Buxom Wanderlust Primer-Infused Blush ($22) is a new primer infused blush that has a beachy fragrance which might just take you out of Winter funk mode and transport to a tropical beach for Spring break. I know a lot of people are groaning right now, “Nooo! Not fragrance in my blush!” But I admit I’m always up for fragrance in some of my products. Please forgive me this?

Available in six shades Buxom Wanderlust Primer-Infused Blush has a built in primer that allows color to last up to 12 hours. It also contains hyaluronic acid and a colorless base which apparently allows the ease of blending. I’m actually not familiar with colorless bases in blush….! Anyone educated on that topic? Do share!

The blush has contains pearl which creates a luminous finish on cheeks. I do wonder how similar they are to Bare Minerals Gen Nude Blush which I really wasn’t a huge fan of. They were a little flat in my experience and required a bit of building depending on the shade. I really wanted to love them but I just came out of the experience feeling a little meh.

Shades:

• Goa (berry)
• Seychelles (bronze)
• Mykonos (peach)
• Ibiza (pink)
• Havana (rose)
• Dolly (absolute mauve)

Buxom Wanderlust Primer-Infused Blush are available now at Ulta and Sephora.

Anyone planning on picking up a shade or two?

Huda Beauty Matte & Metal Melted Double Ended Eyeshadows ($25) and it made me realize, “It Has Begun!” Know what I mean? I mean the Boxing Sales are hitting hard right now but the real story is the fact that we’re going to start seeing plenty of new makeup collections, skincare, and product launches as we head into 2019. Broke from Christmas? The beauty world takes no prisoners because it has begun!

😉

Lucky enough I do have a rather large Sephora Gift Card in my pocket at the moment and this new Huda Beauty Matte & Metal Melted Double Ended Eyeshadow formula seems great. I’m obviously getting old because I was all, “Weeeeee matte cream eyeshadow!” I purchased a few shades of the Tape A l’Oeil Matte Nude Eye Colours when Sephora had 20% Off and I really love the way they set. They have such a flawless, airbrushed appearance on my lids sans shimmer or sparkle of any kind. It’s a very sophisticated look. I’m hoping Huda’s version is the same at a fraction of the cost! Plus if I’m feeling like sparkle these are dual-ended! One shade has a creamy matte shadow and the other side holds a metallic shade. You can mix and match the shades or wear them individually.

Huda’s a little iffy with matte formulas in my opinion though so, I hope these are easy to blend and aren’t dry!

Shades include:

• Hot Sauce (warm red matte) and Cherry Soda (silver & red glitter)
• Silk Bomber (purple matte) and Bubblegum (duo-chrome fuchsia-toned glitter)
• Private Jet (warm pink matte) and Shimmering Sunset (burnished amber glitter)
• Faux Fur (light peach-toned nude matte) and Bamboo Hoops (oyster gold glitter)
• Bubble Bath (dusty pink matte) and Pink Champagne (silver-based cool pink glitter)

I’m going to pick up a few of these! I’ll let you know what I think!

Anyone grabbing them?

Why am I such a sucker for new skincare? Sigh! When Milk Makeup originally launched I purchased quite a few of their skincare pieces like their Hydrating Oil and Cooling Water but wasn’t terribly impressed with the performance or ingredients.

Fast forward and here we are headed into Spring 2019 and Milk has decided to launch a new round of products that I find myself sort of wanting! I spoke about these briefly last week but they have now launched at Sephora.com as well and I have a gift card burning a hole in my pocket.

I can scratch the Milk Makeup Matcha Detoxifying Face Mask ($24) off my list since it ideal for my skin type. But I do want the Watermelon Brightening Face Mask ($24) which is watermelon extract that brightens, hydrates, and evens out skin tone aka it likely does nothing. I keeping remind myself that Olay’s new Fresh Reset Pink Mineral Complex Clay Face Mask Stick promises me a lot of the same and I noticed no difference in my skin tone after using it!

Also, on my list are the new Cooling Water Eye Patches ($22) which are drawing me in with that “cool water” marketing. I’m thinking bursts of hydration under my tired eyes! Apparently these contain caffeine which is always great for depuffing. Yeah, these I might need talking down the ledge on as I see myself hitting submit.

Anyone indulging in the latest Milk Makeup Skincare picks?

Have you tried their skincare before?
