Merit Solo Shadow Cream-to-Powder Soft Matte Eyeshadow ($24) is a new range of talc-free cream-to-powder single shade shadows with a soft matte finish. Available in eight shades these contain peptides and provide a sheer wash of silky matte color to lids that apparently have long-wear without creasing or fading. I am beyond excited about this launch!

Shades:

• Studio (cool taupe)
• Vachetta (warm beige)
• Midcentury (warm brown)
• Brun (deep brown)
• Social (soft mauve)
• Viper (warm green)
• Nelson (soft gray)
• Midnight (classic navy)

There’s some irony in the fact I’m so hyped about these because I have always been a shimmer sparkle eyeshadow girl. But as I’ve gotten older I really do appreciate an elegant matte eyeshadow especially one with a soft, silky formula that applies easily. I think my matte hate stems from the fact I come from a time when mattes were dry, chalky, patchy, and difficult to apply. Mattes have evolved so much in recent years. They are softer, silkier, more pigmented, never patchy, and apply like a dream. 10 years ago I’d be shocked at how many I actually have in my collection.

I happen to be a fan of Merit. I think it doesn’t get enough hype for what it offers. It’s an elegant, sophisticated, and small range of products that have stellar formulas. Rumors of Merit releasing single eyeshadow shades has been on the horizon for a while now. The brand doesn’t currently offer eyeshadow at all so this is big for them! I have no doubt they put a lot of effort into this launch and the formula will likely be amazing. The new Merit Solo Shadow Cream-to-Powder Soft Matte Eyeshadow aren’t yet available but are launching shortly for Fall 2023. I’ll be reviewing them as soon as they become available as I really want to try these out for myself.

Will you be checking out Merit Solo Shadow Cream-to-Powder Soft Matte Eyeshadows?

These launch August 22nd.

Not to make light of a bad situation but when Bath & Body Works sales decline you know sh1t is serious. According to news outlets Bath & Body Works’ sales have declined in Q2 which is a pretty bad sign for the Holiday 2023 Beauty World. Bath & Body Works has always had a very strong customer and fan base. I honestly feel they could sell snow in the Winter to most of us. Lately, I’ve been noticing an increasing amount of sales especially ones on their new Rewards App (today you can snag Halloween 2023 at 50% Off) not to mention they have been really, really trying hard lately with new releases like the Gingham Sleep Collection and Laundry Detergent.

Although their earnings perform better than they had hoped Bath & Body Works has said sales have slid in the second quarter and I can testify to this just by looking at their recent Halloween 2023 Collection. This is normally a huge collection release and I can recall last year many items just flying off shelves. This year, not so much! And now 50% off so soon after the launch? That alone speaks volumes. Not to mention we’ve had quite a few 20% offers and other incentive sales to buy almost every other week!

Fenty Hot Chocolit Fantasy Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer is a new shade launching for Fall 2023 and is a twist on the cult-favorite shade, Hot Chocolit, with a new brown lipgloss shade with a shimmering pink and gold holographic finish. The new spin on the shade is the holographic finish but outside of that it’s the same shade you know and love! Although, this one is more of a Fall 2023 launch it likely follows closely on the Fenty Holiday 2023 Collection and might just be featured in it.

I already own Hot Chocolit Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer and as much as I love the Gloss Bomb formula I’m not sure I need to add this new version to my collection. First off, it’s basically the same shade I have and secondly, I’m really not into holographic anything.

That being said, those who love the shade hard might just feel moved enough to purchase it. Fenty Beauty Hot Chocolit Fantasy Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer for Fall 2023 is $21 available now. Think you’ll haul it?
