Makeup News: Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Palette + Swatches

Image
Anastasia Beverly Hills has finally released official photos of the brand new Subculture palette. The palette is part of their Fall 2017 collection and is set to release on July 25, 2017. Photos of this palette were leaked on Reddit about two months ago, and set the internet on fire! Apparently a friend of an ABH employee stole her prototype and leaked the photos.  I'm glad ABH has made their press release, on their own terms, in the form of an instagram post . The brand stated that their instagram account, created in 2012, has always been a place for makeup lovers to come together and celebrate the subculture that is beauty. They created this palette with that subculture of beauty junkies in mind. It has been rumoured for months that the brand was creating a "sister palette" to the amazingly popular Modern Renaissance palette, which took the beauty community by storm last summer.  I couldn't even get my hands on the palette until September!

Revlon Mega Multiplier Mascara Review

I received the new Revlon Mega Multiplier Mascara complementary from Influenster to test and review. It came in a standard Influenster style box, covered with the Revlon logo. This mascara comes in 4 shades - black, blackest black, blackened brown, and plum brown. I received the shade 803 "Blackened Brown".

The formula is a really unique aspect of this mascara since it is a "tubing" mascara. This means that the formula coats each lash with a sheath (or tube) of product, fully encasing it. When these tubes have been saturated with warm water, they will completely slide off the lashes, for easy removal. I was really excited when I found out that this was a tubing mascara, because I used to love the Blinc Mascara , which I would attribute to having the original lash-tubing formula. This is the first tubing masca

Maison Margiela: Discover your Replica

Since Sephora introduced the Rewards Bazaar about a year ago, I have been saving up my points in hopes to get one of the coveted larger-point perks. The problem is that you have to be on, right at noon (EST) every single Tuesday and Thursday, otherwise you are out of luck! Its risky because you never know what rewards will be released on which days, and because the quantities are so limited for Canadians that any reward worth redeeming is sold out before it even uploads to my browser.  I love that they've introduced regards at various levels such as 750, 1000, 1500, 3000 points and beyond! Its also great that these reward levels will ship free, so you don't have to make an impulse purchase just to redeem them.  Well, I was finally able to redeem for something that I really wanted! I exchanged 1500 points for the Discover your Replica reward. When I redeemed, the Details section online explained that this would include a personalized scent consultation at Sephora Toronto E
