4 stars out of 5

E.L.F. Cosmetics Mint Melt Cooling Face Primer ($8) is a new gel facial primer with a cool, fresh feel that preps skin for makeup. According to the brand this contains hyaluronic acid and antioxidants to plump and smooth skin.

First thing I did when I got it I ran to compare the ingredients to my E.L.F. Jelly Pop Dew Primer but turns out they aren’t really the same. For example, this contains Niacinamide which the Jelly Pop formula did not. But if I had to be real with myself as MUCH as I enjoyed using this formula I do think the Jelly Pop has the better formula only because Mint Melt Cooling Face Primer contains some stuff in that you might not want to put on your face like Peppermint and Rosemary. If you can get past that you might love this! I know I did!

Bath & Body Works Chocolate Covered Cherry, Coconut Cream Pie, and Raspberry Jam Donut Arrive Today

Bath & Body Works Chocolate Covered Cherry and Coconut Cream Pie arrived today along with the return of Strawberry Pound Cake! And drum roll please…..! Raspberry Jam Donut is also part of this launch! Who squealed? I know I did! I do so love when Bath & Body Works brings out the gourmands to play!

I’m not yet seeing Coconut Cream Pie and Chocolate Covered in a fragrance mist but hopefully those will trickle in shortly! I’m probably most excited about Chocolate Covered Cherry to be honest but Raspberry Jam Donut is definitely one I want to try especially since it has so much hype on Instagram!

  • Bath & Body Works Raspberry Jam-A fruity bakeshop treat of wild raspberry jam, powdered sugar & warm fluffy donut.
  • Bath & Body Works Chocolate Covered Cherry- A smooth, indulgent blend of rich milk chocolate, red cherries and sweet liqueur.
  • Bath & Body Works Coconut Cream Pie- A rich and creamy bite of toasted coconut flakes, caramel custard & golden pie crust.
  • Bath & Body Works Strawberry Pound Cake-A sweet, airy swirl of fresh strawberries, golden shortcake & whipped cream.

These new fragrances arrive just in time for Valentine’s Day!

I look forward to smelling them!

Anyone try them yet?

Share your thoughts!

Available now online and shortly in stores!

E.L.F. Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm Review & Swatches

3 stars out of 5

E.L.F. Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm ($10) is a new solid balm cleanser infused with ceramides, peptides, and Hyaluronic Acid that gently removes makeup without stripping and leaves skin feeling hydrated and plumped! I’m always a little skeptical of cleansers that are packed with really great ingredients. I mean, you’re washing it off so what’s the point of having a cleanser loaded up with all these great things that are simply washed down the drain?

None the less I decided to give Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm a go because I have drier skin and this sounded great for such a skin type!

Nothing To See Here Milani Peach Of Me Baked Blush Is Just Corallina in Disguise

5 stars out of 5

Milani Peach Of Me Baked Powder Blush is one of two “new” blush shades that launched for Spring 2021 in a new Fruit Fetish-like Collection that’s available at Walgreens. I’m not sure when Milani will officially launch this collection as they have been super quiet about it but the entire collection, which is quite large, is available on Walgreens website for the past two weeks or so. I’m not sure if it is a Walgreens exclusive or if it’ll launch at other stores. I don’t even have a collection name yet as Milani has been really quiet about this launch!

Oh well! I’ve been slowly reviewing some of the peachy items in this launching including the new Milani Peach Tinted Undereye Brightener and Peach Make It Last Setting Spray. There are other fruits represented in the collection like blueberries and cherries which I’ll talk about in some other posts soon!

For now let’s look at the Milani Peach of Me Baked Powder Blush which you don’t need because it’s just Corallina which I bet you already own!

Yup, I Did Order $100 Worth of Eye Makeup Remover Because I’m Cheap

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

Beauty confession! I hate buying inexpensive eye makeup remover! Lancome Bi-Facil Double-Action Gentle Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover is amazing and it’s totally worth the price but I CRINGE at the idea of buying it. I have to replace eye makeup remover so often it feels so wasteful spending more than $6 to $8 on a bottle. Spending $30+? NO THANKS!

However, I’m so happy Ulta is having a sale on the massive bottles today. I got five of the 6.7 oz bottles! At $20 each they are a steal (normally $40 each) or the smaller 4.2 oz are $15! I’m thrilled Ulta didn’t put a cap on these because last year they that had a limit of two I believe!

The larger 6.7 oz bottles will last me a while!

Get yours now before they sell out. Platinum and Diamond orders ship free!

Enjoy!
