The Magnificent CoverFX Custom Enhancer Drops
I was quite hesitant about getting the CoverFX Custom Enhancer Drops ($42.00) after my fiasco with their Custom Cover Drops. After the first time I used the enhancer drops, I was hooked.

Schwarzkopf Blond Me Toner – Ice (Plus some Fried Hair)
I had this great idea that I wanted to stay blonde all summer and maybe into the fall. The blonde synthetic wig (Evlyn) I’ve been wearing is on its last leg; I have already had to cut the ends off because it got all rough and started aggravating my skin. Now those ends are getting rough and it’s just time…

The Enchanted Garden of Chloris
Today’s post is inspired by Chloris, nymph of the Islands of the Blessed, keeper and somewhat of a goddess of the flowers. This look was achieved with ColourPop Creme Gel Liner No Shame and Mac Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick Dance With Me. Generally, I find the safest way to use purple liner is on the lower lash line, but I…

ColourPop Creme Gel Liners | Piggy Bank | No Shame | Swerve
The thing I like most about ColourPop is that they show that you don’t need to charge a ton of money for good, quality products. No brand is perfect, and I have certainly had some not-so-perfect run-ins with some of their Lippie Stix, but I have had way more good experiences with the brand than bad. Lately, I notice that…

Innisfree The Green Tea Seed Serum | Review
I haven’t had much luck with Innisfree products; none that I have used thus far have ever wowed me. I think my luck has changed, though. I received the Green Tea Seed Serum as part of a care package from my sister who lives in South Korea. My first impression of the serum was one of hesitance. It’s quite fragranced…

Smashbox Always On Matte Lip – Stepping Out (Deep Nude)
The Smashbox Always On Matte Lip ($24.00) has been out for some time now. I went into Sephora for something totally not this and walked out with this nude lip in Stepping Out and two other nude lippies, Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Molasses and Bite Beauty Glace. See 10 nude lipsticks for dark skin That was a surprise because when I…

Giovanni Avocado & Olive Oil Leave-In Spray
I fell in love with Giovanni when I tried their Smooth as Silk Leave-In Conditioner. What took me so long to try other products in their brand?! I was trolling around in Marshalls when I came across the Giovanni Avocado & Olive Oil Leave-In Spray (4 fl oz) for dry, damaged hair. My hair is definitely dry and it’s almost…

ColourPop Ultra Metallic Lip | Zebra & 3-Way
The ColourPop Ultra Metallic Lipsticks ($6.00) were a completely impulsive buy for me. I happened to be scrolling through instagram and saw this huge PSA from their account and everyone else’s about these and got overwhelmingly excited. When I received and tried these I was surprisingly underwhelmed. A lot of people will and do love these but I am just…

Bare Minerals Blemish Ready Foundation Review
The Bare Minerals Blemish Ready Foundation ($28.00) seemed like it was a great choice for me. I still have acne-prone skin that happens to love salicylic acid… I thought this would be a great alternative to those days where I don’t want to wear a full-coverage foundation. The idea of this foundation got me excited about wearing “next to no” foundation. Plus, the color Clearly…

Lancome Glow Subtil Silky Creme Highlighters | Swatches
The Lancome Glow Subtil Highlighters are very pretty; and yes, as everyone says, they are identical to CoulourPop in formula (cream based) and packaging. The difference would be the cost, $30.00 for Glow Subtil compared to $8.00 ColourPop highlighters, and the colors. I wish I had more ColourPop highlighters to compare, but I’ve had a look and I feel like…

ColourPop X Jenn Im Super Shock Shadows Un, Deux, Trois, Quatre | Jenn …
What a long overdue post! If you follow me on Instagram, you have already seen what these shadows look like on me and you already know how beautifully wearable they are. Prior to the collaboration, I had not heard of Jenn Im, nor had I participated in any of the other collaboration purchases; they just didn’t speak to me. These…

The Most Moisturizing Lipstick Ever: Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick
Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick ($26.00) is the most moisturizing lipstick I have ever tried in my life. Sometimes, I have to stop and think hard about those bold statements when I make them; in this case I have no second thoughts about that statement when it comes to this lipstick and my naturally dry-ish lips! My first experience with…

Sephora Wonderful Cushion Matte Lip Cream | Totally Underrated!
The Sephora Wonderful Cushion Matte Lip Cream ($8.00) surprised me. I’m not sure why because I have been saying since… well forever, that the Sephora Collection is totally underrated. The lip cream is housed in a tube applicator that you need to squeeze in order to release the product. I was really coy with the tube at first, but you…

Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme: Loved
Up for review is the last in my collection of the Milani Amore Matte Lip Cremes in Loved — and it’s my favorite of the bunch! Loved is described as a nude brown, but pulls more pink on me. Upon application, it is cushiony and moisturizing, but can be drying even with lip balm. It lasts on me all day but…

Sephora Bright Future Color Corrector – Melon
I have been holding on to this color corrector for quite some time. It kind of took the back-burner to the YSL Touch Elcat Neutralizer but I still use it from time to time. The Sephora Bright Future Color Corrector ($14.00) is a great alternative to the YSL corrector, if you’re on a budget.

Freetress Equal Premium Lace Front Wig – Evlyn (Taffy)
I have been wanting my hair lighter since it got hot. I had been wearing my Mermaid2 wig for some time, but I wanted to go lighter. When I came across Freetress Equal Evlyn, I thought this might be a good option.
