One of the most buzzed about collections this year have been from the amazing Pat McGrath and her innovative line of cosmetics. Her newest kits or Skin Fetish kits will be out very soon! They will be 72.00 and will include a pigment, a stick highlight and balm duo, and a buffer brush. They will be available in the colors Nude and Fine Gold. They should be available on April 26th 9am pst on Patmcgrath.com They will also be available May 2nd for VIB Rouge on Sephora.com and May 10th for everyone!
Another huge MAC limited edition collection is also coming this week, the Brooke Candy part 2 collection! It is limited edition with beautiful silver and black splatter packaging and includes liquid eyeliner, lashes, eye gloss, lipstick and lip pencils, lip gloss, bronzing powder, and nail lacquers. It will be available online on maccosmetics.com April 28th and I stores May 5th.
My pick of the week is the Benefit Cheekathon Palette! I know this has been a popular palette but I had to share why I love it so much. Usually I feel palettes like this at Christmas time are the ones that sell out, and I'm not sure why this hasn't yet. For 58.00 you get 5 of Benefits full size blushes and bronzers as well as a brush! For those that are fans of Hoola or have been wanting to try it or their blushes this is a great option. Dandelion is probably one of my favorite blushes of all time on my NW20 skin, it is such a beautiful soft pink that blends amazing. Rocketeur is also such a gorgeous blush topper that I probably would have never bought alone but am so glad it's in the set. It also comes with Coralista, a peachy coral blush that is a 4.2 out of 5 on Makeupalley, and Dallas a dusty rose which is 4.3 rating. You can buy it from benefitcosmetics.com, Ulta.com, Sephora.com, and Macy's.com.

My picks of the week are the Urban Decay Afterglow 8 Hour Powder Highlighters! As you guys know already know I'm obsessed with highlighters and have quite a few at this point, so it's pretty hard to impress me. These were such a pleasant surprise! They advertise them as lasting 8 hours and they lasted longer than that on me with no setting spray. The formula is buttery and smooth. Aura, a light cool pink is beautiful on my Nw20 skin and is my favorite of the three. Sin, a champagne gold goes on like a dream and to give it that metallic look, you can apply it wet! Fireball is also beautiful as a blush topper for me, changing from light pink to a copper. They come in sleek silver compacts and are 26.00. You can buy them from ulta.com Sephora.com and urbandecay.com!

For you Hourglass Ambient fans you might be excited for this! New primers called Ambient Light Correcting Primer will be coming out soon! They are oil free and advertised as primer that neutralizes, brightens, and softens light giving a subtle glow. They will be 44.00 and available in three formulas; Luminous Light, Dim Light, and Mood Light. I am a big fan of their ambient powders so I can't wait to try these. They will be available on Sephora.com and are up for preorder on Barneys.com right now.
M.A.C has just announced the first product in their new Selena line coming later this year! The first preview is a red lipstick with purple packaging designed with the Selena signature on the tube called Como La Flor. The collection is a collaboration with Selena's sister, Suzette Quintanilla who said this about creating this collection. "I wanted the colours to be about her personally, what she wore on and offstage," M.A.C announced it will be coming in October!
My pick of the week is the Benefit Dandelion Dew Liquid blush. Benefit describes this blush as A “sheer, baby-pink blush gives cheeks a dewy, delicate pink glow. Its lighter-than-air liquid texture melts in for a natural blush look that’s so soft and radiant…you’ll look lit from within.” I think their description is pretty spot on! I am an NW20 and this blush is beautiful on my fair skin. I applied a small dot on each cheek and blended out with the Beauty Blender and it gave a beautiful glowing from within pink, matte flush. I would recommend this blush for fair to light skin tones. I have seen some reviews from those that consider themselves medium and it worked for them as well so you might want to give it a try. It is 28.00 for 1 oz. in beautiful packaging and is available on Benefitcosmetics.com , Ulta, Sephora, HSN, and BirchBox.com!

My pick of the week is the Burts Bees Argan and coconut oil cleanser. This oil makeup remover is amazing at taking off a full face of makeup at night. I know when I first heard of using oil on my face I thought of clogged pores but once I added argan oil in my regimen I never looked back! You pump once or twice, then massage the oil on your dry face. The makeup starts breaking up right away. After massaging for a few minutes I add warm water and massage more, then rinse. I cleanse again with the Neutrogena sensitive cleanser afterward because I double cleanse, but I have seen a lot of people say you don't have to. You can get this cleanser at Target, Burtsbees.com, and at Ulta!
