Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Lip 2016 Review

I hadn't previously purchased any Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Lip sets because I didn't have access to them. When I heard one of my favourite beauty stores would stock it, I immediately felt a pang of joy. I wasn't sure if the shades would suite me, but decided to give it a go anyway because of the full-size Lancome Juicy Shaker.

Those minis are so damn adorable!

This set is for Summer 2016 and comes with 6 lip products - 2 full sizes and 4 minis. The products are listed below:

Full Size:

- Lancome Juicy Shaker in Boom Meringue (lip oil)

- Smashbox Always On in Stepping Out (liquid lipstick)

Minis:

- Fresh Sugar Tinted Lip Treatment in Rose (tinted lip balm)

- Too Faced Melted in Chihuahua (liquid lipstick)

- Kat Von D Studded Kisses in Lovecraft (lipstick)

- NARS Satin in Rikugien (lip pencil)

Instead of just talking about the products and value, I wanted to share with you the formula reviews of each of the products you get in this kit. I know a lot of my lovely readers live outside of the U.S. too, so I feel your pain!

My Thoughts On Hype Marketing And Limited Stock Products

If you don't know what hype marketing is, you are either safe from the beast it is, or simply unaware of it. And if you're very familiar with it, get ready to scream "GIRL YES!" throughout this post (granted we share the same views, of course!).

You've seen it - Jeffree Star's monthly liquid lipstick restocks of different colours each time, Kylie Jenner's 6-second sell-outs, the limited edition Too Faced Sweet Peach eyeshadow palette which Too Faced said they'll likely never stock on their site again, the Violet Voss Holy Grail palette almost never being available unless pre-ordered... the list continues. But what's with all the hype? Is there not "normal" makeup out there? Why are we, as consumers in the beauty industry, so obsessed with these limited quantity things? Why do we lose it when we hear so-and-so product will never be in stock again, that too from brands which likely came to our attention through self-proclaimed beauty "gurus" on YouTube? Are these products really that good?

Worth The Hype? Too Faced Sweet Peach Eye Shadow Palette Review and Swatches (WOC)

I managed to snag the Too Faced Peach Palette from my favourite beauty store. They brought in just one piece and I called them up and asked them to keep it on hold for me (which they actually did. Nice people!). Read on to find out my thoughts on the palette, and if it's worth the hype!
