My Beauty Diary Blooming Garden Lip Essence Review & Swatches

Cult favorite, Taiwanese sheet mask extraordinaire My Beauty Diary likes to venture outside of the realms of mere sheet masks every once in a while. Last Spring, they introduced a small little stash of skincare products and this Spring they venture into beauty.

I mean I imagine Batman gets tired of fighting crime every once and a while and maybe thought about heading up his local MAC counter so why can’t My Beauty Diary switch things up and take a breather from sheet masks and maybe, I dunno, dabble around with lip balm?

Jump!

Bobbi Brown Brightening Nudes Sparkle Eye Shadows

To my utter delight Bobbi has brought back four shades of Sparkle Eye Shadow with her new Brightening Nudes Collection. These are some of favorite shades and formula of all time from Bobbi.

The formula is super lightweight and lights up eyes with a touch of sparkle. They have a creamy, soft hybrid formula that looks like a pressed pigment, applies like a cream, and wears like a shadow.

The sheer colors are ideal for Spring looks or pssst if you’re a little older, the sparkle factor is not only wearable here but highly effective at making tired, aging eyes look bright and awake again.

Take a look at the shades!

Lush Leap Frog Fragrance

How effing frustrating is that Once Upon a Time rubbish? Yes, I somehow, someway got suckered into watching that craptastic show because I simply adore Robert Carlyle, although I suspect they took away his manhood because that laugh is downright bizarre. I was catching up on episodes while I was traveling over the weekend and polished off Sunday’s episode late last night and sincerely it is one hot mess of a show.

And Prince Charming what the hell is your damage dude? OMG drop, the charming and the prince, this guy is a dud. Never mind the mismatch of other fairy tale characters who have absolutely no development outside of an hour of your time each week when they flash through an episode.

I really want the hours of my life back I used up watching this garbage because I don’t see a happily ever after in my future if I continue.

But at least I can get my happily ever with the new Lush Leap Frog Fragrance, it’s a forum scent that was created excuslively for members of the Lush UK Forum and is available for a very limited time online.

Take a peek!
