Make Up For Ever Artist Acrylip or L’Oreal Infallible Lip Paints or Maybelline Color Jolts?

I’m questioning the sanity of purchasing a few of the new Make Up For Ever Artist Acrylip that got an early Spring 2017 launch at Sephora.com this week. I mean I am very happy with Maybelline Intense Lip Paint (Review & Swatches) at the moment. Creamy, pigmented, long-wearing, and hello, under $7! And L’Oreal Infallible Lip Paints aren’t too shabby a formula either if not a little more expensive at ten bucks a pop!

Make Up For Ever Artist Acrylip sound intriguing enough with their lightweight formula and shiny, buildable color pay off plus they come in an array of vibrant shades. But do I need them when I have L’Oreal Infallible Lip Paints or Maybelline Color Jolts in my stash already.

These are the makeup questions that keep a girl up at night.

Shades:

  • Candy Pink
  • Lilac
  • Eggplant
  • Dark Purple
  • Fuchsia Pink
  • Iconic Red
  • Raspberry Red
  • Poppy Orange
  • Coral Pink
  • Orange

Did you haul any of ’em?

Are smaller eyeshadow palettes going to be on trend for Spring 2017? These new Smashbox Cover Shot Eye Palettes for Spring 2017 sure make it feel that way! Not to mention the itty bitty Too Faced Matte Chocolate Chip and White Chocolate Chip Eyeshadow Palettes. So, before you know it, is everyone going to start launching small eyeshadow palettes that are under $30 bucks? These are the questions that keep me up at night!

No, seriously, I foresee everyone suddenly going smaller for the Spring/Summer seasons. We’ve been on such a mega palette kick lately it wouldn’t surprise me if brands starting going smaller! Hell, the Tarte Tarteist Pro Amazonian Eyeshadow Palette just launched and there’s already a little baby Pro To Go Eyeshadow Palette available! Who’s next to shrink their offerings? Urban Decay?

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

So, do we need another Ambient Strobe Lighting Blush Palette? I’d like to to think so! The Hourglass Ambient Strobe Lighting Blush Palette for Spring 2017 ($62) might tempt you today or not after overindulging in turkey, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday deals you might not have room for it.

I admit to really disliking Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush but having some sort of odd love affair with the Ambient Lighting Blush palettes. What is wrong with me?

Hourglass Ambient Strobe Lighting Blush Palette gets an early Spring 2017 launch that contains three Ambient Strobe Lighting Blush. Note, they added “strobe” to name of the blushes which likely means they’ll be unleashing a new range of reformulated Ambient Lighting Blushes for Spring 2017. These new blushes promise a natural yet radiant finish that provide glowing color and an illuminating effect courtesy the ultra fine pearl particles in the powders.
