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

The Wet n Wild Midnight Mermaid Fall 2017 Collection arrives today on their website and includes an entire range of gorgeous shades inspired by the dark, midnight sea. Honestly, they look more like a sea witch’s shades versus a mermaid’s but who’s counting right? This dark metallics are available in liquid lipsticks, eyeshadows, metallic eyeliners, and even a Mermaid Highlighting Bar to complete your look.

Earlier this year Wet n Wild released a Unicorn Glow Summer Collection that was sold at Ulta.com and included the entire Summer Collection and tomorrow (August 15th) they are doing the same with the Wet n Wild Midnight Mermaid Collection. You can haul the entire collection now on Wet n Wild’s website or wait until tomorrow to get your hands on the Fall Season in a Box which includes the entire Midnight Mermaid Collection for $34.99.

Kat Von D Handheld Mirror Is Vanity Worthy

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

The new, limited edition Kat Von D Handheld Mirror launched today at www.katvondbeauty.com and I’m shocked it’s still in stock! Because everything Kat launches lately seems to sell out in the blink of an eye.

This $18 exclusive mirror that’s available on Kat’s site only. Black in color and designed with Kat’s wax-sealed design emblem gracing as well as a hand-sketched design of stars gracing the front mirror this lovely goth piece will look gorgeous on your vanity.

It’s pretty affordable so I’m wondering how weighty it is because at under twenty bucks I’m imagine plastic but it’s still vanity-worthy!

Kiko Fall 2.0 Featuring Creamy Matte Foundation

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

Kiko Fall 2.0 has arrived and with it a new Creamy Matte Foundation as well as some fantastic metallic eyeliners, eyeshadows, and more.

I’m most curious about the Kiko Creamy Matte Foundation as I know matte sounds horrifyingly dry but lately matte foundation looks pretty darn good on my skin. Maybe it’s the extra shine and oil from the Summer sun or maybe matte foundations have become a little more sophisticated because I’m kind of digging them lately. Tarte Shapetape Concealer was a matte finish that surprised me as it totally works well under my eyes without caking, looking dry, or creasing into my finer lines.

The new Kiko Magnetic Eyeshadow also caught my eye. Does anyone remember those MAC blackened pressed pigments from a few years ago? God, completely have a Monday moment and forgot the name of them but these new Kiko shadows look a lot like them.

I’m also terribly curious about the Kiko Extreme Lipgloss! I’m hoping it’ll be a cheaper dupe of my beloved Dior Addict Lip Maximizer High Volume Lip Plumper!

Let’s take a look!

Maybe Burt’s Bees New Blush Is In the Burt’s Box

There’s a new powder Burt’s Bees Blush coming this Fall to drugstores and I can’t wait to try it! I think I’m going to order the Burt’s Box in the hopes that it might be inside.

The Burt’s Box is a limited edition, one time beauty box that gets you exclusive access to eight brand new products from Burt’s Bees. Unfortunately, the contents are a surprise! Apparently, the box contains eight full-size products as well as four additional items that can be used with the eight. I assume that might bean the four additional are tools or brushes of some sort!

The contents are valued at $125 but the box is $65.

I ordered one in the hopes it might contain the new upcoming blush!

Fingers crossed.

You can get yours at www.burtsbees.com.

Berdoues Collection Grands Crus Coffret Review

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

I am very pleased to share a review of the new Berdoues Collection Grands Crus Coffret with you today! I’m a fond lover of niche fragrances as you know and recently the House of Berdoues launched at Sephora. Sephora has been adding to their niche fragrance collection more and more lately and the best part about it is the fact that they launch a variety of different sets and coffrets like this one that allow you to experience all the fragrances from a particular house at a very affordable price.

I have a very tiny collection of Berdoues Bucoliques Tales scents that I purchased from the Arcades des Champs Elysées shops sometime ago but I’ve never had the pleasure of trying the Cologne Grand Cru selection of scents which are the ones you’ll be able to purchase at Sephora.com. The prices are considerably nicer at $85 for a 3.4 oz bottle compared to prices in France taking VAT into consideration. They are also very affordable by some niche standard pricing of $150 and upwards per bottle of fragrance which makes Berdoues a more affordable house. It’s always nice running across a niche brand that won’t cost you an arm and a leg yet still offers a unique selection of scents.

Like many French fragrances, Berdoues takes inspiration from nature with their notes in my opinion. Many of their scents to me are very green with softer floral notes. I probably like the Cologne Grand Cru scents so much because they remind me of Annick Goutal fragrances or the Les Hespéridées and Les Florales from Diptyque. Some of my favorite Diptyque fragrances come from the Florales and Hespéridées Collection of scents but they are quite weak which also happens to be the case with the Grand Crus ones. This makes me happy because I got to try all eight of them for $19! I was going to buy Vanira Moorea but now I feel like I can wait and buy it during the Sephora sale in November versus right this minute for full price.
