Taste Beauty Glamspin Causing Outrage on Sephora

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

Yesterday, Sephora had an app exclusive release of the new Taste Beauty Glamspin which caused all sorts of outrage in the review section. You might recall I jokingly dissed the last Taste Beauty release which was the Felicia the Flamingo Lip Balm. Some of you like me felt like these types of kitsch lip balms don’t exactly fit in at Sephora where as others thought the lip balm was adorable and even purchased it.

Honestly, I grew up on lip balms like this. They might have even been a gateway drug of sorts into the world of makeup. I had dozens of different lip balms as a child and to this day I still love cutesy lip balms. But Taste Beauty, well, it’s a little too immature for me.

The recent release of the new Glamspin is $10 bucks and it features three scented lipglosses in strawberry, peach, and grape. It’s shaped like the popular spinners that we are seeing on the market at the moment.

Now, all is well and good with the release but yesterday a lot of users started taking to the review field to express their dislike of this release. Comments about ridiculous the release was started popping up but what really started to outrage Sephora users was the fact that Sephora allegedly started to deleted these so-called “negative reviews”.

NARS Blissful Blush Is One of the More Unique Shades You’ll Run Into

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

The NARS Fall 2017 Collection launched today and with it the new NARS Blissful Blush shade which is probably one of the more unique shades of blush you’ll run into this Fall. I can’t recall the exact conversation I was having with my x-boyfriend but at the time he was trying to tell me something about eggplant. He was Dutch and he kept referencing to eggplant as aubergine. Now Dutch people have a complete grasp on the English language. You’d be hard pressed to visit Amsterdam and find someone that couldn’t talk to you in English. It’s one of the easiest place to navigate in Europe outside of England in my experience. But for some reason he could not find the word for eggplant. We must have been going around in circles for 20 minutes with me trying to figure out what he was referencing by aubergine. Obviously, the fault was completely my own as I didn’t associate aubergine right away with eggplant.

Anyway…

Blissful made me smile and think back to that rather comical Who’s On First? moment we had about aubergine.

But there’s a problem.

Let’s take a look about my review and swatches and find out more about the problem.

E.L.F. Tinted Lip Oil Review & Swatches

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

E.L.F. Cosmetics Tinted Lip Oil ($6) is one of several budget friendly lip oils that have launched in the last year or so. Lip oils somehow feels like it is making a come back this Summer as I keep seeing a slew of drugstore and budget brands launching different formulas. I did notice that the formula has been revised slightly though as where as before brands were launching sheer or clear oils now brands are taking aim at tinted or pigmented formulas.

That’s the case with E.L.F.’s version which is available in five shade selections which give your lips a pop of color as well as nourishing ingredients to sooth and soften lips.

Here’s my review and swatches.
