Too Faced Glitter Bomb Eyeshadow Palette is on the way for Summer 2017. Wait, can we have a second to finish up how we feel about the Natural Love Eyeshadow Palette first? No? Ok, moving on I guess.

Update: This is available today at Sephora.com.
I swear things move way to fast in the makeup world lately.

As we head into Summer, Too Faced goes glittery with this new eyeshadow palette that contains a darkening and a brightening base shade as well as eight glittery eyeshadow shades. Although, I have to admit a quick look at this photo and they don’t look too glittery disco ball like thankfully. But you can never tell when it comes to Insta-photos! For a brief moment, the entire palette reminded me of Urban Decay’s Moondust Eyeshadow Palette. Glittery metallics, shimmers, and bright shades seem to be trending for Summer looks and it’s probably a relief to many people who are tired of the endless nude eye looks and heavily contoured and highlighted faces we’ve been seeing lately from many brands.

See the palette below!

Ecotools has launched three new, limited edition makeup brush sets, Prepped for Change, Eye Am Courageous, and Glow For It, in collaboration with the Glamour The Girl Project. The Girl project supports global efforts to help girl’s finish their education and give them a safe passage to school with donations that help fund tuition. School is something a lot of people that for granted. It’s also something that we see as a chore sometimes. But imagine not being able to afford it or even living in a country where as a girl you wouldn’t be offered the option to further your education. That’s where the Girl Project comes into play. Ecotools will be donating $1 to the Girl Project up to $100,000 from purchases of their new brush sets which will help girl’s all over the world to finish their education plus help with tuition as well as school supplies, and more.

So, if you’re in the market for some new makeup brush sets you can feel good knowing that your purchase will help benefit and empower girls.

I have my little eye on J.One Jelly Cream and J.One Black Jelly Pack because I suddenly I started using J.One Jelly Pack a few months ago and it’s became my go to Gloria Swanson facial primer.

There may be moments after application where I stare into the mirror, with my head tilted back, and I mutter to myself, “Alright, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up…” Seriously, J.One Jelly Pack is like what sellotape is to Hollywood. It’s like instant lift glue in a bottle. It’s tacky, sticky, and takes some getting used to but it literally smooths and firms skin in a rather dramatic way. At first I hated it but I’m gotten used to it over time and I actually really like it. If you apply it correctly it’ll give skin an instant lift and makes it quite smooth. I wouldn’t say I have a loss of elasticity yet but I feel like I’m developing marionette lines and this makes the skin around my mouth look so much more lifted and smoother. If you are experiencing loss of elasticity this is an excellent primer to pick up!

Anyway, that’s the reason I want to try the J.One Jelly Cream and J.One Black Jelly Pack!

The Sephora Berry Kissable Brush Set and Wild Bunch Sponge Set might be a hint at a Berry cute Spring Collection to come. Earlier this morning, the Wild Bunch Sponge Set ($16) arrived on their site packaged up in an adorable strawberry carton that includes four bright red blending brushes. There’s also a new Sehora Berry Kissable Brush Set ($48) brush set that features a cute selection of makeup brushes that have strawberry ice cream printed handles. You get five brushes that come packed up into a lip-shaped pouch that includes a Foundation, Angled Blush, Crease, All Over Eyeshadow Brush, and Double-Ended Brow Spoolie. P.S. Is it me or do the bristles look like they have a tinge of red? Imagine if they smelled like strawberries too? OMG! Bringing my Strawberry Shortcake childhood back to life!

I have hopes that this cute berry selection of products might mean they’ll release an eyeshadow palette in reddish and pink shades. Everyone seems to be embracing red eyeshadow lately and I can’t get enough of it as typically such a color seems reserved for Asian brand releases and it rarely makes an appearance in the Western market. Earlier last month, Colourpop releases a stunning red themed collection and also, Sugar Pill’s adorable Feline Fancy Set embraces red not to mention the lovely Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Eyeshadow Palette. I hope we’ll see more red this year.

Do you like the red trend?

So, I hated the NYX On the Spot Brush Cleansing Pad. I’m so sorry. I’m wondering if the Sephora Polish Up Silicone Brush Cleansing Pad might catch my interest? I have my doubts because I love my Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette so much. NYX’s version was a little difficult to use for me and I didn’t love how the fit was in my hand. I liked that the Real Technique’s version had a little bit of a well to it that I could splash my brushes around it as I scrubbed.

You can slide this on your hand and buff away but the lack of a well means you might lose some suds and cleansing gel as your work. But hey, NYX is cheaper at $10 bucks where as Sephora’s version is $14.

As for me, I’m sticking with my Real Technique’s version!

How about you?

What tools are using to clean your brushes?

Have you tried the Sephora version? Or the NYX one? What did you think?

Do share!

Between you and I, what I really NEED is one of those Lilumia 2 Makeup Brush Cleaner Device. It’s the Jorge Jetson of makeup brush cleansers! Totally does the work for you with the click of a button.
