It Cosmetics Confidence in a Cleanser ($28) is a new hybrid facial cleanser and serum all-one formula that launched for Fall 2017 and is now a permanent part of the brand’s skincare collection. This is the fourth release on the Confidence Collection and getting quite a good deal of press and ravings at the moment.

I should start by saying I disliked Confidence in a Cream, didn’t like Confidence in an Eye Cream much either, but did love the Confidence in Your Glow Palettes.

I had hopes for Confidence in a Cleanser though. It sounds really great! Removes your makeup plus it acts as a serum of sorts to hydrate skin. Since I find a lot of different cleansers pretty stripping as they leave my skin tight after use, this formula sounded perfect for me.

Yes to Coconut Moisturizing DIY Powder-To-Clay Mask ($2.99) is one of several new clay facial masks the brand launched earlier this Summer which can be mixed and customized to your liking. Yes To seems to have the facial mask world covered lately with the introduction of a ton of different masks for lips, face, eyes, and even hands. They have really hit the facial mask trend hard and have covered all aspects and formula from sheet, to creams, and even sleep masks.

I have to admit most of what I’ve tried from the Yes To facial mask range has been a miss. They haven’t really created anything that I’ve wanted to re-purchase and sadly, the same holds true for this new Yes to Coconut Moisturizing DIY Powder-To-Clay Mask.

I really wanted to love it but it wasn’t anything particularly special.

Meet Benefit Punch Pop! Liquid Lip Colour which is totally bringing me back to the 90’s this morning. Think, think hard, what does the packaging remind you of? Does anyone remember when gum was such a huge trend in the 90’s? Bubble Tape, Razzles, Bubblicious…! I remember when I was 12 or 13 and there seemed like their was new, limited edition flavors of Bubblicious at ever turn. Gum felt like it was as collectible as cute lip balms when I was that age.

That’s exactly with Benefit Punch Pop! reminds me of! A big old pack of tooth-achingly sweet Bubblicious!

This creamy, cushion-y plush lip color give lights a pop of juicy color with a lightweight, creamy texture that contains hydrating Vitamin E. Benefit launched these in seven different playful shades each of which comes housed in a tube with a wand applicator to apply.

Shades:

• Watermelon (hot pink)
• Cherry (pinky- red)
• Strawberry (juicy red)
• Bubblegum (sweet pink)
• Sugar Cookie (mauve berry)
• Pink Berry (nude pink)

Pretty cool don’t you think?

I’m eager to try them out!

Benefit Punch Pop! is available now at ulta.com, benefitcosmetics.com, and coming soon to sephora.com.
