Rare Beauty
Rare Beauty x BÉIS Lip and Cheek Kit
Selena Gomez and Béis collaborated earlier this month on a luggage and makeup collaboration that was one for the books. On the makeup side, the collabration features two full-size set-exclusives with the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in Limitless (raspberry) and Positive Light Luminizing Lip Gloss in Limitless (raspberry with silver and pink shimmer). To accompany the collection on the travel side, there was a collection of checked bags, pouches, and carry-ons in the raspberry hue that sold out almost instantly.
The makeup is still available on Rare Beauty's website if you're looking for a new blush or lip gloss for those everyday occasions.
Valentino
