Laura Geller Iconic Baked Sculpting Lipstick

Tuesday, February 27, 2018


If there's one thing that Laura Geller does amazingly well it's lippies!  Her Iconic Baked Sculpting Lipsticks are essentially every girl's dream!  They're buttery, pack on the opacity, long lasting and feel uhhhhmazing on the lips! Seriously not an easy feat for lippies these days but these beauties are formulated with nourishing almond butter leaving your lips kissably soft, even in the dead of Winter. The curved bullet shape makes these a one swipe and one situation!









These innovative lippies are creamy and beautiful.  The color range will make it extremely difficult to pick just one.  Oh and if metallic lippies are your jam, you'll die for the select metallic formula.  The shade Broadway Glitz is unlike any lipstick I've every swatched in my life!  It's so innovative, unique and truly a gem!  Want to add a bit of interest to these already stunning lippies? Try layering them with one of Laura Geller's gorgeous lip toppers!  I've been LOVING them so much!  Seriously, give me all the LG lippies and I'm a happy girl!

Pixi Beauty - New Launches!

Sunday, February 25, 2018


A few weeks ago, i attended a Target Beauty Event featuring a ton of new launches coming this Spring and Summer.  I always enjoy seeing what's new with Pixi, especially the weeks of the event because Pixi kept hinting at something big coming soon.  I was thrilled to uncover the big secret before it was announced to the world!  Pixi not only launched a ton of new amazing products, but they also collabed with three gorgeous beauty influencers to create some beautiful palettes!  I snagged a few at the event along with some of the new products that peeked my curiosity.





Dulce Candy teamed up with Pixi to create a beautiful lip palette as well as the Cafe Con Dulce multi-purpose palette.  I'll be honest, I'm not big on lip palettes but i simply could not pass up the stunning eyeshadow/highlighter palette.  It's filled with warm toned, shimmery shadows (they can also be used as highlighter).  This palette is absolutely beautiful and certainly worth checking out!





When i laid eyes on Pixi's Eye Reflexions Shadow Mixed Metals Palette i fell madly in love!  There is no resisting the intensely (in the sweetest of ways) pigmented shadows in this palette.  I squealed with excitement when i lightly swatched them at the event so needless to say, i snagged one for myself immediately!  I mean... you need it... period! 




A major standout out for me were these insanely gorgeous Glowy Duos highlighters!  Pixi you got these SO RIGHT!  They're buttery, super pigmented and will deliver the most Goddess like glow!  No... seriously... these highlighters are perhaps my favorite yet from the brand! They're showstoppers! 






Pixi Dimensional Eye Creator Kit Let's Talk Palette and Black Liner Duo was created in collaboration with beauty influencer Weylie.  I kind of thought this little kit was somewhat genius.  First, i love the idea of a dual ended eyeliner... one side is a liquid liner pen and the other is a pencil liner.  Pixi makes the best eyeliners too... they're rich in pigment, have major stay power and glide beautifully without any tugging.  The palette itself has beautiful warm tones with a perfect marriage of mattes and shimmers.  The colors are very wearable and very 'me' if you will!  It's also compact enough for travel.  Toss this beauty in your travel bag and go!  

Not pictured here but absolutely adored is the new Rose Tonic!  You all know how obsessed i am with Pixi's Glow Tonic... i mean surely I've mentioned it here once or twice (or a hundred times... oops)!  Well, Pixi is raising the bar with this new launch!  If you love the smell of roses you'll fall madly in love with this amazing toner.  It makes my skin feel incredible and is a wonderful means of prepping my skin for my serums and moisturizer.  Obsessed with this beauty!

There are many more amazing launches happening now at Pixi Beauty.  I will pick up a few more to show you but for now i thought you'd enjoy these gorgeous products as much as I'm enjoying using them!  You can shop the post below!  Xo, Carla 


Target Beauty... New Launches for Spring!

Monday, February 12, 2018


A couple of weeks ago,  i attended a Target Beauty Event in NYC featuring a ton of new launches!  I previewed everything from hair care to makeup!  I'm beyond excited to share with you some of the products that truly stood out to me.




Good Chemistry is a new fragrance brand that nails the packaging game and promises to indulge even the most selective of noses with their gorgeous array of natural scents.  Their fragrances are formulated with essential oils and steers clear of any harmful chemicals.  I sampled a few and fell madly in love with Queen Bee because it essentially smells like Beyonce!  OK so obviously i don't know what Beyonce smells like because i never met her BUT i truly believe that she smells as sweet and feminine as this gorgeous fragrance.



Another brand that instantly caught my eye was Kristen Ess... a hair brand packaged in the most sleek, blush toned bottles you'll ever see. I initially noticed the Temporary Rose Gold Tint and had to have it.  If you follow me on instagram and have watched my insta-stories then you are well aware that i'm currently sporting rose gold hair and LOVING IT! This product is so innovative.  It works so quickly and easily and there's very little commitment.   Tip:  After washing, towel dry your hair and spray this beauty through your strands (this will only work on blonde or highlighted hair).  Leave in for about two minutes and then rinse.  Follow with your favorite conditioner and enjoy your rose gold strands!  It's been so fun using this product!  I've already gone through an entire bottle.  I love that there's very little commitment as it washes out in one or two shampoos.  I'm definitely trying more from the line!







As you all know, Pixi is very near and dear to my heart!  Naturally, i'm always excited to see what's next for this amazing brand!  Before heading to this event, Pixi hinted at something major so i was thrilled to learn the big secret.  They're launching a collab with Dulce Candy, Chloe Morello and Weylie.  I got to preview the palettes and they're so pretty!  Dulce is releasing a lip palette and eye shadow palette, Weylie's palette is very much my jam featuring gorgeous earth tone shadows and a liner.  Chloe's palette is all about creating gorgeous glowy lips.  She's also launching a sparkly lippie! Aside from the collabs, i saw some major beauties in the line up.  First, y'all know i LOVE Glow Tonic and just when you think things couldn't get any better (i mean, how does one mess with perfection?!), they release Rose Tonic!!!  Oh Em Gee this tonic is HEAVEN.  In fact, i just applied some on my face and i can still smell the lingering rose scent that's not overpowering in any way... but oh so delightful in every way possible! I also LOVED the two highlighter duos that are so incredibly pigmented and buttery.  The last thing to catch my eye was the Jasmine Oil Blend... it smells divine!!!!  Leaves my skin looking and feeling radiant!  Way to go Pixi!!




Sonia Kashuk is foregoing the production of her makeup line to focus solely on creating gorgeous brushes, brush products and beauty bags.  I think this is a fantastic idea.  In fact, i got to play with some of the new brushes and i think the quality is even better than the previous collections.  They're bringing the look back to a classic black and gold but eventually will introduce some limited edition sets that we love oh so much.  I'm also LOVING the makeup/travel bags show above.  The backpack is SO DANG CUTE!  As soon as i see it at my local Target, i am picking it up because it's so darling!














So many products to talk about.  If you love Bliss products, Target will have a line of exclusive Bliss products (so psyched about this), elf has a new Beauty Shield mask that is already in my virtual shopping cart.  Basically you apply it on your face and remove it with a wand that removes the mask with a magnet (the wand doesn't need to touch your face).... amazing! Many of these products launched this week so now's the time to shop Target because there are so many amazing finds to choose from!









This event was so informative and fun because i finally got to see my friend Niki of Hello Miss Niki (hadn't seen her in over a year and i adore her)!  We got to make flower crowns, take silly selfies and chat beauty all night long... my kind of event!

Hope you enjoyed this round up of upcoming Target Beauty launches!  Thank you so much for reading! Xo, Carla - FMM
