Everyone always raves the Beautyblender Sponge for its ability to apply foundation to an airbrushed finish. But personally I use a Beautyblender to apply skincare, yes, skincare. It’s actually a great way to target drier areas on your face and also a fab way to sheer out richer or creamier formulas on oily skin.

A little brief sneaky little peek of Tarte Summer 2016 popped up on Twitter (it’s been all over Instagram as you likely already know). The collection is called Rainforest of the Sea and features the Rainforest of the Sea Foundation that launched a few months ago on QVC as well as a new facial mist, a new eyeshadow palette, and other goodies.
I don’t have an exact launch date for the collection but I’m hearing March!
We shall see!
More info as it becomes available!
I was reading through some of your great comments in my “What’s the worst eyeshadow you’ve ever used?” post and you all had some really great stories about bad eyeshadow formulas. One reader mentioned Colorpop Eyeshadow as being a no go for her. Honestly, I personally have had a problem with Colourpop’s Eyeshadow formula and I really enjoy it.
But what do you think of the brand overall?
Is it it a lot of hype?
Or a hit?
For me, it’s a little of both. I really like their shadow formula and I enjoy SOME of the Lippie Stixs. But I always fee like the Lippie Stix formula gets a lot of raves as being smooth and creamy but they are actually quite dry and color tends to fall into my natural lip lines. It really depends on which finishes you use. I have made my peace with the formula as many of the shades are lovely but sometimes it does make me rather anxious when I hear reviews saying how soft and creamy they are…why am I not feeling like this!? Ahhhhgrrr!
So I’m kinda on both sides of the fence. Some of Colourpop line is a hit for me but some of it also has a lot of hype that I don’t feel quite lives up to the products I’ve tried.
How about you?
Is it a complete hit?
Or is it a bit too hyped?
Or maybe you’re somewhere in between?
Do share!
Ok, so I admit I may or may not have more than one signature fragrance. You ever have that issue? For me it’s kinda like concealer….I know for a fact that I have an HG (holy grail) concealer that I love and use daily. So why do I keep hunting for the next great thing? I think I just love the thrill of the case. Finding something new to love, something that might just be a better formula than what I currently use.
For fragrance the game goes the same way for me. I have a lot of different signature scents. Dianne Brill Perfume, Lush Snowcake Perfume, Guerlain French Kiss, oh gosh, there are just too many to list but I’m always looking for the next best thing!
But what happens when your fragrance formula sucks?
So I LOVE Diptyque Oyédo and I consider it one of my signature fragrances but oh my god it doesn’t last at all! I’ve come to the conclusion I could tip an entire bottle over my head and it still would disappear an hour or two after! I wish they’d do it in a perfume formula, something stronger and longer wearing PLEASE!
I can always use my little trick to make my fragrance last longer but I sure do wish that Oyédo was strong all its own especially for the $125 price tag ouch!
How about you?
Do any of your signature fragrance formulas suck?
Share which ones!
Milk Makeup Hero Salve ($12) is a new healing salve that promises a rich, hydrating formula which can be used anywhere. I loved the idea of multitasking products like this but my germ-a-phobe good nature also has this skeeve-y moment where I’m like, “Ok, ew, I don’t think I want to dip a finger in and use it on my mouth and proceed to use it on my body too!”
You know what I mean or am I alone out there?
