Pretty Vulgar Cosmetics launches next month at Sephora (Update: Available today at Sephora.com) and you can start belting the solo to Queen’s Killer Queen should you like! “She’s a Killer Queen, Gunpowder, gelatine! Dynamite with a laser beam! Guaranteed to blow your mind!

Not a lot is known as of yet about Pretty Vulgar but it’s makeup collection with contrast, just like caviar and cigarettes or in this case whiskey delicate sipped from a tea cup as the brand itself tweeted recently.

It looks like Pretty Vulgar will bring together edge-y makeup housed in pretty princess-y packaging that packs a punch.

We’ll have to wait and see what Pretty Vulgar has in store for us.

Keeping watching Sephora.com for more info.

I’ll post as more news becomes available.

I’m eager to try something new that’s for sure.

How about you?

Princess-y cocktailed with Killer Queen anyone?

Spring and Summer makeup and beauty releases arrives in Japan in fashion with releases from brands like Jill Stuart, Anna Sui, and Les Merveilleuses de Laduree. Japan holds a special place in my heart when it comes to beautiful makeup. Don’t get me wrong I love the whimsical charm of brands from Korea like Etude House and Tony Moly but brands from Japan have a certain timeless elegance.

Spring is normally a rather popular time for makeup releases in Japan. Typically January marks a time for skincare renewal here in the US but Japan is typically cocking up different color collections to launch and for me it’s one of their biggest seasons for makeup aside from Fall.

There are quite a few beautiful things that launched or about to launch in Japan for Spring and Summer that are currently on my to buy list.

Here are a few I have my eye on.

Last Spring we got our hands on the Etude House Juice Bar Play Color Eyes and Etude House In the Cafe Play Color Palette! This Spring, Etude House gifts us with yet another delightful Play Color Eyes Eyeshadow Palette inspired by cherry blossoms!

This delightful palette contains 10 delightful rose, berry, and red shades in both matte and shimmer formula combined with hints of nude, natural colors! Four of the shades in the palette are new where as others are repromoted colors from past Play Color Eyes but I still love having the colors all in one spot!

Do need!

Get yours at ebay.com or amazon.com.

P.S. Happy Thursday! We made it through the week, ALMOST! Or at least I did. It was fast one! I’m looking forward to the weekend but the cold is back in Gotham again! Looks like a rainy weekend ahead. Get this, I had the heat on in my house the last two nights. Jeez…!

Anyway, hope your weekend is going as nice and calmly as mine!

If you’ve been following along the last few months you know I subscribed to Facetory Sheet Mask Subscription Box a few months ago. This a once a month box that delivers 4 to 7 Asian Sheet Masks to your door. When I started the service it was a super deal at $14.95 with Free Shipping for Free Masks. They actually recently started charging shipping and also, raised the box price to $15.95. It’s still quite an inexpensive way to try a variety of sheet masks in my opinion 🙂 So, even though they started charging $3.95 shipping, I stuck with the service.

Here’s what’s inside my April Facetory Box if you’re interested 🙂

So, I’m hoping for some new shades of L’Oreal Infallible Paints Lip Paints for Summer 2017 but until then I’ll settle for this L’Oreal Infallible Paints Lip Kit ($24.99) available exclusively at Ulta and Ulta.com.

In a sea of long-wearing matte lip colors, L’Oreal’s Lip Paint formula was such a refreshing change. These are so delightfully creamy, lightly hydrating, super pigmented, and they wear like a champ without sucking every bit of moisture from my lips!

This set includes three full-size Paints in:

• DIY Red
• Fearless Fuchsia
• Spicy Blush

Buying the set saves you $5 bucks as each individual shade is typically $10 each!

Get it now at Ulta.com.

P.S. Oh and Happy Weed Day! Ha…I just got off the phone with my underwriter, who’s like 20 years old, and she was like “What do you think I’m doing on 420 day?” Suddenly, I felt very old and was like, “What? 420 day? Eh?” Sorry, I only remember when it’s Pirates, Pi, and Star Wars Day, May the 4th be with you! Occupational hazard of being a geek. Apparently, I missed the memo that it was Weed Day. So, I guess we should all road trip it out to Colorado and smoke up to celebrate. Or not, weed makes me paranoid.
