Nest Black Tulip Reminiscent of Miss Dior But Delightfully Dark

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

nest-black-tulip

Nest Black Tulip Eau de Parfum ($72) is a new warm floral fragrance that Nest introduced for Spring 2017 which contains notes of black amber plum, pink pepper, and Japanese Violet. I had a Sephora Gift Card burning a hole in my wallet and this as well as a few of the Nest items on sale at Sephora.com ended up in my cart, you know a girl needs backups!

I’m a fan girl of Nest’s tooth-achingly sweet floral fragrances. I don’t really love floral fragrances but Nest is a wizard, an absolute wizard with florals and truly creates some unique blends.

Imagine my surprise with Nest Black Tulip arrives and it quite reminded me of Miss Dior Cherie. But don’t worry, it has delightful dark, decadent, and edgy way about it that will capture your attention in a major way.

St. Ives Sued Over Apricot Scrub

beauty news

We’ve all used it at least once in our lives and we all love to hate it or live to hate it or just love it or maybe just hate it. Whatever your relationship is with St. Ives Apricot Scrub I’m sure it’s been an interesting and entertaining journey. In recent news, St. Ives is actually being sued because of their popular and cult favorite Apricot Scrub TMZ reports.

According to TMZ, St. Ives has been hit with a lawsuit over their popular facial scrub because the walnut shells in the formula can cause serious skin damage (most of us knew that already)! Two users, Kaylee Browning and Sarah Basile, have filed a class-action suit against St. Ives stating that walnut shells in scrubs are unsuitable for use on facial skin. Although the label on the product claims “dermatologist tested”� apparently St. Ives still doesn’t disclose that the product isn’t recommend by dermatologists.

I’ve definitely used the scrub myself but it is without a doubt pretty harsh. It’s a formula people either really love or really hate in my experience. What you think of the formula?

This lawsuit is only one in a long line of beauty lawsuits lately. EOS was recently sued as well stating that the balm causes rashes, blistering, and even bleeding. WEN was also sued recently stating the Cleansing Conditioner resulted in hair loss.

Phew! What a year for beauty right?

Kiko Intense Colour Lip Kit Review & Swatches

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

kiko-intense-colour-lip-kit-10

Kiko Intense Colour Lip Kit ($10) launches in 10 gorgeous shades for Holiday 2016 and each kit includes either a matte or shiny finish Intense Colour as well as a matching lip liner. I actually didn’t purchase these sets when they launched earlier this Holiday season because as much as I’m obsessed with Kiko’s entire lipstick range, I felt like I wouldn’t use the lip liner they came with.

At the time these were $18 but they are now 50% off during Kiko’s Holiday Clearance so, if you like this review, best grab ’em before they disappear as these are only around for a limited time.
