Who’s Trying NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer?

NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer ($30) finally arrives this week at Sephora.com and I’m scrambling to get my hands on it. We heard about this new creamy all matte concealer back in November and I’ve been biding my time until it hit Sephora to grab up a few shades.

Why am I so excited about a matte concealer? I know right? With my dry eyes you’d think I’d avoid it but Tarte Shape Tape proved me wrong about matte concealers so, hopefully NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer will do the same. But what I’m really excited about is the fact that I have high hopes that this might just be a dupe for my beloved Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer.

Yves Saint Laurent Eye Gloss Smudger for Spring 2017

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Eye gloss has been trying to make a come back for the past 7 years so, maybe Yves Saint Laurent Eye Gloss Smudger for Spring 2017 might finally get us to some sort of pinnacle where people are actually embracing the glossy eye look.

Now, don’t get me wrong here, as this isn’t your average, everyday eye gloss product. This is actually a glossy top coat that takes your ordinary powder eyeshadows and makes smudges them into a glossy, grungy look. Yeah, so, I dunno how many people are into that “I sleep in my eye makeup and now I look like Courtney Love” look but if that’s your bag, this new Eye Gloss Smudger is for you.

Here’s how it works.

Do your eye makeup as you would any old day! Now dab a bit of the eye gloss smudger on top and gently diffuse your eye look with it. The gloss acts to smudge up your eye look and gives it that uneven, grungy effect. Good look? Possibly. I’ve seen models sport it and it looks amazing! I’m not sure if I could rock the look but I’ve tried eye glosses in the past that have color and they look pretty cool. This particularly formula isn’t tinted but it does give you the option to create a glossy look out of any of your existing powder shadows which makes this very appealing.

How do you feel about the glossy eye look?

Is it a look you’d sport?

Do share!

Yves Saint Laurent Eye Gloss Smudger is available now at nordstrom.com.

$20 and Under Perfume Sampler Sets Worth Hauling!

Oddly enough there are a good deal of new perfume sampler sets popping up at Sephora.com and all of them are $20 or under. Gotta love that right? I say odd because typically you’ll see these sets start to pop up around Christmas. I think perhaps we’re seeing a flow of them now due to the fact that Valentine’s Day is around the corner. I’ve gotten some really interesting Valentine’s Day gifts in my time but I don’t think I ever had anyone gift me fragrance for the Holiday. But beauty brands tend to push it for the holiday for some reason or another.

The good news is you don’t technically have to wait for a boy or a girl to gift you these sets. They are quite inexpensive and well worth picking up and gifting yourself! This is a great way to try some nice fragrances on a budget.
