Finally Christian Louboutin Loubiworld perfumes are finally available in a Scent Library Set at an an affordable price. I’ve been wanting to try these for a while and wasn’t really up for that $300 Travel Set they introduced!

I’ve smelled almost all of them but I really want to see how they wear on my skin!

Christian Louboutin Loubiworld Scent Library Set is a complete collection of all six scents that come in 0.14 oz vials.

You get:

• Loubifunk Fragrance: a carnival of rose, blackcurrant and patchouli that is an invitation to dance and celebrate the sheer joy of living.
• Loubiraj Fragrance: a majestic and wild leather-woody fragrance that roars intensely with a full-bodied blend of suede, cedar and pink pepper.
• Loubidoo Fragrance: a fruity, floral scent that’s high on mischief, blending the direct simplicity of strawberry with the opulence of rose and cedar.
• Loubikiss Fragrance: an ode to eternal love, this floral and woody scent is composed of a bouquet of jasmine, tuberose and musk.
• Loubirouge Fragrance: an oriental spicy spectacle for the senses combining cardamom, iris and vanilla.
• Loubicrown Fragrance: a woody oriental scent to crown you in confidence, with notes of cedar, patchouli and tonka bean accord.
• Loubicroc Fragrance: a potent spicy oriental scent created with myrrh, cypriol and sandalwood.

The vials are throwing me off a bit as I’d have preferred them to be in travel sprays but none the less this will make trying them a bit easier and seeing how they react with my body chemistry. The set is $60 and it ships free!

Wakey wakey my friends! It’s currently 5AM and my eyes are at that glued together stage! I normally don’t have allergies but for some reason my eyes have been watery and itchy lately (as well as my nose) and it makes me wake up with them feeling like they are half closed. I’m so not a morning person….! This makes it worst….! I may die before the day is over. A little drama for you there to start the day…!

Good news, by the time this reaches you we’ll all be wide awake, bright eyed and bushy tailed!

Motivation for today don’t forget to tell yourself you’re pretty. I don’t give a damn I’m totally telling myself I’m pretty, witty and wise because I have on Melt Genesis Digital Dust Highlighter on and it makes me feel so beautiful! I use it as a blush and a highlighter. It’s a really pretty golden peach on my cheeks. I swear this stuff makes me feel like I can slay the world!

I think makeup can really up anyone’s confidence game! I’m really not the one to preach to the choir about how you should be telling yourself you’re pretty as I don’t do it myself! I rule the land of self-deprecation but I think makeup makes me feel pretty and more confident. It makes me feel a little better about looking at myself in the mirror and saying, “You look pretty today!”

The thing is, it’s nice hearing someone else tell you’re pretty but it’s even more important for you to tell yourself that! I’m over here right not to tell you that you’re stunning! Gorgeous!

But please, remember to tell yourself that too today!

Happy Monday friends.

Go be pretty!

Benefit California Kissin’ ColorBalm Moisturizing Lip Balm ($21) are a new pigmented, moisturizing lip balm that launched in 16 shades. These are formulated with wild mango butter and hyaluronic acid to keep lips hydrated and smooth. Benefit also promises up to eight hours of wear with these.

What did you think when you first saw them?

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters? Yup! Me too! Can you believe it’s been 10 years since they launched them? They should totally bring them back! I bet I can guess everyone’s favorite shade. Ready? PINK TRUFFLE! Totally the base pink brown ever! It was always such a great MLBB (my lips but better) shade for me. I dunno if Benefit’s formula is going to compete with Revlon’s but let’s hope so! Revlon is busy restructuring currently but what they should do is bring these back! I’d buy ’em!

Shades:

• Boho Chill (spiced red)
• Dream On (rosewood)
• Far Out (blackberry)
• Flower Power (pink rose)
• Free Spirit (fuchsia)
• Good Karma (coral)
• Good Vibes (berry)
• Make Love (nude pink)
• Merlot Mama (wine)
• Outta Sigh (ruby)
• Party Girl (poppy)
• Peace Out (pomegranate)
• Right On (peach pink)
• Sheer Bliss (pink quartz)
• Soul Sister (nude rose)
• Wild Child (cherry)

I know the promo images are looking good. They look very shiny and very pigmented! I have matte exhaustion for realsie and anything that gives me a bit of shine is a welcome change…!

Benefit California Kissin’ ColorBalm Moisturizing Lip Balm are available now at Ulta as well as on Benefit’s website and I’m sure that Sephora will get them shortly as well!

Which shades are you loving?

My little girl side readily admits that anything Barbie gets me super excited especially this Caboodles Malibu Barbie Collection. Don’t hate me the Colourpop Malibu Barbie Collection did nothing for me but I’m feeling this Caboodles Collection. I mean, it’s Barbie and Caboodles…! I have such fond memories of both! Beauty confession! I still have my lilac marble shaded Caboodle from years and years and years ago back when dinosaurs roamed the beauty world.

I have so many great memories of Barbie. My sister is a older than I am and I remember she always used to get me Barbies for birthday and Christmas gifts. I had all sorts of accessories, play sets, etc…! I think everyone has at least one feel good Barbie memory!

Ulta.com has two different Caboodle Malibu Barbie Cases. Sadly, the design is limited to a little Barbie emblem on the opening clasp but hey, I’ll take it. There’s a smaller Caboodles Malibu Barbie On-The-Go Girl for $24.99 with a single tray and a flip lid with mirror and the Caboodles Malibu Barbie Ultimate XL On-The-Go Girl which is a larger case with three tiers and a pull out tray for extra storage at the base.

Do I need these? No…!

Do I sort of want one? Yes!

My inner kid just can’t say no! If you want one use 995921 to get 20% off.

Caboodles Malibu Barbie Collection is available now at Ulta!

Have you ever loved a lipstick or an eyeliner or a moisturizer so much that you felt the need to stock up on it? Don’t worry! You aren’t alone! I’ve totally had moments where I’ve hoarded away some fragrance, skincare, or even a MAC Pigment or two that I loved. I think some of the psychology behind this is the fear it’ll be discontinued but another fear is that the formula will change. I’ve seen this happen time and time again! I’ll fallen in with something, use it to the very last drop, re-purchase again and again but there comes a point when it feels like the formula changed.

Here’s some beauty products that I swear changed their formulas.
