NARS Orgasm Blush Special Edition

It’s true! NARS Orgasm is getting a super size upgrade for Summer 2016! The new NARS Special Edition Orgasm Blush that’s available for a limited time in a 0.28 oz size for $39 (nearly double the size of a regular NARS Blush).

NARS Orgasm has long since been a holy grail blush shade for me! It’s one of the blushes that convinced me I look best in peach blushes! So, of course, total no brainier that I’m excited about a large size of it. Because we all need bigger Orgasms in our life.

Lancome L'Absolu Rouge Velours

I seriously hate all matte liquid lipsticks except Lancome Lancome L’Absolu Rouge Velours Liquid Matte Lipstick! They get a pass! Please, would someone tell the beauty trend world to stop with all the long wearing soul and moisture-sucking, long-wearing liquid lipsticks! They are brutally harsh on my drier lips!

I just can’t apply a matte liquid lipstick in the morning and wear it for 12 hours. Nooooo! It’s not only dry but difficult to remove, difficult to reapply, just difficult everything!

That’s why I’m now a fond fan of Lancome L’Absolu Rouge Velours Liquid Matte Lipstick!

Etude House Berry Delicious Color in Liquid Lips Juicy Review & Swatches

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

Etude House Berry Delicious Color in Liquid Lips Juicy2

Etude House Berry Delicious Color in Liquid Lips Juicy is a new, limited edition fluid gel lip stain that launched with the Etude House Berry Delicious Collection for Spring 2016.

I tend to avoid Etude House’s lip stains. Well, really, I mostly avoid Korean lip stains in general as I find their formulas terribly drying. But that didn’t prevent me from purchasing five of the Berry Delicious Color in Liquid Lips Juicy shades. I guess I’m a glutton for punishment but I had to try these.
