News

Black Friday is coming!

One of my favorite indie companies My Pretty Zombie is debuting a brand new collection for Black Friday that includes a highlight and contour set, and two blushes! You can also get 33% off your order with the code black15 (excluding shipping and some of her value sets that are already discounted). Her blushes are a cult favorite so if you haven't checked them out yet Thursday the 26th at midnight is the time!

Makeup Geek has announced they will be having a sale as well. Some deals include a Black Friday brush bundle for 40.00, a blush and eyeshadow variety pack for 50.00, and a Super Shimmer palette for 125.00. It would be a great time to stock up on favorites or try them for the first time!

Occ cosmetics are debuting 6 new lip tar colors on Black Friday on occmakeup.com,  Nordstrom.com, and Beautylish.com. The stand out colors being Derelict, a dirty metallic Olive and Stud a matte grey purple. They will be offered in their new doe foot packaging and are limited edition!

We could probably dedicate a whole show to what would be on sale so my best advice is to check your favorite stores social media and check what their sales are and plan accordingly. You can preview some deals on Sephora's app, and Ulta has started their sale already and will continue through the week. If you're on a no buy my best advice to you is to completely stay off social media and forums for a couple days. Have fun and be safe out there!

My picks of the week are the Notoriously Morbid Changeling Top Coats. They are essentially lipstick toppers that add a holographic or duochrome effect to your lipstick. The reason I love them is that unlike a gloss, they will not dramatically change the longevity of your liquid lipsticks. My favorite colors are Leshy, a green duochrome and Siren a blue teal. They are also offering two new colors along with a huge sale on Black Friday so make sure to follow them to get all the info!

DepecheGurl, the amazing artist known for her lip and eye art, comes on to speak with TWiM and new releases and her new company, Cryptic Cosmetics.

News

The new Tarte Cosmetics collection is starting to pop up in stores! The

Tartelette 2 palette In Bloom is on Ulta.com as well as Tartecosmetics.com for 45.00. The brush and Tarteist contour palette is available on Tarte as well as Sephora.com.

For you Tom Ford fans waiting for the Lips and Boys collection which will include 50 lipsticks named after men in Tom Fords life, you can get the whole set now on saks.com for 1950.00. You can also buy them individually starting November 23rd.

A lot of you have been asking when the new Too Faced Bon Bon palette and Melted Chocolate lipsticks will be available and we have a more concrete date, December 8th!

My picks of the week are budget friendly, Elf cosmetics new brushes, the Sculpting Face Brush, e.l.f blending brush, and e.l.f Selfie Ready Foundation Brush. They are a very affordable 6.00 each but rival brushes from other brands at much higher price points. Incredibly soft, perfect for blending and contouring, they are an incredible value.

Tarte has a new collection coming November 15th! A new palette called Tartelette in Bloom which contains 12 matte and shimmery rosy neutral shades for 45.00. The collection will also include a cool toned contour palette, liquid lipsticks, and lip liners!

Coming November 11th (date subject to change) the new Colourpop Holiday Collection Part 2 Boogie Nights is coming! This collection will includes singles of lippie sticks, shadows, and gel liners!

One of my favorite indie companies Darling Girl cosmetics is having a grand reopening of her new website shopdarlinggirl.com. She will have tons of new goodies like her satiny liquid lipstick Kisus, matte balms, as well as her Pink Friday collection which will bring back some old fan favorites!

My pick of the week is the Lunatick Labs contour palette. It is a gorgeous cool toned contouring palette that goes above and beyond anything palette I've seen so far. It includes shades for every skintone (though I think this is a fair to medium skintones dream). They are pigmented, finely milled, and blend nicely. Make sure to check out their other amazing products like their Mystifying microfinish powder with gorgeous packaging, as well as their lipsticks. If you're not following us on Instagram go check us out @twimakeup and see pictures of this gorgeous palette and so much more!

Makeup News!

It looks like November 6th is going to be a huge day!

Jeffree Stars Holiday collection including 5 new shades and brand new lip scrubs will be releasing at 10am pst. The popular online retailer Beautylish has just announced they are selling Jeffree Star Cosmetics, and you can also sign up to be notified of their release of Jeffrees Holiday goodies!

The popular Melt Cosmetics has announced they will be having a 30% off sale from the November 6th through the 8th! It is a great time to pick of their eyeshadow stacks and lipsticks.

Last but not least the Sephora 20% sale is starting for Vib Rouge online on November 6th through the 9th using code Rouge20. Vib customers will be able to get 20% off as well starting November 13th through the 16th using the code Vib20.

My pick of the week is Looxi Beauty Cosmetics. I gave you guys a sneak peek of my recent haul from them and I highly recommend them! They have beautiful pigmented shadows in mattes, duochrome, and shimmers. The star of Looxi for me is their incredibly pigmented pressed highlighters. Bombshell is a very close dupe to the popular Champagne Pop and is 15.00 for a full size compact. They also have a brand new gold highlighter la Belle which looks to be an excellent dupe for Mac Whisper of Gilt and Oh Darling. Go check them out!

Beauty does come from the inside. Listen to this unique show as Crystal and Forrest interview two therapists about confidence and feeling beautiful.

There will be 5 new liquid lipstick velour coming in Drug Lord  bright white, Androgyny dusty rose, Doll Parts medium pink, Hoe Hoe Hoe red with sparkle, and Mistletoe a Christmas green. You can get all 5 in a bundle for 75 or buy them separately. Their lip scrubs will also be available in several flavors like Root Beer and Mojito. They will also have limited edition Swarovski encrusted Celebrity Skins and Unicorn Blood but no official date has been announced for those yet.

My pick of the week is the Sleek Cosmetics Solstice Highlighting Palette. It has solid rose gold packaging that contains 4 highlighters, 2 cream and 2 powder. All 4 are very pigmented and have great lasting power. The lilac color is my personal favorite. You can buy them on SleekMakeup.com for 14.99!
