Mally Love at First Sight 7 Piece Kit gets an early QVC Today’s Special Value release today at qvc.com and I snatched it up because it has concealer and you know how I feel about concealer! It also contains my favorite product in all the world, Poreless Face Defender, which I happened to be running low on and typically costs $40 so why not through an extra $20 bucks at QVC and get a ton of other stuff along with my purchase of the Face Defender right? This couldn’t come at a better time since I was planning to buy it with my 20% off at Ulta but this is a far better deal!

This set includes a full-size Poreless Face Defender along with full-sizes of:

• H3 Concealer
• Dark Circle Corrector
• Evercolor Shadow Stick Extra in Rose Gilt
• Evercolor Gel Waterproof Liner in Graphite
• Instantly Impactful Dramatic Lash Mascara in Black
• Kiss Me Lip Gloss in XOX
• Sponge and Makeup Bag

A blush would have been pretty awesome to complete the set but at this price I can’t complain especially since they are shipping free. I haven’t tried H3 Concealer yet even though it is near a year old. Mally released it last year but for some reason I never picked it up and now is a good time as any to give it a whirl.

Needless to say this is a killer deal!

Mally Love at First Sight 7 Piece Kit is available now at qvc.com.

I’ve been watching Supernatural since the pilot episode aired in the Fall of 2005. I’ve watched it grow and gain a massive cult following. I mean its werewolves, vampires, monsters, angels, a snarky King of Hell (well a once snarky but never forgotten King of Hell), his equally snarky witch mom, and of course, most important, two hot guys that take all of it on.

What’s not to like!? There’s also pie.

Needless to say we all have our fandoms and most of us as makeup lovers have the highest hope that at some point in our makeup life our favorite brands will take on our fandoms and create some killer makeup collection. In the past, just to name a few we’ve gotten MAC Wonder Woman, MAC Miss Piggy, MAC Hello Kitty, Too Faced Smurfette, Cargo Star Wars, Cargo Pirates of the Caribbean, Cargo Beauty and the Beast, and Covergirl Star Wars.

Even though a few mainstream fandoms have been taken on by brands there are so many of my own that will likely never have their own makeup collection (thank god for Etsy right?)!

As for Supernatural, well at the very least we got some Supernatural Eyeshadow Palettes and even some accessories (like Supernatural Perfume!). Yes, it’s true, there is indeed two different Supernatural Eyeshadow Palettes available. The quality remains to be seen but as a hardcore fan they are very appealing.

If the new Too Faced Life’s a Festival Collection is your jam you’ll be happy to know that Ulta Platinum Members get one day early access to the Too Faced Magic Crystal Lip Topper and La Creme Mystical Effect Lipstick today only!

The entire collection launches on 02/18 online at Ulta.com and arrives in stores on March 4th but for one day only Platinum (and Diamond) Members can score two of the lip products from the collection!

I’m not really into these in all honesty as duochromes never really look good on me but some of you expressed in an interest when I posted about the entire collection last week. I’ll likely grab the eyeshadow palette at the very least as I really liked some of the orange-y shades in it. But the lip products are holding very little appeal for me. They’ll likely look frosty on me and we all know how much I hate frost!

Too Faced Magic Crystal Lip Topper ($19) is a color shifting holographic lipgloss that can be used alone or over La Creme Mystical Effect Lipsticks or any lipstick to give it an iridescent holographic finish that has a color shift in different forms of light. It’s available in four shade selections which are:

• Unicorn (shimmering light blue duochrome with cool pink shift)
• Mermaid (shimmering mermaid tail green duochrome with lilac shift)
• Angel (shimmering pearl duochrome with soft coral shift)
• Fairy (shimmering light yellow duochrome with pink champagne shift)

Too Faced La Creme Mystical Effects Lipstick ($22) is a hydrating, conditioning lip balm with shifting staining pigments that have an iridescent, holographic finish. These also come in four shades which are:

• Unicorn (iridescent light blue, blossoms into cool shimmering cool pink)
• Mermaid (iridescent mermaid tail green, blossoms to shimmering deep lilac)
• Angel (iridescent pearl, blossoms into shimmering soft coral)
• Fairy (iridescent light yellow, blossoms into shimmering pink champagne)

Almay Make Them Jelly Hi-Lite is a super surprising release that’s available for one day only on sale for Ulta Platinum Members only. Ok, so, wait a second I think my head did a Regan MacNeil when I saw this! You have to admit it’s quite unusual for Almay isn’t it!? Who would expect them to go all Farsali Jelly Beam Illuminator on us!? Not to mention Almay is taking on the mermaid and unicorn trend!?

What!?

It’s definitely different for the brand but what comes as an even bigger surprise is the rather adorable packaging on these highlighters. Each highlighter comes housed in a rather adorable pink or blue container with a faceted bejeweled top. I’m actually somewhat tempted. Gasp! Shock! These have a jelly texture which they call innovative but let’s be honest here, Farsali did do it first. The highlighters provide an iridescent sheen in either pink (Shade: Unicorn Light) or blue (Shade: Mermaid Magic).

I’m a little surprised to see Almay headed down this path. I mean last Maybelline did introduce a rainbow highlighter and a Fairy Highlight Illuminating Powder in purple. And of course, Ulta released a Rainbow Highlighter and Wet n Wild did an entire mermaid and unicorn collection. However, one would expect to see such things from Wet n Wild but Maybelline? Almay? Not really. Especially Almay though who has always played it fairly safe with their makeup releases.

I will say they did a good job with the launch. The packaging is pretty sweet looking! I can’t speak for the formula but their marketing doesn’t seem to be too in your face with unicorns and mermaids aside from the names.

What do you think?

Yay or nay for Almay Make Them Jelly Hi-Lite?

These are $14.99 and available on sale today only for Ulta Platinum Members at ulta.com or get buy 1 and get 1 50% off.

Everyone else can get Almay Make Them Jelly Hi-Lite on February 18th at ulta.com and in stores March 11.

Too Faced Life’s a Festival for Spring 2018 brings us all things unicorn with a new Life’s a Festival Eyeshadow Palette, Unicorn’s Tears Magic Crystal Lip Topper, and other unicorn inspired makeup goodies.

Well…

You know I like to wade right in with my own personal commentary when it comes to these collections. I think many of you expressed certain trends and products you’d like to see killed dead in 2018 and one of them was most definitely unicorn makeup. For me, unicorn makeup is something that works best in a social media setting but likely not something you’re headed to work in. Don’t get me wrong, I’m of the mentality that makeup comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, and genders. It’s just that I outgrew unicorns and Lisa Frank in 4th grade. Now, that’s saying something because I’m the queen of cute. I love cute makeup but for some reason the unicorn thing comes across a little too juvenile.

I also feel like the unicorn trend is a beaten and dead horse at this point why are we reviving it yet again for Spring? The most annoying aspects of these collections is they are in fact created for social media. Too Faced seems to be heavily influenced by gaining a social media following particularly an Instagram one and the Life’s a Festival Collection as well as their recent Glow Job Face Mask is more about gaining new followers versus putting out a solid collection of products and makeup that beauty lovers will enjoy.

None the less, we live in a social media world and we are a prisoner of our own device.

In Too Faced’s defense, they are promoting this heavily as a “festival” collection. With colors inspired by good music and good vibes with a hint of unicorns thrown in. It’s sort of oddball to have unicorns thrown in with a boho festival type vibe but eh, weirder stuff has gone together before right? And unicorns were pretty big at Coachella last year!
