Marc Jacobs Beauty Re(cover) Perfecting Coconut Setting Mist for Summer 2017

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

Brace yourself, coconut everything is coming for Summer and the new Marc Jacobs Beauty Re(cover) Perfecting Coconut Setting Mist ($39) kicks this trend off. I would just like to be the sole person that stands up to say coconut water extract so doesn’t work for me. I have coconut mists, coconut micellar water, etc…and if anything, coconut water seems to mattify versus hydrate. Am I missing a point here?

Marc Jacobs Beauty Re(cover) Perfecting Coconut Setting Mist formula is a fine mist spray that they call a 24-hour makeup setting mist which hydrates and gives you a dew glow. Hmmm….there’s that glow thing again! Cover FX, Wander Beauty, Glam Glow, they all promise the same “glow” when using their mists.

Marc Jacobs formula promises a dewy glow as it sets makeup and hydrates skin without leaving behind a sticky or tacky feel. This mist is formulated with five coconut actives:

  • Coconut alkanes for lasting wear
  • Coconut milk for deep hydration
  • Coconut water for refreshing electrolytes
  • Coconut polysaccharides to help condition skin
  • Coconut-derived fragrance

Marc Jacobs has a lot going on with coconuts this upcoming season including a new Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter that already launched and a coconut bronzer that will be launching shortly.

Marc Jacobs Beauty Re(cover) Perfecting Coconut Setting Mist is available at Sephora.com.

Do You Struggle Finding Your Crease?

Do you struggle finding your crease? That sounds like something right out of Girls. I’m talking about your eye crease obviously not other intimate areas ahem…! I personally have Mimi syndrome. My upper eye area is smooth and high but I don’t have much of a crease. I always find it difficult applying darker, contrasting shade in my crease because I fear I’ll go to high and end up looking like Mimi from Drew Carey.

For example, this morning I wanted to do a purple pink eyeshadow look. My plan was to apply pink on my lids and purple in my crease. But it just doesn’t come out right for me! Which means I end up applying the purple in my outer v and stroked a little upward.

I’ve come to the conclusion I either suck at eyeshadow application or I simply can’t find my crease.

Do you struggle finding your crease?

Any tips or tricks for finding it?

Or maybe you struggle with some other eyeshadow issues or like maybe you suck at liquid eyeliner application!

Do share!

Dear Ulta, How About Some Free Shipping?

Dearest Ulta, have I told you how awesome you are lately? But how about some free shipping….?

I sound like one of those passive aggressive people that will compliment you but also, point out something they dislike about you. “Awww you’re so cute but…” I’m sorry, Ulta but I speak for everyone when I say we REALLY need some free shipping.

Ulta has stepped up it’s game in so many incredible ways the past two years. First off, they started carrying a wider selection of higher end brands like Estee Lauder and even Guerlain fragrances now. Secondly, they started carrying a slew of K-beauty brands like Tony Moly, Skinfood, and others. Not to mention their reward system is incredible because it gets you actual cash value back that can be used online or in stores. Become a Platinum Member and the perks get even better with exclusive launches, sales, etc…! And by the way, let’s talk about exclusives for a minute. Have you noticed that Ulta gets first dib launches on many, many palettes lately from brands like Too Faced and Urban Decay. For example, Ulta is getting the Too Faced Natural Love Eyeshadow Palette a lot earlier than Sephora is. Hmmmmm…………..! And let’s not forget, hello, you can buy Urban Decay, Too Faced, and Bare Minerals along with your favorite drugstore brands like Revlon, L’Oreal, etc..in ONE location!

I mean I have to spend $1000 to be a Sephora Rouge Member with perks that suck. Yet Ulta Platinum Member’s is nearly half that and I get money back to use towards future purchases!

If they improved their customer service a bit, relaunched the website (it needs a little design help), and most important offered some sort of Sephora Flash-like Shipping Option I would be very, very happy!

So, please, Ulta, get on that free shipping option because I would every so happy if you did!

Wet n Wild Queen of my Heart Megaglo Highlighter Powder Review & Swatches

Lilac to Reality and The Sweetest Bling are two new, limited edition Wet n Wild Queen of my Heart Megaglo Highlighter Powder Palettes that are launching now at drugstores for Spring 2017. I got suckered into these because I adored the cute heart design that reminded me of MAC Quite Cute Blush that launched a few years ago.

I’m not a huge highlighter girl by any means and like many of you I’m tried of the endless highlighters. I’m also not one that embraces unusual shades of highlighter like lilacs and purples or even greens. But here I am with two brand new highlighters in my possession beause I’m weak. I’m so very weak 🙂
