Clinique My Happy Perfume Sprays ($25) arrive in three new scents for Spring 2021 today including a Cookies and Kisses! I have to throw it out there and say I love My Happy Cocoa & Cashmere Perfume Spray! Actually, the entire My Happy Fragrance Collection is really fun and some of the scents are brilliant! But….

But………………….

The size!

0.5 oz? Why? I can literally go through one of these a week of I used it everyday! It’s just too small!

NARS Spring 2021 releases are popping up left and right. We’re all nursing our Holiday hangovers (at least I am) but NARS is being all sort of busy and releasing all kinds of new stuff. The question is, can they tempt me? NARS, you’ve burn me a little lately and I’m not sure I trust you but I may just try give you a second chance as I really like the looks of that St Germain des Prés Eyeshadow Palette from the Claudette available at sephora.com.

Here’s what NARS has been cooking up for Spring 2021.

Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer Duo ($32) is a new dual-ended correcting and brightening conceal pencil that’s available in 16 shades for Spring 2021. If you know anything at all about makeup you know that January is the season for brands to relaunch a lot of their base products. Foundations, powders, and most especially concealers are always brought out and showcased in January. Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer Duo is the first new concealer launch we are seeing heading in 2021 but they’ll be plenty more I have no doubt.

A long time ago and in a galaxy not too for away from this one I used to like Laura Mercier’s Secret Camouflage Concealer Palette. I was never a big, big fan of the Secret Concealer but I did dig on the Secret Camouflage duo. Later in life I realized I just really needed a pigmented concealer and not a correcting one. You see, I don’t really have dark circles but I do struggle with puffiness and tired looking eyes. So, Laura Mercier’s Secret Camouflage Concealer Palette is a little overkill for me. It’s a very heavy product and has two cream concealers that act to correct and conceal. It’s also quite emollient so application can be tricky but well worth it.

Now, the sad news….

Laura Mercier’s Secret Camouflage Concealer Palette is still very much available on lauramercier.com however, there’s only one shade on Sephora. Hmmmm….are they discontinuing and replacing it with this new Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer Duo?

I think I may need to check out those new Ulta Gloss Sticks and the new Lumistick Under Eye Brightener. Ulta’s busy refreshing their catalog for Spring 2021 so a lot of new products are popping up here and there and of course, as a girl with tired eyes, the Ulta Lumistick Under Eye Brightener was the first item that caught my eye.

This is available in two different shades and can be worn alone to brighten the under eye area or used under your concealer to correct darkness, puffiness, etc….! Ulta releases can be hit or miss so thankfully they have a BOGO deal at the moment plus $3.50 off $15 with code 814565. I sort of feel less guilty when I buy their stuff on sale and it ends up not working out. But on the upside if it does work out I got a cool deal ;-D

They also launched new Gloss Sticks which I’m all about. These are a lightweight, pigmented buttery lip color that provides moisture, color, and shine to lips! They have them available in six different shades! I wonder how they compare to Tarte’s version!

Ulta Gloss Stick and Lumistick Under Eye Brightener is available now.
