5 stars out of 5

The Floral Street Discovery Set ($19) arrives with all eight of the house’s fragrances tucked into little 0.05 oz mists that allow you to try these lovely scents before you buy them. This British brand’s entire fragrance collection is now being sold at Sephora.com much to my delight. Made up of 20% perfume oil the scents are quite long lasting, lovely, and unique.

I don’t really migrate to flower blends personally but I have a very deep love and appreciation for the Nest Fragrance Collection and I do think Floral Street is a pretty similiar house of fragrances. If you like Nest, you’ll most definitely love Floral Street.

Urban Decay Stay Naked Correcting Concealer Review & Swatches

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.
4 stars out of 5

Urban Decay Stay Naked Correcting Concealer ($29) is a new lightweight concealer that promises full-coverage with a matte finish and a second skin-like feel that wears long and strong without creasing.

I have not met an Urban Decay concealer that I’ve fallen in love with. As far as I’m concerned the concealers that UD has released up until now have been ok but not keepers for me. I just don’t think they excel at concealer formulas. It’s not really their area of expertise. Have you met an Urban Decay concealer you can’t live without? I can’t say I have.

And guess what?

Urban Decay Stay Naked Correcting Concealer isn’t a love either but it is a very strong like.

Maybelline x Ashley Longshore Loyalist + Pioneer SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick Kit Arrive for Fall 2019

Maybelline x Ashley Longshore Loyalist + Pioneer SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick Kit have launched and even though I hate the formula I simply need these as an Ashley Longshore fan girl.

If you take the St. Charles Streetcar and drop off in the Garden District you can walk a few blocks past the Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 to get to Magizine Stree but you might to sit a spell, spend time at the Karstendiek Family tomb you might just see a famous vampire lurking there. Or wander over to the Mayfair Witches tomb perhaps they’ll offer you a nice potion to revive a long since dead one! Don’t forget to take a peek in the Garden District Bookstore before leaving for Magazine Street! Tucked on the shelf with the Anne Rice novels you’ll find a book of photos and memories of the many Anne Rice launches and signings including ones of her funeral because if nothing else we all want to have a jazz funeral am I right?

Walking a few blocks in the Nawlins heat isn’t my favorite past time and even though there are many trees in the Garden District for shade and the beautiful buildings will take your breath away it still feels like that small walk is a rather long one. Thankfully enough once you arrive at your final destination many of the shops have air conditioner. Phew! But the street is long and it runs for six miles. Some people actually do the entire walk because the antique and vintage shops are just so worth browsing one at a time. Magazine Street is probably one of the more unique shopping locations you’ll find in the city. Of course, there’s always Uber but you’ll miss out on all that beautiful scenery!

Among those shops you’ll find what looks like a little white one story house with a glittery pink sign hanging from it that says “Ashley Longshore”. Ashley may very well be our own modern day Andy Warhol with her bright colored pop culture pieces of art. All the pink, glitter, and loud vibrant shades are very appealing to my girlish good nature. I have a very small print I purchased several years ago that hangs in my kitchen pantry. It cost me a kidney but I do so love it.

I hate Superstay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick with a passion. It feels so tacky and sticky not to mention matte and the long-wear just isn’t for me because I want to remove it as soon as I apply it. But since Ashley designed the packaging on these new duo sets I must have them!

There are two sets available each is $18.98 and includes two full-size liquid lipsticks!

The sets are:

Ashley’s lovely gift sets are available exclusively online at Ulta.

I do believe I need both!
