Too Faced Pineapple Glow Moisturizing & Brightening Face Mask & Triple Scoop Hyper-Reflective Highlighting Palette Coming This Summer

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

Some strange part of me wants to try the new Too Faced Pineapple Glow Moisturizing & Brightening Face Mask even though I know how poorly formulated the Too Faced Glow Job Radiance-Boosting Glitter Face Mask is.

You see, I’m a massive fan of Herbivore Brighten Pineapple Enzyme + Gemstone Instant Glow Mask so some part of me is like what if Too Faced’s formula is some hidden brilliant diamond in the rough! Pineapple extract are a great source of enzymes and they happen to gently exfoliate skin. And that’s exactly what this masks does. It uses lactic, glycolic acid, and a combination of lemon, apple, and pineapple to gently exfoliate skin which results in a brighter, smoother look. Apparently it also smells like pineapple! The only thing that does concern me is lemon and how much lemon is actually in this formula as that could be harmful to skin.

This mask will get added to the Tutti Frutti Collection shortly which means it’ll be available at Ulta and Ulta.com.

For highlighter fans there’s also a new highlighting palette being added to the collection!

VDL Now Available at Ulta but No Eyeshadows Palettes in Sight

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

VDL Eyeshadow Palettes are life! They create some really gorgeous eyeshadow palettes especially around Pantone season! Have you seen their nod to Pantone Color of the Year 2019 Living Coral? They did a gorgeous coral palette.

I’m happy to report VDL is now available at Ulta.com but I’m really sad to say I don’t see a single eyeshadow palette in sight! I hope this doesn’t mean Ulta won’t carry them as I really think the palettes are where VDL shines.

A lot of base products are available such as foundation, primer, and powder but very few color options. Maybe they’ll add more shortly. I have hopes! For now one of their most awesome options are available which is the Satin Veil Primer that gives skin a glass-like finish!

It’s nice to see this Korean brand at Ulta! Ulta really has taken on K-Beauty in a major way where as Sephora seems to have fell off the K-Beauty trend.

Of course, VDL is no newbie to the US market. Over a year ago they launched their own US site but I still love the idea of it at Ulta as it feels more accessible this way. I hope Ulta continues to add new items from VDL in the future.

The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser Might Be Great For Us Dry Skin Folks

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

Did you know our bodies naturally produce squalane? It’s pretty much a natural oil that everyone’s body produces but as we get older we have a lot less of it. We can get in more of it through diet as well as application of certain products and skincasre that contain it. It’s a moisturizing ingredient well worth adding to your regime! Recently, Beautylish’s Good Molecules range released a 100% pure squalane oil that can be added to your daily or nightly routine. It’s a great way to seal in all your products as the final step in your skincare routine.

You can also get your daily dose from the Ordinary’s 100% Plant-Derived Squalane as well as their new Squalane Cleanser!

The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser ($7.90) is a gently, highly moisturizing formula that removes makeup and leaves skin feel hydrated and smooth. And you guessed it, Squalane happens to be one of the first ingreidents it contains along with water and glycerine.

I recently started using squalane oil in place of rose hip and I’m liking the results. I feel like the formula seals in moisture very well which makes me curious about this cleanser as I’m one that always feels quite dry and stripped after cleansing! At this price, it’s worth a try right?

Squalane, Water, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Glycerin, Sucrose Stearate, Ethyl Macadamiate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Sucrose Laurate, Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate, Sucrose Dilaurate, Sucrose Trilaurate, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Isoceteth-20, Sodium Polyacrylate, Tocopherol, Hydroxymethoxyphenyl Decanone, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Malic Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, Chlorphenesin.

The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser is available now.
