I purchased some WYN BEAUTY Nothing To See Soft Matte Creamy Concealer and I regret nothing. Who the heck is WYN Beauty you might be asking? If you haven’t heard Serena Williams has created a new makeup collection called WYN Beauty that’s available exclusively at Ulta. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking! “NOT another celebrity makeup brand!” Well, technically Serena is an athletic and not really a celeb right? So, let’s give her a pass! But in all seriousness, over the last few years a lot of celebrities, singers, and athletics have broken into the beauty industry. I mean, Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson has a line of body care for men. It’s been an interesting time for celebs to just randomly break into the beauty industry but they have and there’s no end in sight as we get some new makeup collection daily. I’m really waiting to see Meghan does something beauty wise with the American Riviera Orchard.

But I digress…Let’s get back to WYN Beauty. I didn’t expect Serena to be a person who would break into makeup world but she has and I didn’t expect much from her line but so far she’s really impressed me. I haven’t tried any of WYN Beauty’s color cosmetics yet but I can say that the Nothing To See Soft Matte Creamy Concealer and the amazingly beautiful Featuring You Hydrating Skin Enhancing Tint SPF 30 is a total win for me. Not only did I love the formulas but I was also, impressed with the shade range. I always struggle to find a good match as I’m not quite warm nor am I completely cool. I consider myself a light medium with a peach undertone and it seems a hard match to find. I’m always recommended foundations or concealers with olive, beige, or yellow undertones and they simply don’t work. I really liked the light medium range in WYN Beauty’s Collection! They had a great match for me!

If I have to hear one more person compare and call Bath and Body Viva Vanilla Fine Fragrance Mist a dupe of Eilish Perfume I think I’m going scream bloody murder. Please everyone stop saying that!

Viva Vanilla is one of ten new luxury inspired fragrances that Bath and Body Works recently introduced online and in select stores. Each of the ten fragrances is “inspired by” a luxury perfume aka it smells identical to popular and way more expensive fragrances like Tom Ford Lost Cherry and Parfums de Marly Delina. There’s even a new men’s fragrance called First Sight which is a Baccarat Rouge 540 dupe!

As with most things on the Internet the Bath and Body Works Luxury Collection is getting a lot of hype. I get it! Some of the fragrances that Bath and Body Works are $300+ dollars a bottle and people are really excited to get their hands on a duplication for $19 bucks (or less! I got the entire collection for less than $60 thanks for the mist being on sale for $5.95 plus having a 25% off coupon). The launch has stirred up such a great response many of the scents are sold out including the popular Viva Vanilla fragrance that everyone keeps calling an Eilish No. 1 dupe. Trust me, if you want a longer wearing and stronger version of the delicious chocolate and vanilla scent that is Eilish I totally recommend Lattafa Nebras! And the best part it’s $35! However, this $19 bottle of Bath and Body Works Viva Vanilla Fine Fragrance isn’t going to do it if you’re wanting something that smells like Eilish! If you want a perfume body spray version of Eilish just go with the original! Yes, there is a Eilish Fragrance Mist and it’s $18 and quite lovely.

All that being said, I STILL really like Bath and Body Works Viva Vanilla and I even got a backup (and I’m tempted to get some more). I’m just irked at the people calling it a dupe of Eilish because it isn’t.
