5 stars out of 5

I picked up the Julep Cushion Complexion Concealer & Corrector Stick on Amazon and I’ve been using it daily for the past month. It’s my new favorite concealer of the moment and I highly recommend it if you have finer lines, drier eyes, or just need a lightweight, easy to blend formula.

Beauty I’m Overconsuming at the Sephora Savings Event

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

Sorry not sorry but here’s all the makeup and beauty I’ll be overconsuming at the Sephora Savings Event without regret! As you know the sale starts Friday for Rouge Members and gets you 20% off your total using code SAVEMORE (no worries, VIB and BI you can shop too but starting April 8th) and I’ve of course, used my own helpful little hack which is placing every single item I want in my cart. My cart has like $50,000 (dramatized and inflated dollar amount for effect) worth of beauty in it and hell no, I’m not hitting submit on it. I always find it help to do some super dumb cart during the week of the sale and each day I end up deleting stuff as I realize I don’t need it.

That being said, there are a few items that I’m not saying no on. And even one or two I want a backup of or more shades of. Here’s the beauty I’m overconsuming during the Sephora Savings Event. Judge me if you must.

4 stars out of 5

Sephora Collection Blush Blush Blush. Cream & Powder Palette ($18) is a new blush compact featuring a cream, satin, and shimmer shade of blush and is sort of a One/Size Cheek Clapper dupe of sorts. This style of blush has been getting a lot of traction lately as not only has Sephora attempted duplicating but we also, have the Revolution Beauty Blush Icon Palette and Morphe Cheek Thrills Multi-Finish Face Trio that recently launched. I haven’t tried the Morpe version but I did purchase two of the Revolution Palettes and quite liked them! I picked up one of the Blush Blush Blush. Cream & Powder Palette on a whim! I was actually sort of having a weird FOMO issue as I felt for sure these would sell out when the Sephora Spring Savings Event starts on Friday as at that point you can get them 30% off. I wasn’t sure how popular they’d be so I was like eh, I can afford to just try out one.

I think I also got excited that Sephora finally updated their collection. I feel like they have been pretty slow launching products to the Sephora Collection in the last few years. I remember looking forward to their launches but nowadays not so much. I’m impressed they dropped not one but Sephora Collection Blushes for Spring/Summer 2025.

I’m Buying Not One But Possibly 3 Bottles of Quai St. Barts Detangling and Frizz Fighting Leave in Conditioner

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

Remember how I was trying to turn you onto Quai St Bart yesterday? Well, here I am influencing myself. We’ve been literally begging for Quai to release a leave in that smells like the St Bart’s scent and we got one! But only for a limited time…! WHY!?!?!? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! I’m crying. Quai St. Barts Detangling and Frizz Fighting Leave-In Conditioner is available now for a limited time. Quai took their popular Leave-In Conditioner and added the delicious St Bart’s scent to it. It detangles, hydrates, fights frizz, and protects hair plus it adds the delicious tropical scent of St Bart’s into the mix.

Your hair will smell like notes of dragon fruit, orange blossom, tuberose, and Baltic amber. I’m so here for that. A 4.2 oz bottle is $30 and I’m already putting three of them in my cart to grab when the Sephora Savings Event starts on Friday. I don’t care. I need to have a little stockpile just in case this either sells out or never returns to the face of the planet again!

Quai St. Barts Detangling and Frizz Fighting Leave in Conditioner is available now!

Hard Candy Ring Pop Lip Stains Can’t Be Purchased at The Bodega

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

One of the most inventive makeup releases I’ve seen recently has to be the new Hard Candy Ring Pop Lip Stains. Yes, I gave Too Faced grief for launching a lipgloss ring with their Holiday 2024 Collection but Hard Candy is getting a gold star from me for releasing a Ring Pop Lip Stain. THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD!

You didn’t grow up New York if you didn’t hit up the local bodega and grab an orange drink (all us New Yorkers sitting around like, WTF is an orange drink!) ahem scratch that I meant to say…..You didn’t grow up New York if you didn’t grab a quarter water, a ring pop, and a pack of fake cigarettes (they were gum and you could literally puff smoke out of them! If this was around today it would be so politically incorrect!). Ring Pops were such a major part of my childhood. I remember never wanting to actually lick/eat them but just wanted to wear them like the precious jewels they were.

Hard Candy is bringing back our childhood with these new Ring Pop Lip Stains.
