Friends, foes, and festive fiends: it’s me, your chaotic neutral beauty hoarder, crawling out from the wreckage of Christmas mayhem with a haul so glorious it could make even the Grinch jealous. My bank account may be whispering “cease and desist,” but the holiday spirit said, “MORE. TATCHA.”
Let’s be real, everyone knows I’m a Tatcha simp. I’d willingly pay rent to that dewy purple packaging if it meant eternal hydration. So what did Santa (aka me) bring this year? A feast of products that will make my vanity look like the skincare aisle at Sephora, only more luxurious and, frankly, more dangerous to my financial health.
The Lip Situation™
I’ve got options now, babes. Because apparently, my lips deserve a better 2025 than my 2024 life choices.
• Revlon Luscious Matte Lipsticks in All Hours, Untold Stories, and Pick Me Up: Affordable, chic, and ready to survive the apocalypse (or at least a greasy cheeseburger).
• Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balms in Iced Coffee and Hot Cocoa: Delicious scents, hydration for days, and absolutely no calories. A win-win.
The Tatcha Domination
Call me Tatcha’s number-one fangirl, but this lineup? Chef’s kissu.
• Indigo Cleansing Balm and Matcha Cleanse: A one-two punch of “gently remove your sins” and “cleanse like a boss.”
• Luminous Dewy Skin Mist: It’s like bottling the soul of a glowing goddess. I will spritz irresponsibly.
• The Kissu Lip Tint in Midnight Lily: A jewel-toned moment for your lips, so decadent it’s basically the dessert course of your makeup routine.
• The Kissu Lip Scrub (TBD), The Kissu Lip Treatment (TBD), and The Silk Sunscreen(TBD): Haven’t tried these yet because I believe in savoring the anticipation. Foreplay, but make it skincare.
The Fancy New Additions
• Victoria Beckham Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturizer: Haven’t cracked this one open yet, but if VB’s glow is any indication, I’m ready to join the Spice World of skincare.
• MAC Hyper Real Fresh Canvas Cleansing Oil: Not tried yet, but it smells like ambition and clean pores.
What’s next?
Probably a vow of fiscal responsibility. But let’s not pretend I’m not going to crack open that Kissu Lip Scrub at midnight and pair it with the Indigo Cleansing Balm like I’m hosting a private spa day.
If you’ve tried any of these, tell me your thoughts! Or better yet, validate me so I can justify going even harder on next year’s haul. I apparently think I’m rich enough to act like I’m just like Leo in St. Tropez.
