Some of the Stila Summer 2020 Collection arrived last week and today they released the Road Less Traveled Eye Shadow Palette which gave me old Stila Girl Travel Palette vibes due to the name! I still have every single one! They aren’t usable anymore but still I have ’em on the old beauty archive. I’m trying to remember why I was obsessed with owning every single one. Probably the price that was around $10 to $14 per palette.

Anyway, Stila Summer 2020 is here and I noticed something exciting! New Beauty Boss Lip Gloss ahhhhhh! You know I love me some Beauty Boss Lip Gloss and I’m so ready for new shades! I see a nude or two in the Summer Collection.

Here’s some more deets!

Milk Makeup Melatonin Overnight Lip Mask and Milk Makeup Melatonin Overnight Serum launched today and count me intrigued. Who knew that my dry lips could be even drier? For some reason my skin is just having a melt down moment! My forehead is flaky, my lips are dry as heck, my hands feel like an alligator’s skin, this staying home thing is bad for my skin!

How happy am I that Milk Makeup has a new Melatonin Overnight Lip Mask? This new overnight mask hydrates, calms, and replenishes with Hyaluronic Acid and topical Melatonin as well as shea butter. I’m a Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask kind of girl myself but I could be persuaded to try Milk’s formula!

I’m sort over the stick skincare craze so not sure if the Melatonin Overnight Serum will grab me. But the formula sounds interesting! This is an overnight treatment that gives skin a smoother, bouncier appearance using topical Melatonin and Hyaluronic Acid.

Melatonin has been trending heavily at the moment in the world of skincare. I’m sure by Summer we’ll see more and more brands promoting it especially at the drugstore. The ingredient apparently acts to stimulate the skin’s antioxidant enzymes while you sleep which helps to protect skin against harmful environmental pollutants.

I can be convinced to try the lip mask but again, not sure on the serum stick. I’m just not feeling the love for skincare sticks lately. They just don’t seem to work out well for me. They sure are neat for travel and storage plus easy to apply but I’d rather a serum in a pump which would mean less exposure to air.

What do you think of these two new products from Milk Makeup?

In keeping up with the times Sephora has launched their own mini Skincare Fridge! Yes, Sephora Skincare Fridge might need to be in your life if you don’t already own a skincare fridge. I sort of laugh at this new skincare fridge thing as I’ve had a fridge in my bathroom for ten plus years which people are sort of aghast at when I mention it. “But why…!?” And now it’s all the rage! I like to keep my Lush stuff in there and I also like the feel of a nice cool mask at the end of the day. It’s a handy little thing to have around. I’m not sure if I’m extending the life of my skincare any by keeping it cool but I do know I like the fresh, cool feeling of my moisturizer on my face just out of the fridge or misting myself with my favorite body mist on a hot day after it’s been in the fridge.

Sephora’s Skincare Fridge is $60 and has a warm and a cool setting. One of the reviews does say it’s pretty loud but if you’re putting in your bathroom that might not be a problem for you. I’ve had two fridges in my bathroom in the last two years and both had a rather loud fan. It never bothered me since it’s in the master bath and not directly in my bedroom. I am one one that needs silence when I sleep! I’d never keep a ticking clock in my bedroom as it would drive me nuts. So, yeah, if you’re planning on keeping this in your bedroom best read the reviews about the louder fan.

Would I recommend a skincare fridge? Absolutely! They are pretty awesome for keeping facial rollers, eye rollers, and masks in. And if you’re an avid Lush user it will keep your face masks and skincare from the brand fresher.

Do you already use a mini fridge for your skincare?

Sephora Skincare Fridge is available now.

The question begging to be answered at the moment is will I like the new Tatcha The Liquid Silk Canvas Featherweight Protective Primer if I didn’t like the Silk Canvas Protective Primer? I found the Silk Canvas Protective Primer oddly greasy on my dry skin and was disappointed overall in the product! It just wasn’t my thing! I will say E.L.F. did a better job with the Poreless Putty Primer in my opinion plus, hey, it’s cheaper too!
