Elensilia Intensive Bio Essence 90.12% Galactomyces for Essence n00bs!

Elensilia Intensive Bio Essence 90.12% Galactomyces is an ideal pick for essence n00bs! Choosing the right essence for your skin type can be rather intimidating. Most long time users of essence are going to recommend you jump right into the deep end of the pool and this typically involves recommendations for most of Japan’s most popular essence, Hada Labo Premium Hyaluronic Acid. Or they recommend something with a thicker, gel-like consistency such as Sana Hadanomy Aqua Placenta.

I know I’m one to recommend Hada Labo but I think it can be a weird experience for someone that’s new to the world of essence and might even potentially turn off the users because it is a stickier formula and not everyone understands the proper way to use it especially those new to the world of essence. Where as other formula can be thicker and equally strange to users of the average, everyday American-style toner.

There’s where Elensilia Intensive Bio Essence 90.12% Galactomyces comes into play!

Urban Decay Naked Skin Shapeshifter Ensures the Health of Contouring

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

The new Urban Decay Naked Skin Shapeshifter Palette ensures the health of contouring is alive and kicking. Unicorn everything aside, everyone is still very obsessed with contouring themselves because we all want to have a jawline for days. Or at least some of us do. I’m ok with my chubby little face. We don’t want me getting too near a contouring palette because a hot mess will only be the start of things. My contouring game is as bad as my highlighting one!

Urban Decay Naked Skin Shapeshifter Palettes will give you contouring, color correcting, and highlighters in one easy spot. It looks like each palette has a double tier with five cream correctors and concealers located on one level and four contouring and highlighting palettes located on the second level.

See pics below!

Bobbi Brown Summer 2017 Illuminating Bronzing Powder

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

Take a gander at the new Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzer Powder for Summer 2017. These limited-edition pearl-infused pressed powders give a soft kiss of color and warmth to skin with a shimmering finish. Most people might already own these as they are available as permanent fixtures in Bobbi’s makeup collection but for Summer 2017 they get a packaging revamp. As you can see the new packaging has a Bobbi Brown emblem embossment on the powder and the normal flat compact is a chunkier one.

These are actually a great way to experiment with adding a touch of warm luminous color to face and cheeks without fully embracing bronzer mode. I already have Maui and Antigua in the original packaging but Santa Barbara is tempting me!

The limited-edition packaging is available in the following shades:

  • Maui
  • Antigua
  • Santa Barbara

You get them now at Nordstrom.com.

MAC Will Be at Ulta May 7th

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

As you know MAC is going to be launching at Ulta this Spring. Ulta.com has a slew of products already listed with a date set for May 7th. No word on when it’ll hit stores but I imagine around the same time.

I noticed they had a listing for the newest Extra Dimension Blush shades as well. I wonder if they’ll be getting seasonal and limited edition collections as they release or if they’ll stick to carrying MAC’s core collection only?!

Either way, it’s very exciting to see MAC hit a more mainstream location. This means you can use your Ulta Rewards points not to mention the 20% off discounts, etc…!

Yay!

I’m very impressed with Ulta lately. They have been working hard to introduce a lot of new, prestigious brands to their regular line up like MAC and NARS.

What do you think about MAC at Ulta?

Do share!

P.S. Has anyone tried Starbucks Unicorn Frap yet? My friend got one a few days ago but I wasn’t even remotely tempted to take a sip. I’m really not big on too sweet drinks (my friend Jay says it all on Instagram). Apparently, it’s a nightmare for baristas to make. I was reading an article on Reuters about that quoted barista’s about what a nightmare it was to make. I mean it’s Starbucks, I picture everything being a pain in the a$$ to make. Imagine cocktailing coffee drinks all day? That has to be the most stressful job in the universe because people take coffee so damn serious if you get it wrong they are likely screaming at you about it.

I starting to hate the unicorn trend more than the highlighting and contouring one haha…!
