Bare Minerals BarePro Longwear Lipstick Collection ($20) has arrived just in time for Spring 2019 in twenty shades and they bring back plenty of good makeup memories. Remember how slim lipsticks were all the rage several hundred years ago when dinosaurs roamed the earth. They were so chic and modern compared to our squat, chubbier traditional lipsticks. I remember the first few I owned and they made me feel terribly sophisticated and worldly.

I must have done a lot of growing up since that time as after I spent $34 on Hourglass Confession Ultra Slim High Intensity Refillable Lipstick I felt more broke than sophisticated haha!

I’m happy to see this new range of Bare Minerals Longwear Lipstick as I’m a Moxie Lipstick fan. I think maybe some of you likely already tried the BarePro Longwear Lipstick formula as it might have popped up on QVC already!

I haven’t as of yet. It’s apparently a gel formula with a softer matte finish that they market as being sweatproof, kiss-proof, waterproof (or cocktail-proof as they call it)! The matte finish does worry me as my lips are dry but count me curious none the less!

Anyone try the Bare Minerals BarePro Longwear Lipstick yet?

For the first time in a really long time I actually relaxed in front of the TV. I got home at 9pm and by the time I took my clothes off, washed my face, did my little skincare thing, and fed my furbabies I decided to prop myself into bed and watch some TV. I’m still trying to get through the last few episodes of Sabrina but I wasn’t really feeling it last night and I ended up finally watching the Miniaturist on Masterpiece. I was really tired last night and I thought I’d do one episode and maybe finish it off at a later time but one episode turned into the entire three. I was a fan of book and it was interesting watching it unfold on TV. As always, PBS did a wonderful job recreating it. Anya Taylor-Joy looked flawless in it. She had the creaminess skin, the perfect rose glow on her cheeks, she was just flawless.

Anyway, after I binged all that I really should have went to bed as my alarm is set for 4:30 AM but of course, I had to start fiddling around on my phone and one thing led to another and my fiddling let me to Ulta’s website and the Ofra x Francesca Tolot Gilded Face Palette. Don’t ever go browsing late at night when you’re tried because you’ll find yourself making really bad decisions about stuff you don’t need like me trying to add the Ofra x Francesca Tolot Gilded Face Palette into my palette totally knowing I just wanted it for the two highlighter shades. Man, those gorgeous bright corals may just be worth the $49 price tag but I’ll never use the bronzers.

As the clocks struck nearly 1:30AM I thankfully regained my common sense and didn’t order the palette but it was touch and go there for a second.

Ofra, won’t you release those lovely shades as singles?

I’d buy them!

Lorac Unzipped Sheer Silk Lipgloss ($18) are a new lipgloss that launched with the Lorac Spring 2019 along with three new Unzipped Eyeshadow Palettes.

I get on pretty well with Lorac Lipgloss and really like their Alter Ego Lipgloss formula as well as the many, many seasonal lipgloss sets they do which are such a great value.

When they launched four shades of this new Unzipped Sheer Silk Lipgloss it was tempting to purchase all the shades because I knew the formula would be great not to mention I was really like the nude, natural shades. The only thing that prevented me from indulging was “sheer” in the title. How sheer?

Pretty sheer sadly. Darn it! This is such a beautiful formula but I do so wish it had a touch more pigment!
