We talk about food and makeup, the importance of trying indie makeup companies, and what it takes to be a professional wedding makeup artist. 

News:

Tarte Cosmetics have debuted quite a few new products that you might be interested in. A limited edition Kiss and Blush cream cheek and lip palette for 42.00, a new concealer, Amazonian clay highlighter Exposed for 28.00, three new Amazonian clay nude blushes, as well as their new collaboration collection with Grayeyardgirl and more. You can check all of them out on tartecosmetics.com. Another product to check out from Tarte is the upcoming collaboration with social media beauty guru MakeupbyShayla with a new contour palette in deeper skintone shades. That should be up on June 19th so watch out for that as well!

For you Indie fans Lunatick Cosmetic Labs has just rereleased their beautiful Relic palette this week! It is a collection of five neutrals in warm tones and in their signature coffin packaging. As you guys know I am in love with their HD powder as well as their contour palette so I'm excited to try this. The palette is 35.00 and you can check it out on Lunaticklabs.com!

My pick of the week is Notoriously Morbid and their Mystic Matte liquid lipsticks. I've had Notoriously Morbid as my pick of the week before with their amazing Duochrome lipstick changelings that makes any lipstick into a metallic Duochrome. I recently picked up some of their new liquid lipstick colors, one of them being Ethereal which is a gorgeous rose gold metallic matte that lasted through two meals. Another cool thing is that they brought back their duos. For 8.00 you get to choose two mini liquid lipsticks of your choice in mini sizes. It's a really nice way to try them or if you are like me and have to many as it is and need smaller sizes. You can check them out on notoriouslymorbid.com.

News:

 

Colourpop has done it again, this time in the form of brow products! They are coming out with a brand new line brow pencils for 5.00 and creme gel for 6.00 (think Anastasia brow whiz and dip brow). They are waterproof and contain vitamin E, are vegan, and there 8 shades in each collections. They are supposed to debut March 10th on Colourpop.com so keep a look out!

 

The new MAC Charlotte Olympia collection will debut online March 17th on MacCosmetics.com and select store on March 24th. The packaging is special edition with clear lipstick bullets, gold trim, and spiderweb details throughout the collection. The collection is quite a large range from lipsticks, blot paper, a makeup bag, mirror compact, and more! This looks like it will be a very popular collection which means it has a higher chance of selling out fast, so make sure to stalk early!

 

Urban Decay has previewed their summer collection and it is gorgeous! It will include 3 highlighters, 2 matte bronzes in beautiful compacts with palm tree prints, concealers, Naked Skin One & Done that has spf 20, and new eyeliners! There is no official date yet but it should be in the next couple months!

News:

Too Faced is coming out with a waterproof version of their very popular mascara, Better Than Sex. The packaging will be different, a metallic blue with water droplets. It will be debuting early 2016!

The Kylie Lip Kit restock came and went within a minute last week! At this point there looks to be no exact date for a restock but they are supposed to be permanent.

My picks of the week are the new Glitter Injections pressed glitter pans, perfect for the holidays! They are pigmented, packed glitter that you can buy as pans. One swipe on the pan and you can cover the lid, with next to no fall out. These do not need adhesive, which is great for those that don't like that extra step. You can check them out at Glitterinjections.com for 10.00 each. They are restocking their sold out colors the beginning of next year, and are permanent! You can also use the code December15 through the 25th to get an extra 15% off your orders of 45.00 and more. Happy Holiday shopping!

News

The new Tarte Cosmetics collection is starting to pop up in stores! The

Tartelette 2 palette In Bloom is on Ulta.com as well as Tartecosmetics.com for 45.00. The brush and Tarteist contour palette is available on Tarte as well as Sephora.com.

For you Tom Ford fans waiting for the Lips and Boys collection which will include 50 lipsticks named after men in Tom Fords life, you can get the whole set now on saks.com for 1950.00. You can also buy them individually starting November 23rd.

A lot of you have been asking when the new Too Faced Bon Bon palette and Melted Chocolate lipsticks will be available and we have a more concrete date, December 8th!

My picks of the week are budget friendly, Elf cosmetics new brushes, the Sculpting Face Brush, e.l.f blending brush, and e.l.f Selfie Ready Foundation Brush. They are a very affordable 6.00 each but rival brushes from other brands at much higher price points. Incredibly soft, perfect for blending and contouring, they are an incredible value.
