There are no beauty secrets at xoVain, a bold new beauty site from the editors at xoJane. Here are some of the editors' favorite makeup finds for the season:
Urban Decay De-Slick Mattifying Powder
Marci Robin — I’m always sweating. To keep my face from getting too shiny, I use this powder, which falls on the lavendar side of white (it actually works on all skin tones), to serve as a translucent finish and blotting paper in one.
Kate Somerville Dilo Oil Restorative Treatment
Marci Robin — This is a fantastic multitasker. It makes both skin and hair smoother
without feeling gloppy, and you get to enjoy the fact that it’s made with a rare oil from the
windward side of a fancy Fiji island that you’ll probably never visit.
Mélange Solid Perfume — Amber Notes Palette No. 1
Marci Robin — I like the idea of switching to a warmer scent in the fall, but I’m
indecisive, so this palette is perfect. It’s four solid perfumes — in notes like tobacco, patchouli
and vanilla — that can be worn alone or blended in a number of combinations!
LUSH Coconut Deodorant Powder
Annie Kreighbaum — I don't use this as deodorant, but I found that this product is
AMAZING for my Nike Frees. I just sprinkle a little of this in the shoe, tap it around the sole like
I'm flouring a cake pan, and it keeps my feet from smelling disgusting.
L’Oreal Colour Riche Caresse Aqua Lacquer Lipgloss
Annie Kreighbaum — The applicator is petal-shaped and feels all plush and sexy
against your lips. The pointed end makes for precise application, and the gloss will hang around for
a bit before fading to a moisturized stain that will last all day.
Essie Nail Polish in Midnight Cami
Annie Kreighbaum — This color has been around forever, but when everyone else is
switching to dark red as soon as it drops under 70 degrees, it feels new.
