OUR FIVE FAVORITE BEAUTY LAUNCHES OF 2019 (SO FAR) With 2019 in full swing and the warmer summer season quickly approaching, it’s time for a refresh. Rather than focusing just on your wardrobe, why not take it up a notch and revamp your beauty routine? With so many amazing launches hitting the shelves already this year, it’s absolutely tempting to try them all. But if you’re a girl on a budget or not sure what (if anything) you should be considering, the sheer amount of amazing beauty products on the market can quickly become overwhelming (we’ve totally been there). To help you out, we’ve narrowed down our top five favorite beauty launches of 2019 (so far). Happy shopping! THE FENTY BEAUTY PRO FILT’R INSTANT RETOUCH SETTING POWDER If you haven’t gotten on the Fenty game yet, now is the time to jump on it. While we’re totally hyped on all of Rihanna’s launches, this one has us particularly excited for the warmer months ahead (we promise they’re coming). SOURCE: @fentybeauty Sold exclusively at Sephora, this totally amazing setting powder comes in 8 different colors with a silky smooth formula that’s perfect for topping off your makeup. Totally cruelty-free and long-lasting, this baby is totally on our list to fight off sweat and oil once the summer season finally hits. THE URBAN DECAY BROW BLADE Who said you need microblading anyways? Get the look you want without the commitment with this totally on-trend launch from Urban Decay. Known for their crazily colored products, we were pleasantly surprised to see them step into the brow game (and totally nail it). SOURCE: @urbandecaycosmetics Endorsed by the one and only Huda Kattan, this baby is perfect for giving you those natural thick and bushy brows without having to clear out your bank account for microblading. We love that it’s double-sided and totally sweat proof – perfect for spring, summer and beyond. THE TARTE FACE TAPE FOUNDATION After their mess-up late last year (only launching a few shades of foundation), we were totally stoked to see Tarte amp up their game and launch 50 – that’s right 50 – shades of foundation for 2019. With so many options, you’re bound to find the perfect shade for your unique skin tone. SOURCE: @tartecosmetics We’ll admit it – we’re hopelessly addicted to their Shape Tape Concealer, so this foundation was definitely on our list to try. With an insane range of colors and amazing long-lasting coverage, this foundation is destined to become one of our holy grail products for many years to come. THE COVERGIRL MATTE IDOL LIQUID LIPSTICK Ever since we discovered liquid lipstick, we’ve been on the hunt for the perfect affordable option to add to our collection. And we’re happy to report – COVERGIRL has done it. This long-lasting matte stain is exactly what we’ve been dreaming of, and we’re totally obsessed. SOURCE: @covergirl I mean – look at this photo. The coverage and color payoff of these liquid lipsticks are to die for and do really last for quite some time. We love the selection of colors, too – from simple blushes to bold blues and super trendy greys, we’re totally all about it. THE TATCHA VIOLET-C BRIGHTENING SERUM Last but not least on our list is definitely this brand new serum from one of our favorite skincare brands, Tatcha. Known for their high-quality ingredients and luxe packaging, Tatcha absolutely set the bar (and set it high) with this newest launch of theirs. SOURCE: @tatcha Fragrance-free, oil-free and 20% Vitamin C? Sign us up. This serum literally has it all in the skincare department. Designed to soften, smooth and brighten the skin, this baby will have you reaching your summer glow in no time at all. And that super cute packaging? Utter perfection.
