The new E.L.F. Aqua Beauty Cushion Eyeshadow Palette ($12.99) has my attention today. Anyone remember the E.L.F. Aqua Beauty Blush & Bronzer Palette that launched with the E.L.F. Aqua Beauty Collection in Spring 2016? Looks like these new eyeshadow palettes take on the same interesting formula as those blush/bronzer palettes!
At the moment L’Oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara ($9.99) is being called the next Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara which doesn’t mean much to me. Why? Because I hate Better Than Sex Mascara! From the metallic pink packaging to the hourglass shaped applicator, Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara definitely has a a few of the same characteristics as Too Faced’s cult favorite mascara.
There’s a major difference for me though.
The Lorac Beauty and the Beast Makeup Collection unexpectedly launched today at Ulta.com! Who even knew Lorac was doing another Disney collobration because I didn’t have a clue! Surprise! It’s a little late perhaps but I suppose they are celebrating the release of the movie on DVD which could account or this unexpected but still delightful collection of Belle inspired makeup that includes an eyeshadow palette and other goodies.
Let’s take a look!
NARS Orgasm Lipstick ($28) joins the Orgasm Collection this Summer as a permanent shade in the NARS Satin Lipstick formula. If you read my blog you know I’m a massive Orgasm fan! I love the blush with all my heart and have since collected everything NARS has released in the shade. Until recently, the thing missing from my little stash of Orgasm was a lipstick and I’m happy to report that NARS now has one!
Tarte Lid Lock Clay Eye Base ($21) is a new “eye foundation” or or matte eyeshadow primer that the brand recently released for Summer 2017. This isn’t Tarte’s first venture into the world of lid primers as they have had Colored Clay CC Eye Primer Stick, Tarte Colored Clay Full Coverage CC Eye Base, and a host of other formulas over the years.
This new formula comes housed in a pot and to my knowledge Tarte hasn’t yet released an eyelid primer in a pot but feel free to correct me if I’m forgetting something.
Let’s take a look at my review and swatches below.
