Bare Minerals The Bare Metals Ready Eyeshadow Palette ($40) is a new Ready 14.0 Palette that launched late last month which takes on the Summer metallic trend we’re seeing more and more of. This palette is filled with 15 Ready Eyeshadow shades in both new and repromoted shades in both matte and metallic finishes.
Let’s take a look at my review and swatches.
News flash! As you age your skin looks that plump, plush baby soft feel. If you have drier skin this happens a lot quicker than we are all willing to admit. I keep my skin plump, plush, and well hydrated with one of the skincare world’s greatest products….
Thanks to Kris for telling me that Benefit Lemon Aid is in stock at hsn.com. As you know from my prior post, Benefit Lemon Aid is discontinued and it’s disappeared from Ulta and Sephora’s websites. But never fear, Benefit Lemon Aid is available, alive, and kicking temporarily at hsn.com so, grab it before it disappeared.
I admit, I’m terribly guilty of hauling a few pots before it is gone for good.
By the way, are you excited about the revamp of Boi-ing and Erase Paste? They are repackaging these and will launch them later this Summer. Boi-ing used to be my jam for a long time! Loved it! And now I’m kind of tempted to revisit it when it relaunches….!
P.S. Happy Hump Day! I’ll leave you with an ear worm:
The makeup industry is every evolving with new trends, product launches, and many creative and unique ways to capture your a makeup junkie’s attention and eye. There’s a certain pokemon mentality about makeup that has all of clambering to collect every single new release that pops up. Social media creates such a mad frenzy and hype around product launches that you can’t help but be drawn into it.
I’ve come to realize that I really don’t need every single eyeshadow palette that launches. Sure, I still purchase every single new release that launches because I review it on Musings of a Muse but if it was up to me and I wasn’t worried about the blog, I’d probably think twice about a purchase. There are a good deal of quality and formula issues lately and many other aspects that just make you want to break up with your favorite brands. Some of which don’t even have to do with formula but more about morals and how a brand interacts with fans or on social media.
Has any of this influenced your feelings about a certain brand you loved?
Which makeup brands have you broke up with and why?
I came across the new Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Filtered Light Setting Powder and Kora Organics Noni Glow Face Oil and had to ask myself how many facial oils and face powders do I need anyway? I was pretty close to ordering the facial oil but code LETSGLOW at Sephora.com got me a Free Sample of it during my recent order. SCORE! Saved from ordering a full-size when I really don’t need another facial oil stash.
