The beauty world is way too awesome right now! So much so, that I want to make a beeline for the nearest beauty counter and snap up one of everything. Tell me I'm not the only one who gets a secret thrill from seeing new beauty products just waiting to be tried out? Oh! Sends a shiver up my spine just thinking about it. 

To get you going, I have 5 new products that were recently or are soon to be released that I think you're going to want to get your hands on. I don't know about you gals, but I can't wait to see these all lined up on my battle station (a.k.a. vanity). Brand new and ready to be tried out. 

And, as always, I apologize to your wallets. 

 
1. Clarins Double Serum Hydric + Lipidic System Complete Age Control Concentrate (C$85.00, available Feb 2013 at Murale): Clarins' new double serum reactivates the skins five vital functions: hydration, nutrition, oxygenation, protection and regeneration to give a more youthful and radiant appearance. 

2. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind The Lifter Foundation (C$16.99): This foundation and primer combo aims to provide a flawless finish while helping to fight fine lines, wrinkles and reduce loss of elasticity. 

3. Philosophy Miracle Worker Miraculous Anti-Aging Lactic Acid Cleanser & Mask (C$45.00): The lactic and amino acid complex in this cleanser/mask helps to brighten and even skin tone. It will also buffer the look of fine lines and wrinkles while removing dirt and makeup.

5. Hard Candy Shadowholic 12 HR Waterproof Eye Crayon (C$4.98): A personal favourite, this eyeshadow crayon glides on smoothly, is long lasting and is the perfect shade for a basic, everyday look.
