Hello all! In case you aren’t aware of my YouTube channel, I wanted to draft a little post here detailing the progress of my natural hair. I am five months in and I feel so great! I use the word liberated in the video often and there is no other word that describes it. Now I’m still going to protect…

I’ve been working with the Nars Soft Matte Concealer ($30.00) for a while now and I have some pretty positive thoughts on it! The name of the concealer is super accurate because it is very soft, and very matte, which I can appreciate as someone with pretty prominent eye bags. Check out this post on the swatches for dark skin, where…

The Estee Lauder Pure Envy Liquid Lip Potion (regularly $32.00 but on sale for $16.00) is definitely worth a try! I noticed these on sale a few weeks ago, and snagged the shade Extreme Nude, which at first sounds off-putting, but it’s actually very pretty. It’s a pinky-beige (on my skin tone) and is absolutely beautiful on my skin tone.…

A lot of ya’ll ain’t gonna like this… but I’m going to say it anyway.

I have had the Bravura Lactic Acid 10% for so long. I would use it intermittently because I just couldn’t get excited about it. I used it about five times before I totally started ignoring it. In the end, I found a magnificent use for it! My skin type Oily, acne scars on cheeks and a bit on the chin.…

I was on the fence about whether or not to buy the Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Palette. I had read so many different reviews on what it was like to work with this palette. I ultimately decided to get it because it sounded like my beloved Nars Loaded Palette as far as how powdery these were said to be and also…

The Ren GlycoLactic Radiance Renewal Mask really impressed me. It’s one of the products I picked up when I went to England last year, and has become a staple mask when I pamper myself. I made a habit of giving myself an at-home facial every weekend shortly after I purchased this mask. I’ve been slacking on that front lately, but…

I’m just going to sit this review of this holy grail concealer right here. Everybody and their mom has probably tried this concealer before, and I have been using it for some time. I just want to shout to the rooftops how great this concealer is and how crazy affordable it is at the same time!

Sheet masks are just sheet masks right? They provide moisture for the most part and sometimes a bit of brightening. I find that lately, a lot of them sort of blend in after a while as far as blowing my mind, but from time to time, there are a few that make me raise my eyebrows and nod my head…

The Sonya Esman X ColourPop Perks of Being a Wildflower Mini on the Go Collection includes four multitasking Multi Stix and one lippie primer. I picked these up a month or so ago from ColourPop for $18. Unfortunately, I dragged my feet getting this up and I no longer see it on their website, but ColourPop often brings products back…

The Fiona Stiles Artist Eyeshadow Quad in Oceanus is the prettiest of the three Fiona Stiles Quads I picked up from Ulta. It’s the most beautiful blue-green palette I have ever seen!!

I’ve finally gotten around to reviewing a few items I picked up from the ColourPop Summer Edit! I knew I had to have the Super Shock Shadow As You Wave ($5.00) at first glance. Sea Stars and Beach Blanket (currently on sale for $4.00 each) were fillers, as it just felt weird only buying one thing! I also filmed a…

Neostrata is a brand that continues to impress me. Their no nonsense, basic, and effective approach to skincare has made me a fan! In this post, I will be reviewing the Bionic Face Serum, with 10% Lactobionic Acid. My skin type Oily, acne scarring on cheeks and chin. What it’s supposed to do This is an antiaging serum that’s supposed…

I must admit, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale didn’t spark much for me in the makeup department, but there was at least one item in makeup that I wanted, which was the Laura Geller Eye Envy 5-Piece Collection Gel Eyeliners ($30.00). I saw these on QVC a while back and thought they were really pretty. This is a great deal for four…

1. Sephora Collection Creme Lip Stain Does it last all day? Yes. I remove during food time and reapply. Is it comfortable, and not drying? Yes. I often forget that I am wearing it. Does it transfer? Slightly Does it apply evenly and opaque? Yes!

Many of you have tried at least one product from The Ordinary; they are cheap, basic products that haven’t generally sparked much joy for me. They are special, though, because the whole point of the line was to show that active ingredients don’t have to be so expensive and inaccessible by the average person. The problem is, they’re pretty boring.…

The Maybelline Master Fairy Highlight ($9.99) is a great choice for those wanting to try a purple highlighter. There are many brands coming out with purple monochromatic highlighters; the first I saw was in an Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit (I believe), which I didn’t get to try. I remained skeptical about them until I found one I was willing…

I swear this cleansing oil lasts forever. I have been using this cleansing oil for so long! I’m nearly done using it and have a few thins to say about it. I have read mixed reviews of The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Light Oil. Either people love it or they hate it. I am on the love side…

I was excited to try the My Scheming Raw Job’s Tears Brightening Black Mask because it looked all scientificky and I have previously had great experiences with My Scheming sheet masks.

I’m never buying eyeshadow primer again! Says the gal with ridiculously oily eyelids… For someone with oily eyelids, you would think I would use eyeshadow primer every single time I wear eyeshadow. But since I don’t regularly buy it, and I don’t regularly buy it, I never have it handy. But you know what I always wear? Concealer. I know…
