Clinique Sweet Pots Sugar Scrub & Lip Balm for Spring 2016 have arrived! These dual sided little pots contain a lip scrub on one side and a tinted lip balm on the other for soft, smooth, shiny lips.

Shades include:

  • Citron Bleu
  • Candied Cassis
  • Pink Framboise
  • Sweet Rose
  • Black Honey (Exclusively at Sephora)

I’m pretty excited about these as I tend to have dry, cracked lips around this time of the year and I rely on lip scrubs to keep my lips from being a flaky, awful mess.

Revlon ColorStay Not Just Nudes Eyeshadow Palettes for Spring 2016

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

Revlon ColorStay Not Just Nudes Palette

Revlon ColorStay Not Just Nudes Eyeshadow Palettes for Spring 2016 have arrived! These new Revlon Eyeshadow Palettes include 10 shades of eyeshadow each. Earlier last Summer, the Maybelline the Nudes Eyeshadow Palette launched for Fall 2014 and has since introduced several color variations on this 12 pan eyeshadow palette. For me, this was a nod to the very popular Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Palette as the drugstore was sadly lacking in such large palettes like this.

Since that time the L’Oreal La Nude Palettes as well as the newer Covergirl TruNaked Eyeshadow Palettes have launched for Spring 2016 and now we’re getting a bit of a bigger palette from Revlon too.

I love the fact that more and more larger eyeshadow palettes are launching at the drugstores however, the prices aren’t always as budget friendly as I would like. Revlon Colorstay Not Just Nudes Eyeshadow Palettes are $14.99 each (However, they are Buy 1, Get 1 50% Off at Ulta.com at the moment) which is quite hefty considering they have two less eyeshadows than Maybelline’s version which can be purchased at $9.99.

The Revlon Colorstay Not Just Nudes Eyeshadow Palette are available in two shade selections of Passionate Nudes and Romantic Nudes. Passionate Nudes contains the more standard range of nude shades like browns, golds, bronzes, beiges, etc…where as Romantic Nudes is more of a smokier palette with taupes, purples, and a few brown and beige shades.

I’ll be reviewing these shortly so stayed tuned.

Revlon Colorstay Not Just Nudes Eyeshadow Palette are available now at Ulta.com and should be launching soon at drugstores.

What do you think of these?

It’s the week of Christmas but I’m already thinking of all the great Boxing Day Beauty & Makeup Sales! The Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale 2016 starts on Boxing Day, December 26th plus you have the Sephora Sale on Sale will begin shortly which gets you an extra 20% Off any and all sale items at Sephora.com.

I’m not really sure what I have my eye on this year! I’m trying to be good and not haul anymore BBW Candles as I promised myself I’d burn what I already have before stocking up on more! Everything else I’m pretty well stocked up on.

How about you?

MAC Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact for Spring 2016

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

MAC Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact Cushion

Cushion makeup is everywhere at the moment so no wonder MAC Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact is now available because hey, MAC is the go to for all things foundation apparently (although I beg to disagree because their foundations are either too beige or too yellow on me!).

MAC Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact ($36) does intrigue me though as it has a color adapting technology that gives your a complexion a “true-to-life” natural skin finish with sheer to medium coverage.

It’s available in 12 shade selections and comes housed in a chunky double lid compartment compact that features the mirror and sponge on the upper level and a flip up lid that houses the cushion.

Cushion makeup isn’t new by any means particularly if you’re a Korean beauty and makeup users as these have been around for the last two or so years. But it’s just now starting to pop up here in the US.

I’m looking forward to seeing how MAC does in the cushion world and see if their formula is as great as it sounds.

Now to find a good match…

Get the MAC Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact now at Nordstrom.com and soon on counters.
