So the new Sephora Wonderful Cushion Foundation ($24) isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea but it sure is mine! The Sephora Wonderful Cushion Foundation is one of two new cushion makeup products that Sephora launched for Spring 2016.

I’m a cushion foundation fan but it isn’t something everyone is willing to embrace. The trend started in Korea and last year we started to see the trend trickle into the US and this Spring it’s becoming a rather huge part of the drugstore makeup scene.

If you’ve never used cushion makeup before this is simply a cushion-y sponge that’s saturated with a fluid or cream foundation which you can dab into with the included sponge for application or with a brush or even fingers. I like cushion makeup because the formula seems to have a lightness and natural finish that I haven’t personally come across when using BB Creams, liquids, or creams. I could be imagining this, of course, but cushion foundation seems to have a really great formula that absorbs easily and gives a very natural finish.

Wet n Wild Lash-O-Matic Mascara + Fiber Extension Kit Review

Wet n Wild Lash-O-Matic Mascara + Fiber Extension Kit

Wet n Wild Lash-O-Matic Mascara + Fiber Extension Kit ($7.99) is a new mascara and fiber extension duo that launched with the Wet n Wild Spring 2016 Collection that’s available now at Walgreens. These fiber extensions and or sets are becoming increasingly popular at the drugstore for Spring 2016 as Physicians Formula recently introduced their Eye Booster Instant Doll Lash Extension Kit and also Length In Seconds Lash Extension Fibers launched with the Milani Spring 2016 Collection.

The Wet n Wild Lash-O-Matic Mascara + Fiber Extension Kit is kinda a cheaper alternative to Too Faced Better Than False Lashes Nylon Lash Extension System that launched in Summer 2012. I wouldn’t say this is a dupe of Too Faced’s formula but it is a nice budget friendly option to consider.

Let’s take a look!

Tarte Tartelette Tease Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

This was provided to me by a brand for review and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post but all opinions are my own.

Tarte Tease Palette

Tarte Tartelette Tease Amazonian Clay Eyeshadow Palette ($21) is a new, travel friendly version of the Tarte Tartelette Eyeshadow Palette that contains six brand new shades of eyeshadow. The idea behind the Tarte Tartelette Tease Eyeshadow Palette is to give you essentials eyeshadow shades in a smaller travel friendly packaging that makes it easy to take with you.

This is a fun little palette to have on hand at your boyfriend’s house or to take with you on a weekend trip as it has six total shades that can be used to create two looks. Or if you’re feeling inventive you can use shades individually to create a variety of different looks.
