My boyfriend is the cutest boy in the world all due to the fact he wears these black framed hipster glasses that make me think of Buddy Holly (Yeah, I have a type but that’s a story for another day!). He’s truly that geeky tall, slim Clark Kent type. Typically the glasses actually help determine what he is thinking or how he is feeling. They are basically his tell and I make fun of him constantly about it. When he’s happy or excited they lean towards the left in a crooked way. When he’s upset or angry they are firmly on his face in a very “I’m serious now” look. When he’s observing something he does this Ben Franklin thing looking down the frames with his head down making him look like he’s an 80 year old man squinting at the morning newspaper. Two years ago for Christmas he got me a custom chibi framed print with his “Many Faces” that hangs in my home office. I can’t look at it and not smile until my face hurts.

Recently, when I walked out of the bathroom he did his “I’m really, really serious now, no joking around, sh!t is about to get real” look which consists of a head tilt, looking down his frames, and a middle finger push to adjust his frames fully on his face and a squint. After all this he said to me, “Did you do something new to your face?”

Stila Shine Fever Lip Vinyl Review & Swatches

5 stars out of 5

Stila shoots and scores again with the introduce of Shine Fever Lip Vinyl! Stila Shine Fever Lip Vinyl ($24) is a new, permanent range of glossy liquid lipsticks available in 14 shade selections that launched for Spring 2020. Stila Beauty Boss Lip Gloss launched last Spring and at best I thought they’d do some new shades for Spring 2020 but nope, they went all in and launched an entirely different lip product that’s bloody fabulous! I’m happy that Spring is bringing so many shiny lip options because I’m all about doing away with the endless mattes that have been on trend for literally ages now.

Stila really perfected this formula. The pigment it outstanding, the wear is long, and the shine is fabulous! I picked up one shade so far but I’m sure I’ll be back for more.

Here’s my review, swatches, and thoughts on the new Shine Fever Lip Vinyl formula!

Wet n Wild MegaGlo Blushlighter Review & Swatches

3 stars out of 5

Wet n Wild MegaGlo Blushlighter ($6.49) is starting to hit the drugstore scene! I picked up two shades recently at Harmons and was pleasantly surprised to find them there since Wet n Wild, like most brands, has started migrating a lot of their seasonal and new releases onto their website directly. I mean, it can take several weeks or even months before a new item to launch in stores once Wet n Wild launches it on their website! It was nice seeing a few new displays pop up at Harmons.

I picked these up because I do so love a blush highlighter hybrid and Wet n Wild has proved they can do one very well when they launched those awesome Flights of Fancy Color Icon Baked Blushes for Spring 2018.

Wet n Wild launched these in three shade selections and each is a split pan much like those brilliant Becca Champagne Splits Shimmering Skin Perfector Mineral Blush Duos that launched a few years ago (that they really should revisit and relaunch in new shades in my humble opinion). One side holds a shimmering blush and the other side contains a highlighter. You can sweep the two shades together or use them individually to create a pretty glow on your face.

Revlon Spring 2020 Arrives With New Primers and Super Lustrous Melting Glass Shine Lipstick

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Oh happy day Revlon is releasing a shiny lipstick! Revlon Super Lustrous Melting Glass Shine Lipstick arrives today for Spring 2020 and I’m all kinds of excited because I am a big advocate of the “DEATH TO ALL MATTE LIPSTICKS!” campaign! We’ve had a good run lately with shiny drugstore lipsticks with the launch of Maybelline Color Sensational Shine Compulsion Lipstick and L’Oreal Colour Riche Shine Lipstick and I’m happy that trend is continuing into Spring 2020 because I do so love a good shiny lipstick!

I gotta admit just the name alone makes me shiver in happiness! Super Lustrous Melting Glass Shine Lipstick….! Ooo! Melting, glass, shine, yasss! Don’t disappoint here Revlon! These better be shiny AF or I’m going to be upset. The Super Lustrous Lipstick formula is already a really good one. I feel like if they are basing these off that formula and just making things more shinier we might just have a winner on our hands here!

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Bite Beauty Changemaker Supercharged Micellar Foundation, Changemaker Skin-Optimizing Primer, and Changemaker Flexible Coverage Pressed Powder are launching for Spring 2020 at Sephora on January 10th and I don’t know how I feel about this.

Bite Beauty is an incredible brand that creates incredible lipsticks and that’s what they do, that’s it, they create lipsticks! Ok, well, they also create other lip items like masks, scrubs, and even liquid lipsticks and lipstick crayons but there sole reason responsibility in life is to create awesome lip products and nothing else.

Do they really need to get involved with our face?
