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!

My pick of the week is Glitter Elixir liquid lipstick! They are super creamy, incredibly opaque, and the colors are beautiful! My favorite is It Puts the Lipstick in the Basket (yes a Silence of the Lambs Reference) and it is a gorgeous deep mauve brown that is stunning. Their glitters are also gorgeous and have the cutest packaging. You can check them out on Etsy as Glitter Elixirs or check out their Instagram @glitterelixirscosmetics

You can get all these on Doseofcolors.com.


My picks of the week are the new Nyx Lingerie liquid lipsticks. At first I wasn't too excited by the line but after trying them I think they are excellent quality for the price of 7.00 each. They are extremely comfortable to wear but still lasted through a meal which is great. My personal favorite is Embellishment, a cool gray mauve. You can buy them on Nyxcosmetics.com and use Welcome25 to get 25% off your order!

They have an amazing price point at 5.00 each and they are also having a Valentine's Day sale where you can get 20% off with the code IGET20!

Jan 6, 2016

News:

Urban Decay is coming out with a new Vice Palette called Vice Reloaded on January 24th on Ulta.com! It looks like a collection of shadows from previous Vice palettes like Mildew, Smog, and Freakshow.

One of my favorite companies Looxi Beauty have debuted their highly anticipated Duochrome highlighters! They also have some new Duochrome shadows as well as shimmer shades as well. Any sold out colors will be restocked as they are permanent. Check them out at LooxiBeauty.com!

My picks of the week are the Shiro Cosmetics Cheekbones Contouring Powders inspired by the gorgeous Benedict Cumberpatch or Sherlock’s amazing cheekbones. My personal favorite is Burn the Heart Out of You which is described as a Matte cool-toned desaturated mauve. It is such a unique contour color that blends out beautifully. The packaging is also beautiful with an illustration of Sherlock himself. They are very affordable at 8.00 each that will last you forever, or 1.50 for samples! Check them out and Shiro’s other amazing products at ShiroCosmetics.com!

Our bonus picks of the week are the Bitter Lace Beauty highlighters! I recently tried a couple of their highlighters in Let it Glow, an icy blue silver highlighter and Sweater Weather a gold sheen. They both had gorgeous imprints pressed into them and were generously sized. They are quite shimmery so if you like more subtle highlighters I would use a light hand. They are 16.00 each and pop right in your Z palettes. You can buy them on bitterlacebeauty.etsy.com

Dec 30, 2015

News:

They also have a new cream contour kit, an ombré lip duo, colored felt tip liners in bold colors like cobalt blue, even a new lipstick line called Full Throttle lipstick.

Anastasia Beverly Hills surprised us all with 2 new highlighting palettes or Glow Kits! They are 40.00 each and include 4 colors. Gleam

With silver packaging looks like the cooler version with creams and pink, That Glow with rose gold packaging is the warmer version. They are limited edition for now and you can get them on AnastasiaBeverlyHills.com.

Colourpop Cosmetics have released their newest collection Where the Night Is, another beautiful collaboration with one of our favorite beauty gurus Kathleen Lights! The collection includes a quad of very unique colors that you can buy as a set or separately, and 2 lipsticks and matching pencils. The colors of the quad are more on the unique side. The standout being Telepathy, a metallic olive gold, and Taurus, a warm brown lipstick with matching liner. You can buy them right now on Colourpop.com!

My pick of the week is the new Too Faced Bon Bon palette! I wanted to resist this palette but once I tried it I fell in love. The pinks are saturated, pigmented and buttery, it smells like chocolate, and the packaging is sturdy and beautiful. If you are a fan of the Too Faced formula and love their Chocolate Bar palettes, you won't be disappointed in this one. Now that Sweet Peach palette needs to come out and I'll be complete!

Dec 14, 2015

News:

Too Faced has us excited again, this time for a Peach inspired palette! The packaging is similar to the new Bon Bons palette, but with peach imprints and a beautiful peach color. The colors are very warm toned with peachy pinks and warm neutrals. Can't wait to find out more about this one as well as the PB&J inspired palette as well! No date yet but we should find out soon!

The legendary Pat McGrath has announced her next product, Phantom002. This time it looks like it will be a set that includes gold, blue, copper, and fuchsia pigments, black eye gloss, black caviar gel liner, and 2 brushes. The set will be 240.00 and will be available on December 15th online at www.patmcgrath.com

Anastasia Beverly Hills are debuting their new Fall single shadows on December 15th on anastasiabeverlyhills.com. There are 15 shades of mattes and metallics in gorgeous jewel tones like Prussia, and intense cobalt blue, and Fudge a matte chocolate brown from their amazing Shadow Couture palette.

-----

My pick of the week is the Wet & Wild Fergie Take on the Day Shadow Primer. Not only affordable at less than 6.00 retail, it is up there with any higher end primer on the market for quality. My shadows last all day until I remove them, and they also are intensified. Those who wear indie pigments know that primer can really make a difference with pigmentation, and I always recommend this primer first for those new to primer. You can buy it any retailer that sells Wet & Wild like Target and CVS!

Dec 8, 2015

News:

The Pantone colors of the year have been announced and are Rose quartz pastel rose, and Serenity a pastel cornflower blue. Sephora is continuing their tradition with a Pantone inspired collection that includes a pastel gloss set, two lipsticks, and a 15 shade palette. They are up on the site as coming soon so if you want to take a look at them! No date yet but should be soon!

Colourpop Cosmetics has just debuted their newest collaboration which I think is pretty special. It is an eyeshadow Puppy Love which is a soft Pearlized pinky beige. All proceeds go to support Best Friends Animal Society and their No Kill effort. If you are an animal lover and love Makeup, it's a win win!

For your liquid lipstick lovers, NYX is coming out with a new line of Lingerie Liquid lipsticks. The colors we have seen so far have been various shades of nudes, and are supposed to be a moussey matte formula. Should be coming 2016!

My pick of the week is Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm spf 25. As the colder weather hits us, the need for more moisture is very important (Not to mention if you are a fan of the drying formula of liquid lipsticks). I have chronically dry lips and this one one of the few balms that I can say actually heals cracked and dry lips. I especially love it as a night lip mask! They are very affordable at 7.50 and you can often find them in holiday sets at Sephora and Ulta.

Mac is debuting their new cushion foundation Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact as well as a new complementing brush online December 17th and in stores on December 26th. Great way to try the Korean Bb Cushion craze by a brand you love!

My pick of the week is the My Pretty Zombie contour duo in Pancakes (a white highlighter with green, blue, and purple sparks) and Do Not Sit Next to Dennis ( a cool toned light gray with purple undertones). They both blend beautifully, and the contour is amazing for creating that shadow in the hollows of your cheeks. The duo is a steal at 15.00 for both. You can get the duo as well as her others amazing blushes and shadows on pretty-zombie.com.

Black Friday is coming!

One of my favorite indie companies My Pretty Zombie is debuting a brand new collection for Black Friday that includes a highlight and contour set, and two blushes! You can also get 33% off your order with the code black15 (excluding shipping and some of her value sets that are already discounted). Her blushes are a cult favorite so if you haven't checked them out yet Thursday the 26th at midnight is the time!

Makeup Geek has announced they will be having a sale as well. Some deals include a Black Friday brush bundle for 40.00, a blush and eyeshadow variety pack for 50.00, and a Super Shimmer palette for 125.00. It would be a great time to stock up on favorites or try them for the first time!

Occ cosmetics are debuting 6 new lip tar colors on Black Friday on occmakeup.com,  Nordstrom.com, and Beautylish.com. The stand out colors being Derelict, a dirty metallic Olive and Stud a matte grey purple. They will be offered in their new doe foot packaging and are limited edition!

We could probably dedicate a whole show to what would be on sale so my best advice is to check your favorite stores social media and check what their sales are and plan accordingly. You can preview some deals on Sephora's app, and Ulta has started their sale already and will continue through the week. If you're on a no buy my best advice to you is to completely stay off social media and forums for a couple days. Have fun and be safe out there!

-----

My picks of the week are the Notoriously Morbid Changeling Top Coats. They are essentially lipstick toppers that add a holographic or duochrome effect to your lipstick. The reason I love them is that unlike a gloss, they will not dramatically change the longevity of your liquid lipsticks. My favorite colors are Leshy, a green duochrome and Siren a blue teal. They are also offering two new colors along with a huge sale on Black Friday so make sure to follow them to get all the info!

Coming November 11th (date subject to change) the new Colourpop Holiday Collection Part 2 Boogie Nights is coming! This collection will includes singles of lippie sticks, shadows, and gel liners!

One of my favorite indie companies Darling Girl cosmetics is having a grand reopening of her new website shopdarlinggirl.com. She will have tons of new goodies like her satiny liquid lipstick Kisus, matte balms, as well as her Pink Friday collection which will bring back some old fan favorites!

My pick of the week is the Lunatick Labs contour palette. It is a gorgeous cool toned contouring palette that goes above and beyond anything palette I've seen so far. It includes shades for every skintone (though I think this is a fair to medium skintones dream). They are pigmented, finely milled, and blend nicely. Make sure to check out their other amazing products like their Mystifying microfinish powder with gorgeous packaging, as well as their lipsticks. If you're not following us on Instagram go check us out @twimakeup and see pictures of this gorgeous palette and so much more!

My pick of the week is Looxi Beauty Cosmetics. I gave you guys a sneak peek of my recent haul from them and I highly recommend them! They have beautiful pigmented shadows in mattes, duochrome, and shimmers. The star of Looxi for me is their incredibly pigmented pressed highlighters. Bombshell is a very close dupe to the popular Champagne Pop and is 15.00 for a full size compact. They also have a brand new gold highlighter la Belle which looks to be an excellent dupe for Mac Whisper of Gilt and Oh Darling. Go check them out!
