Buxom Spiced Up Full-On Plumping Lipgloss Returns and Brings PSL Season Early And a Little Pearl Jam Grunge

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

Buxom Spiced Up Full-On Plumping Lipgloss for Fall 2021 with for brand new shades inspired by autumn, Pumpkin Spice Lattes, and basic b1tchery! Buxom released this fun collection last year if you remember but it came at in July. I’m noticing a lot of Fall and Halloween items are popping up A LOT faster than year. Typically we start to see Fall decor in August but this year a lot of different stores have it out already and I find it weird. Ok, granted, I love Fall. Sorry, correction, I LOVE FALL! But I find it a bit weird to see it in June. It sort of scares me. Are they trying to say something? Like get your Fall on now because COVID Part 3 is coming atcha in September. Cringe! 50% of New Yorker is vaccinated at this point which helps! That’s pretty much herd immunity but I’m still concerned about variants and a potential uptick in cases after all the Summer partying I see people doing.

Oh my god I’m ruining this post with my paranoia!

On with the makeup…!

This year, we aren’t getting any Apple Cider inspired shades. All four launching are full on “I listened to Pearl Jam when I was in High School grunge”!

According to Ulta the shades are scented and flavored like either warm vanilla or pumpkin spice.

Shades include:

  • Pippa Pumpkin
  • Pumpkin Chai Latte
  • Spiced Vanilla Latte
  • Vivian Vanilla

The Buxom Spiced Up Full-On Plumping Lip Gloss Collection is available now at Ulta and each shade is $21.

Plan on hauling these?

Artist Couture Supreme Bronze Eyeshadow & Pressed Pigment Palette Brings Nothing New to the Table

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

Hate to say it the Artist Couture Supreme Bronze Eyeshadow & Pressed Pigment Palette brings absolutely nothing new to the eyeshadow world. The Artist Couture Supreme Bronze Eyeshadow & Pressed Pigment Palette is a new Summer 2021 palette release featuring 12 bronze-y eyeshadows for $42. It’s available exclusively on the sephora.com app today and should be available tomorrow on the website. Six of the shades are matte, three are metallic, and three are multidimensional, high-pearl finishes.

I really want to love this. I mean, like really…! But I can’t because I close my eyes and envision the several thousand other bronze palettes I own that have every single one of these shades in them already!

Ugh! I sound like a grumpy old lady this sucks.

It’s a gorgeous sunset palette which I’ve been known to migrate too but if I buy this it’ll be such a toxic romance because I’ll feel guilty knowing I can dupe all these shades with colors I already own! I’m also meh on pressed pigments so that saves me from doing damage I don’t need to do!

Shades include:

  • Mirage (light warm beige)
  • Taupeless (cool taupe)
  • Shady (charcoal)
  • Sunkissed (terracotta orange)
  • Toasty (caramel bronze)
  • Baked (dark chocolate brown)
  • Glisten (gun metal)
  • H.B.I.C (bronze)
  • Soleil (yellow gold)
  • Sand (bronze champagne)
  • Gilded (orange copper)
  • Tantalize (red copper)

Artist Couture Supreme Bronze Eyeshadow & Pressed Pigment Palette is available now.

Think you’ll grab it?

A Love List To Living Like a Warrior

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

Wakey wakey friends! It’s Thursday and the weekend is just in your grasp. Today we toast good Shōjo series, delicious snackies, and false lashes!

Someone dmed me yesterday and said, “Hey, what’s your favorite manga?” So, I wrote this big deal about my fav on Instagram and I’m sure most of you know it was me waxing poetry about Itazura na Kiss. It made me want to watch It Started with a Kiss again! I do so love me some Joe Cheng! Swoon! God, his hair was so bad back than! CRINGE! Don’t get me wrong I love Joe but you know what? Yûki Furukawa isn’t half bad either! What’s your fav series?

A toast to good snackies today…! I’ve been obsessed with Dot’s Pretzels since discovering them at a hardware store upstate during the pandemic. I can’t remember why but we went to the local hardware store for something or another and they had a snack section and I saw these pretzels hanging from the rack and I was like ok, I need these! I was expecting some stale snack because hey, how often do they sell pretzels at a hardware store? But these things are delicious! I could eat an entire bag if I’m not careful! They’re larger pretzel twists that are dusted with this mild spicy season and that’s delicious! Ugh SO GOOD! Amazon.com sells them for anyone that wants to try but don’t say I didn’t warn you! They are SO addicting! My boyfriend swears we had these at a vending machine or something when we were in Colorodo but I DO not remember that! I’d have remembered this yumminess!

Last night I played with liquid eyeliner and false lashes just because…! DORKY THUMBS UP! It came out sh1t! But it was a blast playing around. I used those stupid Too Faced Six Kitten Lashes and nearly poked my eye out getting them on. I RARELY wear false lashes because I look like a try-hard. I always feel like a kid messing with her mom’s makeup when I wear them. I don’t know how influencers do it on the daily. God bless their little souls.

Oh and thank you Matisyahu! Listening to you during my work always inspires me to be my best. I let a few comments get to me yesterday! It’s rare that happens anymore as I’ve been doing this for so long I tend to just ignore them but sometimes I’ve been known to let it eat at me.

Go listen! Be inspired. Matisyahu always cures all the things 🙂

Feel like the world don’t love you
They only want to push you away
Some days people don’t see you
You feel like you’re in the way
Today you feel, as if everyone hates
Pointing their fingers, looking at your mistakes
You do good, they want great
No matter what you give they stilll want to take
Give your love and they throw it back
You give your heart they go on attack
When there’s nothing left for you
Only thing that you can do, say
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, in a fire, in a fire
Fight like a warrior
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, in a fire, in a fire
Live like a warrior
There some things you should let go, there only gonna pull you down
Just like weight on your shoulder they are only gonna make you drown
We all swing high, we all swing low
We all got secrets people don’t know
We all got dreams we can’t let go
We want to brave, don’t be afraid
No
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, in a fire, in a fire
Fight like a warrior
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, in a fire, in a fire
Live like a warrior
Your heart is too heavy from things you carry a long time
Been up you been down, tired and you don’t know why
But you’re never gonna go back, you only live one life
Let go, let go, let goooo
Let go, let go, let goooo
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, in a fire, in a fire
Live like a warrior
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, in a fire, in a fire
Live like a warrior
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, in a fire, in a fire
Fight like a warrior
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, in a fire, in a fire
Live like a warrior

Go out and live like a warrior today.

Be strong humans.

I know you got this.

When you have a sec, let me know what’s on your love list today!

KVD Beauty Planet Fanatic Fully Recyclable Eyeshadow Palette Is Here and Will Probably Go On Sale In A Sec

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

KVD Beauty Planet Fanatic Fully Recyclable Wet/Dry Eyeshadow Palette is a new 14-pan eyeshadow palette featuring matte and metallic shades inspired by the Earth’s greatest terrains. The palette comes housed is a fully recyclable compact (no need to disassemble to recycle) that has a clear top with a star design. KVD Beauty really revamped packaging as it’s no where near the level of some of Kat’s old tattoo decorated palettes from days of old. This is fairly basic and plain. Remember the intricate design of palettes like the Kat Von D Anniversary Palette and the Spellbinding Eyeshadow Book or even the gorgeous Kat Von D Deluxe Uber Gift Set with the gorgeous train case.

It’s understandable that the packaging is a little different no since Kat is no longer involved with the brand!

This is a pretty round up of browns and nudes with a few cooler mauves and pinks thrown in. It’s not really something I need and I feel like by the time August rolls around the $45 price tag will be slashed 50% just the way the Edge of Reality Fully Recyclable Eyeshadow Palette for Holiday 2020 was!

Shades

  • Fault Line (sand dune yellow matte)
  • Dune Shift (golden bronze shimmer)
  • Tectonic (soft amber-beige matte)
  • Biophilia (forest green-gold shimmer)
  • Tidal Flow (ocean gray-purple matte)
  • Permafrost (multidimensional ice-white shimmer)
  • Organism (rose gold quartz shimmer)
  • Igneous (lava rock orange matte)
  • Isotope (fiery gold shimmer)
  • Solar Wind (molten copper shimmer)
  • Fragment (soft ash-gray matte)
  • Strata (soft pink sandstone matte)
  • Crater (mauve clay matte)
  • Biomass (amethyst gold shimmer)

Do you love the KVD Beauty Planet Fanatic Fully Recyclable Wet/Dry Eyeshadow Palette?

Or is it a leave?
