It’s been a hot minute since Hourglass graced our makeup collection with a new lipgloss formula the Unreal High Shine Volumizing Lipgloss arrives in 18 shades and 3 finishes with a formula that acts to provide shine, moisture, pigment, and volume to lips.

The formula contains but shea butter and avocado oil while Haluronic Acid acts to retain that moisture and plump up lips for a smooth, fuller looking lip!

MAC Viva Glam 25 Lipstick is Available and I Have Hopes It’s Like Revlon Super Lustrous Love Is On Lipstick

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

I’ve never in my life have I used a red lipstick completely but I am down to the little nibble of Revlon Super Lustrous Love Is On Lipstick (as seen on my lips below)! It really is a stunning shade! I’ll be purchasing another shortly but I am quite curious how similar it is to MAC Viva Glam 25 Lipstick which I just purchased and I’m eagerly awaiting to arrive.

Viva Glam celebrates 25 years this year and they are doing up things all glittery and brilliant for their latest launch. Wrapped in glittery ruby barrel this brownish, blue-red hue is matte in finish and intensely pigmented. I do so wish it was a glittery ruby red shade though! Anyone else with me on that?

As always every cent of the selling price of Viva Glam Lipstick is donated to the MAC VIVA GLAM Fund to support the health and rights of people of all ages, all races and all genders.

MAC Viva Glam 25 Lipstick is $19.50 and available now!

Oh My God New Shades of Too Faced Fruit Cocktail Blush Duos Are Coming

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

Papaya Pop, Like My Melons?, and Berries & Bubbly are three new shades of the Too Faced Fruit Cocktail Blush Duo that are launching shortly at toofaced.com and ulta.com.

Oh my gosh I’m so excited! I loved these when they launched with the original Too Faced Tutti Frutti Collection last year! They are super pigmented and look fabulous on! The blush is a split pan which has a blush on one side and a sparkly highlighter on the other. You can combine the shades or wear them individually. A lighter hand is best because they pack some intense color!

I’m excited to see many of the new shades are peachy and coral! I’m all about peaches and corals for Summer so this is right up my alley!

The new shades of Too Faced Fruit Cocktail Blush Duos will be available shortly.

P.S. Game of Throne Spoilers ahead….!

I watched episode 5 last night and man, that was some disappointing sh1T. First off, I was majorly confused. I thought there were three more episodes left. For some reason, I was thinking S8 would have eight episodes but it’s only six. Wow! What a dumb mistake to make. Here I am thinking oh there’s so much more to go and in reality the finale is next week. Jeepers! Now I feel majorly rushed. This week’s battle was incredible. Praise the TV gods it was in daylight and we could see everything happening clearly!

Here’s where things sucked though…

The battle was incredible however, Dany’s spiral into madness probably happened a little too quickly for my tastes. Also, God bless Cersei! She just stood their emotionless for an hour of the episode and FINALLY had some emotional breakdown the last twenty minutes of the episode but even that felt like crocodile tears. Her demise was completely and utterly disappointing. I really wanted something horrific to happen to her. Call me cruel but Cersei was just someone that you felt needed to be put into her place. I’d have liked to see her and Dany actually fight it out. In the end, Cersei’s life was ended with a whisper and not with a bang.

This episode did lead me to believe that Dany will rule! As the mad Queen! I think she’ll be responsible for simply killing everyone off! We’ll see…we’ll see!

What’s your theory?
