I’ll Buy Sweetener Concealer Even If It Does Look Like Glossier Stretch Concealer

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Why am I getting Glossier Stretch Concealer vibes from the new R.E.M. Beauty Sweetener Concealer? R.E.M. Sweetener Concealer ($24) is a new lightweight concealer with a soft, matte finish that can be used all over your face. It promises to conceal and correct imperfections, highlight, brighten, and even contour your face. The formula can is medium but builds up to full coverage and contains hyaluronic acid for smoothing and hydrating.

Sounds dreamy, doesn’t it? It also comes in a rather extensive array of shades. But why is it giving me such Glossier Stretch Concealer vibes? Glossier’s formula is actually quite lovely but also, very sheer so, I really do hope that R.E.M’s formula provides more coverage as I’m not one that enjoys light, sheer coverage when it comes to concealing under my eyes. The more pigmented the better please and thank you!

I’m not really sure how I feel about pot concealer. I swear it just simply never works well for me. I haven’t seen pot concealer in my arsenal since Marc Jacobs Beauty Re(Marc)able Full Cover Concealer and I can’t say I don’t miss it. It can be good don’t get me wrong but I prefer a barrel and a wand! It’s just a lot less messy and easier to control in my opinion!

Can I just say the name is too cute? That probably sold me on the product first…! Ha!

R.E.M. Beauty Sweetener Concealer is available now.

Will you be checking it out?

Is Kayali Launching a Tom Ford Lost Cherry Dupe?

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Kayali Perfume is launching a cherry fragrance this week and a lot of people are saying it could be a Tom Ford Lost Cherry dupe. It’s fairly obvious the scent is going to have a dominant cherry note as much of the marketing they are teasing us with has cherries in it! But is it a Tom Ford Lost Cherry dupe is the question that demands answering at the moment!

Honestly, I spent $390 on Lost Cherry when it originally launched, and surprise, surprise the price never did go down to the normal $285 price. I get asked a lot, “Is it worth it?” I dunno…I guess? I love the scent! It really is a great cherry scent and in an ocean of fragrances cherry is actually a note that isn’t as common as one would think. I have to admit I think Hilde Soliani’s Una Tira ‘Altra wears longer than Tom’s formula. I may even like it a bit more than Lost Cherry. But nonetheless, there’s no denying that Lost Cherry is a unique fragrance.

Lost Cherry has an exotic black cherry and liqueur scent with almond, Turkish rose, and jasmine sambac. It’s a very interesting scent that’s light, not overwhelming, playful, and dare I say it has some sexiness to it as well. Sadly, the fragrance is very weak which makes the $390 price tag questionable.

If Kayali does a Lost Cherry dupe chances are it’ll be stronger not to mention cheaper as the larger 3.4 oz bottles are $118 and the smaller 0.33 oz bottles are $25. Plus they have travel sprays as well! I have been wearing Kayali Eden for the last several months and I just know it’ll be part of my Fall 2022 line up as well. It’s a crisp, juicy, red apple scent that I adore. If they can capture cherry as well as they did this beautiful apple note I’ll be a very happy perfume lover indeed.

If you haven’t experienced the joys of Kayali yet do indulge in their sampler set. They have some very, very interesting scents that are worth trying!

One thing I’m praying for is that it’s sweet and not woodsy. Anything that contains cherry typically ends up woodsy as well and I’m just not that big a fan of woods.

Kayali’s newest fragrance will be revealed August 4th.

I can’t wait!
