Hype or Hit: Urban Decay Alice Through the Looking Glass Eyeshadow Palette

hypehitmakeup

So, by now you got your greedy, sweaty little palms on the Urban Decay Alice Through the Looking Glass Eyeshadow Palette! This one is packed with 20 vibrant eyeshadow shades inspired by the upcoming Alice in Wonderland sequel.

I’ve already reviewed it myself but I’ve been using it in daily looks in the hopes that I’ll somehow fall in love with. That hasn’t quite happened yet….! But I’m working on it.

Kind of.

Sort of.

Not really.

I expressed my dislike of the formula in my review as the eyeshadows don’t quite measure up to what I know from Urban Decay. I felt the palette reminded me a lot like the Sephora Minnie’s World in Color Eyeshadow Palette.

I’m wondering is it a hype or a hit for you?

Much to My Excitement Sofia Vergara Has a New Avon Perfume

Much to my absolute delight and excitement Sofia Vergara has a new Avon perfume coming very soon! I fell in love with Sofia’s original fragrance so, I’ve been following closely what she is doing in the fragrance world. I have my moments where I like a celeb fragrance here and there but many run together and smell the same. I felt like Sofia Eau de Parfum was very unique and different which was what made it stand out from the long line of celebrity fragrances out there.

So Very Sofia by Sofia Vergara will be available this Fall exclusively through Avon and is Sofia’s third fragrance release. She leans towards creating fruity floral fragrances which is right on par for my palate and what So Very Sofia will be all about.

This a succulent fruit and tropical floral with fragrant herbs perfume that contains opening notes of passion fruit with middle notes of floral notes that include Flor de Mayo Orchid and base notes of warming herbal patchouli.

The fragrance will be $36 and available this Fall from Avon reps and online at avon.com.

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

Kiko Mirage Lip Stylo Lipstick

The new, limited edition Kiko Mirage Lip Stylo launched in eight gorgeous shades with the Kiko x Lovegrove Summer 2016 Collection recently and of course, I had to snatch up a few shades to call my own.

Kiko Mirage Lip Stylo

I’ve noticed more often times than not, it proves very difficult to say no to a Kiko Lipstick. I’m not really a lipstick kind of girl either! I typically like lipglosses but Kiko Lipsticks are simply too divine and cheap to pass up.

Let’s take a look!

Does Your Makeup Addiction Demand Constant Newness?

new makeup

Does your makeup addiction demand constant newness? Do you need something brand new and sparkly to engage and stimulate your interest in makeup? I think part of the appeal of the makeup world and loving makeup so much stems from the fact there’s always something new and interesting to try out be that a lipstick or an exciting new moisturizer.

It’s funny because I have many, many staples I love and use daily. A primer I really love, a concealer I adore, an eyeshadow I constantly use, etc…etc…yet, I’m always out there searching for the next best thing. Why? If my concealer is already holy grail status why am I searching for something else? Lord knows, if this was an actual relationship we were talking about Ashley Madison would make millions on me. I’m a serial makeup cheater and I’m not ashamed to admit I cheat on my favorites.
