Tula Radiant Skin Brightening Serum Concealer, Make Up For Ever HD Skin Smooth & Blur Undetectable Under Eye Concealer, and Iconic London Radiant Concealer & Brightening Duo are now all available for Fall 2023. Do we need to try these 3 new concealers?
It’s August and Summer is ending for me soon. Yes, I know. Officially, Fall Solstice is September 23rd but personally, it’s over for me as soon as September 1st rolls around. I was born in Autumn and I love everything about the season. The weather, the Holidays (Halloween and Thanksgiving), the clothing, the events (apple picking, Halloween parades, and parties, etc…), and of course, the makeup. I miss Fall makeup! I miss it so much. It used to be that Fall Collections would release towards the end of August. In recent years, Fall Collections started launching in July and nowadays as soon as June. Unfortunately, you likely won’t see a heavy Fall 2023 Makeup Collection push. A lot of mid-range brands like Urban Decay, Too Faced, Tarte, etc…tend to either do a small Fall 2023 launch in the Summer and straight into Holiday 2023 Makeup Collections as soon as the first to the second week of September.
Don’t place any bets on seeing a Tarte or Urban Decay Fall 2023 Collection. Urban Decay has been doing smaller little releases like lipstick here, a concealer there, and come to Fall you’ll see perhaps a palette that works as a Fall/Holiday 2023 release and later on small gift sets for the Holiday Season. Tarte already released a few palettes already like Big Ego which is basically their version of a Summer/Fall 2023 release. I think Big Ego will start getting pushed a bit for Fall but as soon as the second week of September rolls around we’ll see the massive Tarte Holiday 2023 Collection (Tarte Holiday 2022 launched September 12th last year). As far as Too Faced we already got the Cosmic Crush Eyeshadow Palette so, Too Faced Holiday 2023 will likely arrive in late September as Too Faced Holiday 2022 arrived September 19th last year!
These are just examples of a few more mainstream, mid-range brands but others normally follow along the same path.
According to an interesting article posted on Yahoo Life Gel Manicures apparently can give you cancer.
“In order to cure, or harden, gel polish, a UV lamp is used — and a recent study published in Nature found that radiation from these lamps can cause mutations in cells that are linked to skin cancer.”
“Both melanoma, the most serious skin cancer, and non-melanoma skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, increase in frequency after ultraviolet light exposure,” says Dr. Maral Kibarian Skelsey, director of the Dermatologic Surgery Center in Chevy Chase, Md.
Here I am worrying about the people who are getting their lip waxed in the backroom might get herpes or some other not yet discovered disease and what we really need to worry about his a manicure potentially giving us skin cancer.
The article goes on the say, “Still, some have interpreted the recent findings — which add to a “small, growing body of research” about regular use of UV nail lamps connected with aging and cancer risk — as inconclusive regarding cancer, damage to skin cells aside.”
According to the University of Utah, “The UV (ultraviolet) lamps used to dry gel nail polish produce artificial UV radiation, similar to tanning beds or the natural UV radiation that the sun produces. UV light can damage cells and increase the risk of skin cancers, such as squamous cell and basal cell cancer. It’s important to always protect your skin.”
This be old news but it’s new to me! I never heard of this before and I just sat there thinking, “Really? Really?” I feel like everything we do lately gives us some serious disease!
Did you know gel manicures could be potentially dangerous?
