Too Faced Melted Matte-Tallic Liquified Lipstick Launched Today and I See Two Shades I Must Have

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

Lucky enough the Too Faced Melted Matte-Tallic Liquified Lipstick launched at Ulta.com today and I still haven’t used my 20% Off Ulta coupon and I see at least two shades I must have! See? It pays to wait on using the code!

Let me say I don’t like metallic lipglosses as well know but how gorgeous are Our Lips Are Sealed and Breakup, Makeup? If someone could make a cream, liquid, or powder blush in those shades I’d totally buy them!

Our Lips Are Sealed is a stunning metallic peachy coral that looks even nicer than the NARS Orgasm Full Vinyl Lip Lacquer. Ugh I need it! Breakup, Makeup is a is equally beautiful! It’s a really pretty metallic dusky rose. Looks like it would pair up great with the Stila Beauty Junkie Glitter & Glow Eyeshadow I just reviewed!

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

Becca x Chrissy Teigen Endless Bronze & Glow, Glow Lipgloss, and Glow Body Oil launched today! This is Chrissy’s second collaboration with Becca her first being the Becca X Chrissy Teigen Glow Face Palette that launched last May. Damn has it really been a year since that palette was released? And I still love it so hard to this day which is why I’m quite curious to grab up the Endless Bronze & Glow ($38) which is a limited-edition bronzer and highlighter that contains Sunlit bronzer along with two shades of Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter in Beach Nector and Moonstone. It looks like a perfect swirl, buff, glow, go compact. You know me, I’m not much of a highlighter or bronzer fan but I really enjoy Becca’s Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter and already own a few shades so adding this to my collection is a no brainer.

2 stars out of 5

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Lotion Sunscreen SPF 50 ($9.99) is a new gel broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen that promises a waterproof sun protection with an oil-free formula that won’t clog pores.

The Neutrogena Hydro Boost launched back in 2017 with a selection of hydrating makeup like Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint and Hydro Boost Hydrating Concealer. Around that same time a Hydro Boost Skincare Collection so it was only a matte of time that the brand also added sunscreens the the Hydro Boost Collection.

Most people are comparing this formula to Japanese sunscreens and I sort of get it but I do think the Japanese still have a head up on SPF and this isn’t quite what you’d experience from cult favorites like Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+.

A Trip To Paris Was All It Took To Find Guerlain Shalimar Souffle de Lumiere

5 stars out of 5

Guerlain Shalimar de Lumiere is a new limited edition variation on one of the brand’s most beloved fragrances, Shalimar. Over the the last three years, there have been two different Souffle perfumes I know of one of which was the original Guerlain Souffle de Parfum which was released in a few different bottles since 2014 and one Souffle Intense that launched last year. There are subtle differences with each year this releases in my opinion but nothing that would be terribly noticeable to an untrained nose like my own. However, this year I was quite delighted to hear that Guerlain was going a little lighter with their next Souffle scent that was inspired by jasmine.

You see, as much as I love Shalimar it is a pretty intense floriental and actually when Guerlain goes a little lighter with it! To me the perfect blend of Shalimar comes in the form of Parfum Initial which is a lighter version of the original juice with quite a powdery, sultry variation. I had hopes Shalimar Souffle de Lumiere would be just as light and sexy as that juice.

Finding Guerlain Shalimar Souffle de Lumiere was a little challenging as it wasn’t available in the US when it initially released and still isn’t. I was able to get a bottle several weeks ago on my trip to Paris but I have good news! Guerlain has the updated their US site with a photo and description of Shalimar Souffle de Lumiere which could mean we’ll see this very soon in the US.
