As a makeup addict it’s not just applying and wearing the makeup that satisfies your cravings. It’s the build up to the new product releases. It’s the sneak peeks and instagram release date rumours. It’s the swatches and late nights spent adding products to your cart the minute they are released.
Whether it’s new shades or limited edition products you lust over there’s always a new and exciting product release around the corner. High end and drug store brands battle it out with pretty packaging, celeb collabs and innovative new products. Trends go viral and it becomes harder to resist buying the latest and greatest. But what can you do? If it makes you happy it can’t be that bad!
Here’s what’s hot
