Guerlain Meteorites Highlighting Powder Pearls ($57) for Holiday 2020 has arrived today at sephora.com. What is it about Meteorites that we feel the need to collect all the LE versions that Guerlain throws our way? I have tons of them in my collection and I’m always on the look out for more. This year’s version comes in a gorgeous golden box featuring six different shades of white, champagne, pink, mauve, and green pearls that act to capture the light and bring it to your complexion!

Now comes the hard part….! Do I order them or do I shop my own stash to remind myself how many of these I already own?

Also part of the collection is the new Guerlain Terracotta Sunkissed Natural Finish Bronzing Powder which is a soft, silky bronzer with a radiant finish! Don’t overlook this if you never tried it. Guerlain’s bronzer is surprisingly wearable and adds a really nice, natural glow to skin especially when paired with blush! It sort of gives you that sunkissed flush you get from sitting in the sun for a bit.

There is a lipstick and an eyeshadow palette that are launching with Guerlain Holiday 2020 as well but I haven’t seen those pop up here in the US as of yet.

Is the Guerlain Holiday 2020 Collection on your list?

I just got a note from Hourglass Cosmetics inviting me to shop their early Black Friday Sale starting soon because they are concerned about shipping delays in November. Should you be shopping for the holidays now? Maybe!

I haven’t really thought much about it because hey, who’s thinking about the Holidays when COVID, raging fires, hurricanes, and politics are around right? But I thought about it today after getting that e-mail and I remember how hard it was getting things here in New York when our numbers were so high. Amazon Prime was taking a 7 to 10 days to arrive, other retails were sometimes two to three weeks, heck, even recently when I did a TJMaxx order it took nearly a month to arrive.

Our numbers are climbing again in New York due to certain clusters within the city boroughs. This could be a hint as a second wave or it may be isolated. So, should I shop now for the Holidays? Should I wait?

Here’s my thoughts.

Fenty Beauty Instant Reset Overnight Recovery Gel ($40) is a new nightly treatment moisturizer that acts to hydrate skin and create a smoother, more even tone. This is the fourth skincare product from Fenty and right now it looks like they’ll be extending the line even further as they Fenty website is split between Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin now.

Oddly, Fenty is one of those lines that you feel like the creator would actually use these products. If rumors are true Riri is really big on skincare (and fragrance and makeup) and I can sort of seeing her reaching for something like this.

This is actually not an all hype product which is delightful as typically these types of products launch with a lot of fanfare only to have some really crappy ingredients. Some of the first ingridents here are Niacinamide which acts to even skin tone and fights dark spot as well as Hyaluronic acid which plumps skin and allows it to retain moisture. Hydrating ingredients include melon oil, baobab, and aloe. I’m properly impressed with what they packed into this little gel. They say it smells like tropical fruits and flowers and that might be from the melon oil and other natural oils as I see nothing listed as a fragrance option.

It’s supposed to act as an overnight treatment or sleep mask as well as a moisturizer to fight dark spots, uneven skin tone, fine lines, and wrinkles. It comes in a refillable jar that features an applicator to scoop out the product without having to touch it.

I haven’t actually tried any of the other Fenty Beauty Skincare items but this one has me intrigued.

Right now it’s exclusive to Fenty’s website but should be coming soon to Sephora.

Anyone curious about Fenty Beauty Instant Reset Overnight Recovery Gel?

I’m happy to say the L’Occitane Holiday Advent Calendar for Holiday 2020 has arrived today! I must have one! Here’s some pictures from a prior calendar they did!

Cute right? I always get excited when they do their Holiday Advent Calendar! It’s filled with fun favorites for your bath, body, and even your face! Not to mention it is a 24 day calendar! I sort of hate on the 12 day ones! Granted, some are cute but isn’t 24 days way better than 12?!

Curious what this year’s looks like and what’s inside?

Jump ahead!
