Hey guys! For today's blog post we are going to be talking about new and upcoming makeup releases and if I am considering picking them up! I love
Samantha March's popular "Will I Buy It?" Youtube series and thought it would be so fun to bring it to my blog! Since there is
SO MANY launches on the
DAILY, i decided to choose 5 products I would like and 5 that I don't intend on getting!
Alamar Cosmetics recently launched their Colorete blush trios ($22 each) and Mother of Pearl glosses ($11 each) and honestly, I'm drooling! The blush trios are what really caught my eye. I love that they have three different palettes so there is something suitable for every skin tone! The one for fair/light skin tones is the one for me, and I am
SO HAPPY that they chose peachy tones! They are some of my favorite blush shades and absolutely perfect for spring! The glosses also look absolutely beautiful - I have really been enjoying a nice glossy lip and these shades are perfect for everyday. I feel like I would get a ton of use out of these products!
BH Cosmetics and
@itsmyrayeraye have just launched another collab - YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! These shades speak to me on
SO MANY LEVELS! I have had such amazing experiences with BH's eyeshadow formulas and retailing at $17.50, the price isn't bad at all! I am so happy to see brands be more creative and colorful with their shadows. I love working with color so much, especially these particular tones, so this palette has me
EXCITED!
Mac Cosmetics recently announced that they will be launching this collection, Electric Wonder.
Now, is it just me, or do you think of something a bit more exciting than this when you hear the words "Electric Wonder"? The packaging is beautiful, there's no doubt about that, but the shades are just so bland and typical in my personal opinion! I like to see Mac stepping away from the quads and producing actual palettes, but this just doesn't do it for me.
Lets be real,
theBalm does no wrong when it comes to packaging! Their brand is one of my absolute favorites when it comes to aesthetic, and this AutoBalm collection ($26.50 each) is no different! Putting that aside, the product itself just isn't screaming to me. The color schemes aren't the worst on the market, but they aren't very exciting in my opinion. Besides that, they have cream formulas mixed into the powder eyeshadow palettes, and that's just a complete no go for me. If I were to consider picking up anything, it would be the GRL PWDR blush quad (far left), but even that doesn't really call to me, so I think it is safe to say that I will skip on everything.
Every time I feel like the beauty industry is just releasing
blah and
boring releases, I look to my indie brands, and they never disappoint!
Lick and Lash Beauty just launched their Playful Palette, and it is everything my dreams are made of. There are so many variations on purples, blues, and greens - which I have been
SO INTO lately - and you can never go wrong with pinks in my book! There are a good mixture of mattes and shimmers as well as various options for transitions, deepening the outer v, etc. Just looking at this I can think of some many fun looks I could do, and that excites me! The only draw back that I can think of is that it is a larger palette - which I don't necessarily mind, it just makes it a bit harder to store! Lick and Lash Beauty is a UK based brand, and this palette retails for £30, or about $40 USD.
Beauty Guru
Nikita Dragun has launched the first two product in her own brand,
Dragun Beauty. She launched a
universal color corrector ($25) and a finishing powder duo ($35). From a
products perspective, these two items are ones that I am not interested in buying. I love a glowy finishing powder, but I am not willing to spend $35 on a duo when I have ones from the drugstore that I already own and love. The color corrector is a very dark red, so although it says "universal", I have a hunch that it still won't work on my fair skin. Also, these are two
very random products to launch a brand with, right? Or is that just me?
Too Faced recently launched their Natural Lust collection and I am absolutely LIVING for the packaging - which is pretty typical when it comes to Too Faced! However, I will be skipping over this collection. Nothing in it is screaming to me, and the eyeshadow palette is honestly the exact opposite of what I want. If I could just have the last two columns, I would be absolutely thrilled! The other 20 shades are pretty much the same neutrals and completely unnecessary in my opinion. Ringing in at $59 for virtually the same shades is a pass for me.
Emme Cosmetics announced that they will soon be releasing the Flower Garden palette and I am so incredibly excited! The palette itself is limited edition, but once that is gone the singles will be sold individually, which I think is incredible! The shades are absolutely
STUNNING and I love how cohesive, yet not repetitive, this collection is. I have never tried anything from this Canada-based brand, but I would love to! Hopefully I will be able to get my hands on these soon!
Zoeva Cosmetics released their Melody Collection, including this eyeshadow palette ($26.50). I love the butterflies on the packaging, and the swatches seem promising, however I will be passing on this. I feel like Zoeva is known to be pretty neutral and everyday when it comes to their color schemes, and this seems to be a major step up for them! The purple is stunning, and those last three shades look very beautiful as well, but at the end of the day, this is still a little too simple for me. Instead of the "neutral with a pop of blue" that we have been seeing, this is a "neutral with a pop of purple" - very pretty but not for me.
Lastly, Etsy brand
Eccentric Cosmetics just released these super fun and colorful liquid eyeliners ($10 each) and I am so intrigued by them! I have been wanting to have some different liners to play with so these really caught my eye. This is a type of product that you don't really see often, and it makes me so happy to see brands think outside of the box and give us products that we don't already see every day. They are really affordable and I would be supporting a smaller brand, which I love even more!
Have you guys picked any of these items up? Do you want to/not want to? Let me know your thoughts, I'd love to hear from you! Thank you so much for reading this post - I hope that you will consider sticking around for more!
Have an amazing day everyone 😊
