Coming (Very) Soon: L.A. Girl Velvet Contour Sticks

You know I just realized that I meant to do a blog post announcing the arrival of the new L.A. Girl Matte Flat Velvet Lipsticks, but I guess it got burying in my ever-growing blog to-do list! Sorry about that, but those new lip colors are definitely now available on the L.A. Girl site HERE, and you can check out my pal Coffee Break with Dani's swatches of several of the shades HERE.

Now, on to the newest release from L.A. Girl:

(UPDATED) Drugstore Dupe Alert: NEW L.A. Girl Glazed Lip Paints

UPDATE: There's a link to swatches at the end of this post!

The other night, my pal Amber of Beauty Junkies Unite gave me the heads-up about this brand new collection from L.A. Girl, and she mentioned that she thought these might be dupes for the Too Faced Melted Liquified Longwear Lipsticks. I am so agreeing with her about that--check it out:

Spotted: L.A. Girl Feather Frenzy Collection

Many thanks to my pal Emi at Project Swatch for this one. Emi spotted the new L.A. Girl Feather Frenzy Collection at Rite Aid this week and was nice enough to share a pic:

NEW L.A. Girl Feather Frenzy Collection

Spotted: NEW L.A. Girl Splatter Collection (bottle shots, swatches and more)

I had the good fortune to receive photos of the new LA Girl Splatter Collection (now popping up at Rite Aid) from three lovely readers. So I've got TONS of photos to show you today!

Unlike many other "splatter" and "grafitti" polishes that often contain a mix of matte hex and bar glitter in a combination of white + another color, none of the polishes in the L.A. Girl Splatter Collection contain bar glitter, and some contain metallic glitter in combination with matte glitter. Also, some of these polishes contain more than just white + 1 color. You'll see that a few contain an extra color or two!

NOTE: For those of you who don't live near a Rite Aid, these polishes are currently 40% off at Cherry Culture (they normally retail for $4 each at Cherry Culture but they're on sale for $2.40 each).

First up,  reader Annabelle spotted this collection at her local Rite Aid and purchased all eight shades. She shared pics, swatches and a comparison with us:

Spotted: L.A. Girl Color Balm Collection

I believe that the L.A. Girl Color Balms (similar to Maybelline Baby Lips, Jordana Sweet n' Smooth Lip Balms, etc.) came out in Spring 2013, but I have yet to see them for sale anywhere but Cherry Culture...until now! Huge thanks to longtime reader KD for this sighting--KD spotted this display at Rite Aid recently:

Spotted: NEW Ombre nail color sets from Wet n Wild and L.A. Girl

First we had the ombre sets from China Glaze, and then the Wet n Wild Wild Shine ombre sets. And just the other day I posted about the e.l.f. set I spotted on the Target website.  But now, thanks to reader Amanda of Pretty Girl Science, I've got pics of two other ombre sets to keep an eye out for at the drugstores! Amanda spotted the L.A. Girl Ombre sets at her local Wegmans (northeast chain):

NEW TEXTURED NAIL POLISH GIVES NAILS UNIQUE SAND FINISH

Introducing Sand Blast Nail Polish by L.A. Girl

(retail: $5 each, 0.47 oz)

ONTARIO, Calif., March 1, 2013 – Textured nail polish has been making big waves this season. On the heels of this new fashion trend, L.A. Girl launches its Sand Blast nail polish collection that gives nails a unique textured appearance. Sand Blast goes on glossy but dries to a distinctive semi-matte finish with the textured look and feel of sand. 

With nails so eye-catching, people will wonder how you got such incredible looking nails. Luckily, this exciting new nail look is so quick and easy to achieve. Just apply two thin coats of Sand Blast polish for a fabulous sugar textured finish. Allow the polish to dry a little in between coats. No need for a top coat. It’s that simple.

Sand Blast Nail Polish comes in 8 one-of-a-kind shades that are so spectacular; you will have to collect them all! In the collection you will find: Quick Sand (matte purple), Sandals (coral), Green Sand (shimmery mint), Glissand (shimmery coral), Sandy Beach (electric blue), Sands of time (glittery gold), Sand Dune (red), and Sandstorm (nude). All colors dry to a semi-matte finish that reflects subtle glints of light.
