Earlier last month I shared the Revlon Photoready Insta-Fix Contouring Duo with you that includes a Revlon Photoready Insta-Fix Contouring Fix Stick as well as a highlighting stick! Now we have a two shade selection of Revlon PhotoReady Insta-fix Highlighter Stick ($13.99) available as well outside the kit! I actually spoke a little about how I thought they’d do an individual launch of this when discussing the contouring set earlier last month.

No surprise here right? Everyone’s looking to get their strobe on!

The Revlon PhotoReady Instafix Highlighter Stick is available in Gold Light and Pink Light and acts to add a touch of radiance and illuminate to your face with a creamy, easy to blend formula. I believe the Contouring Duo Set is available in three different shades of highlighter which is based upon skin tones where as these new sticks are only available in two shades.

Funny, they remind me A LOT of the Sonia Kashuk Chic Luminosity Highlighter Stick which also comes in pink and gold!

Revlon PhotoReady Insta-fix Highlighter Stick is available now at Ulta.com.

L’Oreal La Palette Lip are now available in two new shades of La Plum and La Pink. The original lip palettes launched earlier this year for Spring 2016 and honestly, I thought they were a one off. None the less I hauled both and actually really, really liked them. I’m not a fond lip palette girl as I find them messy but both were quite nice!

So sure, I’m excited about the launch of two new ones! The original palettes were $11.99 each at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and included five shades each. One was a nude selection and the other was a plum selection. As with many drugstore items lately, L’Oreal does raise the price alarmingly on these new version at $16.99 for eight shades. They are currently offered as Buy 1, Get 1 50% Off at Ulta.com but I have to admit I still winced at the price tag. Revlon recently priced their Eyes, Lips, + Cheek Palette at $17.99 each which I felt was a bit absurd. Seems like you really have to aim for sales and clip coupons to get a good deal at the drugstore lately! Maybelline’s Lip Palette which launched last year for $11.99 that turned out to be limited edition was a deal in comparison as it too, contained eight shades but was $11.99. It just boggles my mind a little bit how drugstore prices continue to rise.

But I’ll digress from my ranting and give you a few more deets on these palettes. Both palettes contains mix and match shades in three finishes that include creams, mattes, and highlighting/sheerer shades and each follows a pink or plum color scheme with the plum looking like it contains the more deeper shades!

I’m not sure I’m yet willing to dish out near $20 on a lip palette from L’Oreal but having tried the original ones maybe they can convince me.

What do you think of the new La Palette Lip shades?

I had a mild panic the other day when I came across E.L.F. Poreless Facial Primer in stores. Why? Because I thought to myself what if Revlon discontinued Photoready Face Primer. I’d be crushed, devastated, sad, possibly jump off a building in despair unhappy. Ok, slight exaggeration there but yeah, I’m pretty much a lover of Revlon Photoready Face Primer. E.L.F. primer just looked so much like it my life flashed before me without Revlon Photoready Primer in it and suddenly, I was all about finding a dupe!

When I saw E.L.F.’s Poreless Facial Primer sitting on the shelf, I thought to myself, “How great would it be if this was a six buck dupe of my beloved Revlon formula?” I’d sleep better knowing I had a back up just in case Revlon decided to axe it!

I’m positive AC is killing my skin as I’m currently pretty dry and tight. I decided to try out something new in the ways of exfoliating scrubs. Freeman Key Lime Face Scrub which sounds good enough to eat but please don’t do that. I’m positive if we ingest it there could potential issues. Same goes for eating lipstick, I really want to but I wouldn’t recommend it! I ate an entire tube of cherry Chapstick when I was a child and can’t recall having too many averse effects but I’m hoping my stomach is now lined with a pleasantly moisturizing barrier.

But yeah, my Chapstick eating binge is neither here nor there. Let’s chat Freeman Key Lime Face Scrub.
