2 stars out of 5

Pat Mcgrath Divine Blush: Legendary Glow Colour Balm ($29) is a new cream blush stick available in six shades that provides “glossy, gleaming color”. This is described as a radiant and glow-boosting blush. The marketing had me rolling around in fits of joy because as you know (since I’ve mentioned it too many times to count) I’m very into dewy skincare and makeup lately. It’s my new thang! And hey this formula was all about promoting glossy color and it had a formula that had some killer moisturizing ingredients like shea butter and squalane. Needless to say as soon as Divine Blush Legendary Glow Colour Balm hit Mother’s website I was on it and ordering up a shade.

I actually ordered only one and it was hard to decide which I wanted but I ended up the she Peach Lotus which is apparently the lightest shade. It arrived in a few days and I ripped the box open and was a little disappointed. There’s actually no glow or radiance here. You’re gonna get your serving of dew but as for glow, mmm, not so much! But that’s ok! The gel-like look of this blush stick had me hyped to try it and after I did I realized it wasn’t winning any awards for packaging nor was it going to get a major award for long wear but here we are with me wanting a shade or two more. Sometimes life is filled with beautiful makeup contradictions!

20% Off ILIA Here’s What I’m Gonna Grab

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

I’m going broke this week! Did a Bobbi Brown order because I needed the stupid sculpting palette during their sale and ILIA too? ILIA has 20% Off $75 or more using promo code THEBIGONE. I love love love Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40. Honestly, if it was ten years ago and you gave it to me to try free I’d totally tell you no thanks! But lately, I’m really into all the dewiness! Dunno why but loving dewy anything! The Skin Tint gives that perfect dewy glow and my dry skin soaks it up! But I digress, I already have it, don’t need it but you def should give it a whirl if you have drier or mature skin!

Liquid Eye Tint needing more of those! I got a shade during Sephora’s Sale! Loved it! Need to try some more of the mattes! I’m gonna give the True Skin Serum Concealer a try out too!

What else do I need?

As Promised We Got Experiment Bundles Here’s the One I Hauled

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

As you know Experiment restocked Super Saturated Concentrate yesterday! Wahoooo! I’m excited! I’m pretty stocked up on both the Super Saturated Concentrate and Buffer Jelly but I got a little concerned that Super Saturated would sell out again so, I decided to haul one of their bundles. They have a few available at a nice little savings! One of which includes the jelly and concentrate for $52 which is a savings of $8. I was gonna haul that but I ended up going with the Barrier Booster Pack that includes the Avant Guard Mask! I have a mask already but going to use the extra one in this set to travel with. It’s a silicone sheet mask you can use in conjunction with Experiment products or your favorite serums. It’s basically a sheet mask without the sheet. It’ll seal in your face serums and make for a nice little way to get your products fully absorbed. It’s reusable as well. Just wash it, dry it, and reuse it anytime. I purchased the set for $68 which is an $11 savings!

Enjoy the cool bundles. Hope you snag a deal!

4 stars out of 5

Real Techniques Real Clean Face Erase Makeup Removing Balm is a new fragrance-free solid makeup cleansing balm that contains Hyaluronic Acid and Coconut Oil to hydrate skin as it removes dirt, makeup, and oil. You know I raced my butt over to Amazon to grab me one of these but I’m a little salty about my purchase as I paid $11.88 and Amazon has a coupon now (click the little button under the product to get the discount) for 30% off. Shoot! Why you play me like that, Amazon?

I need another way to cleanse my face like I need a holy in my head but why not? Because really, Real Techniques rock and I needed to try out their very first skincare product right? Will we get more? Maybe a moisturizer in the future? We’ll have to see where this new Real Techniques Real Clean Collection leads.
