Sometimes, I know right away whether or not I like something. Masks are one of those things I am very quick to judge because you have to slather it on your entire face and sit with it. The Skinfood Egg White Pore Mask almost got the trash bucket, but I gave this multiple chances and it turns out, I actually like…

As much as I love sheet masks, patches have never really agreed with me; it’s probably more like I never agree with them. I suppose a big reason I should probably stop buying patches is because I use them once and that’s it. But that’s just my personality; when it comes to sheet masks, even, I have to really love…

Kevyn Aucoin’s Sensual Skin Enhancer ($48.00) was a total surprise for me. My local Sephora recently put a section of the brand’s products in its store and I went a-swatching. I was taken aback by the coverage and how little you needed to achieve a full-coverage face (and also how long it took me to discover this treasure). I was…

The first time I laid eyes on Givenchy’s Prisme Libre Loose Powder in Voile Audacieux ($54.00), I felt an overwhelming sense of infatuation. I loved everything about it, from its packaging — especially its packaging — to the different colors, to the idea of the powder itself. I was in love. Or so I thought I was…

I was introduced to Clarins Multi-Active Jour Cream SPF 20 ($54.00) via a deluxe-sized sample. The sample of this moisturizer convinced me to go ahead and purchase the full-sized version. That’s significant for me because there aren’t many products that have made me go out and buy the full-sized version, especially in skincare.

The Pat McGrath Labs Metalmorphosis Copper Kit ($60.00) is the most artsy makeup in my collection, and I’m sure that has something to do with the way it was marketed. I need more time for a complete review, but I wanted to share some of the photos I took with the look I created with the kit.

Bite Beauty Edgy Neutrals ($26.00 each) is a limited edition collection, however, there are some repromotes, including Molasses that I already own and adore. When I first saw the Edgy Neutrals collection, I side-eyed it because I didn’t think the colors would suit me. I went in Sephora and swatched five of the eight available shades.

As much as I hate to admit it, I am a sucker for things that smell like honey; more specifically, things that smell like the Papa Recipe Honey Bombee masks. I picked up the Sana Honeyshca All In One Serum and Gel from Everyday Beauty Lab in NYC. I knew it was an empty buy but it smelled so good!…

I picked up the Sephora Collection Citrus Brush Cleaner ($11.50 for 4 oz.) because I had run out of my cleaner from Cinema Secrets and wanted to see what else was out there. Besides its cleaning power, my favorite thing about this brush cleaner is the scent! It smells very citrusy, but not like oranges and I like that. It…

I really like mists. I like spraying them on my face thinking they are doing something. I like the idea that they actually do something, and they are refreshing right after cleansing.

The evolution of the brow is an interesting one. I remember when brows weren’t a thing; I remember when it was frowned upon to have bushy brows. I grew up in a time when women shaved off their brows just to draw them back on, or get them tattooed on. Today, much has changed (or has it?). Thick Instagram brows…

Hey ya’ll! This post is dedicated to the makeup products that I reached for in the most 2016, and by default that makes them my favorites! All of these have basically become staples for me. The only caveat is that a couple of the products were limited edition or were “discontinued.” The categories are: Lipstick Foundation Eyeshadow Blush Eyeliner Concealer…

I went to Sephora for no good reason and saw that they had the new Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow ($24.00). I turned my nose up at them at first thinking they couldn’t possibly be wearable, but I was wrong! I have a photo is Sephora light (the top photo), and a photo in artificial light…

This one has been in my stash for a while! ColourPop Poison ($5.00) is described as a brick red… one can never have too many red lipsticks. This is one of those classic red colors on me, rather than brick red. One of the things that I really enjoy about it, is that it’s not quite matte, but also not…

More Lovemore! I really love when sheet masks fit my face. I always thought I had an average sized face, but sheet masks totally make me second guess that. They almost never fit me. Lately, I have been having good luck in that department. One of those well-fitting masks is the Lovemore Yurong Scattered Amazing White Sheet Mask. This mask…

About 7 years ago, I went and got semi-permanent brow tattoos. Three years after, they had faded almost completely. My brows looked good, but my experience at the venue wasn’t positive enough that I would go back. I even thought it was a waste of time repeating the process because I would always have to go and redo them. Earlier…

Can you just have a look at those brows? Some of the best brows I ever drew. My natural brows are sparse. Like super sparse. Years ago, I went and got brow tattoos from this “interesting” office in Coral Gables. I thought because it was Coral Gables, it should be fine and most importantly, high quality. The quality was fine,…

I have had the Mediheal Mogongtox Soda Bubble Sheet for some time, but I hadn’t gotten around to using it until recently. If you follow me on instagram, I featured it in my Insta Stories and saved the video for your viewing pleasure! So if I can get right to it, my impression of the mask is that it is…
