News:


Colourpop’s new Ultra Satin Lip liquid lipsticks with a brand new formula will be out on February 25th! There will be 16 shades ranging from nudes like Magic Wand to a couple unique colors like a lavender called Marshmallow and will be 6.00 each. For those who find their former liquid lipsticks too drying these are supposed to be not as matte and not transfer proof.


The Makeup Geek Mannymua collab has dropped and not without some serious drama. The original announcement was that it was going to be available for preorder at 2pm pst. They released them early around 8am, most likely as a soft opening so not to bog down the server at 2. Unfortunately the word got out and it was next to impossible to check out all day. As a consumer it was very frustrating and I gave up after a few tries. I haven't tried yet this morning so here's hoping the servers are back in order.


My pick of the week is more of a dupe of the week! As you guys know I love the Glitterinjectons pressed glitters. They are gorgeous and unique. Unfortunately everyone else in the world has discovered this and they are consistently sold out! Well fret not! I recently discovered MBA cosmetics now selling pressed glitters and for half the price of 6.00 each! They swatch the same and perform very similar. You can buy them on mbacosmetics.com or on their Etsy store front.

News:

The new Tarte collections are up on Ulta and Sephora to preview! Sephora’s exclusive line Rainforest of the Sea includes new brushes, water foundation, lipsticks, a highlighter palette, an eyeshadow palette, and more. It looks like it will be VIB exclusive at first and available online on February 29th. Ulta’s line Double Duty is also available for preview and includes brushes, mascara, a creamy powder foundation and cheek eye palettes and will be available February 21st.

One of my favorite liquid lipsticks brands Black Moon Cosmetics is coming out with 4 new shades on February 21st. Not only do they have gorgeous packaging but they are very long lasting without being too drying. The four colors are Selene, a plum with a metallic purple sheen, Grim, a cool brown gray, Harvest an orange with a red undertone, and Wrath a pink mauve with brown undertones. They should be available at 12pm pst!

My pick of the week is the new Nyx Cosmetics Strobe Genius palette. As you guys know I am obsessed with highlighters and I can tell you these are definitely a hit. They are buttery, pigmented, and creamy. They remind me a lot of the Becca highlighters that we all love but at an incredible price point. The lavender shade is my absolute favorite, reminding me a bit of the new Becca Pearl but with a bit of a soft lavender tinge. You can buy it from Nyxcosmetics.com or Ulta. I was able to buy it from Ulta with their 3.50 coupon and got it for around 15.00!

News:

For you Makeup Geek and Mannymua fans out there your dream palette is coming! The collaboration palette will debut February 24th and will include 9 shades, 2 of them being foiled, for 45.00. It has it been announced if they are all brand new but it looks like a warm palette with reds, coppers, and warm neutrals. No time yet so make sure to follow Makeupgeek and Mannymua for more details!

Today instead of my usual pick of the week, I am going to do a very quick and requested review of the hyped Kylie Jenner Kylie Cosmetics lip kits. I bought Posie K the first few minutes it debuted on Friday morning and received it Monday so it looks like they really tried to fix their shipping delay problem that the last launch had. The liner was really smooth and creamy and went on very smoothly. The lipstick is a thin, watery formula that went on evenly and opaque in one coat. It does have a very artificial sweet candy smell so for those sensitive to that keep that in mind. It is rub proof and kiss proof, and lasted through a meal with only the inner ring wearing off. The value is hard to tell as that is a personal thing. Sure there are more affordable and comparable liquid lipsticks out there, there are also a lot that are much more and worse quality. It's a solid liquid lipstick that I enjoyed wearing. Hope that helps some of you on the fence!

News:

We finally have a date for the new Too Faced Peanut Butter and Jelly palette! It will be Ulta and Toofaced.com exclusive on February 28th and will be 36.00. It looks like it is a very warm palette with oranges, bronzes, and a beautiful purple/pink color as well. If you want to see it in action, you can go check out the beauty guru Jkissa’s YouTube channel! She just did an awesome review/tutorial with it!

Yes, it's the second week in the row we are discussing Kylie Jenner on the show! Today it's a positive thing, her new Valentine's Day inspired collection! There will be 3 new lip kits with a brand new formula, one a dusty pink and one a red. Unfortunately there is no date and it will supposedly drop unexpectedly within a week or two. I'm not sure yet if that will make the mania better or worse, we will have to wait and see!


My pick of the week is the Nivea Men's Sensitive Aftershave Balm! I know what you're thinking, not her too?! Yes! I jumped onto the craze and it really is that great. I made sure to really rub it in for a couple minutes until it was tacky, and then applied my foundation. It worked just as well as any high end primer I've tried. I personally like it because it helps with my foundation not sticking to my dry spots as it does without a moisturizing base. For those with very sensitive skin the one thing you might need to be wary of is the fragrance in it, as some people are sensitive to those in product. You can get it in the men's shaving section at places like Walmart or Target for around 6.00 for about 3.5 ounces!
