Benefit Beauty & The Bay is a new Holiday Value Set that recently launched with the brand’s Holiday 2017 Collection and contains three full-size products as well as one mini. This sets focus point is a full-size Benefit Hoola. All of a sudden I feel like Clark Griswald! Shall I sing Mele Kalikimaka for you? Hoola does that to a girl. Did I ever tell you that the very first Benefit Box o’ Powder I ever tried was Hoola?

If you’ve been a Benefit collector and fan for a long time I bet it was yours too. It’s an rite of passage to buy a box of Hoola and a bottle of Benetint because they are probably two of the brand’s most talked about products.

Well, this new set gets you one of those and a few others of my favs like a full-size High Brow Highlighter & Lift Pencil! With the many, many beauty products I use it is hard to hit pan on anything but High Brow is one of those products I’ve used to the nub on several occasions. I like using this right above my eye socket to brighten the area up. It also provides a nice brightening highlight for the brow one area.

What else is inside this kit?

Don’t forget to set your alarms because Colourpop launched at Sephora tomorrow! They started listing a few more items on the site and I see that the Super Shock Shadow are up for $5 each however, only three shades are available.

There are a good deal of exclusives as well such as the coveted Golden State of Mind Palette! It looks like a lot of the exclusives are a bit more expensive than the regular Colourpop range. But the permanent items appear to have the same prices. So, some good news and some bad news there.

Most people were concerned that the prices would be higher and in some cases they are right but that seems to be reserved for items available exclusively at Sephora not ones that are part of Colourpop’s permanent collection of products.

I’m not sure when these go live. Could be at 12AM EST or 3AM EST or 9AM EST but I’ll be on the look out for sure.

Anything you’re wanting to haul?

I’m hoping it doesn’t turn into some mad frenzy and everything sells out fast.

Shop Colourpop tomorrow at Sephora.com.

Winter Candy Apple, Vanilla Bean Noel, Twisted Peppermint and more of the Bath & Body Holiday 2017 Signature Collection has returned! Time to hoard away Vanilla Bean Noel and Twisted Peppermint for the zombie plague. Don’t sit there all innocent, everyone has a favorite that they buy like five or more bottles of to get them through the year until the next Holiday season.

Mine is Twisted Peppermint but I also really love Vanilla Bean Noel as much as the next girl. A good deal of favs have returned this year and there’s a brand new scents for the Holiday 2017 season too!

I sort of predicted we’d see the L’Oreal x Balmain Paris Lipstick Collection launch at drugstores after their debut on Barney’s. Yes, Barney’s New York was the first to get these new matte lipstick shades that were created in collaboration with Balmain Paris. Didn’t think you’d ever see L’Oreal Paris at Barney’s did ya? But it’s true! They were pre-booking these several weeks ago by now the line will be available to everyone starting November 11th at Ulta.com.

But if you want to touch them and see what they look like up close and personal you’ll have to wait until January when they debut in stores. I’m not sure at this point if Ulta is the only store getting dibs on the L’Oreal Balmain Paris Lipsticks but I have my doubts. I think they’ll make a Spring 2018 launch at drugstores across the board. Ulta Platinum Members can take advantage for one day only today and grab them online but they go back into hiding until November 11th for their official launch.

The shades are a whooping $14 each which is considerably higher than your typical L’Oreal Color Riche Lipstick shade at $8.99 testimony that drugstore makeup is starting to reach premium prices.
