Clarionic and NYX have teamed up to bring a new kit to your skincare world which includes a limited edition Hot Pink Radiance Brush Head which also doubles up as a lip scrub brush.

Say what?

Ok, so I own the Radiance Brush Head and its claim to fame is it eases dullness while removing excess oil. Obviously, I am oil-free (HELLO dry skin!) but the promise of easing my dullness skin was to great to pass up. I use it regularly and I like it well enough but I’m not really sure it eases dullness. On that note, I will say the bristles are quite soft but soft enough for my lips? I dunno.

This new Clarisonic Infinitely Better Lips Kit ($29) is cute and actually prices right but sort of gimmicky too. First off it’s $29 and it includes a limited edition brush head as well as an NYX Epic Ink Lip Dye in Slay along with a 1 oz Refreshing Gel Cleanser. Brush heads are typically $27 each so for an extra two bucks you get the full-size lipstick as well as a deluxe sized cleanser. Cool.

But they market it as a brush that’s gentle enough for lips which I’m a little iffy about. The brush head might be gentle for your lips but the actual rotation of it is quite fast so, I’m not sure how well it would do on my lips. It might be a bit harsh for that area. The addition of the Refreshing Gel Cleanser is a little confusing as it doesn’t quite go along with the marketing of the overall kit which is lip themed. I’d likely be way more impressed if they created a new lip scrub to go along with the brush head.

Will I try using it on my lips? Yeah, I’d probably dry it with a new brush head (I wouldn’t want to use the one I use on my face on my lips as well) but I’m not convinced it’ll be a gentle way to exfoliate my chapped, dry lips.

What do you think?

The Becca Bright Eyes Collection launched today with the new Anti-Fatigue Under Eye Primer, Under Eye Brightening Setting Powder, and a new shade of Under Eye Brightening Corrector. As you likely already guessed, I jumped on this collection even though I have reservations about some of the items in it. But you know me, anything and everything that promises to make my tired eyes look awake and happy I’m all about trying.

I have tried and reviewed Under Eye Brightening Corrector in the past and I hated it. This has a radiant finish and I felt like it put a big giant spotlight on my puffiness. I actually gave it away after trying it a mere few times. Since that time the person I gave it to raves it to the moon and back. And many, many of you have told me how much you adore it. Today, Becca launched it in a new medium to dark which is recommended of medium to dark skin tones. I actually felt the original shade was quite light for me but I decided to give the medium a try and see if it has more peach to it which could potentially neutralize some of the darkness under my eyes. I’m not expecting to like it in all honesty but I’m still quite curious to see it in person and retry it because maybe I missed something the first time around.

Another item they launched that I have doubts about but I still purchased was the new Becca Under Eye Brightening Setting Powder ($25). Just a few days ago I was discussing how much I liked banana shaded powders when the new Milani Make It Last Setting Powder launched. Why am I having doubts? Because I used Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Under Eye Powder a very long time ago and it was essential a silica powder! Nothing more, nothing less. I’ve learned that I dislike the texture of such a powder under my eyes and I also learned that it creates a white cast no matter how little you use. Yellow or peach works much better for me.

If you look at Becca’s ingredients you will see the first three ingredients are talc, silica, and dimethicone. That means it likely has a slippery, silicone texture. I purchased it anyway because maybe Becca did something groundbreaking with the powder that will make it some sort of holy grail product for me. But I have my doubts in reality rather than give Becca $25 for 0.09 oz of product you can get transparent powder from any number of brands like NYX which contains a huge amount of silica powder for as little as $7 to $8 or less.

It’s been a very long, long time since we touched on the Beauty Most Unusual category and today I have the perfect excuse to do a post in this beloved section of my blog but first a little about me.

I don’t drink. I’m not a wine person or a beer one or even a hard liquor one. I’ve been drunk maybe two times in my life one time it was actually unintentional as I didn’t realize the amount I was drinking and it made me quite loopy. Yeah, loopy that’s a good word for what happens when I get drunk. I’m the type of person that does silly stuff like wanting to remove my clothes and run around naked when my wits aren’t about me.

That’s why I could possibly see something like what you see below happening to me if I was drunk. Because I’m a silly drunk and I have this odd feeling something like the below photo would likely happen to me on a dare.
