1 stars out of 5

Tree Hut Rainbow Sherbet Shea Sugar Body Scrub is one of several new body scrubs that launched for Summer 2024. Lord knows, I do not need another Tree Hut Body Scrub but this one was too tempting and it somehow fell into my cart during a recent Target visit. These scrubs are an affordable little treat myself type of moment and I love when they release the seasonal ones (although, I’m always scared that the limited-edition ones will never return). I’m convinced these scrubs have made my elbows the smoothest they’ve ever been.

This scrub has the traditionally squishy, blobby consistency all Tree Hut Scrubs have. They aren’t terribly greasy nor oily (which is a perk as I’m not slipping around the shower when I use them) but still have a grainy consistency that acts to exfoliate skin without being too harsh.

But what’s Tree Hut Rainbow Sherbet Shea Sugar Body Scrub smell like? That’s the important question right?

Too Faced Mini Born This Way Complexion-Inspired Eyeshadow Palette for Summer 2024

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

Brace yourself their are two new mini Too Faced Mini Born This Way Eyeshadow Palettes arriving soon for Summer 2024. The Too Faced Mini Born This Way Complexion-Inspired Eyeshadow Palette will be available in two shade selections and each one will contain six eyeshadows each for $29 each. The eyeshadows range in size from 0.01 oz each to 0.04 oz each. If you hate palettes that aren’t uniform in size this design might bug you a little bit but if you’ve collected Too Faced Eyeshadow Palettes you’ll totally me familiar with this style of palette as they’ve always had this weird way of including different sizes in one palette.

The Too Faced Mini Born This Way Complexion-Inspired Eyeshadow Palette are available in the shades Ember Nudes and Smolder Nudes. These two shades are inspired by “the beautiful nuances of real skin tones”. Well, two shades to represent a slew of different skin tones might be limiting. A better way of looking at it is hey, which shades do I like best without the whole “these will flatter my skin tone”! Because honestly, I’ve never been one to follow rules about what shades I should use to flatter my skin tone, eye and hair shade, etc…!

Both palettes are cruelty-free and promise creamy, silky, and highly pigmented eyeshadows! Although, I think we can all agree that Too Faced Eyeshadows haven’t been pique performance in a while now but sometimes they surprise us!

The original Too Faced Born This Way The Natural Nudes Eyeshadow Palette launched in Spring 2020 and a follow up was created called the Born this Way Sunset Stripped Eyeshadow Palette for Spring 2022. Both are solid palettes! I’m particularly a fan of the Sunset Stripped Palette. I was naysayer when it launched but it’s actually quite beautiful! These were $45 at the time of launch and are now $52 (If Sunset is on your wish list head to hsn.com today to snag it with free shipping for $26). Each one contained 16 shades each with a total of 0.5 oz of shadow. As you can see the new Too Faced Mini Born This Way Complexion-Inspired Eyeshadow Palette is a good deal smaller at nearly $30 in price! Ouch! And I’m not sure if these offer anything majorly different when it comes to shade selections. I wouldn’t say the shades are duplicates from the other Born this Way Palettes but they do look a lot similar not to mention you probably have shades like this in other palettes you own. I am curious to try these none the less. I’m just over here being nosy and wondering if the shadow formula is worth the cost.

Too Faced Warm Amber Nudes Mini Born This Way Complexion-Inspired Eyeshadow Palette shades:

  • Rose-Toasty (shimmering warm rosey pink)
  • Warm Ember (soft caramel)
  • Sizzle (deep copper bronze)
  • Cream Puff (warm petal pink)
  • Golden Girl (true champagne gold)
  • Bring the Heat (rich red brown)

Too Faced Cold Smolder Nudes Mini Born This Way Complexion-Inspired Eyeshadow Palette shades:

  • Moonstone (cool shimmering champagne)
  • Driftwood (cool taupe grey)
  • Sparkle & Chill (metallic gunmetal)
  • Urthy (cool cream nude)
  • Show Off (shimmering silver)
  • Cold Smolder (deep heather grey)

Laneige Dreamy Lip Kit Featuring Peach Iced Tea

Is Laneige Peace Iced Tea Lip Sleeping Masks a new flavor for Spring/Summer 2024? It appears so as it’s being featured in the new Laneige Dreamy Lip Kit that will be available at Sephora for $20. What does the new Laneige Dreamy Lip Kit include this time around? The set comes with four mini Laneige Lip Sleeping Masks in Berry, Sweet Candy, Mango, and most importantly the brand new Peach Iced Tea flavor! Each of these are 0.10 oz and the set is priced at $20. I really love the mini sets as they are perfect for travel and keeping in purse or in your desk drawer because I’m one that doesn’t only use them as an overnight treatment. I use them all of time to add moisture and a bit of shine to my lips.

The new Peach Iced Tea flavor sounds fun! Last year, we got another drink flavor which was the Laneige Pink Lemonade Swirl Lip Sleeping Mask that I’m still convinced is one of their best flavors to date! They seem to favor fun, fruity drinks for Spring/Summer releases! I really didn’t expect a new flavor so soon after the launch of the recent Cotton Candy Lip Sleeping Mask they did a few short months ago but time does fly and seasons change quickly so, Peach Iced Tea seems right on schedule for the warmer weather to come!

There isn’t any word as of yet if this new flavor will be sold as full-size Sleeping Mask or if it will be exclusive to the new Dreamy Lip Kit but I’m leaning towards saying they might just surprise us with a full-size and maybe, just maybe another flavor as well!

The set is always a great little treat yourself value at $20. Laneige releases these little about twice a year with a big push during the Holiday and they always stay at a reasonable $20. They aren’t overly scented and flavored either which is a plus if you’re a sensitive user. The flavors and scents are normally very subtle.

I’ll be picking up the Laneige Dreamy Lip Kit for sure. How about you?

Tarte Shape Tape Glow Blush Bar for Spring 2023

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

Well, speaking of dupes we got Tarte Shape Tape Glow Blush Bar coming in hot for the Spring/Summer 2024 season and it’s serving up some rather delicious Hourglass Ambient Palette vibes isn’t it? Available in two shade selections the new Tarte Shape Tape Glow Blush Bar contains three baked powder blushes that contain “Amazonian Clay Diamond Complex” which promises to reflect the light and give a 3D blurring effect and a radiant lit-from-within-glow. Although, named the “Blush Bar” this is more of a highlighter and blusher palette and in the case of the darker palette, it’s more of a bronzer and blusher palette! However, I will say the blushes do dominate as you’re getting two shades of blush and one highlighter in the lighter palette called The Rose Bar and one darker shade in the palette called The Berry Bar.

This concept isn’t necessarily new as I believe it was last year when Tarte released their Shape Tape Glow Bar Palette which came in the same packaging but that particular palette featured bronzer and highlighter shades no blush. Personally, the blush is a huge incentive for me to buy as I’m not much of a highlighter or bronzer girl but I do love blush. These feel very Hourglass Ambient Palette looking but what’s drawing me in is the fact they look a tiny bit like the Pat Mcgrath x Bridgerton Blushing Delights Palette which I adore. That palette not only has a selection of beautiful shades but also, they have the most beautiful radiant finish. I could swear that the middle pink blush in the Berry Bar Palette is a dupe for the pink shade in the Pat Mcgrath Palette! I love the palette so much and I really should get a backup! So many people were having great success finding it at TJMaxx at a discount but I never did. But if you are comparing this palette to Hourglass just know you’re getting .45 oz of product for $49 versus Hourglass at .30 for $70 bucks.

Tarte Shape Tape Glow The Rose Blush Bar
Shades:

  • Champagne Glow
  • Luminous Rosy Peach
  • Luminous Rose

Tarte Shape Tape Glow The Berry Blush Bar
Shades:

  • Bronze Glow
  • Luminous Strawberry
  • Luminous Berry

But I digress…! I think I need both of these new Tarte Shape Tape Glow Blush Bars. I rarely found anything Tarte tempting as of late but these look stunning. They are steep at $49 each but the heart wants what the heart wants LOL!

Tarte Shape Tape Glow Blush Bar is available now!
