Astrological Beauty Is Here... and We're Starry-Eyed!

Aries - Calm your farm - more cosmetics are coming. Look for a sign to make sure you buy the right one.

Cancer - Don't get crabby if you're favourite lipstick is sold out. There's a new one coming your way - with your name on it!

Scorpio - Current highlighters not doing it for you? Put that stinger away, a blinding highlight is about to hit! 

Has old Tabby gone mad? Nope, I'm just in the thrall of the latest trend. Astrological-inspired cosmetics are going supernova! Brand after brand is bringing out collections, each with their own take - and we are loving it! So what's out there to get all starry eyed over? Check these out.

It's not the first time Kathleen Lights has put something astrological to her name. Previous collections with ColourPop have seen her release astrologically named products before, but she's never given us a galaxy of options... until now. Her latest collection - 'The Zodiac Collection' - has everything you need to create a gorgeous face of colour, including an eye palette, Lux Lipsticks, Super Shock Highlighters, and Supernova Shadow.

Followers of astrology will know that Mercury in retrograde can lead to... not the best of times. Some say it's more likely to cause you to get the grumps with loved one. It's not a good time to sign contracts. You don't want to set up a new business or launch a new facet of a business. As for electronics? If they're going to have a meltdown it'll be during this time. (Note to self - keep water bottle away from laptop.) Poor old Mercury, it gets a lot of grief for moving backwards, which - FUN FACT - it actually doesn't go backwards, it just appears to. It's a whole time/space/science/astronomy thing that you can read more about, along with why people are interesting in Mercury retrograde, here. Whether you're a believer or not, one good thing has come from Mercury in retrograde and that's Essie releasing two new polishes. 'Keep Calm' and 'Mercury On'. Infused with celestial pearl particles, it's said they'll help keep the bad vibes at bay. Either way, they're gorgeous and looking at them any time of day, week, year, time will give you a case of the happies.

I almost purchased the kathleen lights set until I saw the exchange price and changed my mind. Wish the nz dollar wasn’t so low ;(

Loving that Essie nail polish and hoping that this is going to be a continuing Celestial trend :)

Those two nail polishes by Essie look amazing! That palette by BH cosmetics looks absolutely wonderful too!

12th August, 2018

Omg love this so much and wow - those Essie nailpolishes, going to hunt those down as they are beautiful. As the fad fading, I guess it depends how popular it ends up being.

10th August, 2018

Wow I think this will be a huge hit, I’m excited just looking at it. I can’t wait to get my hands on this range.

10th August, 2018

Oooh pretty! So shiny and it looks so smooth!

Love celestial make up. The Chi Chi palette was the first thing I saw.

I'm not sure if the fad will stay or fade. The products are pretty and sparkly though and we know pretty, sparkly things make a lot people pull out the plastic. At the end of the day whether or not I'll buy something depends on whether I like the shade and think I will use it, not because of the name.

8th August, 2018

What an awesome presentation ! I think they are here to stay if the products are as good as they look -WOW !

8th August, 2018

So many pretty colours!

7th August, 2018

The Essie polishes look so pretty... especially the light blue... I’m looking forward to seeing the colours of Pisces, especially the lip glosses...
