Go Faux | False Lashes
I’ve been learning more and more about what it takes to produce a mink lash, and am not too impressed by this being passed as “cruelty-free’. While I understand the different between vegan and cruelty-free, I feel on this front they’re blurring the lines. Mink are not friendly, sociable animals. I can guarantee they are not happy sitting in their cages, and the manufacturers are not snuggling and combing them to retrieve the hairs.

This beauty trend has been trying to gain traction for almost a year but I think I’m finally ready to hop on this train. It is the blurred, blotted, soft matte, stain effect lip.

Moving Onto Smaller and Better Things
Who says bigger is always better? New trend in the makeup community: smaller palettes! Gone are the days when we wanted the huge, 35 pan palettes. Give us all the 5, and 9 pans. Not only are they easier to store and travel with, you get use out of every single shade! Along with their smaller size, you’re seeing smaller price tags as well. More and more, we’re seeing these pint-sized palettes being released from brands like Huda Beauty, Natasha Denona, and Dose of Colors. Have you been into the smaller palettes as much as I have? Which one are you planning on buying next?Photo Credit: Temptalia
