The limited and anniversary edition of Becca Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter is available today at Sephora.com and arrives June 15th in stores. This soft white gold pinky peach highlighter s a fan favorite not only because of Jaclyn but also because of the gorgeous luminous glow it adds to skin.
The special edition version comes housed in a rose gold compact and is embossed with a bottle of bubbly. You probably don’t need it if you already have a full-size of in your stash at the moment as I always find that Becca’s highlighters literally last me forever since they are so pigmented. But if you’re a Jaclyn Hill fan, well, that’s another stories as I’m sure it’ll be a must! Not to mention the cute little champagne bottle embossment is adorable.
Jacyln’s collaboration is one of the few I really enjoyed! The Champagne Pop Face Palette and Champagne Splits Shimmering Skin Perfector Mineral Blush Duo are a favorite of mine!
You can indulge in Becca x Jaclyn Hill Anniversary Champagne Pop now at sephora.com.
I imagine it’ll sell out fast so grab it while you can!
Play by Sephora the Iconic Edition is a new $20 box that includes a luxury line up of deluxe samples of makeup and fragrance from some high-end brands like Tom Ford, Dior, Burberry, and more. Unlike the Play by Sephora Subscription Box that’s $10 a month the the Sephora Play Iconic Edition Box is a one time purchase.
Odd?
Agreed. I think maybe they might just be testing the waters with this box and see what sort of interest in garners before perhaps launching it as a monthly subscription addition to the $10 Play Box. I personally got tired of Play because a lot of the samples were items I had already tried and nothing new or unique enough to warrant keeping the subscription. I’m unsure of the Iconic Edition will grab my attnetion either but it might be worth exploring since it is only a one time purchase. But I can’t help but think I could use the $20 towards something else versus some deluxe samples I’d likely get at a high-end counter anyway.
I’m torn.
Do I or don’t I buy it?
If you’re curious it includes makeup from Guerlain, YSL, and Burberry plus La Mer Skincare and Tom Ford and Dior Fragrances as well as an exclusive Iconic Guide and Collectible Gold Bag.
Get it now at Sephora.com.
Tarte Sweet Tarte Fragrance launched about a week ago and is being marketed as the brand’s first ever fragrance. I quickly purchased it and fell in love. It’s quite a gorgeous mix of sweet and musky notes with touched of gorgeous vanilla. It starts out bright, zippy, and sweet but it ends up becoming very sultry and sensual. It’s sadly limited edition which apparently is code word for it’ll be around a long time and probably go on sale in a month. No, but seriously, hopefully it is around for a while because I really like. Although, I’ll be the first to admit the sudden venture that Urban Decay and Tarte has been making into both skincare and fragrance lately leaves me slightly confused. I know Chanel, Dior, and a host of other high-end brands do both skincare, fragrance, and color cosmetics and it doesn’t seem odd at all. But for whatever reason it feels strange and out of place when Tarte or Urban Decay suddenly starts doing it.
None the less, here we are. Now Tarte is insisting that this is their first fragrance ever and on their website the description reads, “Our first-ever fragrance captivates in a convenient rollerball, infused with sustainably-sourced Madagascar vanilla for a refreshingly sweet essence.” I took them at their word because I can’t recall a time that they had a fragrance but many of you clever ladies and lads were quick to correct me and say no way! Tarte has had a fragrance before.
The new Urban Decay Naked Heat Eyeshadow Palette arrives just in time for the warm, sizzling days of Summer with a selection of twelve brand new Urban Decay Eyeshadows. Mind you Naked Heat is far from being naked as this palette contains a selection of smoking browns, reddish oranges, and sizzling hot sienna shades. It’s an interesting release since it toes the line at being both a Summer and Fall 2017 launch considering the shades are quite versatile for either season.
Urban Decay Naked Heat Eyeshadow Palette launches for pre-order June 12th on the brand’s website and will be officially available June 30th with online retailers like sephora.com and ulta.com getting it July 10th online and July 13th in stores.
This is a very appealing palette to me as I favor warmer shades. I especially like them because they remind me of autumn and falling leaves.
Let’s take a look at my review and swatches below.
