Sephora Favorites Hello! Holy-Grail Greats launched today at sephora.com for $10 bucks. The Sephora Play Box subscription has been discontinued and it�s been replaced with two new non-subscription based boxes. The boxes seem to be arriving every few weeks! There’s also a Luxe Favorites Box they offer which is $25. The Luxe Shelf-Love Collection launched in April but no word if they’ll be another luxury box for July just yet!

I never really liked the original Play! Box so this new way of purchasing boxes is nicer as you know what’s inside and can decide if it is something you want or if it’s a pass. The new thing you’ll find in the Favorites Hello! Box is a 15% off voucher that can be used on any of the full-size items included in the box. That’s a pretty sweet deal.

Lipstick Queen was spotted at Walmart this month. Yeah, Lipstick Queen. The brand has gone through some changes but interestingly enough they have remained the same in regards to quality. In 2011, Poppy sold Lipstick Queen to Manzanita Capital but she remained on board for the next several years. Even though she wasn’t running her lipstick empire all herself Poppy still managed to maintain the brand’s image and quality and even after she left the brand still remained very strong formula wise. Let’s be honest here, we all know if larger parent brands like Estee Lauder or L’Oreal become involved in things the quality on products certainly takes a nose dive! Lipstick Queen is one of those rare brands that did successfully come out of a change of hands without changing overly much.

The question remains if that good fortune will last once they hit Walmart shelves. Will the quality remain the same? The formulas the same? Will the pricing be lower? I’ve always considered the brand one that toes the line between mid and higher-range due to the price point. I’m not sure I can see myself walking into Walmart and indulging in $24 Sinner Lipstick. Can you?

Good Morning world!

How’s Tuesday treating you so far? I’ve been since 4:45AM and grinding away over here. One key factor in getting things done early in the AM for me, because I’m a zombie in the morning, is try to keep my phone off and away from me. If I get my phone in my hand I’m dead in the water! I’ll start checking my work e-mail and replying, I’ll start replying to dms, I’ll want to see if any new comments popped up on the blog, and of course, I’ll start checking social media. It’s easy to fall into a vortex. Typically for me I just leave my phone off when I go to bed at night and I don’t turn it on right away when I get up in the morning. I’ll turn it on around 7:30AM-8ish AM and start getting into my virtual life. But between 4:45AM and that time of turning on my phone and checking my first e-mail I try get a few me things done like taking my morning power walk, showering and putting on my face, taking pictures for the blog, and just prepping for my day ahead.

I had an entire chore list yesterday which I typically share on Insta-stories because some of you guys are my soulmates and twins when it comes to cleaning. Some of the DMs I get are hysterical, some super helpful, and some are just plain clever when it comes to cleaning up at home and organizing stuff. Thank you for sharing in my “hinching” adventures.

Hinching: Originated from MrsHinch aka Sophie Hinchliffe a social influencer and cleansing sensation. Hinching pretty much means to clean and organize.

For me Mrs Hinch is pretty much the modern day Heloise!

I was thinking about it yesterday and if I wasn’t beauty blogging I would…
