Christian Siriano x E.L.F. Cosmetics Maybe?!

The chances of a Christian Siriano x E.L.F. Cosmetics doing a makeup collaboration together is turning into a possibility for Fall 2017. I mean year’s ago in a galaxy not too far away their was a Christian Siriano Victoria’s Secret Makeup Collection so, why shouldn’t their be an E.L.F. one right?

But maybe it’s just wishful thinking on my part.

Here’s the interesting part….

E.L.F. posted the image above on their Instagram with a giveaway they are currently running. They are sending one lucky winner to Christian’s NYFW show on September 9th. It’s a round trip flight to my lovely city, NYC, with a two night stay. Ok, so does this mean they are somehow teaming up with Christian and doing the makeup for his show? Or are they collaborating with him to create some sort of limited edition makeup collection?

I’d like to think it might just be a makeup collection BUT it could be wishful thinking on my part.

What do you think?

Any chance of a Christian Siriano x E.L.F. Cosmetics collaboration?

Burt’s Bees Blush, Foundation, Eyeshadow and More for Fall 2017

Burt’s Bees Goodness Glows Full Coverage Liquid Makeup, Blush, Eyeshadow Trio Palettes, and other makeup has been added to the brand’s permanent collection for the Fall 2017 season and is now available on their website.

Earlier this month I gave you a heads up about the new Burt’s Box which contains a surprise mix of full-size Burt’s Bees products. I made the rather big assumption that the box likely contained their new blush which I had read about in a magazine recently.

Low and behold today they launched the entirely new Burt’s Bees Makeup Collection for Fall 2017 and yes, I already placed an order so expect reviews soon 🙂

Here’s the details!

Tatcha Allegedly Suing Too Faced Over Lipstick Design

Tatcha is apparently suing Too Faced over the design of their new Peach Kiss Moisture Matte Long Wear Lipstick that’s launching at the end of this month with the Peaches and Cream Collection. I long for the days when makeup and beauty was drama-less! Don’t you?

Apparently, the Peach Kiss Moisture Matte Long Wear Lipstick looks a little too similiar to the packaging Tatcha uses for their Plum Blossom 23-karat Gold Illuminated Lipstick. Both lipsticks appear to come in the same white casing and sport a larger clasp logo emblem at the base of the barrel. If you want to get really technical about things Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Creme has had the same clasp on their lipstick even before Tatcha and Too Faced I believe although, the barrel is shaped differently.

In this case imitation isn’t the best form of flattery because Tatcha is serious about their design so serious in fact they are taking it to court allegedly!

I wonder how this will impact the Peaches and Cream Collection launch which is less than two weeks away! Will the lipsticks be removed from the collection? Or will they release on time?

I’ll be following the news closely and update you as more info becomes available.

What do you think?

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Irish Coffee Buttercream Perfume Oil Review

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Irish Coffee Buttercream Perfume Oil is one of two new coffee scented perfumes that recently launched at the Lab to support Transgender Rights in the Military. Apparently, both oils are part of an upcoming Fall 2017 Collection that will feature more coffee blends but Beth, one of the creative geniuses and minds behind BPAL, decided to launch the oils early and donate proceeds to National Center for Transgender Equality and for the American Civil Liberties Union.

Speaking of coffee perfumes….

Miskatonic University was one of the first perfume oils I purchased from BPAL. Contrary to what the Lab said about it smelling like Irish coffee, dusty tomes and polished oakwood halls I felt for sure it would smell like embalming fluid, fresh rotting flesh, with the rusty tang of blood and faintly of Dr. Herbert West’s cheap cologne. I’ve always pictured dear old Dr. West as smelling like Axl Body Spray, you know a try to hard type of guy. It in fact, ended up smelling just like coffee though. I suppose if you roamed the libraries of Miskatonic University you might just run into the legendary Cthulhu sipping a steaming mug of coffee with a fluffy layer of whipped cream while casually flipping through the Necronomicon. I mean, the Cthulhu wouldn’t be so bad ass if he had a whipped cream mustache right?

I’m mentioning this because if you already own Miskatonic University or you’ve attended any lectures in your imagination (I know I have) you might already be fairly familiar with the scent of Irish Coffee Buttercream as they smell quite a good deal alike.

Lathers n Lights Halloween and Fall 2017

So, it’s too early for Fall and it’s too early for Halloween. That’s what I keep hearing. BUT TO HELL WITH THAT! I’m burning Fall candles, I’m washing my hands with Fall soaps, I’m having a blast over hear celebrating the season before it has a chance to even arrive. Screw it! You know what? When September 1st hits I’m going to start decorating.

K, thanks so much!

It’s weird because I am oddly annoyed when I see Christmas trees pop up at the end of October at Target. I want to rip the displays down with my teeth. I’m all like, “Y U RUSH FALL FOR DAMN YOU!” But when I start seeing Fall decor in the middle of Summer I’m all, “BRING IT!!!!!!!!!”

Today, I noticed that my very favorite e-tailer in all of Internet-land has launched their Halloween and Fall Collection. I wanted to bring this to your attention because they have brilliant Fall scents! I swear they have over 30 fragrances with some sort of pumpkin note alone! Best part? You can pop any of their fragrances into any number of bath, body, and hair care products. They have body scrubs, body lotions, perfumes, shampoo, conditioner, whipped body cream, whipped body soap, you name it and they can take any number of their 100’s of Fall or Halloween fragrances and pop it into the product of your choice.

Pretty sweet right?
