Good day to you. Here’s a look I put together, perfect for a day-long event such as a graduation, where you don’t have the time to retouch. I focused on products that last all day on my oily skin and were vibrant enough to be noticeable, beautiful in photos, and completely wearable for all settings and events. Base Becca Ultimate…

If there is one thing I have come to appreciate about having sparse brows, is that I get to play with the shape of my brows without looking too crazy. I’ve been experimenting with my brows for some time now but I always go back to micro brow pencils, designed to be really precise and intentional when filling in your…

Here’s my most recent haul from The Ordinary and some initial thoughts. Mandelic Acid 10% Hands down, my favorite of the bunch, and just may be my favorite purchase ever from The Ordinary!

The Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Concealer was love at first swatch for me. I added this to my wishlist and vowed that it would be mine! Fast forward to the Sephora sale, and I picked this up along with the always-sold-out Selfie Kit. I opted for the darkest shade, 6W, as I wanted to mainly use this on my hyperpigmentation…

Spring is here and with spring comes the sun. I love the sun, but walking around outside without sun protection is a recipe for a dark ass forehead. When I used to go to yoga regularly, I was always caught in the sun trap; that feeling that the sun seemed to only want to love on my forehead. Blessed are…

A while back, Lorac released a set that included a full-sized blush, highlighter, and a sample-sized primer. I purchased the set sight unseen and used all of them together. It makes for a delicious combo and I especially loved the illuminating primer so much, I bought the full size.

When I look at this photo, the first thing that jumps out at me is my makeup but more on that later! I’m here today to talk about headbands!

Hey y’all! Apparently I am into holographic shiny things lately and recently went to Sephora to check out the Too Faced Mystical Effects Lipsticks. The lipsticks were strange lipstick colors, but when you swatched them, they weren’t so strange at all!

It’s almost that time of year again, where Sephora has its spring Beauty Insider sale. I must say, 15% off isn’t really that much, but somehow I am always lured in by this discount. For Rouge, the sale starts Friday, April 13th (Friday the 13th!) and that’s probably when I’ll be doing my hauling. It goes until April 16th and…

I’d been dying to try that Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Deodorant and I finally went for it when I saw there was a set for the same price as the deodorant ($25.00). Now, I had heard great things about the deodorant previously from reliable sources, so I had high hopes. There was just one problem. My skin type I suppose…

I wanted to write about the candle I recently started burning from Illume, a brand mostly seen in Anthropologie (I found mine at Nordstrom under the Anthropologie brand).
