First off, MAC Cosmetics has announced a new collaboration with none other than YouTube star Jeffree Star. The collection is set to launch in July, and will include an eyeshadow palette, lipsticks, and more.
Next, beauty YouTuber Jaclyn Hill has announced that she is launching her own makeup line, called Jaclyn Hill Cosmetics. The line will include products like eyeshadow palettes, lipsticks, and more, and is set to launch sometime this summer.
Finally, Sephora has announced that they will be launching a new loyalty program called Sephora Beauty Insider. The program will allow members to earn points for every dollar they spend at Sephora, which can then be redeemed for rewards like free products and services.
That's all for this month's beauty news roundup! Stay tuned for more updates in the world of makeup!

hello beauty news family welcome to
something new yes so we're gonna start
doing Beauty news recaps yes just once a
month so first Monday every month we're
going to do a recap of like the maybe
top 10 ish products that were featured
in beauty news episodes in the previous
month so it's kind of just a it's like a
little way to get the good news from
Beauty news for those who don't want to
watch whole episodes yeah be news like
we are quite aware that Beauty news is a
very long series so each episode give or
take is an hour so if you want to keep
up to date with the sort of weekly news
you have to sit through an hour of
content which you know some people love
other people not so much so yeah we're
just doing this so we can recap and just
see the exciting things from the past
month and cutting out all the random
[ __ ] that yeah people aren't very
excited about sneak peeks of so and so
has a black and white piece of [ __ ] yeah
that's gonna be coming out exactly right
so we're brainstorming how we're gonna
do this and this episode we're just
going to go based on things that we've
picked out that we find most interesting
or you know good for good or bad reason
and then you know people had a lot of
interest in it they liked a lot of or
there's a lot of engagement on social
media and whatnot so that's what we're
going to pick out and talk about in this
episode but from now on we're going to
try to encourage people to comment on
Beauty news episodes and even on
Instagram which things are really
excited about because when we see more
engagement about certain products we'll
make sure to feature them in these sort
of mini episodes yeah but while we're
here let's do a channel update because
we haven't done one in the yeah all
right
so updates Monday videos might be a bit
sporadic out there they're just gonna be
they're gonna be there when we've got
stuff to create content around so we've
been pretty lucky this year because we
did we were sort of like alright we're
not going to put so much pressure on
Monday videos when we have stuff we'll
film it and will feature stuff and up
until now that's been going really
but there are certain times of the years
where things are kind of slim pickins
yeah and we don't really want to be
putting effort into creating content on
a Monday that we're not really
interested in yeah so I think these sort
of videos where we do the monthly recap
which will be the Monday after the end
of the month yeah these are always going
to be first Monday of the month that
works out really well but when we have
something cool we want to put up we'll
put it up but Monday is probably not
going to happen as much as it used to be
yeah and Wednesday is going to change
slightly and what we mean by that is a
lot of the content that we would put up
on Monday we're now going to interchange
with the make up break up on Wednesdays
so we so we've been doing the make up
break up now for over two and a half
years and it's getting to a stage where
even though we do really enjoy it and
there are some episodes that we're like
this is really fun and we're learning a
lot and this is really cool there are
times where we're like we're creating
content for the sake of creating coffee
it's not inspiring yeah and it's not
cost effective and it feels like we're
like here we are again destroying
another eyeshadow palette just for the
sake of it so yeah we're sort of getting
a little bit bored with it and we know
that probably other people are as well
so we're going to try to have something
in a similar vein on Wednesdays we did
test drive makeup ASMR some people loved
it the other people didn't that's
totally fine that might be something
that we also slot in occasionally maybe
once a month or every two months yeah
people who like it because there are
some people that really love it and
there'll be a little playlist that if it
over the year it starts to accumulate a
few things if you enjoy it and yeah we
happy to keep making it even though
they're not super popular videos but you
know there's something that we're happy
to look into more we're happy to receive
feedback on those and we are working on
things to make them better and if you
have any suggestions on what you want to
see next
we are all ears also we're thinking of
the sort of videos where we focus on
products quite in depth so makeup
breakup style so it's the same
like deep look into products we'll also
put on Wednesday's interchanging with
the makeup break up so when we're
testing marketing claims like does this
actually work does the little washing
machine clean your sponge that's also
gonna go up on a Wednesday because it's
the same kind of concept where you're
analyzing a product close up but we're
not destroying if that makes sense and
probably another one that we want to
play with unfortunately our Jaclyn hill
lipstick that's gone with the wind baby
it was out to my post office and then it
went back to the airport then it went to
Queensland then he went to New South
Wales and now it's been delivered in New
South Wales so I don't think we're ever
gonna see that but we did buy a
microscope camera yeah I'd like deep at
that so maybe another concept that we
can start doing is looking at makeup
under one of those microscope cameras so
if you have any suggestions on what you
want to see under a microscope camera or
destroying under a microscope camera we
are open to that as well so that might
be its own little series as well yeah so
yeah same kind of concept but different
vibes yeah not much changing maybe less
Monday videos yes no no not the
traditional makeup break up every week
yeah so we're going to recap June makeup
releases and we are sort of just basing
them off little categories right now so
until we get like a good top 10 going on
we're gonna tease that out over the next
month but let's start talking about base
products mmm so Papa grass announced
that the skin fetish collection for the
skin is coming in July so we have a
foundation a primer and a powder another
brand that has announced a foundation or
a new foundation is Smashbox so they are
releasing the studio skin full coverage
24 hour foundation that's coming 26th of
July and it's supposed to be waterproof
sweat proof matte finish high coverage
forty shades supposed to keep you from
looking oily
$36 so that one's a bit of an
interesting one for me I'm more the skin
benefit cosmetics also release their new
hello happy flawless brightening
foundation and velvet powder foundations
these are their coming 12 shades and
their 30 US dollars each an extension to
the hello hello happy range yet but it
seems like powder foundations are sort
of coming back to being a thing mmm Too
Faced have also released Born This Way
powder foundation so they've turned
their liquid into a powder form so this
is available in 25 shades and it's 37 US
dollars each let's talk about lip
products so Charlotte Tilbury released
hot lips 2 shades so there was 11
lipsticks in this collection and what
set this apart was that they come in
refillable bullet containers now you
couldn't buy the container and the
lipstick that you wanted and have them
come together
you had to buy specific shades that were
matched with different packaging and
then later on down the track I'm
assuming you'll be able to buy refills
for them the shades were amazing a mole
Jake a magic dancefloor princess red hot
Susan enigmatic Edward angel Alessandra
glowing Jen viva la Vergara Karina's
star in love with Olivia and Patsy red
and there was a beautiful array of
shades their nudes pinks reds deep
shades and there was even a lip balm yep
so this was all inspired by eleven
incredible icons that means something to
Charlotte Tilbury all right I didn't
even realize but early June Geoffrey
Starr released their gloss so these are
the new lip glosses that come in 18
shades they're 18 US dollars each and
there's different finishes so some that
are like sparkly shimmery sort of top of
shades some that are more your
traditional cream gloss there's a black
one
interesting but they every star is
disbursed ever limit losses they didn't
get the best reception from the
community but NAR a nice I forgot all
about them yeah that says something
doesn't it from Lime Crime we have the
ghosts fail this is a lip primer so 16
US dollars it's available now so this is
supposed to offer an invisible shield
and basically prevent your lip product
from transferring or bleeding or
blurring throughout the look throughout
the day yeah while also like filling in
the sort of imperfections on your lip
for a smoother application yeah so
basically you just apply a thin layer on
bare lips let it dry put on your lip
product and that's it yeah the
interesting thing is that you can apply
it with liquid lipsticks normal
lipsticks or lip glosses so it is
supposed to work for every type of lip
product and I've heard good things about
it it's one that I'm sort of curious
about all right we saw new shades of
Linda Hallberg fantastic lipsticks so
they released five new shades for summer
so some of these are more brighter fun
there's a beautiful nude there's a clear
one with a bit of shimmer there's an
orange like a magenta pink and a bright
coral and these are products that you
can use on your lips or on your cheeks
they also contain SPF which is nice as
well so they're out now let's talk about
palettes now we talked about a lot of
palettes we do how about some that seem
interesting yes sojourn was Pride Month
we saw a lot of pride things but
something that stood out to us was the
morphe pride collection so they had a
what are we 25 pan palette and a seven
piece brush set this sold out so quickly
on the Australian whip brush set did
yeah yeah I should i Pell it I think was
I don't know if it's still available but
I've heard really good things about it
I'm still on the fence about whether I
purchase but this is a palette that I
think
you're into color and you want some
things that you can work into wearable
looks as well I think this is a really
nice range of shadows in this palette I
think this is probably one of the best
morphe palettes I've seen which is
surprising that's why we want to mention
it melt also released a new palette now
melt is one of those brands that because
of the success of the Gemini palette
people are always like what are they
releasing next I don't think anything
has really come close to being as
exciting but they did release the
impulsive palette so this is to sort of
sum up the founders friendship and
working relationship so half of it was
quite business-related half of it was
partying there was a mix of bright
colors like a red mustardy color some
greens some metallic blues and some yeah
it was it was a thing I've heard some
good things about this and yeah if you
want it it's a it's out check it out
from love luxe beauty we had two new
limited edition nine pen eyeshadow
palettes and these have got some
florescent vibes to them so there's
something gorgeous palette which is 40
US dollars it's bright girly and
gorgeous with warm pinks and coral sorry
cool purples and then we have this
something fun palette 35 US dollars
which was blues and greens with a silver
dotted in there yeah I think for me this
is probably the most interesting indie
release that I've seen in June I'm a bit
bummed we didn't do those recaps earlier
on because I heard a beauty released the
neon pellets in May mm-hmm so this is
the sort of same kind of vibe but I
quite like these I think they're fun so
that was probably my indie peak of the
month one of the biggest things that
people were talking about in June I
think throughout May were talking about
the mini Mac summer fix+ so they had
like the watermelon one and the
pineapple one and the peony and the
white tea was it yeah and the cucumber
but so we had seen there is talk that
people
talking about them for quite a while but
then all of a sudden Mac released fix+
with SPF 30 there's got a lot of people
interested because this is a type of
product that if you like to apply SPF
under your makeup but you know that it
sort of wears off throughout the day you
can sort of retouch it up with this
spray so this sort of a lot of people
were interested in this it's available
now it's coming out different places
throughout the world and it's still on
my wish list then from lush we had some
limited edition shower gels that were
based on popular bath balm sense so the
sense that we had our goddess sex bomb
intergalactic turmeric latte groovy kind
of love and guardians of the forest and
they're available now everywhere until
stock runs out yeah so online only I
believe but a lot of people were
interested in these because you know if
you have your favorite bath bomb scent
and you love that experience you can
take it in the shower with you and reuse
it multiple times yeah like a bath bomb
yes all right let's go into some
interesting collaborations and some of
nourish our so Mac did lipstick with
mary j blige so this is already released
in the US and it is a new type of mac
lipstick that's actually launching on
the 1st of august so this is the love
me' lipstick which is supposed to be
like a matte finish like a soft matte
finish but has a lot of oils and it's
supposed to be very hydrating and
comfortable but mary j blige did collab
to create this nerd sort of pinky peach
color that looks really interesting but
it's gonna be one of the twenty four
shades released but this is like the
preview of the formula and this one does
have special packaging yes with her
signature on it yeah yeah from wet and
wild beauty we had the Packman
collection he contains the Wacka Wacka
Wacka I shall
I love it I love that noise then there
was the game over color palette ghost
gloss in the shades inky pinky Clyde and
blinky I love that I know that we had
the bonus fruit lip balm and lip scrub
there's the wakka-wakka-wakka powder
brush the high school blush palette and
the power pellets highlighter and
bronzer yeah alright moving on to random
collections we're gonna start with elf
this is jelly pop you guys were look
people are excited you were fangirling
for this [ __ ] so yeah I was fangirling

and Joey glow collection it consists of
flush blushes which are like a jelly
type blush yeah they're in our pot yeah
there's a cleanser a do primer
juicy glosses eye and face glosses I
don't know about that okay awesome that
one yeah then we have the water gel
moisturizer and a brush I dig it I dig
the packaging yes this is a limited
edition jelly pop collection and it's
launching 10th of July so when you're
watching this it's already out but they
did announce it in June and people were
very excited yes another collection that
we saw right at the start of June once
again I nearly forgot about this is a
Geoffrey Star jawbreaker collection this
is the summer collection and it's his
biggest collection to date all right so
this collection contains the jawbreaker
pellet which is a 24 shade pellet bigger
than his other ones a mini breaker
palette which has nine shades the
jawbreaker bundles the two then there's
the brain freeze
skin frost Pro palette so this had six
skin Frost's in it then there were new
shades of the Lua liquid lipsticks
they're the matte liquid lipsticks there
are six shades
there's the bundle that you could buy
all six shades the lip ammunition so
these are the bullet lipsticks these
were all the sort of topper sort of
clear
there were six new shades of those three
new scents or flavors of the velour lip
scrubs three new shades of the supreme
frost highlighters and a bunch of
accessories including makeup brat a bags
had mirrors etc so that was a pretty big
and extensive collection for summer from
k'kaw we had a body collection so this
consisted of the body foundation in
seven shades forty five US dollars the
body shimmer in three shades for thirty
five US dollars and the loose shimmer
body powder for face and body available
in three shades thirty seven dollars and
a body brush twenty seven dollars oh
sorry twenty seven dollars and a body
brush thirty two dollars and then they
have been hacks yeah so this brought up
a lot of discussion about body makeup do
you need it why do you need it who will
like it and this I think like I said in
the sort of episode that we talked about
this a little bit more I think if you
are going out and you want to make your
legs or your arms look fantastic or if
you have issues with scarring from body
acne mm-hmm body makeup is actually yeah
not a bad thing yeah not a thing for
everyday
no but it can be very not everyone your
best yeah absolutely
some people do like it alright now the
last things we're going to get onto a
colour-pop they've released a lot but
we've just picked out the main
collections that they've released first
up we had the AHA honey palette and
basically everything that they've
released sue to support that palette and
by released I mean actually bundled
together from existing collections well
there are a couple of new releases but
most things were just reap yes yes so
there was the AHA honey palette $12
there was a pigment duo pocket full of
yellow pigment you were twelve dollars
and there catch some Sun brush bundle
twenty dollars and here we glow glow
again for a beauty bundle for $24 and
that did contain the new turmeric face
milk
correct so this was very yellow inspired
I do foresee that they're going to be
bringing more colored capsule releases
out soon people were asking for yellow
they delivered some beautiful looks came
out using this palette but a lot of
people were commenting on the fact that
the glitter in the middle is not isafe
so use at your own caution I don't think
any of their glitter so technically I
say no and that's a thing like sometimes
you know it might be safe for the eye
from usin just yeah what they've played
around with and what they've tested but
technically if you look at the
regulations it's not safe for the lies
so that's how they have to label it and
it's used at your own discretion
they also fleshed out their periwinkle
blue color collections so this is to go
with the blue moon palette that came out
I believe in May and this was a mascara
a gel liner and a pencil liner all in
periwinkle blue as well as a new glitter
so just to flesh that color range out
then we had some new loose glitters
there are seven shades seven dollars
each or you could buy the whole bundle
for forty bucks yeah so this was the
first time they brought out loose
glitters in the same sort of pigment
pots prior to that they had pressed
glitters they had gel glitters but this
is they were all like holographic
beautiful fun glitters they also
released their summer collection this
was the California love collection it
came with the California love palette
for new shades of ultra blotted lip and
two shades of BFF mascara a brown one
and a coral one coral mushara coral
mushara sorry five shades of ultra
blotted lip and coral Michelle and coral
mushara alright so that was our update
and our recap of things happening in
June or that did happen in June and
things that will be happening in July so
if you like this concept definitely give
it a thumbs up it's a little bit more
palatable
maybe even like if you want to get
people involved in the beauty news
community and they get very daunted by
episodes so this might be one that it
can be like guys it's easier to watch 15
minutes I don't know how long this is
going to be it's 20 something minutes
