Milk Makeup KUSH Hydrating Sheer Lip Oil
NEW Milk Makeup KUSH Hydrating Sheer Lip Oil. This is a sheer, non-sticky lip oil made with hydrating oils that deliver an intense hit of hydration and shine for smoother-, fuller-looking lips. Why is it that every single lip oil release has me đ? It’s interesting that each shade in this line up also has a different flavour. All of them sound good! I don’t know which I’d choose. I will say, these do feel a bit pricey for me. They’re $36 for 5.5mL. Milk Makeup is a high-end makeup brand sold at Sephora, but this is nearing a luxury price point in my opinion. Lip oils have become my…

NEW Kosas BB Burst Tinted Moisturizer Gel Cream with Copper Peptides. Kosas is releasing a clean, tinted gel cream thatâs a fresh take on tinted moisturizerâit delivers a refreshing burst of active skincare, light buildable coverage, and a smooth, hydrated, natural finish.

NYX Blurscreen SPF 30 Primer
NEW NYX Blurscreen SPF 30 Primer. NYX Cosmetics have been killing it with the new releases lately. I’ve added so many of them onto my makeup wish list [cries in makeup low buy]. My number one primer need is to blur my enlarged pores so I was automatically intrigued. Add in super cute packaging, and SPF – I’m there! This is 3-in-1 blurring primer for up to 18h wear and helps protect skin with SPF 30 protection. I definitely recommend still applying your daily sunscreen underneath, but we love the added protection against the sun’s rays. This claims to blur and grip, protect all skin tones with no white cast…
