Rare Beauty Mini Soft Pinch Liquid Blush Are Small but Mighty

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush is a viral sensation but one biggest grievances you hear about it is the fact it’s just TOO pigmented. I actually had that issue when I tried the new E.L.F. Camo Liquid Blush. That formula was just too unnatural for me. I’m pretty heavy-handed with blush and that formula is so very easy to overdo. It’s SUPER pigmented and the shades are so bright and bold. I’d dare say garish! I just can’t get a natural look when I apply them. I love me some pigmented makeup but that was just overkill. I hear Soft Pinch Liquid Blush is pretty darn pigmented as well but unless the shade range is a lot more flattering than the bold reds, oranges, and pinks that E.L.F. gave us.

If you’re a fearful of pigmented blush or feel like you’ll never get through one of Rare Beauty’s blushes you’ll be happy to know they just launched six mini ones! As you may know a few months ago Rare Beauty launched a single shade of Mini Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in the shade Hope. I believe some of the proceeds from the shade went to Mental Health Awareness if I’m recalling correctly. They’ve extended the shade of the minis to add five more shades. A regular Soft Pinch Liquid Blush is $23 and 0.25 oz in size where as the mini version is $14 at 0.11 oz. I think it’s a nice way to try these and an even nicer way to just have something in your collection you’ll use up considering the originals are so pigmented and a larger one will last you years and years! A mini just seems a more logical way to ensure you’ll use the product up. This is especially smart when it comes to liquids or creams which tend to go bad quicker than powders. Not to mention they’re so much more travel friendly and easier to store!

The newest hades of the Rare Beauty Mini Soft Pinch Liquid Blush available now are:
Happy (dewy cool pink)
Virtue (beige peach)
Grateful (dewy true red)
Encourage (soft neutral pink)
Joy (dewy muted peach)

Rare Beauty Mini Soft Pinch Liquid Blush are available now at Sephora!

NARS Orgasm Edge Is a Shimmer-Free Orgasm Version

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

It’s been 25 years and NARS Orgasm Blush is still as popular as every! This golden peach pink blush is my gateway drug into the world of peach blushes! It’s what made me a lover of peach and coral blushes and to this very day remains on top of my favorites list. NARS Orgasm is a cash cow and NARS has taken full advantage of the fact that they sell a compact of this every 20 seconds by introducing the shade in any number of different products. We’ve had Orgasm Nail Polish, Orgasm Lip Balm, Orgasm Lipgloss, Orgasm Eyesahdow Palettes, the list goes on and on and on…! And let’s not forget the shade variations of Orgasm like Orgasm X, Orgasm Rush, and others!

But we never had one thing in the Orgasm world. Any guesses what I’m talking about? If you said a shimmer-free version of Orgasm you guessed wisely! As much as everyone loves Orgasm Blush there are any number of others that hate it and feel the shade is too shimmery! Those people have wished, waited, and wanted a shimmer-free for over twenty years now but it never came! Until now…! NARS just recently introduced a new Talc-Free Blush and a lot of your old fav shades might be gone from this launch and I fear they won’t be returning (I believe this new version will replace their current blush collection). But we’re also getting new shades and Orgasm Edge is one of those shades! This is the peachy pink shade we all know and love sans the shimmer of the original. We will love it? Will it dry and patchy too apply? These are the questions currently keeping me up at night! I prefer radiant or shimmer blushes myself but I don’t have larger pores or heavily textured skin and shimmer works great for me. But I do realize if you have acne scarring or larger pores shimmer blushes aren’t always your bestie and a smoother finish comes in the form of a matte blush. Also, some people just aren’t down with shimmer in their blush and I totally get that. I think it’s great NARS finally addressed it and introduced Orgasm Edge!

Will I try it? Absolutely. I’m not only curious how the Talc-Free formula will be but I just want to see how this color looks on my cheeks without the shimmer! Plus it’ll make things a lot easier if I want to pair up with my favorite highlighter as I don’t have to worry about it competing with the glow and shimmer in my blush!

NARS Orgasm Edge is $34 and available now. Are you excited about a shimmer-free NARS Orgasm?

Even Lush Cosmetics Has Bridgerton Fever With This New Kitchen Box

Lush Cosmetics has Bridgerton fever and can’t we blame them? The promo images featuring Nicola are sizzling! To celebrate there is a new Lush x Bridgerton Kitchen Box ($58) and of course, it has Bridgerton inspired bath, body, and shower goodies. There also bringing Keep It Fluffy Shower Gel back for this exclusive collection and I’m foaming at the mouth to get some as it’s a favorite scent of mine!

If you aren’t familiar with the Lush Cosmetics Kitchen Box it’s basically an ongoing subscription box that’s shipped monthly but not automatically. What? What does that mean? It pretty much means every month Lush will e-mail you and say “hey there, we got a new kitchen box do you want one?” If it’s a yay you’ll go ahead and checkout on their website and within a month you’ll get the box. The Kitchen Boxes are a great way to get in on never before seen products. The Lush x Bridgerton Kitchen Box is a May 2024 release which means you’ll need to check out now to get it and a hold will be placed on your credit card until it ships next month!

This box will contain:

  • Tender Is The Night Kitchen Exclusive Body Lotion 3.5 oz
  • Keep It Fluffy Kitchen Exclusive Shower Gel 8.4 fl. oz
  • Royalty Kitchen Exclusive Bath Bomb
  • Lady Danbury Kitchen Exclusive Bath Bomb
  • Family Before All Kitchen Exclusive Soap

All five items are full-size and of course, inspired by Bridgerton! This isn’t the first Bridgerton Collaboration we’re seeing as we were surprised with a Bath and Body Works Bridgerton Collection about two weeks ago and that was unexpected considering I’ve never seen them do a collaboration before! I suspect Pat Mcgrath will be also, gifting us with a Bridgeton Makeup Collection very soon especially since Nicola’s character, Miss Penelope Featherington, has gotten quite the glow up since the last seasons (no more sausage curls for her!)! Nicola is a truly beautiful woman and I’m eager to see what sort of different looks she’ll be wearing this season!

As for me and my bath, well, we’ll be celebrating with this new Lush x Bridgerton Kitchen Box! Get yours now at Lush!
