way of knowing if or when we'll get these but, if you're like me, you'll want to see them anyway!

Thanks to reader Tabitha for this sighting--Tabitha spotted these new displays at her local Boots in the UK and shared some pics with us:

NEW L'Oreal Nude Magique BB Blur Cream and Nude Magique BB Concealer

Spotted & Swatched: NEW Rimmel BB Cream Matte SPF15

I'm still not quite over my excitement about the new Rimmel Cheek Stains, Colour Balms, etc. that are now popping up in US drugstores (click here if you missed my post). But there's even more to get excited about if you're a Rimmel fan, and I have lots of pics and info for you today!

The other day on Twitter, reader Lisa of Swatchesandwhatnot mentioned to me that there was a new Rimmel MATTE BB Cream, and I was certainly intrigued. Then, as luck would have it, reader @YaydahDarling on Instagram spotted the new BB Cream Matte at her local Walmart and shared lots of pics (and even swatches). Take a look:

(retail: $6.47 at Walmart, 1.0 oz)

Spotted: NEW L'Oreal Advanced Suncare Silky Sheer BB Face Lotion SPF50+ (and more)

Longtime reader Lisa (@littlemama71 on Instagram) shared with me today a new collection of Silky Sheer suncare items from L'Oreal that she spotted at Shoppers (in Canada) this week. This line is also new to the US but please note that in the US it's under the "Advanced Suncare" umbrella, whereas in Canada (as you'll see in the pics below) this line fall under the "Sublime Sun" umbrella of products.
