NYX Duck Plump High Pigment Lipgloss Sounds Ridiculous But I’m Here for Plumping Formulas

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

I know Spring 2024 was going to be the season of the lip plumper when Maybelline dropped Lifter Plump Lip Plumping Gloss into our lap and looks like I’m right because NYX Duck Plump High Pigment Lipgloss just landed. NYX Duck Plump High Pigment Lipgloss sounds utterly ridiculous but it could prove an interesting plumping lipgloss. What is NYX Duck Plump High Pigment Lipgloss? A seventeen shade vegan friendly collection of glosses infused with spicy ginger that acts to add color and volume to lips. This plumping formula promises “intense color” and volume.

As a child of the Duwop Lip Venom era I’m willing and able to take on any formula. In Maybelline’s formula they are using “chili pepper” to plump and NYX is using “spicy ginger” I truly believe at this point you can come at me with ghost peppers and I’d be fine with it. Duwop just made me immune to the pain of a good plumping gloss formula. Although, I will say these formulas aren’t for sensitive users. Maybelline’s could prove pretty intense for those that have sensitive skin or are prone to chapped or dry lips. But if you’ve lived through to Duwop era you’ll be just fine I’m sure.

One thing I do hope that if NYX takes to social platforms to advertise the new NYX Duck Plump High Pigment Lipgloss that they use influencers without lip fillers. I thought the Maybelline’s formula was fantastic and I actually legit got turned off by it because all the advertising they were doing on social media was with influencers with a ton of filler. They have this solid formula that they were advertising on already full, plump lips. Come on guys! It’s already good! You don’t have to convince us!

NYX Duck Plump High Pigment Lipgloss is available now the brand’s website and should be launching soon at retailers like Ulta.

Will you try it?

Sephora Cyber Week Begins Soon and Reminds Us Why Rouge Is Useless

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

Forget about Sephora Black Friday let’s just move onto Sephora Cyber Week 2023 Sale! Starting November 20th you can head over to sephora.com for daily deals on all your favorite brands like Tarte, Fresh, Youth to the People, and more! The sale kicks off with 30% Off your entire Fresh order for one day only on November 20th and after that we have a week of brand new deals to take advantage of.

Here’s the entire Sephora Cyber Week Schedule:
30% Off Fresh and Select Benefit November 20th
30% Off Lancome November 21st
30% Off Tarte November 22nd
30% Off Sunday Riley November 23rd
30% Off Fenty Beauty November 24th
30% Off Khiel’s November 25th
30% Off Make Up For Ever and Carolina Herrera November 26th
30% Off GXVE and Youth to the People November 27th

They’ll be other goodies to take advantage of as well! From November 19 through November 27th they’ll be surprise sample bags (while supplies last) included with your order. They’ll also be 50% off select beauty! I suspect we’ll see mid-range brands starting to discount their Holiday sets like Too Faced for example. You’ll also be able to score 50% off select fragrances throughout Cyber Week! I imagine that will include brands like Skylar plus 4x points on fragrance purchases. They’ll be 30% off Select Hair and Skin Tools (We can hope this means Dyson!), 30% off Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Products will be available for the entire week and 50% off select favs on Black Friday (these haven’t been revealed yet), as well as 50% Off Lancome Mascara and 30% off Olaplex.

It looks like a great sale but what makes it better and makes us realize that Rouge is an absolutely useless Reward Status is the fact you can snag 25% off your total order from 11/26 to 11/27 if you use Afterpay or Klarna as your form of payment. It’s definitely a little bit of a kick in the face that as a Rouge Member we only got 20% off and now it’s available for everyone but they did it to us last year as well and it just reinforces the reasons why we love Ulta’s Rewards Program so much more.

Trader Joe’s Brazil Nut Body Trio Drops with Brazil Nut Body Mist and Body Oil

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

It’s timeeeeeeee! The Trader Joe Brazil Nut Body Trio for Holiday 2023 has dropped on the West Coast. This new $12.99 gift set brings back the Brazil Nut Body Mist from last year’s Trader Joe’s Brazil Nut Body Glow Set and also, comes with a brand new Brazil Nut Body Oil! I’m screaming! You’ll also get a mini of the popular Brazil Nut Body Butter.

This past Summer Trader Joe’s gifted us with a brand new Brazil Nut Body Wash to add to our little family of Brazil Nut goodies that already includes a Brazil Nut Body Butter, Brazil Nut Body Scrub, and the Brazil Nut Candle. I gotta admit last year’s gift set was a bit nicer as it included the body wash, scrub, body mist, and body butter. It was more products but the body mist in this set is larger which makes up for the lack of one product! And I’m so excited about the body oil I’m willing to overlook this. I think the exciting news is that Trader Joe’s used last year’s Holiday Gift Set to launch the brand new body wash and body mist. We never did get the body mist in a full-size but we did get the body was which makes me wonder if Summer 2024 we’ll see either the Body Oil or Body Mist being added to the collection of these best selling products. As you already known people go insane over these products because they smell like Brazilian Crush Cheirosa ’62.

If this set is anything like last year’s we better start bracing ourselves to snag it because last year it sold out SUPER DUPER FAST! Trader Joe’s Brazil Nut Body Trio is available now on the West Coast and I suspect the East Coast will have it later this week!

Trader Joe Obsessed broke this news first and the pic above belongs to her. Her account is amazing if you want up to minute details on what Trader Joe’s is releasing.

Fenty Skin Fruit Quench’rz Hydrating + Conditioning Lip Oil Duo Review & Swatches

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.
5 stars out of 5

Fenty Skin Fruit Quench’rz Hydrating + Conditioning Lip Oil Duo ($38) is a new, limited-edition gift set that launched with the Fenty Holiday 2023 Collection featuring two full-size Fenty Beauty Conditioning + Strengthening Lip Oils! This is probably one of my favorite sets from the Fenty Holiday 2023 launch along with the Lil Butta Dropz Mini Whipped Oil Body Cream Trio because that Warm Cinnamon Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream is d-lish! I just reviewed the E.L.F. Glow Reviver Lip Oil and yes, they’re awesome and affordable but ladies and gents, I gotta say the Fenty formula is luxurious! Definitely a winner for me.
