Palladio Butter Me Up! Sheer Color Balm Review & Swatches

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

Palladio Butter Me Up! Sheer Color Balms

Palladio Butter Me Up! Sheer Color Balm ($7.99) is a new selection of tinted lip balms that promise a “luscious, buttery formula that moisturizes, protects, and smooths lips”. I’m all about quick, easy tinted lip balms since I tend to hate reapplying my lipstick as the day progresses. These sounded like a great way to get a quick bit of color and moisture on my lips.

Let’s take a look!

Essence Blush Up! Powder Blush Review & Swatches

Essence Blush Up! Powder Blush1

I was able to get my hands on a single shade of the new Essence Blush Up! Powder Blush ($3.99) recently at Target.com which launched with the Essence Spring/Summer 2016 Collection. And yes, by the way, Target does in fact sell Essence Cosmetics at select stores now if you hadn’t heard.

I was at my local store recently but no luck hitting an Essence display! But good news, the complete Essence Cosmetics Collection is sold online as well!

Essence Blush Up! Powder Blush was probably one of the items I wanted to try most from the newest offerings. I believe Europe already got this blush in stock but this is the first time we are seeing it here in the US. It’s a mere four bucks and weights in at 0.28 oz in size! Sweet price right?

Besame Vanilla Rose Brightening Face Powder for Spring 2016

Besame Vanilla Rose Brightening Face Powder

Yet another shade of Besame Brightening Face Powder has launched for Spring 2016. Late last month I told you about the shade Vanilla Chai which was created for dark skin tone and now we have Besame Vanilla Rose Brightening Face Powder (which by the way comes in very cute packaging!) which was created for light medium tones.

That brings us to a total of five shades that are available now! I use French Vanilla to set my concealer and brighten up my under eye area! Loves it! I consider myself a medium fair skin tone so I do wonder if Vanilla Rose will work for me.

Shades:

  • Violet – for light-medium skin tones, color corrects yellow and red tones
  • Vanilla – for medium skin tones, color corrects red tones
  • French Vanilla – for medium skin tones, color corrects red tones
  • Vanilla Chai – for dark tones, color corrects red and pink tones in the skin
  • Vanilla Rose – for light-medium tones, color corrects green and blue tones in the skin

Besame Vanilla Rose Brightening Face Powder is available now at Sephora.com. Or try out a mini set of these powder that includes shades violet and french vanilla in 0.21 oz sizes which can be found also at Sephora.com.

Hello Kitty Pore Brush Still On Top of My Wish List

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

Well, the Hello Kitty Pore Brush is still not technically on top of my wish list as I finally indulged in it today! I just couldn’t resist any longer. It’s Hello Kitty, that’s a good excuse as any right?

This is a super fine, soft bristled brush. Apparently these bristles have vitamin C in them hmmmmmm! Honestly, it’s not only the cute factor here but I really love how full and lush the bristles look! Seems like a great way to work up a lather when cleansing.

I’ll review soon!

You can get the Hello Kitty Pore Brush now at memebox.com.

What’s on your current beauty wish list that you recently indulged in?
