I have a friend, who will remain unnamed, that doesn’t shave all Winter long. Shame! I’m buying her a case of Pacifica Shave Whip ASAP! Honestly, I don’t knock her! I get it! Your legs are covered, it’s cold out, no one will see your fuzz, etc…etc….

Personally, I’m too obsessive to not shave my legs smooth but more power to anyone who’s comfortable enough to let it grow in all Winter long!

Pacifica Shave Whip are currently on my “to try” list! These are available in three scents, including kale because kale is everywhere lately, and have a whipped cream texture that gives you a super soft and moisturizing shave. They are $14 each and available in the following scents:

• Coconut Milk
• Sugared Flowers
• Kale Mint

These are brand new and exclusive to Ulta.com.

By the way, speaking of whipped cream, I think I need this whipped cream purse from Betsey Johnson. Be honest, would I look terribly stupid toting this around the city?! Honestly, it gave me an idea to put a chain around a can of Reddi-Whip. When the day gets stressed you could just pop the top and squirt some in your mouth and feel instant relief. For serious!

If you’re up for this kitch-y bag you can grab it at www.betseyjohnson.com and snap a pic of yourself with and tag me on Instagram. It’ll help me decide if I need it or not! 🙂

It’s Monday! Which is as good a time as any to add beautiful make to my wish list. The Pur Cosmetics Bling 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Powder Foundation ($34) is on the top of that list. How gorgeous is this? For their 10th Anniversary, Pur Minerals blinged their popular 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Powder Foundation Compact with beautiful crystals. The compact is perfect for whipping out for quickie touch ups. Isn’t half the fun of touching up your makeup in the bathroom whipping out some gorgeous compact that everyone just stops to gawk out?

This 4 in 1 formula contains an SPF 15 and acts as a foundation, concealer, and powder to set makeup! It’s $5 more than the original but I think it’s rather worth it.

Get it now at Ulta.com.

P.S. Is anyone as excited as I am about Suicide Squad!!? They released an extended trailer at Comic Con plus there’s that rather awesome Harley exclusive one as well. If you know anything about me you know I’m positively obsessed with Harley Quinn! I hope Margot Robbie does her well for me!

By the way, how was your weekend? Are you keeping cool? This heat is brutally beautiful. Have a good week! Talk soon!

Reuters reports today that L’Oreal brought It Cosmetics for a whooping 1.2 Billion dollars! Apparently, L’Oreal buying It Cosmetics is one of their largest acquisitions in eight years and the sale is a cash transaction according to a variety of news sources.

It Cosmetics launched an exclusive Ulta Brush Collection in 2014 and word broke earlier this year that It Cosmetics would be available at Sephora. It Cosmetics continues to grow on many different levels and one wonders what to expect to the brand once the sale goes through to L’Oreal later this year.

L’Oreal also recently acquired niche perfume house Atelier as well earlier this Summer. I find it very, very interesting L’Oreal is focusing their eye on indie and niche brands not to mention they also mid to high end brands such as Urban Decay, Armani, Maybelline, Clarisonic, and more.

It Cosmetics has a rather interesting cult following in my opinion. It’s a very popular brand on the Internet but if you ask someone about it on the street they likely won’t be entire familiar with it unless they are a hardcore beauty and makeup junkie. None the less, It Cosmetics has proven that a small company can very, very quickly turn into an super success story when they offer up quality products that are embraced and loves by the masses.

I look forward to seeing what new things we can expect from It once the sale goes through. I also hope this doesn’t mean things will change. I feel like Urban Decay’s formula has changed a little but since the L’Oreal acquisition. Hopefully it’ll be business as usual for It Girls and Guys!

What do you think of L’Oreal buying It Cosmetics?

If you haven’t already you need to head over to maccosmetics.com and sign up to become a MAC Select member! Why? Because MAC Select Members get first dibs on the sizzling hot Selena Collaboration that’s launching for Fall 2016.

As you already know MAC collaborated with Selena’s sister to create a makeup collection inspired by the singer. The collection will include some of Selena’s most worn shades like her iconic red lipstick shades as well as eyeshadows and more. The collection arrives in October just in time for Fall 2016.

MAC plans to reward Select Members by allow them to pre-shop the MAC x Selena Collection. If you’re either an Obsessed or Devoted fan you’ll have your chance to get your greedy hands all over the Selena Collection before the official launch.

If you don’t know already MAC Select is a new reward program that MAC launched at the start of the new year. It’s made up of three spending tiers that gets you a ton of bonuses such as free samples, shipping, early access to select collections like Selena’s, deluxe gifts, and more! Signing up is completely free and each level of the program is based off of purchases from $0 to $500.

MAC has plenty of limited edition collections, many of which sell out fairly quickly but I suspect Selena’s Collection will most definitely be one that goes quickly. Sign up now for the Select Rewards program and start raking up points so you can be one of the first to get your hands on the collection!

P.S. Have a good weekend! Try to keep cool! New York is getting some crazy hot weather but we aren’t alone as the heat is set to travel throughout the US over the next four days. Keep well hydrated, cool, and most important have fun whatever you do this weekend 🙂

Mattes apparently are back for Fall 2016 and this new Make Up For Ever Artist Eyeshadow Palette Volume 4 ($44) is filled with cool mattes, nine of ’em to be exact. I think one of the top rants I get when any new palette launches is, “Oh no not more nudes!” I get it, nudes have definitely dominated the market lately. But I’m one of those girls, that’s all like, “Oh I have 500 shades of brown eyeshadow but I should buy this brown eyeshadow anyway because it looks NOTHING like the other 500 I already have”. Yeah, my makeup life is filled with illogical excuses like that gem.

In cases like that I look to Ryan to make everything right with my makeup universe again. He brings me calm clarity.

Make Up For Ever Artist Palette Volume 4 isn’t about the nudes though! This is definitely a cooler round up of shades that includes taupes, purples, greys, and pinks! The shades are organized into trios to take the guess work out of pairing them up to create an eye look! Each one is 0.04 oz in size and the colors included are:

• Black (M-100)
• Grey Brown (M-620)
• Chalk (M-126)
• Wine (M-842)
• Antique Pink (M-806)
• Dark Purple Taupe (M-546)
• Prussian Blue (M-240)
• Milk Tea (M-536)
• Eggshell (M-530)

There’s also an illustrated step-by-step application guide!

Get it now at Sephora.com now. Might as well start prepping for Fall 2016 now right?
