NYX Lip Lingerie Gloss ($7.50) is a new lipgloss version of Lip Lingerie that gives color with a glossy finish versus the original long-wearing matte finish.

As you may know for Spring 2018 NYX launched three finishes in the popular Lip Lingerie Collection. The original formula started out life as a long-wearing matte liquid lipstick which is now available in this gloss formula as well as a shimmer and glitter version.

I’m not a fan log long-wear lipstick nor do I like mattes so I was pretty happy to see new finishes particularly a glossy version. At a glance I have to admit these instantly reminded me of Kylie Cosmetics Gloss. In some ways, the formulas even feel a bit the same as well as the colors although, NYX’s version seems a little thinner in consistency.

I’ve already reviewed the glitter version which I disliked so when I hauled out the glosses I wasn’t expected much but was delightfully surprised how much I enjoy them however, I did have one issue.

Becca Dreamsicle Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter is a new, limited edition shade that launched today which I admit to jumping on top of as soon as I saw it launched. Friday our discount kicks in and Rouge Members can start taking 15% off their entire purchase at Sephora and Sephora.com but I admit I didn’t want to play a waiting game with Becca Dreamsicle for fear it would sell out fast.

I know, I know you’re thinking, “But you hate highlighters…!”

I do! I really do! But I have a certain love for Becca’s formula not to mention this safe is a gorgeous tangerine with gold pearl how could I resist that?! Orange, peach, coral, those are my favorite shades! I had to have this, you get it right?

I’m already thinking of which shades of blush I can combine with this yummy shade to get a pretty orange-y glow on my face.

I’m looking forwarding to getting it.

Becca Dreamsicle Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter is available now at Sephora.com. My advice? Don’t wait for Friday! I think this one will disappear by that time. Hopefully I’m wrong about that and in some ways I hope I’m not as I’ll kick myself for buying it full price.

Are you grabbing it?

Hard Candy Look Pro Bare It All Foundation Stick is a new foundation and concealer stick that the brand recently launched with a $7 budget friendly price.

It seems like a lot of brands are launching foundation sticks for Spring/Summer and I’m quite ok with that as I find them very easy to apply, travel-friendly, and just an overall good choice for swiping on and going. I don’t wear a lot of foundation so quick swipe on and go works perfectly for me as I pay more attention to concealing under my eyes versus worrying about my foundation application which I tend to go more natural and sheer with. I feel like foundation sticks provide that sort of easy, light coverage without a lot of application effort.

I happen to be of the mentality that foundation is a splurge item as I find drugstore ones or cheaper ones aren’t that great. However, when I noticed Hard Candy Pro Bare It All Foundation Stick I didn’t hesitate picking it up. Why? Because Hard Candy has proven again and again and again they do know how to make affordable and high quality foundation and concealer formulas. Hard Candy Glamoflauge Mix”�in Pigment Makeup Drops and Hard Candy Heavy Duty Glamoflauge Concealer are just two such great products.

I’m having a love hate relationship with Hard Candy Look Pro Bare It All Foundation Stick at the moment.
