The word on everyone’s lips at the moment would be It Cosmetics Confidence In Your Glow. Confidence in a Glow is a new blush, bronzer, and highlighting palette that’s being added to the It Cosmetics Confidence Collection.

It all started with Confidence in a Cream and more recently, Confidence in an Eye Cream, and more recently, It Cosmetics started venturing into makeup with this collection by releasing Confidence in a Compact. And now we have color cosmetics too with the launch of these new blushes!

Let’s peek them!

Urban Decay Meltdown Makeup Remover Cleansing Oil Stick ($26) is one of several new Urban Decay Skincare products that launched for Spring 2017. This is actually a rather unique and interesting cleansing oil sticks from goes from balm to oil as you apply and massage it on your face. It acts to remove makeup, dirt, and oil with a mix of sunflower seed oil and vitamin e.

Last year, beauty stick everything was taking over our life. There were cleanser sticks, primer sticks, etc…etc…..! There was just a whole like of beauty stick everything going down. The idea of a cleansing stick made me break out into a cold sweat to be honest because it seemed messy also, kind of gross right? I mean swiping on your face and recapping? Just seems a breeding ground for bacteria. Apparently, that’s not the case though!? But I still find it a little odd. Although, I will say Tarte’s Frxxxtion Stick 3-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser went a long way at changing my mind about cleansing sticks.

Let’s take a look at my review and thoughts about Urban Decay Meltdown Makeup Remover Cleansing Oil Stick.

Lorac Pirates Of The Caribbean Cheek Palette ($30) arrives just in time for the Summer with a selection of Color Source Buildable Blush shades and Light Source Illuminating Highlighters.

This palette is part of the limited edition Lorac’s Pirates of the Caribbean Collection inspired by the new movie that’s launching in May. When I originally saw the palette’s promo images I wasn’t sure if I needed or not and even after getting in my hands I still wasn’t sure if it was something I needed. Because as much as I love the Color Source Buildable Blush formula, this also included a good deal of highlighters which I felt I wouldn’t make much use of.

Let’s see how I feel now!

I have a super soft soft for color changing lipsticks so when I noticed Kiko Ph Lip Enhancer ($14) pop up with the Summer 2.0 Collection I was all, “Oh I need that in my life!” I know, I know, how much pH Lipstick does one girl need in her life! But who can resist?

Here’s thoughts and review on Kiko’s Ph Lip Enhancer!

Bobbi’s new Lip Art Art Stick Liquid Lip launched earlier this Spring in a variety of delicious shades (Hello, those ones with the Havana Brights Collection look divine!). I haven’t actually tried them yet because I’m not convinced I’ll love the squeeze tube packaging! I actually thought they were packaged like the Clinique Chubby Plump & Shine Liquid Lip Plumping Gloss in the fact you twist/click and color releases into the applicator. But ahhh nope! They are actually a squeeze tube which for some reason seems messy to me.

So, I haven’t quite gone there yet to try ’em. The semi-matte formula is apparently quite creamy from reviews I read and has a good wear (not sure about that 8 hours Bobbi Brown promises but the wear is good from what I’ve heard).

If you’ve been wanting to try them now is a good time to do so as this new Mini Art Stick Liquid Lip is available at Sephora.com. I included this one in my top makeup and beauty picks for the Sephora sale because it’s $22 bucks plus the additional 15% makes it an even sweeter deal.

You get English Rose in this set which is a nude and Uber Red which is a bright red. These are 0.07 oz in size, so plenty to try before you indulge in a larger size!

Pretty nifty deal right?

P.S. I’m dying for an iced vanilla macchiato today. Oddly enough, I am NOT a coffee drinker but I have a craving for a macchiato from time to time and today is one of those days. Anyone willing to go grab me one?

Will pay in free makeup 🙂
