Kevyn Aucoin The Contour Book Volume II: Art of Sculpting + Defining Palette | …

I immediately lusted after Kevyn Aucoin’s The Contour Book Volume II: Art of Sculpting + Defining Palette ($65.00) when I saw it. I’ve just come back from a work trip to San Diego, my original stomping ground, and I’m off to London tomorrow. I’m doing this thing called “I hate checking bags, so let me make flying as efficient as possible” so I…

KIKO Fall Collection: Midnight Siren

KIKO Fall Collection: Midnight Siren

I nearly broke my makeup no-buy wandering in to KIKO. I did have a look at their fall collection, Midnight Siren. I was most impressed by their Moon Shadow Water Infused Eyeshadow ($9.00). There are five or six colors and I was mostly drawn to Attractive Plum (3) and Glistening Turquoise (4). Moon Shadow Water Infused Eyeshadow: Glistening Turquoise and…

Holding on to Summer

Holding on to Summer

This look has been in my queue for a month and I thought today, with the weather all cold, rainy, and gloomy, was a good day to post it. And to think, when it was 90 degrees and humid I let “I’m ready for fall” come out of my mouth. Smh. Bring back the sunshine!

Seriously Loving Sephora’s New Gel Serum Concealer | Photo Overload | Review

I really don’t think I would be sticking my foot in my mouth by saying the Sephora Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer has been the best beauty-related purchase I’ve made all year. Likely the best $14.00 I’ve ever spent! 🙂 I will let the photos do the talking but I wanted to cover the basics quickly. I purchased the concealer…

Relaunch of Dior Addict Lipsticks & a Review of Oversize

Relaunch of Dior Addict Lipsticks & a Review of Oversize

Dior has relaunched their Dior Addict Lipsticks ($35.00) for the fall and guess, what? I really, really like them, which surprises me because they are semi-sheer. I generally don’t waste my time (or money) on products that aren’t fully opaque (just a personal preference) but this lipstick is so classy-looking, super moisturizing, and totally buildable! It lasts on me until…

Holika Holika Soda Pore Cleansing BB Deep Cleansing Oil Review

I have been holding off on reviewing the Holika Holika Soda Pore Cleansing BB Deep Cleansing Oil for some time now, really because I have been trying to find a place for it in my skincare regimen.  To start, I have pretty oily skin, with my t-zone being the most oily. This subsides a bit during the winter months, but…

ColourPop Sticky Sweet | A Purple Blush that Works! (Review)

ColourPop Cosmetics is a brand that’s here to stay. They continue to please me over and over again.

What’s best, is that it doubles…
