It’s taken me some time to get this review up, but I have been using the BlackUp Cosmetics Brown Nude Palette so much, I figured the wait would be worth it. It’s my first purchase from the brand and it did not let me down. The palette is full of browns and neutrals, but still versatile, as you’ll see in…

Sooooo, if you have seen my Currently Coveting post, you know I was seconds away from buying the Dior Forever Undercover Foundation when I found out that the Fenty Beauty Foundation I had been trying to get my hands on came back in stock. I really wanted to go in store to swatch the Dior foundation because I couldn’t decide…

Ahhh. It’s the beginning of the year and I already see lots of things I want. I seriously want 2018 to be a different year in beauty for me, a more intentional one, and one of my goals was to do more with what I have and spend less on things I really don’t feel strongly about. Not so much,…

I love a good beauty set. Even more, I love a good skincare set because not only do you get to try a bunch of different things at once, you get to take them with you if you’re traveling. Sometimes, there isn’t enough product in skincare sets to form an opinion on the product, but I’d say the Biossance Weightless…

The verdict is in and I still need more practice.

I’d been hearing positive things about the Smashbox Photo Strip Highlighting Palette for some time. I picked it up when it was part of Sephora’s Weekly Wow’s for $11.00 and I gotta say, I don’t regret it!

I am a fan of two-step masks. I am also a fan of Papa Recipe. So naturally when I saw the Papa Recipe 2 Step Cleaning Solution Mask, I had to give it a try. The mask includes a huge Q-Tip, the All Kill Peeling Bong, soaked in its goodness, and the sheet mask to use after.

Man. I used to hate going into rack stores (Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, Ross). I mean, I still do (I like order!), but a lot of them have stepped their game up when it comes to discounted beauty products. We are seeing brands like Mac, Kat Von D, and Bobbi Brown in rack stores now. I’ve even seen tempting Kbeauty products…

2017 was definitely a year full of makeup for me. I made Sephora Rouge for the first time and it definitely shows in more than one way! This year, I have compiled a list of my makeup favorites, some new some old, and all that spark some kind of joy for me. When you’re done here, check out last year’s…

So who wouldn’t want something called Lip Glow on their lips? I consider myself a lipstick connoisseur and definitely want Lip Glow on my lips. I’ve never really been into shiny lips, but Dior seems to do it tastefully. Naturally, when I heard there was a matte version of the Dior Addict Lip Glow ($34.00), I had to give it…

I had my eye on the Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Glow Moisturizer for some time. I’m not sure why, but anytime I see a heap of people come out saying something is great, I become very, very skeptical. That happened with this moisturizer courtesy of Influenster, by the way. I didn’t get mine from there, I bought it from Nordstrom. It…

Hey y’all. Today, I wanted to share the palette I created with ColourPop’s powder shadows. I’m in the process of editing a video on this, but here are some photos and swatches. I was going for purples and greens, which the brand doesn’t have much of, but I think I made out well. I added two colors I had already,…

Remember that blue eyeliner I swatched a while back from Laura Geller? Well, I have been wearing it a lot since I got it and it’s so beautiful. I also wear Deep Purple and Blackbird often, but Blue Jean Baby is definitely the MVP of the bunch. Other makeup: Kiko Milano High Pigment Shadow Pearly Coffee; Make Up For Ever…

Would you do it? Have you done it? For me, it’s always gone one way or the other, very bad or presentable in public 😅. In general, I’ve always gone by the eyeshadow rule for mattes and satins in the crease, but I wanted to test that theory for myself to see how I felt about it. Here is one…

Sephora has released a huge, new collection of new lipsticks called #lipstories! I, of course, fell for the marketing, and ordered three shades, one in each of the available finishes: Matte, Creamy, and Metallic. These are $8.00 a pop and I ended up ordering these sight unseen because these aren’t in stores yet. I made out with Yum Yum, Hong…

I have a thing for cleansers. It’s senseless, really, because it’s not necessarily based on joy, but for some reason, cleansers are my thing. Can you ever have too many? The answer to that question is ABSOLUTELY YES. To keep from becoming that girl, I saw this little Clinique Double Cleansing Detox Set and thought it was perfect for me…

Luckily I only missed one day of posting! Welcome to days 7 and 8 of the Countdown to Christmas series! The series focuses on red lipsticks, a common theme throughout the holiday season.…
