I first saw the Pat McGrath Lip Fetish Astral Lip Balm on Instagram. Of course, the lips didn't look anything like mine, but it was a live video and I thought how could this not look good on me? I am glad I took a chance and picked it up! I picked up the shade Pink Astral in concert with the Mothership V Bronze Ambition Palette a while back, and I've been meaning to do a write-up of it for a while because I use it so much!

I am guilty of turning my nose up at non-Asian-branded sheet masks but listen, I have come around! The Sephora Watermelon After-Sun Mask is actually one of my favorite masks and I have repurchased it many times. It's a mask that I wish was sold by the box! It's a bio-cellulose mask that comes in two pieces: a mask for your entire face and another piece for the decollete. I have also used that piece on my neck, but more on that in a minute. Also, it was made in Korea!

The Pat McGrath Mini MatteTrance Skin Show Trio is/was a limited edition release at Sephora a month or so ago; I'm not sure if they will bring these back, but I wanted to say a few words about them anyway, in case they do. The Skin Show Trio includes three mini versions of her MatteTrance lipsticks in 1995, Flesh 3, and Omi.

Will fall in full motion, now is the perfect time to have another look at the Bite Beauty Spice Things Up Collection. I was enthralled with the collection when it first came out and went to Sephora to see what I can see. I ordered Crushed Chili right away, which I've already reviewed and went back sporadically to check out the beige/nude-looking shades. Below, you'll find swatches of a few of the shades that interested me, and then I'll be showing off Toasted Cardamom (toasty rose) and Star Anise, described as a muted lavendar.
