Sheet masks are just sheet masks right? They provide moisture for the most part and sometimes a bit of brightening. I find that lately, a lot of them sort of blend in after a while as far as blowing my mind, but from time to time, there are a few that make me raise my eyebrows and nod my head…

The Sonya Esman X ColourPop Perks of Being a Wildflower Mini on the Go Collection includes four multitasking Multi Stix and one lippie primer. I picked these up a month or so ago from ColourPop for $18. Unfortunately, I dragged my feet getting this up and I no longer see it on their website, but ColourPop often brings products back…

I’ve finally gotten around to reviewing a few items I picked up from the ColourPop Summer Edit! I knew I had to have the Super Shock Shadow As You Wave ($5.00) at first glance. Sea Stars and Beach Blanket (currently on sale for $4.00 each) were fillers, as it just felt weird only buying one thing! I also filmed a…

I must admit, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale didn’t spark much for me in the makeup department, but there was at least one item in makeup that I wanted, which was the Laura Geller Eye Envy 5-Piece Collection Gel Eyeliners ($30.00). I saw these on QVC a while back and thought they were really pretty. This is a great deal for four…

Many of you have tried at least one product from The Ordinary; they are cheap, basic products that haven’t generally sparked much joy for me. They are special, though, because the whole point of the line was to show that active ingredients don’t have to be so expensive and inaccessible by the average person. The problem is, they’re pretty boring.…

The Maybelline Master Fairy Highlight ($9.99) is a great choice for those wanting to try a purple highlighter. There are many brands coming out with purple monochromatic highlighters; the first I saw was in an Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit (I believe), which I didn’t get to try. I remained skeptical about them until I found one I was willing…

I swear this cleansing oil lasts forever. I have been using this cleansing oil for so long! I’m nearly done using it and have a few thins to say about it. I have read mixed reviews of The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Light Oil. Either people love it or they hate it. I am on the love side…

I was excited to try the My Scheming Raw Job’s Tears Brightening Black Mask because it looked all scientificky and I have previously had great experiences with My Scheming sheet masks.

I’m never buying eyeshadow primer again! Says the gal with ridiculously oily eyelids… For someone with oily eyelids, you would think I would use eyeshadow primer every single time I wear eyeshadow. But since I don’t regularly buy it, and I don’t regularly buy it, I never have it handy. But you know what I always wear? Concealer. I know…

The Fiona Stiles Light Illusion Perfecting & Brightening Stylo is a concealer pen that is supposed to brighten and luminize the face. It certainly channels the YSL Touche Eclat, does what it says it’s supposed to do, and is currently only $5.00 on Ulta.com. I purchased the shade Tan (9-10). Join me on this photo tutorial and review! Fiona Stiles…

I’m taking it wayback for a minute to show off some Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer swatches. I only swatched the darker colors that I thought might match my skin tone. The texture of the concealer is indeed soft and appeared to spread easily. When I swatched these, I didn’t purchase them, but I plan to, to see how it…

Bronzer, you shall not defeat me! I am often super reminiscent of a bronzer I purchased from Victoria’s Secret many, many eons ago. It was everything I looked for in a bronzer! It gave me a gorgeous glow and I was darker than I am now, as I was living in Miami and was two shades darker all-year-round! I have…

I have had The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner 7% in my skin care rotation for some time now and it’s time for a review. My skin type Oily, major hyperpigmentation from acne on my cheeks and chin. What it’s supposed to do Glycolic Acid is an exfoliant. It’s supposed to improve the texture of the skin. I have some tiny…

… and out of my head. Lately, I have been in such a rut; with my blog, and also mentally. I feel stagnant, uninspired, and like there is a general lack of creativity on my part. I’ve been spending too much time on Instagram, comparing myself to others, and not enough time on myself (which really isn’t like me at…

I probably treat myself to spontaneous lipstick purchases more than I should. The Dior Rouge Couture Lipstick ($35.00) was definitely one of those purchases. After much thought, I settled on Chocolate Matte. My skin type My lips are naturally dry. I tried this lipstick with and without lip balm and it was fine. It’s neither drying nor moisturizing on its own,…

I am a huge fan of Erborian, so when I saw a few reviews of their new Black Cleansing Oil giving it high marks I had to get mine out there in the world. This has been sitting in my review queue for some time because I had to be completely sure of how I felt about it.
