Hey Jenn, What’s New?

Of all the seasons, doesn’t spring feel like the time for a little something new? At Bellacara, we’ve most definitely been feeling the need for a little newness! From new brand launches to products that are new to the store, we’ve been focused on bringing you the latest and greatest that beauty has to offer! Check out my list below - you may just find your next favorite product!

Despite the struggles we’ve been facing to obtain stock amidst Laura Mercier’s change of ownership, we were able to get our hands on the newest additions to the Lip Glace collection - and they don’t disappoint! Lip Glace totes all the hydrating and moisturizing benefits of a lip balm but with the high shine of a gloss! You can catch me wearing Melon Sorbet all summer long. 😊

Beautyblender fun fact: The more often you clean your makeup sponge, the longer use you can get out of it! Cleaning your Beautyblender with Blendercleanser after every use slows down product buildup on the inside of the sponge (once too much product buildup occurs, it can’t be removed). So, how long is that little egg good for, you ask? Three to four months. If this has you pondering on when the last time you replaced your makeup sponge was, I have some good news for you! New limited-edition Beautyblenders have just arrived in shades Lilac and Aquamarine!

Londontown has been putting out new colors left and right - so exciting! Their latest launch is the Golden Hour Collection - “inspired by summer in soft focus, capturing the essence of never-ending nights and hazy, quiet mornings.” Upon first glance, they’re gorgeous…  but once you look a little closer, you’ll see how they successfully captured the “Golden Hour” within these polishes. I could say more, but you really just need to see these in person!

I first discovered Blinc's Black Lash Primer while watching a makeup tutorial video on YouTube. After watching the gal’s eyelashes totally transform upon application, I knew we had to have it! I know some people will say, “ah, an extra step,” but hear me when I tell you… it makes the difference! The Black Lash Primer is a one-stop shop for fullness and thickness while utilizing vitamins and nourishing ingredients to moisturize and condition lashes. Although I currently have lash extensions on my top eyelashes, I’ve been using the Black Lash Primer on my bottom lashes in place of mascara, and I love it!

There’s much more newness to be discovered! Swing by during business hours, or shop the entire boutique any time online.
