Loving Lately: New in Beauty

Hey you! One of the best parts of being a beauty blogger is trying out the latest releases. I get all into it with taking notes and using products usually a month before you see them here. I file it on a spreadsheet and keep records. There's a whole system involved. I might be a little obsessed with beauty, but I love it! Speaking of that, I've got lots of products to share today, so let's get into it, with what I've been loving lately:





This week marked the fifth anniversary of my very first blog DIY: a pumpkin facial mask. It was the first big hit I had on the blog with a thousand hits--before Pinterest! It's been fun to look back at the nearly 300 free DIYs I have shared on here and how I've changed (and the photos, because I used to only use a flip phone). I linked a few above you might want to try this weekend.

Mirabella Jewel Thief Collection--How cute and unique is the packaging on this shadow palette? There are two palettes in this collection: Diamond Deceit (pictured) and Lavender Larceny feature 5 vibrant three-dimensional colors.


 Also included in the collection are 2 Velvet Lip Pencils in Wanted (pictured) and Vice. This collection will be released in October. Pictured also is an eye pencil. The quality of the palette (swatched above) is stellar--pigmented, silky, and smooth. The lip pencil is lovely and the color lasted on my lips. I can't say enough good things about this collection. $25-$48, mirabellabeauty.com




Softsoap Fresh & Glow Fruit Polish and Shower Cream--This came at the perfect time last month as I was running low on body wash. I love when that happens! The Exfoliating Fruit Polish smells delicious with extract of kiwi and orange and apricot seeds to exfoliate skin. The Hydrating Shower Cream smells so yummy with milk, coconuts, and almonds. $3.49, stores nationwide

Baby Foot Original Exfoliant Foot Peel--I can't tell you how many times I've purchased this. I've shared it on here plenty of times. Essentially it's plastic boots filled with fruit extracts that you leave on feet for a bit. Then in 5-7 days, your feet will begin peeling (this is straight up kinda gross/kinda fascinating) leaving you with super-soft feet. It's painless and easy. $25, online

Travalo Milano--another repurchase for me--I love to give these for gifts. This is a portable perfume atomizer. You remove the tip of your perfume nozzle and set the bottom of the Travalo on top. Pump the Travalo to fill it up. It's so easy and leak-free. This is the newest and most luxurious Travalo to date and comes in 8 colors. The Milano has the pioneering new spray head technology, which produces a finer mist dispersing perfume over a wider area and holds 65 sprays.  www.us.travalo.com for $49.99. I'm giving one away if you're interested--just let me know in the comments!


 YSL Rouge Pur Couture Lipsticks in No. 19 Fuchsia and No. 9 Rose--Normally, I try things about for about a month or so, but I had to share these now! Aren't they so pretty? I'm totally batting my eyes over here. 


They are very moisturizing and are pigmented, and I think the colors are wearable. Excuse the hastily-applied swatches above--it was 11pm and I was tired :) $36 I received these from Influenster.

  2. I definitely need to try that Baby Foot stuff! It sounds weird but since I wear sandals so often it sounds like the perfect solution. And those lip colors are amazing!

  7. I loved the YSL lipsticks, especially the pink one, since they are moisturizing. The Mirabella palette is so cute! Beautiful colors and the way it is, like earrings! I loved that! And more than 300 DIYs, wow! Congratulations! This is the right month to talk about the first one, the pumpkin mask - pumpkins are, in my opinion, such a nice symbol for fall!

  36. Ahhh no! I wish that Softsoap fruit polish had been at Target when I bought exfoliating body wash! I bought Softsoap brand coconut scrub or something, but it doesn't really seem scrubby enough...if that makes sense. Haha. Like the ratio of beads to liquid isn't enough!

  37. Whoa, spreadsheet?! You are dedicated! Though I've known that for months. haha I appreciate all your testing, trust me! I have a huge obsession with shower gel. I have three right now (which is pretty normal). Olay released a Cinnamon one and I want it sooo bad! I made a promise to my fiance I'd finish at least one of the bottles in our shower though. (; I think he's annoyed with my clutter. haha I've been thinking about getting a certain family member those baby foot peels ever since I saw Dani from CoffeeBreakWithDani talk about them. Glad to know they are catching on!

  49. I want those baby foot "booties"... :) Not sure if I can find them here, but I will be looking around. Here, I treated myself to a couple of new polishes in wine red - always feels right, especially in autumn. x

  50. Those YSL shades are gorgeous! I'm kicking myself in the rear because I kept passing up the survey for it since I didn't have a set forwarding address for mail yet. I didn't want to opt in and have them send it to my old address.

  51. I'm so fascinated by Baby Foot. One day I think I will have to try it since everyone says it works wonders!

    How do you clean out your Travalo in between different perfumes? I have a travel perfume bottle (I can't remember the brand) and I put a perfume in it once, washed it out and it still smells of that perfume months later! Haven't used it since...

    ReplyDelete
  52. I keep hearing more and more about Babyfoot! I'll have to try it during the winter... when no one needs to look at my feet.

  53. I got my hands on on a nude shade of YSL rouge pur couture and fell in LOVE. I ended up going back and getting a second nude shade lol. I got #6 and #10. The latter is my fave, it's more pink based.
