The Fiona Stiles Light Illusion Perfecting & Brightening Stylo is a concealer pen that is supposed to brighten and luminize the face. It certainly channels the YSL Touche Eclat, does what it says it’s supposed to do, and is currently only $5.00 on Ulta.com. I purchased the shade Tan (9-10). Join me on this photo tutorial and review! Fiona Stiles…

I’m taking it wayback for a minute to show off some Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer swatches. I only swatched the darker colors that I thought might match my skin tone. The texture of the concealer is indeed soft and appeared to spread easily. When I swatched these, I didn’t purchase them, but I plan to, to see how it…

Bronzer, you shall not defeat me! I am often super reminiscent of a bronzer I purchased from Victoria’s Secret many, many eons ago. It was everything I looked for in a bronzer! It gave me a gorgeous glow and I was darker than I am now, as I was living in Miami and was two shades darker all-year-round! I have…

… and out of my head. Lately, I have been in such a rut; with my blog, and also mentally. I feel stagnant, uninspired, and like there is a general lack of creativity on my part. I’ve been spending too much time on Instagram, comparing myself to others, and not enough time on myself (which really isn’t like me at…

I probably treat myself to spontaneous lipstick purchases more than I should. The Dior Rouge Couture Lipstick ($35.00) was definitely one of those purchases. After much thought, I settled on Chocolate Matte. My skin type My lips are naturally dry. I tried this lipstick with and without lip balm and it was fine. It’s neither drying nor moisturizing on its own,…

I am a huge fan of Erborian, so when I saw a few reviews of their new Black Cleansing Oil giving it high marks I had to get mine out there in the world. This has been sitting in my review queue for some time because I had to be completely sure of how I felt about it.

By now, everyone that loves lipstick has heard about ColourPop’s Ultra Blotted Lips. I was very excited to try them out, and even took one of the colors with me to Turks & Caicos. The formula is supposed to be a lightweight, transfer-proof matte formula. There are eight colors and I bought two of them. I found that the experience…

After my success with Hydropeptide’s Lumapro-C Lotion for my acne scars, I was very much looking forward to trying their Nimni Cream, a patened collagen support complex cream. It’s also got retinol as a main ingredient. I have always found it very hard to get excited bout retinol, but when I read that it’s a time-release retinol, my antennas went…

I recently acquired two new pieces of eye makeup that I have just been obsessed with. The first is the Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Proliner in Obsidian Black, and the other is an old flame that came out with a new color, the Eye Tint in Armani Cruise. Armani Cruise is a warm almond brown and provides me a…

The Amorepacific Treatment Toner caught my eye because of the fancy ingredients. I’m not a huge moisturizing toner person, and usually go for acid toners. However, this was my first Amorepacific purchase and it had pretty good reviews so I thought I would splurge on this $50.00 toner.

One of the most important steps in makeup for me is taking it all off at the end of the day. I’ve never really been too fussed about cleansers, especially oil cleansers because most of them actually remove surface makeup. There have been some exceptions though! However, I have come across some that do not remove waterproof makeup. As of…

It’s definitely summer! I’ve got a long-overdue sunscreen review today. If you follow me on Instagram, you know I have talked a little bit about this during Sunscreen Week. Speaking of sunscreen week, every week should be sunscreen week. It’s so easy to forget to put it on and the consequences are just not worth it! Prevention is key! My…

I must admit, until recently, I hadn’t worn powder foundation since I was 17 years old; the age I started experimenting with makeup. I bought Mac’s Mineralize SkinFinish Natural Powder while yearning for something lightweight but would still provide coverage. One thing Mac is wonderful at — a pioneer in — is providing a range of shades. I decided on…
