Came across these photos and I am loving eveything about it from the haircut to the bright red lipstick. Take me back! I’m in between looks right now which sounds kinda crazy but this gave me some major inspo! I kind of want to bleach my hair and put my individual eyelashes on, but I am also pretty lazy and…

You know, I thought with this whole global pandemic thing that working from home would be fantastic. In the past, I thought I would enjoy a full-time work-from-home job because of the convenience, but I really love being in the city. I often remind myself that many people work from home and are successful at it, so maybe I just…

There’s nothing we need more right now than to take a deep breath and relax. Sometimes, it’s the simple things that get you through a trying time. Burning a candle for a few hours definitely helps me go to my happy place. I usually go for candles that are really fragrant. As far as scent, I’m an open book. Sometimes,…

Boy, do I love a neutral-pink, springtime shade! I picked up the Chanel Le Vernis in Daydream over a month ago and it took me another month to finally break it out and use it. This and one of the brand’s lipstick shades from the spring collection were instant purchases after seeing this image on Instagram:

Wigs are a gift and a curse, man. I love them so much because it makes managing that part of my life incredibly easy, plus I really love long hair. Lately, I have had the repetitive thought that maybe I should just shave it all off and start all over. I mean, I do go natural for two years and…

As a person with very sparse eyebrows, I am always looking for brow products that will make my life a lot easier when drawing my brows on. I really love pomades. The Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow is definitely a staple. The last pomade I bought and loved was Kat Von D’s brow pomade, which lasts longer than ABH’s. So…

My skin type Oily and imperfect. I have fading dark acne scars and tiny icepick scars on my cheeks. What it’s supposed to do From the…

You know, I was going to clean up this photo some; stage it to look aesthetically pleasing, but I changed my mind. It’s not perfect but everything in this photo, just like this candle makes me pretty happy.

Whew! I never thought I would see the day when The Ordinary was sold at Nordstrom! I have loads of reviews of The Ordinary’s products on this site and Nordstrom is one of my favorite stores for beauty. The best of both worlds! There are ten products currently available:

I initially thought the Becca Ultimate Coverage Longwear Concealer was a replacement for one of my favorite concealers, the brand’s Ultimate Coverage Concealing Creme. While a lot of retail stores have discontinued that product, it is still on Becca’s website. So hopefully they will keep it on. This product is also great, especially for covering scars! Read on for a…

For this look, I wanted something low maintenance but still quite radiant with a bit of color. Raisin has always been a color that has complemented my skin tone so this is the shade that inspired this look.

A few weeks back when Ulta had a 20% off sale, I picked up quite a few items. It’s funny because the Sephora sale was just before that and I did not partake at all. Here’s what I made out with.

What a fantastic find! I had been eyeballing the $6 Morphe 3B Pure Nude Palette for a long time before I finally just checked out with it, thanks to a fantastic Ulta sale a few weeks back. The palette has just three shades in it and no mirror and it’s the size of a small candy bar.

Do you like the smell of cherries? How about in your skincare? Well, my favorite cleansing balm now comes in cherry and it’s just as good as the lime! The Farmacy Very Cherry Clean cleansing balm performs the exact same as the Green Clean, so I’ll just link to that review rather than go through the motions with this one. It is worth describing…

Makeup Face Fenty Setting Powder: I wasn’t incredibly consistent with any particular foundation (in an effort to use them all), but I did start pressing this setting powder into my skin. Reached for it a lot!

Look who’s arriving fashionably late to the party! 👀 I bought the Fresh Sugar Lemon Hydrating Lip Balm on a whim many moons ago after seeing it randomly on some department store’s app. I figured, I bet this smells like lemon meringue pie… I want my lips to smell like lemon meringue pie! And guess what? It does!

I just came back from a fantastic few days in NYC to watch a few matches at the US Open. It was fantastic! Waking up in the hotel room with a scratchy throat in the morning didn’t really bother me until the last day. I had no other symptoms so I figured I’d pop a Naproxen (or 2 Aleve’s) and…

PSA: Haba Rose Honey & Milk Ceramide Masks are the best sheet masks I have ever tried! You guysssssssss. These really expensive, Japanese sheet masks are amazing! I purchased these in NY recently and almost passed them up, but the rose, honey, and milk really drew me in. I am so glad I got them because they make my face…
