Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme Plumping Clicks Lipgloss ($28) is a new permanent range of pen lipglosses available in eight shades that launched with the Too Faced Spring 2025 Collection. As you know from my previous post on these I wasn’t feeling the price! And after this review I’m pretty sure Too Faced is going to hate me but I do thank them for sending samples of these as I simply wasn’t feeling that $28 price tag. Ouch! After trying the formula I feel even better I didn’t actually spend money on them because I’m not loving them at all.

Sorry Too Faced, I appreciate the PR but the Lip Injection Extreme Plumping Clicks Lipgloss just aren’t for me!

Too Faced Pillow Balm Hydrating Lip Treatment ($26) my dry lips are thanking you this month! Too Faced Pillow Balm Hydrating Lip Treatment is a new tinted liquid lip balm available in 7 shade selections that launched for Spring 2025. This liquid lip balm promises to create a cushiony finish on lips providing moisture while adding volume and plump to lips.

I realize this is part of the Too Faced Spring 2025 Collection but they couldn’t bring this out at a better time.

Paris Corner Marshmallow Blush Perfume is a new fragrance that’s making the rounds in the fragrance community as a dupe for Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow. That’s the real question though. Is Paris Corner Marshmallow Blush a dupe for Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow? No, it isn’t I hate to disappoint but the two are in the same family but they aren’t twins. That being said, they’ll layer beautifully together and also, it’s nice have to very unique marshmallow fragrances.

If you’re unfamiliar with Paris Corner it’s Dubai-based brand that’s sold at Aroma Concepts. The house has gotten a lot of air time on Tiktok and is having a crazy viral moment thanks to the spotlight that’s been pretty shining so heavily on Arabic fragrances. It’s also pretty popular because it’s known for creating duplications of very high-end fragrances. Sometimes it does so successfully other times it sort of fails. I have to admit I do approach all my purchases from Paris Corner with caution. About 75% of what I’ve purchased from them has been a fail. A lot are very, very, very overhyped on Tiktok.

Paris Corner Marshmallow Blush was an instantly blindbuy as it contains marshmallow and I do love a good marshmallow scent. But also, I was intrigued about it being a dupe of Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow and was eager to compare the two as I really am loving Yum Boujee Marshmallow! I was pleasantly surprised how much I loved this as I really was bracing to be disappointed as I was in the past with a lot of my Paris Corner purchases.

Yes, I’m weak for anything Ariana Grande Perfume and yes, I purchased the new Ariana Grande r.e.m. Cherry Eclipse Eau de Parfum. It’s a total blind buy but I only ever met one Ari fragrance I disliked (I didn’t even really dislike just felt like it wasn’t for me and the fact this has a cherry note sold me so I did go ahead and grab the big bottle. Judge me if you must. I was convinced Ariana Grande Cloud Pink Eau de Parfum was going to be something cherry but it wasn’t! I guess they were just waiting for this year to jump on the cherry bandwagon!

Don’t get too hyped because this isn’t a gourmand. It’s actually a fruity amber which means it might just be nice and warm after that initial sweet fruitiness. It has notes of Black Cherry and Jubilee Sugared Honeysuckle Petals at the top. The heart has jasmine absolute sambac with marshmallow meringue and it dries down to a glowing warm amber musk. Don’t quote me but I believe there was some sort of R.E.M fragrance set around the Holidays when Wicked x R.E.M dropped and I’m wondering if Cherry Eclipse was the fragrance that was previewed in that set. Although, at that point they were call it R.E.M 2.0. I never did buy it because I wasn’t interested in the fact it was a small travel spray along with a lipgloss I believe. But I’m left wondering if maybe it was a launch pad for Cherry Eclipse.
