4 stars out of 5

Tarte Icy Betch Eye & Cheek Palette ($24) is a new, limited edition aquatic eyeshadow palette that the brand recently launched. You might recall that last year Tarte pulled an April Fool’s Day and said they’d be introducing a Tartelette Icy Betch Eyeshadow Palette which included 12 aquatic shades. People were pretty disappointed this was only a joke! Tarte finally saw the potential behind releasing a palette like this but they waited an entire year and almost to the day they announced that there would be an Icy Betch Eye & Cheek Palette on the way and no, this time it wasn’t a joke!

Sadly, we aren’t getting the Tartelette Icy Betch Eyeshadow Palette they pranked us with which was disappointing for a lot of people as that palette is actually a lot better than the one we did get! Shrug! I guess they might be testing the waters for a palette like this and seeing how their consumers will react to it before actually doing something bigger in size. The Tarte Icy Betch Eye & Cheek Palette we are getting is smaller holding only nine shades instead of twelve and it also includes one highlighter versus the joke palette that contained twelve eyeshadows and no highlighter.

Wet n Wild Rebel Rose Photo Focus Rose Toner Review

3 stars out of 5

Wet n Wild Rebel Rose Photo Focus Rose Toner ($7.99) is a new, limited edition rose-scented toner that launched with the Rebel Rose Spring 2019 Collection a few short weeks ago. Wet n Wild has been really getting into skincare lately with quite a few different launches. I have to admit I don’t like their skincare launches for two reasons because one, many of their skincare launches are limited edition and two, they can be quite expensive. Look at the recent Wet n Wild Expert Level Cleansing Oil I reviewed! It’s $8.99 for 1.52 oz in size! Ouch!

I got the Rebel Rose Photo Focus Rose Toner in the Rebel Rose Full Collection Box. This is the first time I purchased one of these massive vaults from Wet n Wild! It was kind of exciting to get it and open it up to reveal all the pretty items inside. The packaging is an utter waste but I actually kept it and put it on a shelf in my makeup room. At some point I know I’ll remove it all and store it more sensibly but right now I’m just enjoying looking at it!

Shrug!

It’s the little things that make me happy.

NARS Orgasm Liquid Highlighter for Spring 2019

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

NARS Orgasm Liquid Highlighter ($30) and it better have a nicer formula than the Orgasm Illuminating Loose Powder which disappointed me. Really, the formula was fine it was just the color was so wrong on the Illuminating Powder! I hope that the liquid highlighter is truer to the Orgasm shade I know and love!

This is a lightweight fluid version of Orgasm according to the brand! So, that’s good news! Don’t disappoint me here NARS!

This formula makes it easy to mix in with your foundation or moisturizer something that isn’t exactly possible with the powder version. You can, of course, apply it easily on its own as well!

I’m going to purchase it! I’m a big Orgasm fan and I’m hoping for something special!

What do you think of the new NARS Orgasm Liquid Highlighter?

NARS Endless Orgasm Palette Can Be Used On Eyes, Cheeks, and Lips

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

The new NARS Endless Orgasm Palette launched today at sephora.com and I’m terribly excited. As an Orgasm fan, I’m all about checking out this multiuse palette that allows you to use any of the six shades on your eyes, cheeks, and even on your lips!

The limited edition palette features six satin-cream pigments that have a shimmery finish and were created to compliment the Orgasm blush shade.

Shades include:

  • Orgasm Ecstasy (soft beige with gold pearl)
  • Deep Orgasm (metallic mauve)
  • Super Orgasm (iridescent pink with golden shimmer)
  • Double Orgasm (iridescent pink-lilac with silver shimmer)
  • Orgasm Fever (iridescent copper)
  • Orgasm (metallic rose gold)

I hope these aren’t too frosty! I’m looking for some pretty luminous golden coral and peach shades but nothing too metallic or frosty.

The NARS Endless Orgasm Palette is $49 and available now.

Will you be indulging?

Bath & Body Works Protective Hair Perfume Make Your Tresses Smell Pretty

4 stars out of 5

Ahhh Bath & Body Works every always creating something new and exciting. For Spring 2019, Bath & Body Works launched several new Protective Hair Perfume fragrances for $16.50 each. These were created not only to give you hair a delicious little fragrance but they also contain aloe and a UV absorber to protect and soften hair. I have no idea if they work! It hasn’t quite been hot or sunny enough for me to say if my hair feels or looks terribly different using these.

I did buy them solely because I love the idea of hair perfume anything! I tend to migrate towards hair fragrances and perfumes because I have longer hair. And yes, you don’t see that very often on my blog as I tend to wear my hair up and away from my face but when I’m out and about it’s down and I like to have it delicately scented with something or another. My favorite for scenting my hair is using Lush Happy Happy Joy Joy Conditioning Hair Perfume. I can’t tell you how many compliments I get when I wear it. And my BF is always quick to say, “Damn your hair smells amazing!” ;-D

A long time ago, in a land not too far away, Pantene made this incredible hair fragrance. It was sort of a pioneer as the drugstore didn’t actually have hair fragrance way back in the day. Oh hell, no one did! So, really it was pretty damn innovative. So innovative that I hauled many a bottle when they discontinued it. Pantene, if you’re reading this, BRING IT BACK!

Anyway, Bath & Body Works Protective Hair Perfumes are pretty subtle compared to some hair fragrances but they are nice none the less. You can use these on wet or dry hair! I’ve heard that people feel they are sticky but I didn’t experience that at all! They add a touch of hydration to my drier hair and leave it smelling quite pretty. The coconut is probably my favorite as it smells all tropical yum! I purchased these during a sale as I would never pay $16.50 for a single bottle! You can snag them during BOGO offers at Bath & Body Works. I hope they churn out some new scents but this is likely a limited edition deal! Honestly, if they do these in pumpkin or fall scents towards the end of the Summer I’ll buy a case! Ha!

Get these now at Bath & Body Works!

Anyone try ’em?

Do share!
