MAC Hint Of Colour Lip Oil ($17) has arrived at Ulta and I say better late than never. Ya know, doesn’t lip oil sometimes feel like the trend that never goes away? Don’t get me wrong, I love lip oil! Give me ALL the lip oil for my dry lips! But it seems like a trend that constantly gets regurgitated at least once ever other season.

Like we’ll head into Fall and one says anything about lip oil but suddenly Winter Collections launch and some brand, some where is trying to make lip oil a thing. After that, things go radio silent and we had into Spring without a whisper of lip oils. Suddenly, Summer arrives and again, someone is out there in the beauty world trying to make you buy lip oil.

And hey, I’m ok with that because I generally like lip oils. Milani helped put the formula on the map in 2016 with the launch of their Moisture Lock Oil Infused Lip Treatment and soon after we saw a slew of different formulas like E.L.F. Tinted Lip Oil, Hard Candy Blooming Lip Oil, Ulta Juice Infused Lip Oil, Burt�s Bees Tinted Lip Oil, and many, many, many others.

I always thought of mermaids as being little magpies! Maybe because Ariel made it seem like mermaids were hoarding away every little sparkly trinket, shiny object, and massive statue that sunk to the bottom of the ocean while singing that song about having gadgets and gizmos a-plenty and not caring but she totally wanted more.

So, maybe magpie is too nice a description for mermaids! Maybe hoarder is the real definition here. Picture it, “On the next A&E Hoarders, we dive below the ocean depths and join mermaid, Ariel, in her watery home where she’s unable to swim, locate an exit, or even perform daily mermaid-y tasks anymore because she’s collected so much junk in the past several years it is impossible.

So, you wanna be a mermaid? Tarte Spring 2018 brings you a new Minute to Mermaid Brush Set and other mermaid essentials to get you started on your journey to becoming a mermaid.

Our story started with the launch of the Tarte Be a Mermaid & Make Waves Eyeshadow Palette but since that early launch the brand introduced several brand new tools, skincare, and makeup launches all inspired my that legendary creature, the mermaid. I remember seeing Splash for the first time. I think I was 8 or something like that and it stuck with me all through my childhood. I truly wanted to be just like Daryl Hannah! Rumor has it they are doing a remake with Channing Tatum I wonder if that’ll ever happen!

Whether you’ve always wanted to be a mermaid, have just been fascinated with this mystical creature, or if even if you’re just damn tired of the mermaids and unicorns, you’ll find some magic in this collection I’m sure.
