My pick of the week is the new Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette. I have been wearing this for a couple weeks now and it definitely has lived up to the hype for me. The shadows are pigmented, blend well, and have minimal fallout. Not only does this palette have beautiful shades like Love Letter a beautiful raspberry pink which are more vibrant, but the neutral shades like Burnt Sienna are beautiful. The Anastasia palette rarely disappoint me and this might have knocked my favorite Shadow Couture World Traveler down to second place! It is 42.00 and available at several retailers like Sephora.com as well as anastasiabeverlyhills.com.

News:
For those that bought the new Jaclyn Hill and Becca eyeshadow palette that was part of the new Champagne Glow collection I have some interesting news. The reviews for the palette have been quite bad, and apparently Jaclyn Hill and Becca Cosmetics have noticed. So according to Jaclyn Hills Snapchat the palette was not up to par and they are pulling it from stores and production. They will be offering refunds to those not happy with it.
For you fancy ladies and gents out there I have some Christian Louboutin news for you! In July Louboutin will be debuting lip lacquer glosses in the gorgeous packaging we love with mermaid scale tubes. No pricing or dates yet but hopefully we will find out soon!
My pick of the week is the new Black Moon Cosmetics Black Metal Trinity and Myth liquid lipsticks. I was lucky enough to to grab these at PHAMExpo and I'm so glad I did. The Black Metal trinity set includes three brand new shades in Sorrow a deep metallic shades in deep blue, Armageddon deep metallic burgundy reminiscent of OCC’s Black Metal Dahlia, and Immortal and deep purple with blue sparks. It came in beautiful packaging that Black Moon is known for and is 58.00. Myth which is offered outside of the trio is limited edition and is a deep emerald green and is my favorite of the four. If you are loving the metallic lips trend and want a long lasting formula I would definitely recommend these.

News:
Makeup Forever is debuting a new foundation which I have a feeling will be a big hit! It is the Water Blend Face and Body Foundation and is a gel water formulation. There will be 20 shades at launch and will be 43.00. It should be out in the next couple months so keep a look out! The Face and Body foundation is already a cult classic so we’ll see how well this formula works!
MAC is coming out with yet another new collection very soon! The MAC Blue Nectar collection will include lipsticks and Plushglass. There will be some popular limited edition lipsticks coming back like Riot House from the Osbourne collection and Barbeque. It should be up on June 2nd online and June 9th in stores.
In indie news, the new Jeffree Star highlighters and palette that has a huge buzz on social media right now is upon us! There will be four highlighters Mint Condition a light mint, King Tut which is a true gold, Ice Cold which is bright white, and Peach Goddess a peachy pink. They will be 29.00 each in large pans in a pink compact. You can also buy them as a bundle for 100.00. There will also be a brand new eyeshadow palette the Killer Beauty palette, with a mix of neutrals and brights, shimmer and matte for 45.00. They are all vegan and cruelty free. No time yet but they will be released Wednesday May 25th, make sure to follow @jeffreestarcosmetics on Instagram for swatches!
My pick of the week is more of a review of the week because it has been so highly requested, the new Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face palette! This palette is a mix of two highlighters and three highlighters. The highlighters consist of the ever so popular Champagne Pop, and a limited edition color Prosecco which is a more yellow gold version of Champagne Pop. The three blushes Rose Spritz, Amaretto, and Pamplemousse are also quite beautiful. Rose Spritz is the most shimmery of the three and gave a beautiful glow. Amaretto and Pamplemousse were satiny and blended out nice as well. The packaging is stunning, with white and gold and a large mirror. It is 52.00 and I think it is a very fair price for what you get. It feels luxurious and the colors are gorgeous on the skin. It will be available on Sephora.com May 26th 9am pst and in stores June 16th.
Crystal and Forrest meet with the wonderful Jaclyn B., the Director of Education for PHAMExpo.
Let's talk about the wonderful reasons behind why PHAMExpo is important for an aspiring makeup artist. So whether you are an aspiring or working professional makeup artist, come check out this new show!
News:
For those of you that are CoverFX fans I have some awesome news for you! It looks like CoverFX is expanding their drops like to include 6 illuminating and bronzing drops! The illuminating drops can be used to mix with your liquid foundation or as possibly a liquid highlighter, The bronzing drops can be used to darken your foundation in the summer months, contouring, so many possibilities! They should be out sometime in the next couple months. While you're waiting you can check out their new Custom Drop Blots which you can mix with your foundations to make them more matte, and their new sunscreen drops on Sephora.com right now!
Benefit has officially debuted their huge upcoming brow collection that has been years in the making! The exciting part about it is it has something for everyone I think from gel liner for those that are Anastasia dip brow fans and want to try something new to the Precisely, My Brow pencil which looks a little like the also popular Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Whiz or the NYX Microbrow.There will also be a brow primer, 3D Browtones which will give a highlight to your brow, the popular Gimme Brow is back with more colors, and more! You can preview the collection right now on Ulta.com! They should be coming out online June 24th on Ulta.com as well as other retailers and there will be a preorder on June 6th on Hsn.com!
My pick of the week is the new Loreal Glam Bronze bronzers! I didn't think I would find another drugstore bronzer that I loved as much as the Physicians Formula Butter bronzer but I really like these! They come in bright orange packaging and the pans are quite large. I bought the Light and Medium colors. The light was quite cool almost gray which turned out to be an excellent contour on my NW20 skin. The Medium I used to warm up my contour and forehead a bit and I loved the result. They are not matte but on the shimmery side so for those that prefer mattes I might stay away from these. I liked the glow they gave and they are quite pigmented. I bought them at Target for 12.99 each but you can also buy them from Ulta.com as well!
News:
It looks like the new innovation in cosmetics is second skin! The “second skin” was partly created by Massachusetts Institute of Technology or MIT and has the potential to being a groundbreaking discovery in the cosmetics industry as well as many others. It is a flexible compound that goes on like a lotion and then when activated with an ointment smooths out wrinkles and creates an invisible film or second skin. What is cool about this is that not only could it be used in the beauty industry (the primer to end all primers) but can also be used to treat eczema, as well as protect us against sun damage!
If you have been on social media these past few days it would be hard to miss this news. If not, there is a new Jaclyn Hill and Sephora collaboration coming soon! There will be a new face palette or Champagne collection which is in gold packaging and looks like a mix of highlighters and blushes. It may include a new highlighter that Jaclyn has hinted is a sister to the very popular Champagne Pop she helped create. Right now the potential date is May 26th online on Sephora.com and in stores June 16th. That can change so definitely make sure to follow Jaclyn Hill on her Instagram and Snapchat!
The pick of the week is the Bare Minerals Invisible light Translucent Powder Duo. Bare Minerals describes this powder palette as “Two distinct finishes give your complexion an effortlessly fresh-not flat-look.” This palette includes two powders that are great at setting your Makeup. The left side is your more matte formula. It is very soft and finely milled and I use it under the eye area to set my concealer. The right side is a more shimmery powder that are very reminiscent of the Hourglass Ambient powder. I use a fluffy powder brush and use that as my finishing powder as my last step and it gives such a beautiful subtle glow. The palette is 32.00 in black packaging and you can buy it at Sephora.com, Ulta.com, and bareescentuals.com.

News:
As we know some of the most popular collections these past few years have been celebrity brands or collaborations! Rihanna with M.A.C who is also creating her own line now, Kylie Jenners lip kits and there has been some talk of the next big celebrity cosmetics brand, Lionel Richie! The Grammy award winning singer recently filed a trademark for “Hello by Lionel Richie”. He also included copyrights to protect everything under his trademark which will include “cosmetics, face masks, body glitter, bath beads, hair bows, and nail polish” Not sure yet how much Nicole will be involved but it will be interesting to see!
M.A.C will be debuting their newest collection with Chris Chang this week! There will be 14 products including lipsticks, eye shadows, cream colour base, fluidline and pressed powder in limited edition vibrant packaging. So far I have seen very mixed reviews on this collection so swatching them in store might be beneficial for this collection. It should be available online on May 5th at Maccosmetics.com and in stores on May 12th! If you want to check out reviews or swatches first Christine of Temptalia.com has full reviews up!
Our picks of the week are the new Lancôme Juicy Shaker pigment infused Bi-phased lip oils! These are such a nice break from the super matte products that have been all the rage lately. Lancôme describes them as “A perfect cocktail of nourishing oils. The bi-phase lip oil formula combines the comfort of nourishing oils with the revitalizing power of color pigments”. These lip oils contain apricot, peach, sweet almond, rose, and cranberry oils as well as pigment that goes on as a sheer wash. The packaging is what sold me at first, they are beautiful silver tubes that resemble martini shakers that you shake to mix the pigments with the oil. The applicator is also really neat and is a very soft cushion that applies the perfect amount of oil and pigment. There are 20 shades or flavors I like to call them, and range from Freedom of Peach which is a light wash of peach that smells like peaches, to Apri-cute a sheer orange that smells like Apricots. They are really fun to use, have beautiful packaging, are very moisturizing, and are fun for summer! You can buy them for 21.00 each on Sephora.com Ulta.com and Lancôme-USA.com!

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.

Urban Decay has teamed up with Disney and created a bright and trippy limited edition collection to celebrate the new movie Alice Through the Looking Glass coming May 28th!

There will also be 5 limited edition lipsticks for 18.00 with some unique shades like a beautiful metallic navy blue Time. It will be available May 2nd on Sephora.com and Ulta.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!
News:
Jeffree Star has announced the debut date of his new liquid lipstick Scorpio, a gray purple matte. It will be available at 10am pst Saturday April 16th. It will be available on JeffreeStarCosmetics.com as well as Beautylish.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!

The Sephora Spring Sale is almost upon us! Some of you guys are starting to get your emails and love notes in the mail already! The sale will be 15% for VIB Rouge starting April 7th through the 13th. VIB starts April 8th, and Beauty Insiders will have 10% off from the 9th through the 12th.
With the sale coming up I thought I'd mention some things you might want to pick up! On April 12th Kat Von D will have a everlasting liquid lipstick mini duo with the colors Melancholia and Susperia on Sephora.com.
The new Laura Mercier Face Illuminator Powders are available on Sephora right now! There are three new colors Seduction a warm bronze, Devotion a cool pink, and Addiction in gold. They are 44.00 and Come in a sturdy black compact and are in a beautiful wave design.
You can also check out the new Kat Von D quad palettes, a new Benefit Cheekathon blush and bronzer palette, and I am hoping the new Disney Minnie Sephora collection will be up in Time as well!
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!

The new Kat Von D Shade Light quad contour eyeshadow palettes are available at Sephora! The colors are rust, sage, plum, and smoke for 26.00 each. The packaging is the usual sleek black that Kat offers and are quite versatile.
A new collaboration by M.A.C has been announced and this one appeals to my childhood and nerdy side! MAC is celebrating with Star Trek their 50th anniversary and their powerful women with a limited edition collection in the Fall! The packaging has the Star Trek symbol and will have 25 different products including lipgloss and lipstick. Can't wait for this one!
Since it was just Easter my pick of the week is our favorite little egg, the Beauty Blender! I know this is not new to most of you but for those who have not tried it I'd like to tell you why it works for me. Firstly, I tried to avoid buying it believe me. I tried the Soho, Maybelline, Real Techniques, and some random Amazon knockoffs as well. Once I got my Beauty Blender there was no going back. As you guys know I have dry skin due to my anti aging Retin-A regimen and this is the only way I can apply foundation without my skin flaking while still getting the coverage I want. The best way for me is to spray it with fix plus and then dab my foundation in. It is soft and can get in my under eye area and the inner corners of my nose no problem. The holidays are the best times to get these as they always have amazing deals on them during that time. If you are a Costco member there have been sightings of them in store for 14.99! If not you can buy them at places like Sephora, HSN, and Macy's!

My pick of the week is something different today! Today I wanted to review the Swirl and Sparkle solid brush cleansers! They are solid cleaners that you use to clean your brushes! They come in several designs that are absolutely adorable and in different sizes. I dipped my brush in warm water, swirled it around the soap, then I swirled it on the diamond sugar lid which are great for breaking up gunk deep in the brush. I repeated this process once or twice depending on the brush and then rinsed them clean! They come in amazing scents like Rocky Road Brownie, Cherry Mist, and Chocolate Waffle Cone. Check them out at www.SwirlandSparkle.com and follow them on Instagram @swirl.and.sparkle I'll be posting some pics of mine on our Instagram @TWiMakeup

You can also use your Pro discount to get them ever further down in price! No news yet on whether or not this is permanent or a temporary promotion. You can check out the 127 shades on Maccosmetics.com!
The pick of the week is FeatherRiverBody Cosmetics! I got to test some of their shadows and they are beautiful. The ones I tried are in pressed form and are sold in pans that you can pop in your Z palette. My favorite is Caught, a metallic olive gold that is extremely pigmented. Formula wise they remind me of Makeup Geek’s formula which is a firmer but pigmented formula, compared to Kat Von D and Devinah Cosmetics which is a softer, buttery formula. You can buy them from their Etsy store front FeatherRiverBody and check them out on Instagram @featherriverbody They are 6.00 each but you can save 25% on your first order with the code FIRSTORDER25

My pick of the week is the Love Luxe Beauty custom magnetic palette!

They are magnetic so just like the Z palette you can pop any magnetic pan right into them. As for the custom design you can send her almost any image you like and she will work with you on designing it. She also has some cute stock images that will work as well.

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.
