There two people in the world. Those who won’t let go of Summer and will fight you to the death that the end of Summer isn’t until September 23rd and those who will battle you to the bone that Fall arrives on September 1st. This week it’s been the high 90s in New York and I happen to that person that was outside for most of it putting up garlands and garlands of leaves, hanging mum baskets, and putting out dozens of pumpkins. I’m “those people” that believe Fall started on September 1st. I make no apologies for this. I respect your choice to love Summer but I hate it and I’m ready for Fall thanks every so much 🙂

If you’re shopping warm, cozy gourmands for the season you might want to race over to ulta.com because today only you can snag a 2 oz of Philosophy’s Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere for $25 bucks with free shipping if you’re a Diamond or Platinum Member. I tried to convince myself I loved Amazing Grace for a really long time but I realized it just isn’t me (it’s on sale too if you love it). When Philosophy started doing scents like Fresh Cream I was overjoyed. I was finally in my element.

This contains notes of juicy tangerine, cashmere wood, orchid, vanilla bean, creamy sandalwood, and skin musk. Honestly, on me it immediately tries down to cozy, warm creamy vibes. It’s beautiful and reminds me a little tiny bit of by Rosie Jane Dulce. P.S. They layer well together. I use it along with EOS Cashmere Vanilla Body Lotion and the combo is perfection.

If you’re a Fall girl or guy this is a nice deal to snag today! I wish you the warmiest, coziest vibes for your Fall days ahead. Cherish these days! They go fast!

Fenty Beauty Shadowstix Longwear Eyeshadow Stick ($25) enters the villa for Fall 2023 but it sure does have lots of competition. But as a cream eyeshadow stick girl I’m very excited about this launch. Now available in shimmer and matte finishes and 14 shades these new cream shadows promise to be intensely pigmented, easy to blend, long-wearing, water and transfer-proof plus resists fading and creasing.

Shades:

• Sip & Sparkle (champagne)
• Bellini Ba$h (light peach)
• Fizzy Frose (rose gold)
• Candy Rapper (light bronze)
• Get On Taupe (taupe)
• Gold Hoopz (gold)
• Copp’d That (cooper)
• U Ain’t Ready (deep bronze)
• Amber (cool light brown)
• Shroom Mate (cool neutral brown)
• Nut All Men (neutral brown)
• In Big Truffle (chocolate brown)
• Brownie Badd’r (black brown)
• Cuz I’m Black (black)

These are going to be a hard sale at $25 each especially because there are SO many cream eyeshadow sticks on the market. These really have to stand out and be amazingly formulated to make it in this category. I admit I squealed when I saw them as I go hard for a good cream shadow stick but I saw the price and thought, hmmmm, maybe I should wait for a sale. Why do I feel in a few months they’ll be on sale for $10 each? If you can’t wait remind yourself there are a few cheaper options out there like Milani Glided Eyeshadow Sticks, NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil All-In-One Eyeshadow Eyeliner Crayons, E.L.F. No Budge Matte Shadow Sticks, J Cat Shimmie Struck Shadow Sticks, and Shadow Stix to just name a few! Not to mention if you love formulas like this you probably already own higher-end shadow sticks like Bobbi Brown Cream Eyeshadow Stick and Laura Mercier Caviar Shadow Sticks.

I love the idea of the Fenty Shadowstix Longwear Eyeshadow Stick and I really want to check these out but it might be a sale item for me because I can’t really see myself paying $25 each since my stash of cream shadow sticks is pretty huge.

How about you?

Fenty Shadowstix Longwear Eyeshadow Stick are coming soon!

Hourglass Cosmetics Holiday 2023 has arrived and we are getting four new Ambient Lighting Unlocked Palettes. You can purchase these now at hourglasscosmetics.com and at ulta.com! The Owl Palette is an empty palette you can fill yourself and the other three do contain six shades each. Hourglass Holiday 2022 was very tempting for me and I ended up hauling all three of those palettes and didn’t regret it a single bit! If you want to look back I did review both the Hourglass Butterfly Ambient Light Edit Unlocked Palette and Elephant Ambient Lighting Edit Palette. I absolutely loved them and I have to admit the Hourglass Holiday 2023 Palettes are tempting me just as much! Last year the palettes were $85 and this year they are $90.

There are four to choose which are the Hourglass Owl Ambient Unlocked Lighting Edit Palette (this is an empty palette and can be customized), the Hourglass Snake Ambient Unlocked Lighting Edit Palette, Hourglass Jellyfish Ambient Unlocked Lighting Edit Palette, and the Hourglass Leopard Ambient Unlocked Lighting Edit Palette.

The Leopard Palette contains:

• Dim Light Finishing Powder
• Celestial Strobe Light Strobe Powder
• Mood Exposure Blush
• Lustrous Bronze Light Bronzer
• Ethereal Flush Blush (New Shade)
• Iridescent Rose Blush

The Jellyfish Palette contains:

• Diffused Light Finishing Powder
• Rose Fushion Blush (New Shade)
• Lunar Bronze Bronzer (New Shade)
• Diffused Heat Blush
• Opal Strobe Light Strobe Powder (New Shade)
• Ethereal Light Finishing Powder

The Snake Palette contains:

• Radiant Light Finishing Powder
• Coral Haze Blush (New Shade)
• Infinite Strobe Light Strobe Powder (New Shade)
• Sun Beam Blush (New Shade)
• Mystic Flush Blush (New Shade)
• Solar Bronze (New Shade)

The palettes support the Non-Human Rights Project and 5% of the annual profits will be donated to the org. Are the Hourglass Holiday 2023 Ambient Lighting Unlocked Palettes on your wish list?
