Hi Loves! Sonia Kashuk has recently launched her Fall 2014 collection in Target stores, yay!! I've always adored Sonia Kashuk's beauty products so I was super excited. I picked up 2 products out of the collection, the "Lustrous Shine Lip Crayon" ($8.99 CAD) & "Chic Defining Contour Stick" ($10.99 CAD).
Claims:
Lustrous Shine Lip Crayon- This luscious lip formula does it all, delivering high-impact color, ultimate shine and the comfort of a balm in one convenient twist-up crayon. The moisturizing color keeps lips smooth and supple, contains Myrrh Resin Extract for a plumping effect and broad spectrum filters to protect from UVA and UVB rays.
Chic Defining Contour Stick- Sculpt chiseled, flawless facial features with this easy-to-use contour stick. Infused with African Walnut Seed Oil, an antioxidant that is rich in fatty acids and proteins, and Pistachio Butter to moisturize and soften skin, this lightweight formula melts into the skin and blends effortlessly. The Chic Defining Contour Stick instantly creates defined, picture perfect cheeks.
Sonia Kashuk is well known for her matte black packaging. The Lustrous Shine Lip Crayon has a swatch of the shade as well on the bottom. In my opinion, the swatch on the outside packaging is definitely not 1:1 with the product inside. I love that it is retractable, easy!
I picked up "Dahlia" which is a beautiful deep berry shade, perfect for Fall/Winter!
Hands down THE BEST lip crayon in the drugstores! It glides on my lips so effortlessly & smoothly with the most beautiful pigmentation to it. I love how it feels incredibly hydrating on my lips as well!
Love the pointed tip! Great for when you want to define your cupids bow or getting into the outter corners of your lips.
Swatched. Top-bottom, 1-3 layers. You can definitely build up the intensity! The lasting power is like a regular lipstick, it will come off if you eat or drink and does not leave a stain on my lips when removed with a tissue. I highly recommend you guys check Sonia Kashuk's Lustrous Shine Lip Crayons out, it's amazing!!
Next up, I picked up her Chic Defining Contour Stick because I never seen anything like this in the drugstores before!
This contour stick is also amazing as well! At first, I thought it might be too orange for my complexion but I was pleasantly surprised it wasn't when I applied it.
It glides on my face so smoothly & effortlessly. Right away, the pigmentation was out of this world! A little does go a long way and a light hand is needed as well if you don't want it too dramatic. I blend it out with my clean fingers but you can definitely use a brush as well. This bronzer blends beautifully & it just melts into your skin!
I use this on the hollows of my cheeks, along my jawline, temples & forehead. I do not however recommend you use this on the sides of your nose. I tried it and the product is too warm & it looks really obvious. I love how it makes my skin looks sun kissed & naturally bronzed! It is quite hydrating and perfect for the upcoming cold Fall/Winter months.
The bronzer lasted on my face all day long without fading. If you wanted to touch up during the evening to go out, you can definitely do so. It will not cake or blotch, love!
I really want to get my hands on Sonia Kashuk's Facial Oil in her Fall 2014 collection as well. I haven't had any luck on finding it yet! Let me know if you are planning to pick up any of her Fall goodies. I hope this review was helpful to you & as always thank you so much for reading!
Love, Linda
