The last thing I need is another sticky lip gloss that makes my lips look larger than they already are. Good news! This ain’t one of them! The Becca Glow Lip Glosses are not sticky at all, smell like a vanilla cupcake with just enough frosting, and is flattering to my full, luscious lips. I have been using these since…

When the Becca Skin Love Foundation first came out, it didn’t seem all that interesting to me, but after I got a tube from a friend (Sienna), I was like 😱😱😱 THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! 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…

I’ve been on this unofficial quest to find a dupe for Ben Nye’s Banana Powder. I love it, and it’s a forever purchase, HG product, but good lordt is it hard to find. Of all the purchases, I’m sure I’ve bought some fakes too. I’ve tried a few different Banana Powders as dupes but neither of them hit the mark.…

The Ordinary “B” Oil really surprised me! At first glance (and smell) I didn’t think I would like it, but once I sampled it on my hand and saw how nicely it sank in, I was almost convinced, but still cautious. After a couple months of using it, I am happy to report I like it! A lot! I have…

Photo: Nordstrom.com From March 1 through April 14, Nordstrom is having a “Natural Beauty” feature. It looks like they have brought in beauty conscious brands for this pop-in event, some of which I’ve never even heard of before. I’m not particularly picky about having natural ingredients in my beauty products, but there’s something about the trend that’s appealing. For me,…

It’s hard to believe that at one point in my makeup life, I didn’t care for blush. I thought blush was basic af, that I didn’t really need it, and that it all looked alike on my skin. All it took was a little time and experimentation to clear that right up. Turns out, I love blush! My favorite blush…

Are you tired of shrieking ‘OMG’ everytime you take a scrunchie out of your hair because you’ve noticed you’ve ripped your hair out with it too? Well, I certainly was. That is what led me to the Slip Silk Scrunchie. I first saw these on Gothamista’s Instagram stories. I gave them a side eye because I was familiar with the…

New year, new stuff! I’ve got a gigantic Sephora cart I need to sort out. I’ve been eyeing quite a few products in the past couple of months; some that go back and forth between my cart and wish list. But if there’s one thing that’s certain, everything always makes it to my door, in the end! Here are a…

I always get excited when I see a new setting powder come out, more specifically one that’s brown. It seems like a no-brainer but I am not under the impression that they’ve been around very long. I still use translucent setting powders, Make Up For Ever’s is particularly good. But there’s nothing like seeing a brown one. Today, I’m talking…

I had been on an “eye creams are a waste of time, I need injectables” kick for a little while until I actually ran out of eye cream and was longing for a replacement. It turns out, they aren’t a waste of time and when I don’t have it, I want it! For me, I get all caught up in…

Wow, what a year 2018 has been! It’s a year I drastically cut back on makeup and skincare purchases (did NOT make Sephora Rouge this year!) and shopped my stash a little bit more, especially toward the end of the year. This year, I based the list on what I just couldn’t stop using throughout the year. Have a look…

Sooooo much better than the Matte Lip Glow! I just had to start this post off by saying that because if you recall, I was not impressed with the matte version of the Dior Lip Glows. In defense of the Lip Glow, prior to trying the matte version, I hadn’t tried any other Lip Glows. Very happy that this one…

It’s been a while since I talked about The Ordinary. Now that things have seemed to calm down with the brand, I’m ready to get back into it. Today, I’ll be talking about the Marine Hyaluronics. My skin type Oily, but less oily in the winter. I get two or three zits monthly due to hormones that leave behind scars.…

Have you spent your life searching for a coverage foundation that controls your oily skin, doesn’t need to be set with any powder, and never needs blotting? Well, you’ve come to the right place because I have found it! The Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation first came into my life as a deluxe-sample from Nordstrom about six months ago.…

I often wonder when the beauty industry will call “nude lipsticks” for what they are: beige. I’m guilty of it too, if only by social construction. However, it turns out, my lips are not beige; they are actually almost the same color as my face. So for me, a true nude lipstick is going to be something in the brown…
