Neutrogena Sheer Smooch Lip Oil ($7.37) is a new lip oil that contains Vitamin E, Camellia Seed Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil and Jojoba Oil. It’s been my mission to try and and all lip oils since Milani introduced Lock Oil Infused Lip Treatment a few years ago. I just love the idea of a hydrating lip oil since I’m prone to drier lips. But I haven’t quite found an holy grail one as of yet so, I keep trying out new ones as they launch.

Neutrogena released a few new products exclusively Walmart items and Sheer Smooch Lip Oil is one of those items. It’s available in four shades and each one will set you back seven bucks and some change. I’d like to throw it out there and say that’s crazy expensive for this product due to lack of pigment and formula issues.

Why am I getting all sorts of Urban Decay vibes from Maybelline Dream Urban Cover Full Coverage Foundation SPF 50? Urban Decay has used “Urban Defense” in a lot of their products and when I saw Maybelline’s new Dream Urban Cover Full Coverage Foundation I was like, “Ooo how very UD of them!”

I’m pretty impressed with the SPF level in this new full-coverage foundation however, I’m always on the fence with my foundation or moisturizer contains SPF. I prefer applying my own to be honest as I’m never really sure I’m applying enough when it is built into a formula. I mean, how much foundation do I need to apply for accurate coverage? I don’t apply a lot of foundation! Just a smidge down the sides of my nose and blended out. There’s no way I’ll get SPF 50 from that amount! So, yup, I sure do appreciate the high level but I likely won’t get the protection I need from it.

That being said this sounds intriguing but I always feel like full-coverage works best in the Fall or Winter and not so much in the Summer when most people tend to go more natural and lighter with coverage. They do promise a natural finish and I don’t doubt it as lately even the most pigmented foundations really do have a soft, demi-matte finish that look very natural! I’m curious to see if Maybelline’s new formula lives up to their lightweight, breathable finish promises!

Maybelline Dream Urban Cover Full Coverage Foundation SPF 50 is available in 17 shades and $12.99.

I picked up Summer Fridays R + R Mask ($52) about two months ago because for some reason or another the line is very appealing to me. I still haven’t quite figured out the mystery of what it is that intrigues me about this brand as I did review the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask and it was fun to use, it smells great, but I didn’t feel it was doing anything super beneficial for my skin. This didn’t really swap me from indulging in the R + R Mask though!

Is it the fun name? Is it the chic tubes that look so fantastic on my bathroom vanity? I dunno but I have some odd pull to this brand!

L’Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Les Macarons Scented Liquid Lipstick are launching at drugstores now and they smell just like macarons apparently. L�Oreal isn’t new to the scented liquid lipstick world as they created an Infallible Pro Matte Chocolate shades that were chocolate scented a year or two ago!

Available in seven shades these are infused with an almond, vanilla, and cream fragrance and flavor and come in bright, fun shades of pink, peach, orange, and nudes for the Summer 2019 season! The coverage is a matte in finish and promises full-coverage with all day wear.

I wasn’t really a fan of the Infallible Pro Matte Chocolate Collection because the colors were difficult to wear! These shades seem brighter and perhaps a little easier to wear! I have to admit the big draw is the macarons scent!

Maybelline SuperStay Ink Crayon Lipstick ($9.49) are bringing back good vibrations from makeup years past. Remember when Maybelline was all about chubby lip pencils? It seems like ages since anyone has done a chubby lip pencil! I know I was obsessed with them at the time! Actually, I still am!

Maybelline SuperStay Ink Crayon Lipstick are the newest lip pencil collection to enter the scene this Summer. It’s a little slow in the drugstore world for makeup releases in my opinion. Also, many brands have migrated their latest launches online versus stores. Physicians Formula, Wet n Wild, and quite a few others have taken to launching all their newest items and collections online. I personally hate that because I don’t like waiting for shipping nor paying for it or having to reach a threshold to get it. It’s a pain. I’d rather walk into Harmons and have a look at what’s news, pop stuff into my cart, check out, and go! No shipping costs, no waiting, it’s an ideal situation for me when it comes to drugstore makeup! But those days are sort of long gone and the latest and hottest launches can’t be found in stores as quickly anymore.

Maybelline SuperStay Ink Crayon Lipstick hasn’t reach stores yet and is available at Ulta.com thus far! Or at least that’s where I’ve seen them!
