The Too Faced Tutti Frutti Watermelon Collection featuring the Watermelon Slice Face and Eye Palette launched today at ulta.com and I may have squealed a little. Too Faced hasn’t really thrilled me all that much lately but I have to admit to loving the Tutti Frutti Makeup Collection! I really loved the blushes from this collection and those highlighter sticks oh my! I found it interesting that the Too Faced Tutti Frutti Collection keeps going on and off sale! At the moment the entire collection is 40% off plus the Rack has a few odd pieces for $10. I’m mentioning this because it felt like they were gearing up to launch something new and I was right!

The first item to catch my eye was the Watermelon Slice Face and Eye Palette but it sure does look like the Tarte Sugar Rush Sweet Slice Eyeshadow Palette doesn’t it? The contents are def different but the watermelon design is spot on the same!

Hmmm interesting!

Anyway, let’s take a peek at the Too Faced Tutti Frutti Watermelon Collection!

5 stars out of 5

Makeup Revolution Conceal & Hydrate Radiance Foundation with Hyaluronic Acid is a new hydrating foundation that’s available in 50 shade selections which is infused with Hyaluronic Acid that acts to smooth and plump skin while moisturizing skin and allowing it to retain moisture without adhering to drier areas.

Hi there! I have dry skin so, obviously Makeup Revolution Conceal & Hydrate Foundation was created with folks like me in mind! Although, they do make another version which you might have tried already called Conceal & Define Full Coverage Foundation which is a matte finish version of this formula. I have that version and I like it a lot! It’s actually has a softer demi-matte finish that I thought applied and looked very smooth. I actually really like it and I’ve been using it since it launched a few months ago along with the Conceal & Define Full Coverage Concealer which also has a new hydrating version available that I reviewed yesterday called Conceal & Hydrate Concealer!

But hey, I’m all about a newer hydrating version! I can get on board with that!

Anastasia Beverly Hills x Jackie Aina Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

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

Anastasia Jackie Aina Eyeshadow Palette is a new, limited edition 14 shade eyeshadow palette that was created in collaboration with Anastasia Beverly Hills and youTube Beauty Guru, Jackie Aina. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to pick up the Anastasia Beverly Hills x Jackie Aina Eyeshadow Palette because the shade range reminded me so much of what I already have in other palettes from the brand! I mean, it feels like the Norvina Eyeshadow Palette and the Riviera Eyeshadow Palette that just launched and which also had a lot of purple and pink in it and when I looked at Jackie’s palette all I was seeing was a lot of purple.

I think you have to see this palette in person to appreciate it because although it does seem to look like what you might already have or it might appear to be a “purple palette” it’s actually not what you expect or at least it wasn’t what I was expecting.

The palette has an interesting split with purples and pinks the left side and more warmer neutrals on the right but the two sides can easily meet and mesh up together to create a variety of different looks. I think it’s a very Fall friendly palette as well. The colors are very bold and vivid! It’s truly a beautiful selection of shades.

The Body Shop Carrot Cream Nature Rich Daily Moisturizer is Back and Several Other Cool Picks from The Body Shop!

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

I dunno if anyone remembers the Body Shop Carrot Cream but it sure was lovely. Back in 2011, Carrot Cream and several other skincare favorites from the 90s was reintroduced part of the Body Shop Originals Collection. A lot has changed since 2011! First off, Carrot Cream used to be in a bit old pot now it comes in a squeeze tube! Yay for new packaging! Secondly, it’s got a name change so, I wonder if the formula is different too? Before it was just “Carrot Cream” now it’s called Carrot Cream Nature Rich Daily Moisturizer. Along with that fancy new name we got a price increase. It was $8.99 and 1.69 oz for a pot now it’s $20 for a 1.69 oz tube. So, let’s hope for a better formulation that’s worth those extra bucks!

I remember to re-release very fondly! It was thick, creamy, yet quick to absorb and very hydrating! The new version contains organic carrots and promises to provide 72 hours of hydration while protecting skin against daily aggressors. I’m wondering if it is the same great formula!

Anyone try it?

Speaking of carrots…! There’s also a new Carrot Wash Energizing Face Cleanser ($17) cleanses skin leaving it clean and smooth.

Here’s some other new makeup and skincare available at the Body Shop!
