I have been eyeballing beauty products from Topshop for some time. I finally went on ahead and ordered a few things after three glasses of champagne. Funny how that happens… I ended up going with their highlighter in Horizon ($16.00) which I saw on Makeup and Beauty Blog (thanks Karen!), and found two lip items that looked promising. One is…

Every now and then, you see something that really gets your juices flowing. At times, you want to act on that moment, and pull the trigger on this item that has you so excited. Then you frantically search for the price tag, hoping, wishing, dreaming, fantasizing about this item you have your heart set on. Sometimes you don’t find the…

In my lifetime, I have probably tried around five or six different Dominican products and brands. I have only had one bad experience, which was the shampoo and conditioner making my hair a tangled mess. As far as deep conditioning, I typically deep condition every single time I wash my hair because my hair loves and lacks moisture. By deep…

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all??… so I finally tried out the double-ended Tony Moly Crystal Lovely Eyes Eyeliner I bought from the haul in Annandale. I don’t know what took me so long to try this out. I reckon my wardrobe doesn’t really include items that would go well with this eyeliner. I don’t…

Hey-oh! Just in time for the holidays, I bring you Essie’s Toggle to the Top, which is apparently part of their winter collection from last year. I saw them on a whim in CVS when I was figuring out what to get because I needed cash back. I caught this out of the corner of my eye—and how could I…

Whenever I see bobs, I get excited. This is confusing to me because I have had more luck with long hair than short hair. I would say 90% of the time I order short hair, I always feel like, ugh, why did I do that… With long hair, I can do so many things to it to get it the…

I have a love-hate relationship with this Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner. I purchased this one a while back in Mat Black ($23.00). I thought I would totally fall in love with the felt-like tip of the eyeliner pen. Overall, I don’t find myself loving this product until it has dried on my lid.

Happy Friday! I think after a day of overindulgence, something to make yourself feel much better, less guilty, and refreshed would be a good exfoliatin’! Ardell Frutique’s Papaya Enzyme Exfoliating Gel (~$15.00) has been a part of my skincare regimen for a little over a year. The first time I used it, I thought wow, my face feels so smooth!

Well maybe not sliced bread. But pretty damn close. When I was a child, I learned to take a bath with a washcloth and a bar of soap. As the years went by, I started using loofahs. I stuck with loofahs for a long time. But I always had that nostalgic feeling of missing the feeling of extreme cleanliness after…

Good day Beauties! I decided to finally crack open the Tonymoly Timeless Placenta Hydrogel Mask and boy am I glad I did! This is an absolutely gorgeous mask. I know masks aren’t meant to be pretty but I love this mask just because of the way it looks! It took me a little while to actually get it on my…

I recently received this as a sample. I had no idea that this product had been out for quite some time. Nevertheless, I like it. I’m not in love with it—but I like it. It seems that it only comes in one color: Black Honey. This product is described as follows: Not quite lipstick, not quite lip gloss but works…

Nars Almeria Blush ($30) is described as tan-rose and it is spot on. It’s very much buildable and easy to apply. That said, this is my new go-to blush for the remainder of fall and all of winter! When I first started applying it, I thought, well this is barely even going on, but then I realized how buildable it…

Happy Friday! So it was beyond time for me to replace my hairstyle and I sort of spontaneously emptied a shopping cart I had been holding for some time… I just actually purchased this hair this week. I received it, washed it, blow dried it, flat ironed it, sewed on the elastic and dropped it on my head. I decided…

On my quest to keep my skin from looking like a bucket of grease, I wandered into Sephora to find primer. I have tried many and they mostly just clog my pores and cause me pimples. So annoying. So 97% of the time I go into Sephora, I know exactly what I want. This time however, I required assistance. As…

In the midst of my battle of the blotting papers, I purchased TATCHAs online . I was pleasantly surprised at what I received in the mail.

So I have very oily skin. I do what I can to control it, but nevertheless, I am a skincare addict. I am going through a mask phase. Recently, I tried this mask from Aritaum. They make a variety of masks and I purchased quite a few. The one in question presently is Collagen.

I really wanted to love this mascara. After all, it does say it’s better than sex. This is an exaggeration. I have had better– for cheaper too. I believe this guy was $23. I would say this mascara is like sloppy sex because when you first open it, the mascara comes gushing out–literally gushing out of the bottle. It’s clumpy…
