Urban Decay · Born To Run Collection
Every time I think or look at Urban Decay’s Born To Run Collection, Bruce Springsteen’s song of the same name starts playing in an endless loop in my head (#earworm) and while I’m not a fan of the song, I’m definitely head over heels for the makeup. Inspired by the globe-trotting adventurista in all of us, it includes a 21-eyeshadow Eyeshadow Palette, 3 new Vice Lipsticks and 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils, all of which aim to have you covered no matter your destination … airfare [sadly] not included.
Benefit · Gold Rush & Blush Bar
Benefit, the brand known for its fun retro-kitschy packaging and some of the beauty-world’s most iconic products (Benetint, Hoola, Gimme Brow — to name but a few), has recently added to their Box O’ Powder collection of blushes with Gold Rush, and even if the name doesn’t pique your interest, I’m betting the colour definitely will. For those who want to go that extra mile, you can also snag the Blush Bar, this year’s coveted cheek palette from the brand; either way, you really can’t go wrong!
NARS x Erdem · Strange Flowers Collection, Part 1
Today’s post is something that figuratively and literally, took my breath away when it arrived: the NARS x Erdem Strange Flowers Summer 2018 Collection. The brand collaborated once again with celebrated fashion designer Erdem Moralioglu — who also happens to be Montréal-born (like me), to bring this 13-piece limited edition capsule collection to life. Filled with unique new shades & products, the packaging is adorned with one of three original floral prints specifically created by Erdem, and after you see it all, I’m sure that like me, you won’t know whether to wear or frame everything.
Urban Decay · Beached Eyeshadow Palette
I may love the rich colours of Fall/Winter beauty, but my heart belongs to Summer collections — even more so when they happen to be surf-themed. Which is probably why when Urban Decay’s Beached Eyeshadow Palette arrived, I figuratively + literally dove in and next thing I knew, I was dreaming about sand, sun, & Piña Coladas. Actually, it’s closer to the truth to say I immediately went online and started planning my next vay-cay (I’ll even take a virtual beach at this point …)
Dior · Cool Wave Summer 2018, Eyes
There’s just something about Summer makeup that I can’t resist; maybe it’s because I’m a July baby — but in the case of Dior’s Cool Wave Summer 2018 Collection, I’m going to say it’s mainly because of the collection itself. I mean, Just look at these palettes for God’s sake ∗swoon∗ Inspired by the contrasts between aquatic hues and sizzling sunny days, Peter Philips (Creative & Image Director for Dior Makeup), has basically brought Summer to life with these pieces. Oh, yeah …
