Ready 8.0 fans rejoice there’s a new one available exclusively at Nordstrom. The Bare Minerals The Bare Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette for Summer 2016 is a new warm selection of Ready Eyeshadows!

This one includes:

• Serendipitous (delicate peach)
• Satin Cloud (creamy peach)
• Air (satin taupe)
• A-Ha (brown sugar)
• Cognac (gilded bronze)
• Namaste (sandy brown)
• Fate (light mocha glaze)
• Wanderlust (brown suede)

With the introduction of the Neutral Attractions and The Nature of Nudes, I felt sure Bare Minerals was headed in a new direction with their Ready Eyeshadow Palettes. But I must admit I’m glad they are still producing Ready 8.0 Palettes because I really do enjoy them.

The Bare Minerals the Bare Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette is available now at Nordstrom.com.

Clinique Pep-Start HydroBlur Moisturizer ($29.50) and the upcoming Pep-Start 2-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser arrive for Summer 2016 and join Clinique’s Pep-Start Eye Cream.

Pep-Start 2-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser is not yet available but Clinique Pep-Start HydroBlur Moisturizer is at Sephora.com. This moisturizer apparently not only acts as to hydrate skin but also acts as a primer of sorts for makeup. It was created with all skin types in mind and provides lightweight hydration while it instantly blurs imperfections and smooths skin while controlling oil. It sets to a matte finish but still promises to keep skin moist and hydrated throughout the day so fine lines and pores are softened and smoothed.

I wasn’t a fond fan of Pep-Start Eye Cream. I thought it was very nicely moisturizing but the many promises it made such as depuffing eyes just wasn’t happening for me. I’m hoping the new Pep-Start HydroBlur Moisturizer might work for me but I’m always skeptical of matte finish products created with dry skin in mind. They just never quite work out. The formula kind of sounds like L’Oreal Miracle Blur Instant Skin Smoother Finishing Cream which I happen to like so, maybe I’ll enjoy Clinique’s formula as well!

What do you think?

P.S. How was your weekend? Mine was exhausting. I truly hate Mondays with a passion!
