Happy Friday! I just wanted to go ahead and show the other Lippie Stix I purchased from ColourPop, Fetch ($5.00). I had the same experience I did with the previous color, Yasmin. The waxy appearance on the lips, and the pasty look it gives me when I use it as a full lipstick. These photograph well but let me tell…

I totally wanted to love these. The ColourPop Lippie Stix ($5.00) look highly pigmented and they are super affordable. Yasmin is described as a full coverage, electric coral matte lip. On me, it was matte, but the color didn’t do anything for me. As far as application, it applied like a crayon. Yes, a wax crayon is what it reminded…

I just can’t get enough… I just can’t get enough… This is Kat Von D. Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Outlaw ($19.00). If I had my way, I’d get more of these, but I need to chill out. I went into the store (Sephora) to see what the difference was between Outlaw and Underage Red. From what I could tell (and…

There is something ridiculously classy about Victoria Beckham… When I found out that she had collaborated with Nails Inc for nail polish, I knew I had to have it. I looked all around and it turns out, the color I was most interested in, Bamboo White, was sold out everywhere! But Alas! I have found it online at Macys.com!! I…

Well, well, well, what do we have here? I didn’t think I was the type to fall for things like this, but I must admit I am truly curious about this. I have never heard of such a thing and naturally, as a skincare addict, when I came across the Iluminage Beauty Skin Rejuvenating Pillowcase with Copper Oxide, I couldn’t…

I can’t get enough of these liquid lipsticks from Kat Von D. I wasn’t sure that L.U.V. would show up nicely on me but I was more than pleasantly surprised to find that it did. I love how unique the colors in this collection are and that they look great on ladies of all shades. SEE MORE LIQUID LIPSTICK POSTS…

Obviously I saw cucumber and I thought, this must be good… Sheet mask time! I did something a little bit different with this sheet mask this time. I put it in the freezer before I put it on my face. YES, it was cold, but was it effective? Cucumber sheet mask

Yeah, you saw that right. I thought this was some kind of joke when I saw it on the Bloomingdale’s website. I even laughed out loud. People stared. But no… it’s real. I did not imagine it, and you aren’t either. You saw that right. 32.01 oz of Flowerbomb, likely one of the most popular and sexiest fragrances I have…

What you’ll need: Concealer: whatever you generally use. I prefer something with a pan as they usually last longer. Concealer brush: use a brush more stiff and pointy rather than fluffy. Setting/foundation powder: a pressed setting powder is best for this. Powder brush: anything you already have and fluffy. Hairspray: whatever you have around; this can be any type of…

Every month, without fail my body goes through hormonal changes and my skin will start to break out. Ladies, I’m sure you know what I am talking about. I try to pay close attention to my skin around this time before I get actual pimples. Since I have super oily skin, I usually apply some kind of mask, or make…

Good day to you all and happy, happy new year! One of my new year’s resolutions is to take better care of my hair. I really had to break down what that meant for me in order for me to be able to achieve this goal. I used to relax my hair every six weeks to the T. As a…

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…! And the most stressful! As the year was winding down, I kept getting the question, what do you want for Christmas, and at work, we did Secret Santa and I had to figure out some items that I wanted. This was the first year where I initially thought, meh… there’s nothing I…

I want these in every color. I’m putting two more into my cart as we speak… The Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick is superior to all others! I love it, I love it, I love it! Have I mentioned that I love it? A lot of people stay away from liquid lipstick because it’s drying and when it starts…

I started out making a video with this wig, but as the cold weather has set in proper lighting has been sparse. I just cannot find a sweet spot in my place, but I a working on it. So this wig is bob-a-licious. This is Violet from the Outre Quick Weave Eco Wig collection. I am not sure what’s up…

So far, I am very pleased with Topshop’s cosmetics line. I was looking for a new nude lip product and Topshop’s Lips in Mink ($12.00) does the trick for me. For me, this is a true nude. I usually apply lip balm before I put anything on my lips, but I tried this lipstick with and without lip balm and it…

So at the beginning of August, I told you all I would be doing the Greenhouse Effect on my hair again because my hair came out with the closure I removed. Well, I lied. Not purposely, things just didn’t work out that way. I ended up sewing down my wigs for a large portion of this time and only did…
