Blush sticks are not new by any means but they are creating a “new” blush trend for Summer 2024 with all these recent releases. Haus Labs just dropped a new Color Fuse Longwear Hydrating Glassy Lip + Cheek Blush Balm Stick and Kylie Cosmetics recently added a new Powder Blush Stick to their collection. And don’t forget Milani Luminoso Cream Blush Stick! I felt fairly confidence I had the Summer 2024 Blush Trend down as more glowy liquid blushes à la Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Highlighter Wand. I’m seeing a lot of different cream and liquid blushes starting to launch and even ones popping up at the drugstore like the new Maybelline Sunkisser Blush , bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Liquid Blonzer Blush + Bronzer, and Makeup Revolution Bright Light Blush Drops. No matter the formula though there is a rather large number of blushes launching lately like Luminous Silk Cheek Tint from Armani, the new It Cosmetics Glow with Confidence Sun Cream Blush with Hyaluronic Acid, GXVE Dewyplump Collagen Boosting Cheek Tint, and others! Does this mean we’ll finally get a reformulation and shimmer finish of Tarte Amazonian Blushes? Because I’ve been waiting for 800 years now for that to happen!

Why are brand so suddenly blush happy? I’m not really sure but I’m here for it. I feel like the blush side of the makeup world definitely needs some fresh picks! Kosas has a stunning baked blush coming up shortly that reminds me of Laura Geller Baked n Blush and I’m excited to check that out. It’s definitely turning into the season of the blush and I’m here for it.

As for Haus Labs they just recently introduced Color Fuse Talc-Free Blush Powder With Fermented Arnica and now we’re on to their new multitasking lip and cheek balm for Summer 2024. The claim to fame with this formula is that it’s a serum base that acts as a skincare of sorts as well as a blush. It contains a goji berry complex and fermented arnica (a pretty common ingredient in a lot of the Haus Labs’ releases). These two ingredients act to sooth redness while plumping skin. I’m always a little skeptical of color cosmetics that claim to have skincare benefits but the marketing reads that the formula is made up of 70% skincare. And sure, that makes no sense to me as I don’t know if I need my blush to be that much of a skincare but hey, if it actually works why not?

But if you’re like me and just here for the color you’ll be happy to see the Color Fuse Longwear Hydrating Glassy Lip + Cheek Blush Balm are available in eight shades with a long-wearing formula that provides a glass-like finish (I assume they are dewy) and sheer to buildable color coverage. If the promo images are accurate they look beautifully dewy on cheeks. I loved the Pat Mcgrath Divine Blush Legendary Glow Colour Balm but always wished it was a bit more dewier perhaps this formula will be better! Not to mention these can be used on lips too and I’ve always struggled with cheek slash lip products as typically the formulas are a bit dry and uneventful on lips. But if these are as dewy and glassy as they look that may make them great for both lips and cheeks! The shades are $34 each and will be available shortly. Think you want to try one?

About two years ago I ran across a Tiktok video that recommended two products to use in feet to get them smooth, soft, and well hydrated. You might have read the article I wrote about back then and who knows, you might have even tried the products I had purchased after watching that Tiktok. With Summer around the corner, I thought I’d revisit some of the products I’ve been using to get smooth, soft, hydrated feet. Summer is on the way and you’ll be having you feet on display a lot more often whether they are completely bare at the beach or pool or if you’re wearing a cute pair of sandals. No one wants to be running around with dry, crusty feet. I think in general it’s a good idea to not forget to take care of your feet regardless of whether or not you’re displaying them for the world to see. Caring for your feet is always a good idea as they are as important as other body parts. No one wants thick, cracked heels or soles that can be uncomfortable and painful.

There are a slew of ways you can get smooth, soft feet and one of the more popular ones is Baby Foot. You might remember my long-ago post on Baby Foot when it wasn’t yet available in the US and the brand had posted some of the most disgusting (yet oddly satisfying) images of people who used the product and had peeled layers and layers of deal skin from their feet. Shall we just revisit that for one second?

Why is so gross yet I can’t take my eyes off it? LOL! It’s like when you examine a Nose Strip after you’ve removed it and just celebrate the fact that there are those odd little plugs of dirt and oil in the strip. Baby Foot is now readily available in the US and even available at ulta.com! I’m a big fan of Baby Foot Moisturizing Foot Mask Booties. Those are a nice way to treat your feet to a little spa! But to maintain and keep feet their smoothest and softest here’s what I’ve been using and loving!

Was your favorite foundation discontinued? Or maybe it was a favorite blush shade that’s long gone. What’s one discontinued makeup product you’d bring back if you could? I always have hopes that brands will revise old, discontinued makeup that I used years and years ago. I still recall a Revlon Blush I wore in my graduation photo. It was called Rose Berry. It’s long since gone but I really loved that shade and used it all through my Senior Year of high school. 17, bushy eyebrows, frizzy hair, and you can’t tell in this picture but I was wearing Rose Berry on my cheeks! What a time to be alive!

Would I love to see that shade back? Absolutely but not as much as I would like to see something else return. If you’re an OG reader around here I bet you know which discontinued makeup item I want back and it isn’t a blush shade. Did you guess?
