Urban Decay Troublemaker Eyeshadow Palette ($39) arrives at Ulta.com today with 10 sultry shades of shadow plus a travel-size Troublemaker Mascara. This is an interesting assortment of shades if you’re tried of the typical nude roundup we’ve been getting from brands lately. There are warm reds here, smoky metallic grays, and color shifting shades as well.

Shades:

• Bailout (pale warm nude matte)
• Riot (deep metallic copper)
• 7&7 (medium terra-cotta matte)
• Relish (rich warm red matte)
• Clash (soft white with micro-shimmer + blackest black matte)
• Knockout (chocolate brown matte)
• Girl Crush (metallic berry)
• Bankroll (metallic deep green with gold micro-sparkle)
• Afterhours (soft black satin with iridescent micro-sparkle)

The palette was apparently inspired by Jac Vanek’s style and outspokenness and contains some hidden quotes on the edge of the case which not everyone is exactly a fan of but Urban Decay dubs it as “adding just the right amount of trouble” to the palette. Hmmmm….!

Urban Decay Troublemaker Eyeshadow Palette is available now at ulta.com.

Kat Von D Metal Crush Extreme Highlighter Palette ($36) arrives for a very limited time on November 21st and 22nd for Rouge and VIB Members at Sephora.com. Everyone can get their hands on it starting November 23rd.

They are dubbing this a “super-limited edition” release so, I guess don’t sit around and wait on it. Buy it as soon as it launches to avoid FOMO. Insert me mentally rolling my eyes here.

The palette includes three metallic shades with a formula inspired by Kat’s Metal Crush Eyeshadow in Thunderstruck which has a hyper-reflective finish with micro crystals that sparkle and shift.

Physicians Formula The Healthy Lip Velvet Liquid Lipstick ($6.99) is a new liquid lipstick that’s launching at drugstores for Spring 2018 in eight shade selections. Wait, what? A liquid lipstick from Physicians Formula in eight shades!? yup! That’s right! Physicians Formula isn’t exactly known for launching a larger range of shades. Their product launches typically include two perhaps three colors of any one product. The fact they are launching eight shades of anything is a pretty major deal.

I think they actually might be launching a more permanent line of products for Spring 2018 since they commonly do a good deal of seasonal releases many of which get discontinued and replaced with something similiar but in new packaging.

They are also launch a new Healthy Foundation in eight shades as well. Now that’s really unusual right?
