Pupa is one of Europe’s cutest makeup treasures. This Italian brand is well known for their delightfully cute makeup palettes that are like Transformers for makeup lovers. Or if you’re as old as some people, ahem, me, you might remember Sweet Secrets as that’s what Pupa always reminded me of! I had them all because my older sister spoiled me rotten so, yeah, totally had every single Sweet Secret including the jewelry box that turned into a house.

Anyway, I used to be obsessed with Pupa. They actually evolved considerably over the years and the cutesy makeup palettes turned into more of a Kiko-like makeup experience with many of their latest offering easily accessible in Singapore, Taiwan, and Japan but sadly, never in the US. I miss the cute palettes but their newer makeup is actually very pretty as well.

I didn’t realize how much I missed it until ran across this adorable Teddy Bear Eye Shadow Set at Forever 21. I had to bite a nail not to buy it.

See it below!

Glamglow continues to grow their empire of skincare with this new Glamglow Volcasmic Matte Glow Moisturizer for Spring 2017. At some point, I expect to wake up and find a full line of Glamglow Makeup has arrived.

Can you tell I’m slightly a Glamglow naysayer? I purchased some of the masks and I’m trying to understand all the youTube and blog ravings because I never see visible results with their skincare.

Sad panda!

But this new Glamglow Volcasmic Matte Glow Moisturizer might tempt my oily folks out there to indulge.

Victoria's Secret Midnight Glamour Luminous Highlighting Powder 8

I was skipping through Victoria’s Secret yesterday searching out ahem gifts for myself during Black Friday/Cyber Monday and when I reached the beauty section I had a bad case of nostalgy for the cool, limited edition Victoria’s Secret Makeup Collections from the past.

Remember the seasonal Victoria’s Secret Makeup Collections? Don’t you miss them?

I know I do!

Sniff!

Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Oil are one of three new lip products that Burt’s Bees has in the works for the Spring 2017 season. I already told you about the Burt’s Bees Flavor Crystals Lip Balm but there’s also a new Gloss Lip Crayon which is a new finish from the original Burt’s Bees Lip Crayon.

The brand continues to produce a variety of lip products such as the recently released Burt’s Bees Lipstick. I always find myself wishing they’d venture further into color cosmetics as some of what they have done recently is quite good (aside from that mishap with the Flavor Crystal Lip Balm yak!).
