5 stars out of 5

Makeup Revolution I Heart Revolution Peach and Glow Highlighter and Illuminator Duo ($7) is a new blush and highlighter palette that recently launched for Spring 2019 on Ulta’s website (it’s also available on Makeup Revolution’s website with a buy 2, get 1 free promo).

I hauled this for a few reasons. First off, the packaging of course was highly appealing! I admit I own several of I Heart Revolution’s Chocolate Palettes due to the cute design! The melted chocolate bar look definately has a Too Faced vibe and that’s gotten Makeup Revolution into trouble more than a few times. They tend to make copycat quite a few different brands but particularly Too Faced! None the less, I still find the melted chocolate bar compact very cute! I particularly love the peach and white chocolate contrast.

Secondly, this palette reminds me a lot of the Covergirl Peaches and Chocolate Collection that launched last year! I really love that collection and I’m definitely getting the same feels for this one!

And lastly, I’m all about peach blush anything! This totally fits the bill for my peachy blush cravings and the current ones I have for luminous, glowy blushes for Summer looks!

Sephora Favorites Sun Safety Kit for Summer 2019

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

The Sephora Favorites Sun Safety Kit has been revealed for Summer 2019! We’ve all been waiting for this haven’t we? The Sun Safety Kits are always super popular and tend to sell out fast. It’s really a great way to check out a few different sunscreen options without committing to a full-size. I always struggle when new SPFs are introduced as formulas can be tricky and I’m utterly spoiled by Japanese sunscreens. I always end up checking out Sephora Favorites Sun Safety Kit to see if I find any new, appealing formulas!

This year’s version contains the following items:

  • Coola Sun Silk Drops SPF 30 (0.16 oz)
  • Coola SPF 30 70%+ Organic Makeup Setting Spray (0.34 oz)
  • Dr Dennis Gross Dark Spot Sun Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Sunscreen (0.25 oz)
  • Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30 (0.17 oz)
  • Drunk Elephant Umbra Tinte Physical Daily Defense Broad Spectrum Sunscreen (0.5 oz)
  • Fresh Sugar Rosé Tinted Lip Treatment Sunscreen SPF 15 (0.07 oz)
  • Lancome UV Expert Aquagel Defense 50 Sunscreen (0.33 oz)
  • Murad Invisiblur Perfecting Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 30 PA+++ (0.17 oz)
  • Origins A Perfect World SPF 40 Age-Defense Moisturizer with White Tea (0.17 oz)
  • Peter Thomas Roth Max Sheer All Day Moisture Defense Lotion (0.5 oz)
  • Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ Water Resistant (80 Minutes) (0.23 oz)
  • Supergoop! Superscreen Daily Moisturizer SPF 40 PA+++ (0.5 oz)

Lancome L’Absolu Mademoiselle Shine Lipstick is Looking Quite Like Maybelline Color Sensational Shine Compulsion Lipstick

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

Lancome L’Absolu Mademoiselle Shine Lipstick ($30) arrive just in time for Summer 2019 in ten shiny, juicy shades. I’m all about shiny lipstick! Obsessed with them actually! Two years ago, L’Oreal introduced Colour Riche Shine Lipstick and considering Lancome is their sister brand you have to wonder how the formulas compare. I know the price is vastly different ($30 compared to $8 bucks!).

But most important how much does Lancome L’Absolu Mademoiselle Shine Lipstick look like Maybelline Color Sensational Shine Compulsion Lipstick? Same metallic pink packaging! I still want to try Lancome’s version!

What I find interesting about L’Absolu Mademoiselle Shine Lipstick is the fact they call it a “balmy” hydrating lipstick with a shiny finish. The balmy texture contains rose oils and prolyxane to condition and hydrate lips. How balmy though? I like a shiny, slippery sort of finish! How about you?

I’ve lost since been a fan of shiny lip particularly lipstick formulas versus gloss. I’m happy to see that mattes are sort of being pushed to the background lately in favor of lighter, shinier lip formulas. I hope that this trend continues into Summer 2019.

I’ll be picking one or two of these up!

Lancome L’Absolu Mademoiselle Shine Lipstick are available now!

Chanel Les Beiges Natural Eyeshadow Palette Might Be Another Nude Eyeshadow Palette But It’s a Gorgeous One!

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

Chanel Les Beiges Natural Eyeshadow Collection ($70) is a new, limited edition nude eyeshadow palette that contains nine rich shades of color for eyes. Yes, it’s another brown/nude eyeshadow palette but wow, it’s stunning!

I know, I know! You’re likely tired of neutral shades by now but this palette really has an intense, rich assortment of shades that pushes you into the buying zone. There are a total of nine shades here that are matte and shimmer in finish.

The palette is limited edition so, if you want it I wouldn’t hesitate. It does shop free from nordstrom.com. It’s currently in my cart literally yelling at me to buy it haha!

Chanel Les Beiges Natural Eyeshadow Palette might be coming home with me on this sunny Monday morning!

P.S. Happy Belated Easter! I sure hope the Easter bunny was good to you! Mine was pissed off at me but I still managed to finish off one too many mini bags of Cadbury Mini Eggs! Did you know they have shimmer ones now too? I’m in heaven!
