I purchased three shades of Too Faced Natural Nudes Intense Color Coconut Butter Lipstick during Macy’s 15% Off a few weeks ago and sadly, only one of the three shades arrives as the others went out of stock.

In some ways, I have to express relief that the others didn’t arrive but I know at the time I was disappointed they didn’t. But after trying this formula, I was like, “I’m ok with just the one shade!”

The shade I ended up with was Strip Search and honestly, this was the shade getting the worst reviews from what I’ve read. So, I guess in the defense of the Too Faced Natural Nudes Intense Color Coconut Butter Lipstick Collection (say that fast three times) I can’t really say, “Well these are crap!” but if Strip Search ends up being the norm for the formula, well, that means I can say hey, don’t bother.

The thing that bugs me most about this collection was the shades. I feel like out of the 10 shades they launched none are really truly good nudes for my skin tone. None of them seem the ideal shade for my tone. I felt for sure from the It Comes Naturally Collection that the lipsticks would be what got my attention most.

Sadly, it didn’t turn out that way.

I did a rather large Sephora order online during the Spring Sale but I also headed in-store and ended up walking out with a backup of my beloved Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Body Fragrance Mist in the larger 8.1 oz bottle. I have the 3.04 oz bottle and I’ve run through it dozens of times already since it is so small and so weak I literally hose myself down with it.

This is actually the first time I’m buying the larger bottle and didn’t even realize it was available. It’s expensive as sin at $32 but with the 15% Off I felt a little nicer about indulging.

If I’m honest, I’d indulge again even without a sale because I just love this scent.

The very stunning Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Natural Eyeshadow Palette has been extended by two more shades for Spring 2018. I already own the original shade release which contained all mattes and one shimmer. It’s a rather stunning little palette. The newer palettes contain a lot more shimmer which I’m perfectly fine with as that’s my finish of choice.

The shades are available in Light, Medium, and Deep shade selections which I would guess means that these are fitting for those particularly skin tones however, I am of the mentality that anyone can wear any shade no matter their skin tone.

The Deep shade is a bit of an oxymoron in the fact it is called “Les Beiges” but contains a selection of browns and golds 🙂 The Light should be very appealing to cooler skin tones as it contains a nice assortment of plums, mauves, and lighter pinks. And of course, the Medium shade which has been readily available since last year.

I think all three are gorgeous and they should be very appealing to higher-end makeup users.
