4 stars out of 5

Too Faced Peach Lip Scrub ($17) (0.51 oz) is a new peaches and cream-infused exfoliating scrub for your lips that got added to the Too Faced Peaches & Cream Collection which is available exclusively at Sephora. Too Faced added a few new additions to the collection for Fall 2018 and it doesn’t surprise me in the least since 1. the collection was well received and popular when it launched. 2. It’s logical to add more items on with the success the line is having to keep things fresh and new. and 3. Too Faced launched a new Tutti Frutti Collection at Ulta so of course, Sephora has to keep their own fan base interested in their exclusive collection thus new items will get them the attention they want when Ulta is also have their moment in the sun!

It was pretty much a no brainer to pick up the Too Faced Peach Lip Scrub simply because I’m as addicted to lip scrubs as I am to lip balms. It actually a product I use fairly often and I run out of rather quickly simply because I am prone to drier lips. I tend to use a lip scrub two or three times a week to keep my lips nice and smooth. I think most people will find the $17 price tag for this a little much especially when you have a few drugstore options like Chapstick Total Hydration Conditioning Lip Scrub that will do just as good a job. But I typically buy Sara Happ’s Lip Scrubs at $22 for to $24 so, it wasn’t too bad plus the size is rather generous! But yeah, it’s an indulgence!

Too Faced Dew You Full-Coverage Fresh Glow Foundation Review & Swatches

1 stars out of 5

Too Faced Tutti Fruitt Dew You Full-Coverage Fresh Glow Foundation ($36) is a new long-wearing gel-cream foundation that launched with the Too Faced Tutti Frutti Collection with a dewy finish and a watermelon candy fragrance.

Yeah, you read that last part correctly. This stuff smells just like a watermelon Jolly Rancher and I love it! I know, I know the entire sensitive makeup world just cringed in agony. I’m not sensitive to fragrance so this was right up my alley. I thought the scent was delightful! It’s sweet and very true to the hard candy scent of a sweet, slightly tart Watermelon Jolly Rancher.

Sadly, the smell was about the only thing I was impressed with!

The Question is Not To Be Or Not To Be But Do I Need The Summer Fridays Overtime Mask?

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

Summer Fridays Overtime Mask ($44) is a new exfoliating pumpkin mask. WHAT!? Pumpkin? Sign me up! However, I will say my experience with the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask was luxurious but didn’t actually leave me feeling like I needed to repurchase it so the question here would be do I really need the Summer Fridays Overtime Mask!?

Probably not but….! Pumpkin!

They haven’t shared the exactly ingredients but apparently it contains pumpkin enzymes to brighten, apricot seeds to exfoliate, and beta carotene to restore the glow to your skin!

Is it weird I’m all tempted to say it sounds like St Ives Apricot Scrub but with pumpkin? Eep! Sorry Summer Fridays I know you don’t want that visual in anyone’s head!

Do I need this?

Probably not but Summer Fridays Overtime Mask will probably come home with me sooner or later!

What are you currently exfoliating with?

I’m all about Dr Denese Microdermabrasion Cream! Doesn’t dry me out and gives me a nice deep exfoliation!

If You Have $35 Maybe Lancome Can Make You Look Younger and Hello Fall Decor

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

I always feel like I’m looking for the next best thing to keep my skin looking bright, happy, and healthy. Today the Lancome Advanced Génifique Youth Activating Starter Kit ($35) caught my eye at Nordstrom.com and with free shipping why not try it? The set includes two Advanced Genifique Hydrogel Melting Masks. These are hydrogel masks that act to hydrate and smooth skin. I’m a sheet mask junkie so of course, I decided now was a good time as any to give them a whirl. Lancome also included Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate (0.27 oz.) and Advanced Genifique Yeux Youth Activating Eye Cream (0.2 oz.) for the ride.

Worst case scenario the mask doesn’t work and I have a second mask I can run around the house in with a knife Michael Myers style. It is Halloween almost after all right?

Which reminds me…………! I’m off to Chicago next week so this weekend guess what’s happening kids? Fall Decor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t put Halloween up until the end of September but I’m hauling out all my Fall leaves, pumpkins, and pumpkin spice everything mugs. This year my theme for Halloween is Hocus Pocus although, my Halloween costume is Whovian in nature.

So, I already raided Home Goods, Kirkland’s, and the Christmas Tree Store!

And of course, Etsy! Here’s some of my Etsy Fall discovers this year that I’m loving:
