The face masks in the campaign photos look so delicious and good enough to eat! The standout for me is the 'Watermelon Hydrating Mask', which obviously contains watermelon extract and leaves the skin feeling moisturised and fresh.
Next up we have the 'Coconut, Mango & Chi Seed Radiant Glow Face Mask', which softly scrubs the skin, getting rid of dead skin cells, ensuring your face is as smooth as a baby's bum! Personally, this is the one I'm most interested in, as I love a face mask that not only nourishes and hydrates, but scrubs my face till it's squeaky clean!
We then have the 'Cocoa & Oat Moisturising Face Mask', and yes it really does smell of chocolate! The cocoa beans and oats that this face mask is formulated with, also hydrates and exfoliates the skin.
Lastly, the 'Tropical Essence Spray' can be used before makeup application, as it contains glycerine, which is the perfect ingredient to leave the skin feeling slightly tacky to allow the longevity of makeup. Conversely, it can be worn throughout the day for constant hydration, and what's even better is that it has a fruit scent!

Before this year, I haven't been too fused over Huda Beauty's launches, however, she has totally swayed me recently! Not only do I want to purchase her 'N.Y.M.P.H' body glow, but now I'm super tempted to get her new product called 'Tantour'. It's a creamy formula, designed to act as both a bronzer and contour, saving you vital time in the morning when applying your makeup. It can be used on your face or body and claims to be blendable, sweat proof and water resistant. What more could you want?

Morphe
HOT
- Prefer this layout of Morphe palettes, with the different sized pans, as they usually make larger pans of the shades you will use more of, which is more convenient.
- Similarly, I think there is a better placement of the shadows than in their other palettes, as sometimes I find it difficult to pair shades together when they're all over the place, but here, I feel I could easily create many looks with the shadows presented.
NOT
- £35 is a lot of money for a Morphe palette! They're supposed to be, and present themselves as a 'drugstore' brand, yet charge highend prices for lower quality products. For comparison, Makeup Revolution have multiple palettes which are very similar to Morphe's, but for half the price, including: 'Revolution X Petra' (£12), 'Maxi Reloaded' in 'Big Love' (£12) and I Heart Revolution's 'Cherry Chocolate' palette (£9). I would purchase Makeup Revolution's palettes over Morphe's any day, due to accessibility, price and quality.
- In my opinion, there are too many similar colours, for example, the top 2 rows look identical to the bottom 2 rows. I would rather they narrow down the colour selection and create a smaller palette.

Fenty Beauty are continuously expanding their product line, and I am so here for it! First off, we have new liquid eyeliner trios 'Baeside' (lime green, pastel orange and pastel blue), 'Baecae' (pastel pink, white and pastel yellow) and 'Baewatch' (vivid green, bright blue and magenta). They have come just in time for summer and are perfect for a statement look.
We then have 7 shades of the 'Popsicle Juicy' satin lipsticks in: 'Purpsicle' (purple), 'Sun Snatched' (orange-red), 'Alpha Doll' (bright cool pink), 'Go Deep' (navy blue), 'Tropic Tantrum' (bright rich pink), 'Motorboat' (light blue), and 'Hot Blooded' (deep red). They claim to have a comfortable formula and suit any skin tone that are brave enough to wear these bright shades.
Finally, alongside the new lipsticks, Fenty Beauty have announced they will be bringing out lip care products including the 'Pro Kiss'r Luscious Lip Balm' and 'Pro Kiss'r Lip Loving Scrubstick'. Both items are designed to exfoliate and moisturise the lips, and contain nourishing ingredients such as shea and mango butters.
ALSO, great news, Fenty Beauty is now available in selected Boots stores and online, yay!

£27 - Eyeliner trios
£18 - Lipstick
£15 - Lip balm

RELEASE DATE

WHERE
HOT
- Love the bright colours for summer.
- I love me a lip balm, so cannot wait to try Fenty's.
- The liquid liners look super pigmented.
NOT
- Although I am excited for the lip care products, £15 is quite pricy for me, only because I go through them so quickly, so if it became a favourite I would struggle to sustain my habit of buying them so frequently!
- Also wish the brand came out with more wearable lip colours.
- I like the idea of the eyeliner trios, but it is annoying if you want 1 shade from each pack, you're then stuck with the option of buying all 3 packs and being down £81 and have 9 shades you might not always want.

- Love that there are 2 palettes available, as it gives the consumer the option to support the influencer and purchase a palette that suits their needs more.
- Love that both palettes combine face powders and eyeshadows, as it makes them perfect for travel, as you don't need to take multiple products.
- The face powders can be used as giant eyeshadows.
NOT
- The packaging does look a bit cheap.
- I find it really pointless having 1 shade of face powders in the mini palette, as they will only suit a couple of skin tones. But, I know it would be more expensive to make multiple palettes with different shades, but at the same time it's a huge company that can afford to do it. They could have kept the same eyeshadow shades, but change the face powders to suit different skin tones.
- Kind of disappointed in the shades chosen for the eyeshadows. I just feel that they're really basic, and so many palettes out there already have this exact same colour story. However, I understand that these are everyday shades that Rachel uses herself, which is why she chose them.
- I don't get excited looking at them, which is such a shame because I've been a fan of Rachel's for years now!

We have ANOTHER new drop from Makeup Revolution! Their new 'Maxi Reloaded' eyeshadow palettes are basically larger versions of their current 'Reloaded' palettes, with each containing 45 shades in multiple finishes. First up, we have the 'Monster Mattes' (top left), which is filled with every colour from the rainbow, and is perfect for those of you who experiment with your makeup and wear bright looks. 'Big Big Love' (top right), is packed full of pinks, purples and neutrals, perfect for all you warm toned lovers out there! Next up is 'Large It Up' (bottom left), which contains neutral browns, purples and pinks, perfect for everyday wear. Lastly, we have 'Dream Big' (bottom right), which is super similar to 'Monster Mattes', however this palette is more toned down.

Kim Kardashian's makeup brand KKW Beauty have a new collection coming out called the 'Mrs. West' collection. It's inspired by the beautiful makeup look Mario did for Kim's wedding day, and it's a celebration of her 5 year anniversary to Kanye.
Firstly, the eyeshadow palette called 'Mrs West', contains 6 shade of complimentary neutral shades, perfect for your wedding, or day to day life. It claims to have a formula that is lightweight and perfect for layering and blending, to ensure you have seamless eye makeup for your big day. Next up we have a nude lipstick in 'Love' with matching lip liner also in 'Love', and a gloss to top it off in 'Soulmate'. We then have a light gold highlighter in 'Forever' and a pink blush in 'Flower Wall'.

- The names are honestly iconic and have a meaning to each of them. For example, the name of the blush 'Flower Wall' is significant because Kim and Kanye got married in front of a gorgeous cream flower wall.
- I love her simple packaging style.
- I really do think this makeup would look perfect for anyone's wedding day.
- I don't think the items are badly priced at all. At the end of the day, you're paying for the name rather than the actual product.

- Also love the shades in the mini lipstick kit.
- Vegan and cruelty free.
NOT
- Wish they produced a creamy lipstick formula, rather than matte.
- It's a shame that the lipstick quad is limited edition. I wish it was a permanent item as it makes for a great gift and a fab way to test out multiple shades before buying the full size.

- Some of the colours are a bit odd, and I would never ever wear them, not even over a lipstick. But hey, if you're into blue and black glossy lips, then you'll love this launch.
- I also noticed from his reveal video, and swatches online that the formula looks quite streaky and sheer. I wouldn't mind it if they were labelled as a lip topper, but when I purchase a lip gloss, I personally look for full opacity. However, I cannot comment on them until I have tried them!
- Is £19 expensive to you? I feel like makeup is getting more and more expensive these days.
