Talk on the Bath & Body Works front recently is that the newly formulated Bath & Body Works Black Cherry Merlot does in fact smell like the hand soap. Slay me, I die. Honestly, I’m all for Bath & Body Works releasing more candles that smell like their hand soaps! Yes, please!

Black Cherry Merlot was released last year in the Cork and Vine Candle Collection and there was much excitement and buzz surrounding it because so many people love the hand soap version. For me the hand soap smells like kindergarten! Seriously, one of my first memories of going to school was the cookies and fruit juice they used to give us and if nothing at that’s exactly what the hand soap smells like. Oh, not the cookie part, the juice part! It’s beyond sweet with a mix of delicious cherries and other fruit notes.

Now, the candle was a crushingly disappointing! It smelled nothing like the hand soap! Le sigh!

I got my greedy little hands on the Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow Palette ($49) and squealed in delight at all the glitter! The Moondust Eyeshadow Palette launched with the Urban Decay Fall 2016 and includes eighty glittery eyeshadow shades that will leave your lids with a sparkly mess of absolute joy.

Yes, there’s fall out. Yes, there’s lots of glitter. Yes, there’s sparkle. No, this isn’t for the glitter/shimmer haters. Yes, this is for those of us that like to sprinkle shimmer on our corn flakes in the morning! Yes, you should insert wacky, “Hey girl! Is that glitter on your eyelids or do you just naturally sparkle like that?” memes here.

I’m actually a lover of the original Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow formula but I realize it isn’t an eyeshadow that everyone loves. From the glitter to the denser formula I think Moondust Eyeshadow is an acquired taste which is why I was surprised that Urban Decay went with an entire palette’s worth of the formula. Also, keep in mind, Urban Decay has been rather tame lately with all their “Naked” releases. The Moondust Palette might be a prelude of daring, vibrant things to come from Urban Decay who has been playing it safe the last couple of years. If I’m right this is great news for the color addicts out there.

Something that does deserve mentioning is the fact that the single Moondust Eyeshadow shades and the ones found in the Moondust Eyeshadow Palette are quite different. I find the singles are much more denser where as the ones in the palette are considerably more softer and dare I say they look like they have even more glitter than the originals.

Let’s take a look!
