Smashbox L.A. Lights Blendable Lip & Cheek Color

Sephora recently listed the new Smashbox L.A. Lights Blendable Lip & Cheek Color on site as an early Smashbox Summer 2015 launch and I’ll have you know my predictions about chubby blush sticks for a Summer Trend is coming to past.

I accept pats on the back and praise, k, thanks.

No, seriously though Sephora listed a single shade which was exciting but more recently it looks like they’ll be a total of five shades in this launch which likely means it’ll be heavily promoted for Summer but later on will be added to the core color collection.

Have a look!

Philosophy Iced Mint Lemonade

I remember going absolutely coo coo for cocoa puffs in 2007 when Philosophy Pink Lemonade launched. I’m a little more reserved at the introduction of Philosophy Iced Mint Lemonade but just barely.

Looking Sick, Asia’s Next Big Beauty Trend

looking sick beauty trend

Much to my horror Etude House launched their Proof Ten Shiny Eye Sticks in Korean about two years ago to endorse the puffy eye beauty trend. Seriously? How many times have you heard me moan, whine, and moan some more about my puffy eyes. I have larger eyes and when they are puffy I look old and positively scary. Mothers hide their crying children when I pass by, lakes of water freeze over, and milk spoils when my eyes are presented to the world in such a state.

It isn’t pretty.

Around 2013, the puffy eye look was pretty huge in Korea and on some levels it is still a bit of a trend. To get the look products like Proof Ten Shiny Eye Sticks could be applied under the lower eye area, a little below your natural lash line. The colors used would be softer, iridescent shades and these would create a puffy effect. If you’re younger you might just be able to rock the look! If you already have puffy eyes, guess what? You’re so freaking trendy!

Personally it’s not a look I personally loved.

Fast forward and this week it’s all about looking sick. This isn’t really a new look in all honesty but suddenly has become a topic of interested within the Western world. Girls within Japan and the cosplay world have been embracing what these articles have dubbed the “sick” look for quite a while.
