E.L.F Pout Clout Lip Plumping Pen Review & Swatches

3 stars out of 5

E.L.F Cosmetics Pout Clout Lip Plumping Pen ($8) is a new, affordable 3-in-1 lip plumper, gloss, and balm that launched for Spring 2024 in eight shades. This formula is an obvious nod to the very popular Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump but I promise if Tarte does anything right it’s create a fantastic glossy lip balm and E.L.F., sorry but yours is not a dupe nor can it compare to how great the Tarte formula is. We’re going to see a few dupes like this as we head into Spring and of course, the Summer 2024 season. We already have NYX Fat Oil Slick Click Lip Balm which launched for Spring 2024. I suspect a few drugstore brands like Maybelline and perhaps Covergirl might introduce a version as well.

Regardless, of my dislike for this formula they’ll likely be a big hit because this economy is hard and everyone is looking for a dupe of a more expensive product. And at $8 bucks it’s a heck of a lot more affordable than Tarte’s version at $24 each.

Essence Pink Is The New Black Colour-Changing Blush Review & Swatches

2 stars out of 5

Essence Pink Is The New Black Colour-Changing Blush ($5.99) is a new color changing blush that launched with the Essence Pink is the New Black Collection. This budget-friendly blush is a bold black shade that “magically” chances to a perfect mauve blush shade when applied to cheeks. I wasn’t going to pick this up at all as I think the novelty of pH level blushes has worn off for me but I snagged one in a recent smallish order I did at Ulta to tip me into the free shipping zone.

Trader Joe’s Brazil Nut Body Oil Review

3 stars out of 5

Trader Joe’s Brazil Nut Body Oil ($6.99) has returned with the Trader Joe’s Valentine’s Day Collection 2024 for a limited time. My guess would be that we’ll see the return of Trader Joe’s Brazil Nut Body Oil for Summer 2024 but for now, you can snag a bottle or two at your local stores. As you may recall this launched originally in the Trader Joe’s Brazil Nut Body Trio for Holiday 2023. I went out hunting for that gift set but it sold out fast. I blame Tiktok. The app makes everything and anything sell out at TJs. Kimbap has been sold out since it launched but I’m seeing a few stores on the West Coast got it back but now there’s a limit on it of two per customer. It’s wild to me that food goes viral.

Anyway, the Trader Joe’s Brazil Nut Body Trio included a 2 oz bottle of Trader Joe’s Brazil Nut Body Oil along with Brazil Nut Body Butter and Brazil Nut Fragrance Mist. I suspect for Summer 2024 we’ll see the Brazil Nut Body Oil return along with the Fragrance Mist. The new bottle is $6.99 and 4 oz and if you’re comparing that to Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Firmeza Body Oil at $52 for 3.4 oz you got yourself a steal. But these two aren’t dupes.
