As I am in the market for a new concealer, I decided to try out the new one I have spotted at Sephora over the past couple of weeks: it’s the Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer ($14.00). I have been wanting to try the Nars one, but decided to test this one out since the name of it is so fancy (haha).…

Dior has recently released an entire new line of Dior Addict Lipsticks for fall. Unfortunately, they haven’t made it into my Sephora yet. That didn’t stop me from seeing what all the fuss was about, assuming the formula will be the same with the new line! Dior Addict Lipsticks, Shown: Dior Kiss (578)

Now this mask was a surprise. I thought it was hydrogel, but apparently… skin gel is not hydrogel. It’s some cotton-gel hybrid alien skin. Kidding about the alien part, obviously. That said, this mask had some pros and it had some cons. And at the end of the day, the Ostia Snail Jade Pure Essence Skin Gel Mask ($4.99) was…

This review of the Sephora Colorful Shadow Liner & Pencil ($14.00) in Purple (15) will be very similar to the one in Dark Taupe Shimmer, with two differences: the finish and longevity. Sephora Colorful Shadow Liner & Pencil – Purple

Happy Labor Day! It’s quite appropriate to talk about ColourPop Ultra Matte Lipstick in Mars because it has been very laborious to get this lipstick to work for me. Eventually, I gave up on it. Which is a shame because the color is fantastic. You will see from the lip swatches how terrible this experience was for me. It reminded…

This morning I jolted out of bed with memories of the previous day when a colleague of mine pointed out a difference in the appearance of my skin… Not anything bad, just a difference. It instantly reminded me of how my skin hasn’t been the same since that massive forehead sunburn. I remembered how much I liked the last Lemon…

I was able to pick up the Topshop Chameleon highlighter in Mother of Pearl while I was in NYC. I’ve tried my best to capture this highlighter but it’s pretty hard to photograph for some reason. This is ironic because it certainly does sparkle. I reckon it’s time I got my camera game up lol. Topshop Chameleon Highlighter in Mother…

I love bubble baths. I mean I really, really love bubble baths. It can be 90 degrees out, and if I’m in the mood for a bath I’ll have one. Other than Lush’s bath bombs and bubble bars, I really haven’t found anything that actually produces long-lasting bubbles that make me feel like a pretty princess. Photo: www.tOrange.us

Ok, can we talk about Make Up For Ever’s Artist Shadow ($21.00)? On my recent trip to NYC, I was pleased… super excited is a more acccurate description… to find that the Sephora in Soho has a Make Up For Ever STORE inside it! I had been seeing two eyeshadow colors on display for the past few weeks. Every time…

This is the third one of these Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick Duo ($12.00) in my collection and I hope they continue to make more (I say that every time). I also have Violet/Palomino and Tangerine/Ligonberry. I like both and this one isn’t really an exception, although it is different; this one is the nude duo of the bunch. Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick…

I love it when things are free and they turn out to be so satisfying and worth my while! The Bite Beauty 250 point reward from Sephora is one of those things! The reward includes a mini (and I mean mini) tube of Bite Beauty’s Luminous Creme Lipstick in the color Bellini accompanied by a lip gloss in the same…

I don’t typically like surprises, but I do like happy accidents 🙂 ColourPop Tulle from their Ultra Matte liquid lipstick line is one of those happy accidents. Out of the batch I ordered, I thought I would like this one the least, but I have literally been reaching for it more than any other lippie this past week or so. …

You know the feeling you get after a night of dancing and sweating that by the time you get home, you just know your makeup looks a hot mess and has probably melted off your face? I often feel like that when I go out, in part to my oily skin and also because of the humidity this time of…

I mentioned here about how curious I was about the new Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation sticks ($43.00). So I finally went to Sephora to pick up a few things and had a chance to swatch them.

Sephora is running Beauty Appreciation Week, awarding Beauty Insiders twice, three times, and four times the points depending on the level of membership you have (I’m VIB). I went in to pick up necessities: my staple mascara Lancome Hypnose Drama mascara in Excessive Black and an Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof liquid eyeliner in Perversion; in addition, I walked out with…
