5 stars out of 5

EcoTools 360 Ultimate Blend Kit ($16.99) is a new trio of densely packed makeup brushes for blending foundations, concealers, and cream or liquid blushes. I picked this up on a whim last month from Ulta.com and I’m every soft happy I did as I’m loving this set at the moment. I think it deserves mentioning I was pretty disappointed with the Ecotool Complexion Collection that launched in 2015. Those brushes didn’t quite live up to what I was hoping for.

These new Ultimate Blend Brushes though are exactly what I was hoping for though and I may go ahead and pick up a second set with my Ulta 20% Off discount.

Here’s the deets on this set!

4 stars out of 5

Almay Lip Vibes Lipstick ($7.99 or Buy 1, Get 1 50% Off) are a new, permanent range of lipsticks that the brand released for Fall 2018 in 24 shades. I mentioned in a prior post I did on these how much these look and felt like the Sephora Lip Stories Lipstick that launched several months ago and after getting the shade I purchased I have to admit I still have the vibe going on. These are pretty cute and obviously quite fun for Almay.

Like many brands, Almay is trying to attract a younger demographic and I think this packaging will help that along. Because, let’s be real, Almay hasn’t really made any real effort to update their packaging in years and it’s pretty much straight forward and sterile. There’s nothing fun about it. However, Lip Vibes Lipstick does bring colorful cardboard wrapped barrels with names fun, funky names splashed across the front like “Dance Now”, “Treat Yourself”, and “Go Wild”. Not to mention they also launched some alternative shades like a bright yellow and an icy blue!

Olay Clay Mask Sticks and Essence Mists Launch

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

Olay Clay Mask Sticks and Essence Mists arrive this week. Olay has introduced three new masks sticks to their skincare collection as well as two essence facial mists for the Fall 2018 season. I thought it interesting they are getting into the stick skincare trend which seems to have died off a good deal! But I’m sure we’ll see more stick skincare as drugstore beauty brands start launching their Fall line ups which seem very lately this year!

These new mask sticks remind me of Tarte Frxxxtion Stick 3-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser that I really love! Maybe they’ll prove a good dupe?
