The new Olay Super Serum ($34.99) is a new powerhouse peptide serum that includes Niacinamide, Latic Acid, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E, Pro-Vitamin B5, and more. I just want you to know that back in high school and my early years of college I was an Olay Total Effects kind of girl. I had no idea what I was doing back then (and still don’t on some levels haha!) but yeah, that was my moisturizer of choice. I wonder if it’s why I don’t look my age now. What do you think?

But seriously, Olay Super Serum sounds great and the reviews are raving and I trust none of them (sorry not sorry) so, this is one I’ll have to try for myself. Sadly, the formula also includes fragrance (and Mica but why though? Well, technically it looks more like a pearl finish but still….) which may or may not be a deal breaker for some folks! The older I get the less I appreciate fragrance in my skincare. But we might want to over look it for some of these ingredients.

Niacinamide is the new super star of the moment and helps to brighten skin as well as Vitamin C. Lactic Acid is a nice way to gently exfoliate skin. And Hyaluronic Acid tops it all off my plumping and smoothing. There’s definitely stuff here to rejoice over but I’m not sure how much of it is actually in this serum. Guess we’ll have to try this out for ourselves. This is the second product from Olay that released recently that has me intrigued! They also, have a new Slugging Mask!

Olay Super Serum is available now at Target. Will you be trying it out?

Youthforia Date Night Skin Tint Serum Foundation ($48) is a new weightless glass-skin finish skin tint that’s formulated with over 68% skincare actives and a patented tannin complex to control oil. This formula promises to melt into skin for effortless, everyday, long-lasting wear that’s safe to sleep in.

I read a lot about this one and I keep hearing how it was created with a ton of good for your skincare ingredients and acts as a skincare as well as a foundation. Available in 15 shades it has medium buildablage coverage, a weightless fill, a glass0sskin finish, and is free from silicone as and includes Adenosine that smooths skin and decreases the look of fine lines.

Youthforia posted a really interested video on their Instagram which describes how when they set out to create Date Night Skin Tint Serum Foundation they had told the lab they were working with that they had no budget limit and they wanted something that was incredible for your skin. In doing this, they apparently mistakenly created an foundation that cost as much as an $800 serum!!! Apparently, they had to create a while new manufacturing process to create this foundation. The idea of the foundation is that it’s so good for your skin you can sleep in it. And sure we’ve seen a lot of foundations that promise to act as skincare but this one does sound pretty interesting!

I happen to not love skin tints. I don’t need a ton of coverage as my skin is blemish-free and clear. I typically like lighted tinted moisturizers, skin tints, or I’ll apply a very small dot of foundation on either side of my face, blend, and I’m good. I do suffer from dullness which is why I like to use some sort of coverage to ease that dullness and brighten up my complexion. There have been quite a few skin tints that have launched recently one of which is Maybelline Super Stay 24H Skin Tint. Personally, lightweight, natural coverage is totally my deal and I’m incredibly curious about the new Youthforia Date Night Skin Tint Serum Foundation and will absolutely be checking it out. I do wish they had released it earlier in the Summer as it seems like a great pick for warmer weather!

Youthforia Date Night Skin Tint Serum Foundation will be available August 20th.

Do you think you’ll try it?

Urban Decay Naked Metal Mania Palette is a new 12 shade palette that will be available with the Urban Decay Fall 2023/Holiday 2023 Collection. This is available now at sephora.com and urbandecay.com.

Well, I think we passed Naked a long time ago. Not sure why they keep throwing Naked into the names of these palettes. However, it probababy is a necessary evil since we had a Heavy Metal Eyeshadow Palette that already had launched for Holiday 2017. So, Naked was necessary to make this more “new” I guess.

And look here she is:

Dare I say it was a little more exciting than the new Naked Metal Mania Eyeshadow Palette which looks a little bit like the recent Too Faced Cosmic Crush Eyeshadow Palette! Hmmmm…..!

Shades:

• Doublekick (cream beige, satin finish)
• Sound Tower (warm light brown, matte finish)
• Studio (warm medium brown, matte finish)
• Shred (champagne rose, metallic eyeshadow finish)
• Thrash (copper metallic, metallic eyeshadow finish)
• Decadent (metallic gold eyeshadow with a wet look effect)
• Headbang (rose gold, metallic eyeshadow finish)
• Power Chords (magenta eyeshadow with a metallic finish)
• Spike Studio (metallic silver eyeshadow with a wet look effect)
• Scene (gunmetal silver eyeshadow, metallic finish)
• Road Crew (cool deep brown, soft matte finish)
• Heavy (black, sparkle-matte finish)

Urban Decay, I love you but what is going on lately? I’m just not feeling this launch at all. I love you’re back to bold and vibrant but these shades just look boring for some reason. They also, look like they have no rhyme or reason. I’m trying hard to love this! Really I am! But I feel like it’ll be on sale before the Holidays even arrive. I will give you the benefit of the doubt as I had a little hate for the Naked Wild West Eyeshadow Palette too and I sort of ended up loving on it so maybe I’ll feel the same way about the Metal Mania Eyeshadow Palette.

Urban Decay Naked Metal Mania Eyeshadow Palette is available now on the brand’s website and is coming to Ulta on August 27th and other retailers September 10th.
