The larger Clinique Crayola Box sadly never came back in stock but just a heads up the smaller one is now available and on sale for $12.50 at Sephora.com. It would make a nice first say of school gift for a tween or younger girl or boy in your life who loves makeup.

This set includes four Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Colour Balms in Fuzzy Wuzzy, Brick Red (dark red), Melon (sheer natural pink), and Mauvelous (sheer berry pink).

Happy Shopping!

I hate to admit it but I’m running out of room to store my makeup and beauty but I’m so guilty I’m trying to find hundreds of new ways to make it more accessible, pretty to look at, while being affordable. I’m constantly at Home Goods looking through their assortment of storage boxes, units, etc…to see what deal I can score for makeup storage. Last week, they had this incredible wooden drawer unit that was $119. It was relatively small but had very long drawers. It would have been great to pop in my closet but the shade stopped me from buying it. It was a god awful aqua that didn’t go with a damn thing.

Oh well!

You win some, you lose some.

Here are some other inexpensive and affordable ways to store your makeup!

Dior Diorskin Forever Undercover Concealer is my second high-end concealer disappointment of the Summer. This is marketed as a waterproof formula that’s highly pigmented with a “fresh” matte finish that won’t settle into lines nor crease or crack.

The formula is promoted as having a hydrating formula with lasting wear. As with all my concealer purchases, I tested this under my eyes as that’s where I need concealer the most. I have drier, finely lined eyes with puffiness. Typically my eyes look tired even when I had plenty of rest so I rely on concealer to make my eyes look more awake and brighter. A few weeks ago I purchased Bobbi Brown Instant Full Cover Concealer and I liked the formula well enough but I experienced issues with the applicator which really ruined the overall experience and application for me. Dior’s formula actually didn’t have an applicator issue but the formula sadly, didn’t do it for me.

I am very happy to report the new Perricone MD No Makeup Instant Blur I’ve been hearing rumors about has launched today at Sephora.com. This is a new weightless balm primer much like my beloved Mally Beauty Poreless Face Defender (or any other dupes like it such as Revlon Photoready Prime + Anti Shine, E.L.F. Studio HD Mattifying Balm, Stila Stay All Day Prime & Anti-Shine Balm, Covergirl Tru Magic Skin Perfector Mattifier, etc…etc…etc…).

Being a very happy Perricone No Makeup Makeup user I’m excited to try this out and compare it to my beloved Mally formula. Like Mally, this is a transparent balm that can be used on bare skin to create a smooth appearance or as a primer for makeup. Typically, Mally’s version is applied over makeup but it looks like Perricone’s version might be for use under makeup. It acts to blur the appearance of pores, lines, and uneven skin surface and sets the canvas for smooth makeup application.

Perricone MD No Makeup Instant Blur is a bit more expensive than Mally’s version at $55 but considering my great love of the Mally formula I’m more than willing to check out Perricone’s version to see what it does for my skin.

It’s available now at Sephora.com.
