4 stars out of 5

Sweetie Pie is one of two Wet n Wild My Melody Liquid Matte Lip Color shades launching with the Wet n Wild My Melody and Kuromi Makeup Collection. This long-wearing lipstick is pretty much the same formula as the MegaLast Liquid Catsuit Lipstick but in limited edition packaging featuring My Melody. Don’t worry Kuromi fans! You’ll get a goth-y purple Wet n Wild Kuromi Liquid Matte Lip Color shade in this collection.

I’m surprised they didn’t go with a nude pink to match My Melody’s little bunny ears! Instead they went with a hot fuchsia pink which is fun for Summer looks!

5 stars out of 5

Carol’s Daughter Hair Milk Refresher Spray is one of my absolutely favorite products! I use it to detangle my hair, I use it to hydrate and add much needed moisture to my locks, and I even use it poolside to freshen up my hair and reduce tangles.

I am have a serious issue at the moment and debating whether I need to hoard it because Carol’s Daughter Conditioner’s scent and formula recently changed. I purchased a new bottle recently and at first I thought I was crazy but I quickly realized it wasn’t the same conditioner I know and love. I HOPE they don’t change the scent of the other Hair Milk items. I don’t even know how to describe the scent. It’s sort of fresh, slightly tart fragrance that just smells clean and pretty!

Anyway, here’s how I use my Carol’s Daughter Hair Milk Refresher Spray to keep my hair from becoming dry and brittle after a dip or two in the pool!

Soap & Glory Now Has a Cleansing Balm That Acts as Peel?

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

Soap & Glory Glow Your Mind Nourishing Cleansing Balm is on the loose at Ulta! This is Soap & Glory’s first cleansing balm ever! The $13.99 cleansing balm is 3.3 oz in size and contains a mix of marula, avocado, apricot, and jojoba oil.

This sounded amazing until I read the how to use instructions. At first they say it’s a balm t milk consistency! Ok, that sounds right but they proceed to they proceeded to confuse me in two areas the first of which is the fact that meant to be used on a wet face. As far as I’m concerned it’s no longer a cleansing balm if you’re using it on wet skin. But secondly and most odd is the fact that it acts as a peel. Say what? Apparently it has AHA and BHA ingredients to act as a gentle peel but in reality it comes from harmful lemon oil. That being said I’m a bit wary of applying this on my eyes even though it says it’ll act to remove waterproof mascara.

I always find products like this confusing as it just wants to do too much. Just pick one thing to excel at. Be a great cleansing balm but don’t try to be a peel as well. It’s just too confusing when you’re throwing so many tasks into one simple product.

Am I right?

For those interested Soap & Glory Glow Your Mind Nourishing Cleansing Balm is available now at Ulta.

Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin High Coverage Multi-Use Concealer The Next Tarte Shape Tape?

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

Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin High Coverage Multi-Use Concealer ($27) launched today in 22 shades today at sephora.com and I’m wondering could it be the next Tarte Shape Tape Concealer? Same larger applicator, matte, full coverage, hmmmm! Sounds like Tarte Shape Tape doesn’t it? But guess what? I like Shape Tape and to this day I haven’t really found a Make Up For Ever Concealer I actually like. I dunno why that is either…! But I’m tempted by Matte Velvet Skin High Coverage Multi-Use Concealer! I could be convinced to try this one especially with the natural matte finish promise.

The formula is full coverage and provides a blurring effect with a water, sweet, and transfer proof formula that’s lightweight and what they dub as “airy”. That sounds very promising! Now to find a shade as I can never find a good Make Up For Ever shade that to fit me. What do you think of this formula? Think it’ll work for you?

Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin High Coverage Multi-Use Concealer is available now at Sephora.

P.S. Happy Monday! How was your weekend? We had some odd weather where it was randomly raining on sec and crazy humid the next. But it was nice overall! Beautiful blue skies, bright sun, but oh my god humid. When the rain came it brought a ton of humidity with it. I felt like I was melting yesterday. We got up really early to go to Bear Mountain and at first it was very cool but as the day progresses phew it was hot as Hades. It was so worth it though because the view was breathtaking. But now my legs are about ready to fall off today 🙂 Haha…!

What did you do this weekend? And which concealer did you use so it didn’t melt completely off? 😉
