Bareminerals recently launched 20 new BAREPRO Longwear weightless gel formula lipsticks ($20 for 0.07 oz each). Inspired by nature's color palette, from nudes to brights to dark range of shades. So there's a shade for everyone! It's a full-coverage, mineral-rich lipstick with a soft matte finish that locks color in place for up to 8 hours. The comfortable matte formula glides on the lips effortlessly. It's formulated with a blend of antioxidant of Baobab and Berry oils, sunflower seed, and jojoba wax to protect, nourish and condition your lips.

The lipsticks are housed in sleek matte black tubes that fits perfectly inside your bag. The slightly slanted lipstick bullet allows a precise application without any feathering or bleeding. These lipsticks go on very creamy and smooth, but it dries down to a matte finish. They are highly pigmented, hydrating and budge-proof. Unlike some of the other matte formula, these lipsticks won't dry out your lips. I love that these lipsticks are formulated without mineral oil, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and it contains less than one percent of synthetic fragrances. It's also gluten, talc, and cruelty-free.

BareMinerals BAREPRO Longwear Lipstick
Final Verdict:
These lipsticks have a unique gel-like formula with a great color payoff. With a single swipe, it will provide a medium to full coverage finish. The only shade that needed a few more swipes was Raisin since it applies a bit sheer I have to use a liner with that shade for an even finish.
I'm someone who prefers a comfort matte or glossy finish over liquid lipsticks so these are right up my alley. As always, I gravitated towards the nudes, mauves and corals and my favorite shades are Nutmeg, Saffron, Spice, Peony, Cinnamon, Petal, Bloom, Strawberry, and Geranium. These are definitely long-wearing lipsticks but not completely transfer proof. It lasted for hours till I had lunch and I only had to touch up once. I would highly recommend you check these out specially if you're planning on shopping during the Sephora sale.

Urban Decay Born To Run Collection
Born To Run Eyeshadow Palette $49 housed in a sleek, thin rectangle palette it also has a full-size mirror inside and the exterior of the palette has prints of travel destinations. I love the packaging it's like looking into someone's vacation photos.
There are 21 eyeshadows it's a mix of matte, satin and shimmery finish. I love the shades in this palette it's got the perfect mix of colorful and wearable neutral shades. The shadows are highly pigmented, and the texture is velvety smooth with minimal fall outs. I used this palette 5-6 times, and the only shade I had issues with is Wildheart it went on a bit patchy it's still pigmented, but it's not up to par with the rest of the shadows in the palette. Usually, matte shadows tend to be more on the powdery side. However, this is not the case here I'm really impressed with the formula and how they performed. The shimmers are even better it applied like a dream thanks to the smooth formula, and it lasts all day long!

Urban Decay Vice Lipsticks Born To Run Collection
Born To Run Collection Vice Lipsticks $18 the three limited edition lipsticks have similar travel destination photo packaging as the eyeshadow palette. I will be honest I was not thrilled about the shades at first even the neutral lipstick seemed too dark, but once I swatched the lipsticks, I was warming up to the mauve nude lipstick shade 66. The comfort matte formula really lives up to its name it's very comfortable on the lips, nicely saturated and it lasts for 3-4 hours before it starts fading. I love deep berry shades especially during fall and winter so Marfa will transition nicely into fall. The Metallic have a comfortable formula although it's a bit sheer the glitter is very fine, so it doesn't look over the top, and it's also long-lasting. But I'm not a huge fan of metallic lipstick so needless to say Ready? was my least favorite.

Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray
All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray $15 this also has the same limited edition packaging as the eyeshadow palette and lipsticks. This setting spray was developed in an exclusive partnership with SKINDINÄVIA, this groundbreaking, a clinically tested formula is suitable for all skin types, and features patented Temperature Control Technology. It actually lowers the temperature of your makeup to keep foundation, eyeshadow, blush, and concealer in place—even in hot and humid or cold and windy conditions.
The travel size makeup setting spray keeps makeup looking just-applied for up to 16 hours. The sprayer delivers a microfine mist that goes on so light, it's non-sticky, and it doesn't settle into fine lines. This is great for all skin types especially if you have oily/combination skin I love using this spray during summer it really helps my makeup last all day long.

Urban Decay Born To Run Collection 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil
24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil $21 the two new shades and one cult-favorite (Lucky) are the perfect complements to any Born To Run eye look. I remember discovering UD eye pencils when I was 18, and it's been one of my favorite product since then the shade Zero is a must-have for me.
These liners are incredibly soft, and creamy so no need to tug your eyelids they glide on like butter and it's also waterproof. It's easy to smudge so you can use them as a base for your eyeshadow or create the perfect winged liner. I love all three shades I've been using them as a base for my eyeshadows it helps intensify the eyeshadows, so it's ideal for nighttime looks. The fun fact about the 24/7 glide-on liners is that its creamy for about 30 seconds then it dries down to a long-lasting finish.

Final Verdict:
I think I haven't been this excited about an eyeshadow palette in a while I love everything about this palette from the packaging to the formula its perfection. I can see myself traveling with this palette since it has a great selection of shades and finishes so I can create a variety of looks with just this palette. I know we all have more than enough palettes in our collection, but this is a palette you don't want to skip out on! My top picks are the eye pencils, eyeshadow palette and the travel size makeup setting spray.

Givenchy 2018 Rouge Couture Edition
Givenchy 2018 Rouge Couture Edition has officially launched, and it includes their best sellers Le Rouge Lipstick in N315 Framboise ($40 for 0.12oz) and Prisme Libre Loose Powder in N01 Mousseline Pastel ($60 for 0.42 0z). Both products are encased in a Limited Edition genuine leather couture case that's dressed in a floral pattern.
Givenchy 2018 Rouge Couture Edition
For this Spring, the theme for Givenchy seems to be lush moody florals I say moody cause the black background against the floral patterns gives off a dark vibe. I love the packaging and I wanted to learn more about the collection, but there was not enough information available. So, I did a little research, and I came across Givenchy 2013 Ready-to-Wear collection, which had similar floral prints. The floral patterns are almost identical but the Givenchy 2018 Rouge Couture Edition has more vibrant colors, and the flowers are slightly different. I'm not sure if the 2013 collection were the main inspiration for this recent Couture collection, but there is some resemblance. I have collected a few images from Vogue so you can have a look.

Now that we have learned a little about the Givenchy 2018 Rouge Couture Edition collection let's talk about the products. Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Powder in N01 Mousseline Pastel is an iconic loose powder that helps achieve a mattified yet radiant complexion. This is a fusion of four complimentary, complexion refining shades that together, create a made-to-measure, color correcting finish. There are five shades available, but only N01 comes in the limited edition packaging. Prisme Libre Loose Powder is housed in a sturdy, thick plastic jar, twist to unlock the top and inside you'll find a soft powder puff. The signature logo screen releases the perfect amount of each shade, allowing you to easily blend colors together for a sheer natural result. N01 Mousseline Pastel powder has a mix of pastel green, blue, lilac, and a creamy white shade. This powder is finely milled, it has a silky smooth texture, it's exceptionally lightweight, and it sets your foundation and concealer without any caking or creasing. I have a travel size of this powder (review here) which I really like, but during summer when I get a tan this shade is a bit light for me. Although it's almost transparent, during summer, when I'm much darker you can tell I used a powder that's too light for my complexion which is not so flattering. I do love the consistency of this powder it really helps give you a smooth base, it doesn't cling to any dry patches and it did a pretty good job at keeping the oil at bay. For someone with my skin tone, I would prefer the shade 2 or 3 but if you have pale to medium light skin tone, N01 should be a great match for you. This Powder is lightly scented I kind of like the fresh scent, it's not too overpowering, and it dissipates quickly.

Givenchy 2018 Rouge Couture Edition
Givenchy 2018 Rouge Couture Edition Lipstick in N315 Framboise is a bright raspberry semi-matte shade. Le Rouge lipsticks are lightweight, highly saturated with intense yet wearable pigments, and the formula has a soft buttery texture that glides on the lips like a dream. I'm a huge fan of Givenchy lipsticks the luxurious leather packaging is to die for. The comfortable, long wearing, velvety, and the ultra-smooth formula doesn't dry out my lips. Despite the creamy texture, it didn't smudge or bleed I didn't use a lipliner and it was very easy to outline my lips. N315 Framboise is not a new shade however it is new to me. I'm not a big fan of bright berry shade lipsticks and even though this shade is very Spring appropriate, this isn't something I would normally reach for. I would say this lipstick is more of a collector item, for me at least, but If you're someone who loves rocking bold, bright pink lipsticks then you'll definitely love this. Framboise started fading after 4-5 hours, and it left a light pink stain behind. This lipstick is also lightly scented but once applied it's almost undetectable.

Final Verdict:
This collection was a hit and miss for me the beautiful packaging is definitely a hit, but I wish the powder and lipstick had more shades to choose from so that way everyone would feel included. If you read my previous review of the Prisme Libre Loose Powder then you know how much I like that product it doesn't accentuate dry spots or set in fine lines and a little goes long way so one jar will last you a long time. The packaging also makes this powder very travel-friendly. Since summer is coming up and I will get much darker so I was thinking of purchasing the shade 2 and giving it a try. As for the lipstick, it's simply beautiful, but I'm more of nude or coral lipstick type-of-gal so its a nay for me.
What are your thoughts on the collection? Is it a yay or a nay? Feel free to leave a comment below I would love to hear your thoughts.
