I thought for sure the MAC Star Trek Collection would fly off shelves but MAC x Selena will likely be the makeup collection that sells out in minutes of launch! This new collobration between the brand and Selena Quintanilla’s family includes a selection of lipstick, eyeshadow, gloss, and more all in shades that the star has been known to wear herself.

Take a look!

Splash Your Way to Hydration with this New Mask from Boscia

Boscia embraces the Korean Splash Mask trend with their new Tsubaki Splash Mask and I can’t wait to try it. What’s a splash mask? It’s kind of the lazy girl’s guide to masking on the double. Splash masks are available in a wide variety of liquid formulas that address a variety of different issues. Splash masks typically come in a small bottle or a pump bottle. To use them, you pump or pour a small amount of the mask into your bowl or sink full of water and you literally splash the mixture onto your face a few times. Basically, the same technique you’d use to rinse your face off.

After, you’ll let your skin air dry to absorb the mask.

See? Simple!

Sephora App Only More Than Meets the Eye Eyeshadow, Blush Palette, and Lipstick Set for Holiday 2016

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

The Sephora Blush, Bronzed, and Ready to Glow! Face Palette, Kiss & Makeup Lipstick Pencil Set, More than Meets the Eye Eyeshadow Palette, and a few other Sephora Holiday 2016 Sets and Palettes launched today on the Sephora App and will be exclusively available “only on the app” from 9/14 to 9/15. It’s hard to believe these won’t be available at some point at Sephora.com, the “only on the app” might imply that they are launching these sets and palettes exclusively there for the next two days and will likely be in stores and at Sephora.com at some point this month or closer to the Holidays. It does say they are online only launches.

I was very tempted to indulge in the Sephora Blush, Bronzed, and Ready to Glow! Face Palette!

Here’s a look at the three sets that caught my eye. There’s also a brush set and a few makeup bags as well.

Too Faced The Chocolate Shop Review & Swatches

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

The Too Faced The Chocolate Shop ($59) is one of several gift sets and eyeshadow palettes that are part of the Too Faced Christmas in New York Holiday 2016 Collection. I felt compelled to indulge in this set during the Sephora Holiday 2016 Preview Event because hello? I live in New York and as far as I’m concerned there’s no place like it for the Holidays 🙂

Another selling point for me is the fact it’s scented like chocolate. My downfall is actually Cadbury Chocolate from the UK but aside from that I’m not really a lover of chocolate or the way it smells but the novelty of an eyeshadow palette that smells like chocolate, well, I dunno something about it tickles me. Earlier this year, Too Faced launched their Sweet Peach Eyeshadow Palette and many of us got into a discussion about Too Faced potentially doing more scented products. So, at least I’m not alone here in the fact that I kind love the idea of scented makeup!
