Post New Year’s is never fun. The holiday season is over, the vacations have ended, and (in the case of NY) it’s bitter cold. But the upside is that all the spring beauty releases begin popping up making it easier to get through the January lull. Here is a look at 4 new and upcoming makeup and skincare launches that have caught my eye.

Armani Eye Tints

I mean, hello?! Would you look at all those beautiful colors? It’s been a while (and I mean a long while) since I have purchased any Armani eye shadows. Nothing has really moved me from the collection in quite some time, except for their Rouge Ecstasy Lipsticks which were launched last year. But as soon as I saw these liquid eye shadows pop up online, I knew I would have to try them. They have quite a high shimmer content, which is normally not my thing, but they can be sheered out to be more wearable for the day. And the fact that there is a great mix of bright colors along with neutral shades makes these an absolute must buy for me. Available at Nordstrom for $38.00.

Perricone Blue Plasma Cleansing Treatment

In case you are new around here, let me catch up you up. I LIVE for Perricone MD’s Blue Plasma. It is a non-acidic daily peel that gives my skin all the great benefits of a regular peel but without any of those harsh side effects (peeling, redness, irritation â€“ yuck). So naturally when I began to see rumors of a possible Blue Plasma cleanser â€“ I was waiting with bated breath. It has officially launched and sounds amazing! It helps to remove skin impurities with stripping the skin, purify pores and preserve hydration. Annnnnnnd it’s great for all skin types even sensitive. Available at Sephora for $39.00.

Benefit Puff Off!

I have a confession â€“ I want to try this product simply because of the buzz. No other reason. I have seen bloggers and makeup lovers raving about this product and I want in. I do struggle with puffy eyes (mainly because I am a restless sleeper and always end up sleeping on my face â€“ I know, the worst), and that applicator seems so inviting that I just want to put it on my eyes now! Benefit actually describes it as a custom “ironingâ€ tip which is genius. Um, yes I want to iron under my eyes until they are smooth and line free. LOL Clearly their marketing is working â€“ on me that is. Available at Sephora for $29.00.

Hourglass Modernist Eye Palettes

I’ve never met an Hourglass product that I don’t love, so of course I am already obsessed with these Hourglass Modernist Eye Palettes and they literally just launched. Between the color range, the aesthetic of the palette and the fact that texture is incredibly smooth and buttery feeling, makes these a must have new spring launch. I had the opportunity to preview these at an Hourglass event the other night so I can confirm that these are swoon-worthy and necessary for your makeup collection. Available at Sephora for $58.00.
