4 stars out of 5

Sunset Fire, Follow the Sun, and Burnished Sienna are three new shades featured in the Stila All Fired Up Glitter & Glow Eyeshadow Set that’s available for Spring 2019. These shades are exclusively available in the All Fired Up Set and not yet available as individual shades but I have hopes Stila will at some point launch them as full-sizes as there are at least two I’d repurchase if they became available as individual shades!

The shades would probably work best as a Summer launch and not so much a Spring one but as a lover of the Glitter & Glow Eyeshadow formula I could careless. I just want more shades! If you make them Stila, I’ll buy them!

Tarte, When All Else Fails Look to Korea for Inspiration!

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

Tarte is busy channeling Korean brand, Labiotte, today with a new Wine Not Lipgloss & Brush Set and Rose is Bae Lipgloss & Brush Set (please stop with these horrible makeup brushes) for Spring 2019.

Tarte, Tarte, Tarte y u do this to yourself? I mean, Labiotte is sort of cute but you guys are trying a little too hard. You see, you might have just had me on the cute wine bottle shaped lipgloss but you KILLED things with the glass shaped brush! Don’t you understand no one likes these brushes!? They are awkward to use and cumbersome to store. Not everyone wants to have a set of brushes that we can take photos of and post on Instagram. We actually want to buy a brush we can like use on our face to apply makeup and stuff. Weren’t the flamingo brushes enough!?

Ok, I’ll stop ranting!

These two new sets do have a Labiotte vibe. If you’re familiar with Labiotte you know they have some rather cute wine bottle and goblet packaging. Seems like Tarte took a little inspiration from them! I think Labiotte does a little bit of a better job though packaging wise. Their version is cute where as Tarte’s feels a little too try hard.

Anyway, these two new Tarte “Wine” themed sets are available now.

Do you think you’d buy them?

Jump ahead for the deets on the sets!

Break Me Off a Piece of that Etude House KitKat Play Color Eyes Mini Eyeshadow Palette

Happy Valentine’s Day (almost)! Time for chocolate and Etude House Kitkat Play Color Eyeshadow Palettes! Etude House teams up with everyone’s favorite chocolate this Valentine’s Day, KitKat, to bring you not one but two chocolate-y inspired eyeshadow palettes.

If you know ANYTHING at all about Asian food culture you know that the best KitKat flavors come from Japan and Korea. Strawberry, Matcha (my favorite!), Cheesecake, Apple Vinegar, Caramel Pudding, Peach, you name it and Japan likely flavored a KitKat with it.

If you happen to have an Hmart in your area you can haul ass over there and grab some great Oreos and KitKat flavors (and other Korean snacks and goodies like Pizza Pretz which I can’t live without).

But I digress! Because if I start talking about Asian snacks I’ll be here all damn day!

Today Etude House launched one of their KitKat Play Color Eyes Mini Eyeshadow Palette that, you guessed it, is shaped like a KitKat and contains six shades that look good enough to break off and eat. This is a warmer, chocolate palette but there’s also another shade selection on the way called White Strawberry Chocolate which is a lighter selection of cooler pinks!

Needless to say I need them both.

See more pictures below! Believe me it’s worth the jump!
