The Best Concealer Ever: Becca Ultimate Coverage Concealing Creme

The Best Concealer Ever: Becca Ultimate Coverage Concealing Creme

This post will be mostly graphic because photos speak louder than words sometimes. I went looking for a concealer that would cover up the awful hyperpigmentation as a result of a face mutiny and I was really curious about Becca Ultimate Coverage Concealing Creme ($32.00). I swatched the colors Chestnut and Treacle and ended up going with Chestnut as it…

My IPKN GelStealer Pen Liner – Real Black (#01)

My IPKN GelStealer Pen Liner – Real Black (#01)

I did not love the My Ipkn Gelstealer Pen Liner the first time I tried it. I actually didn’t love it the second time I tried it either. This liner behaved like uncomfortable leather shoes you need to “break in” before you truly start loving them. The liner was skittish; I would need to go over the same line before…

Colourpop Birthday Boy Super Shock Shadow | Chilly Chili Ultra Matte Lip

Colourpop Super Shock Shadow in Birthday Boy was an anniversary release, and was provided free with a purchase. It’s a gray-silver sparkly shadow, with somewhat of a brown base. Part of my purchase was ColourPop Ultra Matte Chilly Chili ($6.00), which has become a lippie that I reach for constantly.

The Highlight of My Day | 4 Unique Highlighters That Have Me Drooling

The Highlight of My Day | 4 Unique Highlighters That Have Me Drooling

Highlighters seem like such an easy buy, but for me, I have a hard time with them. I never caught on to the strobing trend, but I can’t deny that I am lured by the call of the highlighter. I recently spent way too much time found myself in Sephora looking for a powder foundation (and I found one I’m…

Sheet Mask Magic: Tosowoong Pure Aloe Mask

Sheet Mask Magic: Tosowoong Pure Aloe Mask

I want to talk about the Tosowoong Aloe Sheet Mask ($2.00) because it did something really strange to me. I have had this small… er… population of lurker zits hiding under my right cheek for at least three months, likely more. You know, the kind that you can feel underneath your skin, but they just haven’t shown their ugly faces.…

Charlotte Tilbury Bar of Gold: The Perfect Highlighter For Me

Charlotte Tilbury Bar of Gold: The Perfect Highlighter For Me

Now here’s a highlighter I don’t use often but should. I had waited quite some time to get my hands on Charlotte Tilbury’s Bar of Gold ($42.00). It’s likely one of the best highlighters out there in my opinion, for the simple fact that when you wear it, it doesn’t look like your face fell in love with Midas. It’s super…

Summer breeze | Makes me feel fine | Blowing through the jasmine in my mind… Gotta love the Isley Brothers! It’s summer. Like officially summer. Naturally, that means less is more. Sometimes, that’s not always the case with me when it comes to makeup, but I have been wearing the Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien for some time and…

For the Summer Solstice: Farmacy Skin Dew Hydrating Essence Mist

Today (June 20th) is the Summer Solstice, the day when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. As a result, we will get 15 hours of sunlight! I can’t wait to get to yoga! That brings me to this review of the The Farmacy Skin Dew Hydrating Essence Mist ($44.00 for 3.3 fl. oz/97 ml), which will definitely come in…

Face Heaven: Tosowoong Dr. Troubex Sparkling Mask + Daiso Silicone Mask Cover

My face has never felt this good from a sheet mask. I even repeated the exact process with different sheet masks and I did not get these results. I want to first talk about the Tosowoong Dr. Troubex Sparkling Mask , and then the Daiso Silicon Mask Cover. I don’t know who Dr. Troubex is, but he/she is amazing. Certainly…

Dynamic Sonic Instant Eye Lift Review!

Dynamic Sonic Instant Eye Lift Review!

Today, I have a post on my terrible eye bags! I’ve come to the conclusion that in order to get rid of my eye bags, I need to go get fillers. Fillers are expensive (about $1500 per syringe per my research), so in the mean time I was sooooo excited to try out Dynamic Sonic’s Instant Eye Lift! It’s supposed…

Innisfree Sea Salt Perfect Cleanser

Sometimes it’s exhausting writing about lackluster products but I think it’s necessary. That said, today’s review is Innisfree Sea Salt Perfect Cleanser. I didn’t find anything particularly wow-ing about this and don’t use it often for that reason. However, I did find an interesting use for it. Innisfree Sea Salt Perfect Cleanser

Mediheal APL Film Capping Pack

Mediheal APL Film Capping Pack

Beauty is pain. And as far as this post is concerned, I mean that on all levels.  Confession #1: I often do not read the directions on beauty products that seem like common sense.  This is bad. Well, it hasn’t proved to be regrettable (yet), but I should really do better. The Mediheal APL Film Capping Pack is one of the…

Love Your Edges: Reviv Hair Stimulating Serum

Love Your Edges: Reviv Hair Stimulating Serum

My hairline is thinning. Yes… likely one of my worst beauty nightmares. Anyone that wears extension, weaves, wigs, hairpieces — whatever you fancy — is concerned about their edges; that is the hairline surrounding the forehead. I’d really like to keep my edges, but my behavior isn’t really all that conducive to that desire. I still continue to wear my…

Why I Love Make Up Forever Mat Velvet+ Foundation, Plus Bite Beauty Matte Creme Lip Crayon Glace

Why I Love Make Up Forever Mat Velvet+ Foundation, Plus Bite Beauty …

I have been hollering about how great Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet+ Foundation is for years. Somehow, I haven’t reviewed it on my blog, which is mind-blowing. I used to have a YouTube video on it, but it was so outdated and not the best representation of its glory. No matter how many foundations I try, Mat Velvet+ will…

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Makeup Stick (Suede-510) | Photos | Swatches | Review

Foundation review time! It feels like it has been ages since I’ve done a foundation review. A couple of months ago, my skin rebelled against me. It got so bad, it started to depress me. To this day, I have no idea what caused the breakouts and subsequent scarring (probably stress-related). As a result, I wanted to find a foundation…

I was really excited to try the Mediheal E.G.T. Timetox Ampoule Mask because of the scientific phrase, “epidermal growth therapy.” Yes, I’m a huge nerd. This was my first Mediheal mask, and it won’t be my last.

Bamboo, one of the strongest, natural materials and some of the fastest growing plants in the world. Does it translate over to hair? That was my question with Hask’s Bamboo Oil line.
