Here is another great option for darker-toned ladies! It’s the NYX Xtreme Lip Cream in Buttery Nude ($5.99). Now these aren’t new at all, but when I can find a lip product that actually does look like a nude lip on me, I definitely keep it! This is more of a gloss than a lipstick, but it’s just as pigmented…

I recently picked up a few things from Kiko’s Cosmic Starlets Holiday Collection and wanted to share with you all. I picked up the Temptress Lip Set in Deep Wine (03) ($14.00) which comes with a lipstick and lip liner and the Double Glam Eyeliner in Black/Teal (115) ($11.00). Kiko Temptress Lip Set – Deep Wine

Today I bring you a review of OZ Naturals Matrix 6 Mega Bright Eye Gel ($19.95). I shall never tire talking about my eye bags until I go get them filled with something. Until then, I will forever search for a topical solution! Our highly effective eye gel formula is packed with ingredients that deliver including Haloxyl for dark circles,…

The Boogie jumps to me… Boogie Down Bronx, The Boogie Man, Boogie Nights, Boogie Woogie! Ok, I’ll stop… but man do I love this new lippie stix from ColourPop in the shade Boogie! From the color purple (teehee) to the sparkles in it, it’s absolutely gorgeous! And it’s really comfortable to wear! I reckon this is a new formula, Satin Luxe, and I…

I have been wanting to try the OGX Quenched Sea Mineral Moisture line since I saw it in Vogue maybe 3 issues back. I finally decided to pick up the Quenched Sea Mineral Moisture Shampoo and the Moisture Surge Deep Treatment.

I suppose it’s time to give an update on my natural hair! Long ago, I used to relax my hair every 5-6 weeks. As a result, my hair became very thin and growth was stagnant. The last time I shared a hair update, I was explaining how I was doing the greenhouse effect again because of a mishap with a…

This is one bad ass sheet mask… In my defense, it’s in Korean so I really had no idea it was called “Ultra Whitening” until I looked it up. Still, anyone who is familiar with sheet masks knows that their effects last a day or less. Again, I’m not trying to whiten my skin but I do like it brighter.…

To jump right in, the Skinfood Lemon Brightening Morning Cleanser has proven one valuable lesson: everything that glitters ain’t gold. When I saw “lemon” in this cleanser, I jumped on it because my skin normally responds well to skin care with lemon in it. Well, this one was curious to me. I tried and tried to convince myself that this…

Tis the season! And with that season comes so many holiday and limited edition goodies I’ve been lusting after.

On a somewhat recent trip to Sephora, I came across a beautiful nail polish from Nails Inc called Primrose Hill Lane ($15.00). It was attractive to me not only for the gorgeous color, but also for the gel effect the polish claims to have. Of course it was sold out in store, and also on their website, but I managed to…

I hope I’m not late to the party, but if I am, it’s totally new to me! I can’t even remember what I was trolling for — I think cucumber sheet masks — when I happened upon Forever 21’s beauty section. I raised an eyebrow when I saw Holika Holika and Peripera amongst the products! Courtesy of Forever21.com

My skin is in awful shape right now. And of course that happens just when I start to feel good about it (side eye). I had a major breakout roughly a week ago, and it wasn’t acne. I’m not sure what it was; the dermatologist says some kind of contact dermatitis which makes sense (I guess) because I have been…

I recently congratulated myself on my very first Guerlain purchase. The brand creates so many crazy-tempting products but the one that got me to just go for it was the Maxi Velvet Matte Liquid Lipstick ($30.00) from the Winter Fairytale Collection called Fleur de Givre (M72). It first came to my attention from Temptalia (as most things do) and I went on the…

Retinol has been around for ages. For me, it’s been a very mysterious substance. I feel like every time I go get a beauty service, I see signs everywhere warning me to let my esthetician know if I have used any retinols. I have always wondered why exactly that even matters. Well, Retinol, in short, is a form of Vitamin…

I picked up the Barry M Matte Me Up Lip Crayon at Boots (I think was was 3 or 4 pounds) while I was in London. I’m a huge fan of lip crayons for the simple fact that you don’t need a mirror to apply them! I just treat them as I do a lip balm and it turns out…

When it comes to comfort and liquid lipsticks, Stila’s Stay All Day formula is the most comfortable. I have previously reviewed the colors Bella and Venizia, and now I bring to you, Beso: a sexy, hot fire red that’s appropriate for every day wear. Bella and Venezia were super bright, and I felt wearing them to work was a bit…

I recently came back from a solo birthday trip to London. It was my first time there, and actually in England, period. Shopping in London is magnificent. I mean out of this world amazing! But expensive… one sterling pound, or quid as they like to call it, was $1.77! I pretty much had to think of it like twice as…

I immediately lusted after Kevyn Aucoin’s The Contour Book Volume II: Art of Sculpting + Defining Palette ($65.00) when I saw it. I’ve just come back from a work trip to San Diego, my original stomping ground, and I’m off to London tomorrow. I’m doing this thing called “I hate checking bags, so let me make flying as efficient as possible” so I…
