I nearly broke my makeup no-buy wandering in to KIKO. I did have a look at their fall collection, Midnight Siren. I was most impressed by their Moon Shadow Water Infused Eyeshadow ($9.00). There are five or six colors and I was mostly drawn to Attractive Plum (3) and Glistening Turquoise (4). Moon Shadow Water Infused Eyeshadow: Glistening Turquoise and…

This look has been in my queue for a month and I thought today, with the weather all cold, rainy, and gloomy, was a good day to post it. And to think, when it was 90 degrees and humid I let “I’m ready for fall” come out of my mouth. Smh. Bring back the sunshine!

I really don’t think I would be sticking my foot in my mouth by saying the Sephora Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer has been the best beauty-related purchase I’ve made all year. Likely the best $14.00 I’ve ever spent! 🙂 I will let the photos do the talking but I wanted to cover the basics quickly. I purchased the concealer…

Dior has relaunched their Dior Addict Lipsticks ($35.00) for the fall and guess, what? I really, really like them, which surprises me because they are semi-sheer. I generally don’t waste my time (or money) on products that aren’t fully opaque (just a personal preference) but this lipstick is so classy-looking, super moisturizing, and totally buildable! It lasts on me until…

I have been holding off on reviewing the Holika Holika Soda Pore Cleansing BB Deep Cleansing Oil for some time now, really because I have been trying to find a place for it in my skincare regimen. To start, I have pretty oily skin, with my t-zone being the most oily. This subsides a bit during the winter months, but…

ColourPop Cosmetics is a brand that’s here to stay. They continue to please me over and over again. Though I haven’t loved every single product I have tried from the brand, the amount of products I have loved has overshadowed those I haven’t. The ColourPop Blush in Sticky Sweet ($8.00) is no exception here. What’s best, is that it doubles…

Today officially marks the beginning of my one month makeup no-buy! It’s going to be hard but I can do it! I’ll just have to busy myself with other things… but on to the ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip in Solow ($6.00). On a good day, this lippie works for me. The key is not to be lazy about it. This one…

As I am in the market for a new concealer, I decided to try out the new one I have spotted at Sephora over the past couple of weeks: it’s the Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer ($14.00). I have been wanting to try the Nars one, but decided to test this one out since the name of it is so fancy (haha).…

Dior has recently released an entire new line of Dior Addict Lipsticks for fall. Unfortunately, they haven’t made it into my Sephora yet. That didn’t stop me from seeing what all the fuss was about, assuming the formula will be the same with the new line! Dior Addict Lipsticks, Shown: Dior Kiss (578)

Now this mask was a surprise. I thought it was hydrogel, but apparently… skin gel is not hydrogel. It’s some cotton-gel hybrid alien skin. Kidding about the alien part, obviously. That said, this mask had some pros and it had some cons. And at the end of the day, the Ostia Snail Jade Pure Essence Skin Gel Mask ($4.99) was…

This review of the Sephora Colorful Shadow Liner & Pencil ($14.00) in Purple (15) will be very similar to the one in Dark Taupe Shimmer, with two differences: the finish and longevity. Sephora Colorful Shadow Liner & Pencil – Purple

Happy Labor Day! It’s quite appropriate to talk about ColourPop Ultra Matte Lipstick in Mars because it has been very laborious to get this lipstick to work for me. Eventually, I gave up on it. Which is a shame because the color is fantastic. You will see from the lip swatches how terrible this experience was for me. It reminded…

This morning I jolted out of bed with memories of the previous day when a colleague of mine pointed out a difference in the appearance of my skin… Not anything bad, just a difference. It instantly reminded me of how my skin hasn’t been the same since that massive forehead sunburn. I remembered how much I liked the last Lemon…

I was able to pick up the Topshop Chameleon highlighter in Mother of Pearl while I was in NYC. I’ve tried my best to capture this highlighter but it’s pretty hard to photograph for some reason. This is ironic because it certainly does sparkle. I reckon it’s time I got my camera game up lol. Topshop Chameleon Highlighter in Mother…

I love bubble baths. I mean I really, really love bubble baths. It can be 90 degrees out, and if I’m in the mood for a bath I’ll have one. Other than Lush’s bath bombs and bubble bars, I really haven’t found anything that actually produces long-lasting bubbles that make me feel like a pretty princess. Photo: www.tOrange.us

Ok, can we talk about Make Up For Ever’s Artist Shadow ($21.00)? On my recent trip to NYC, I was pleased… super excited is a more acccurate description… to find that the Sephora in Soho has a Make Up For Ever STORE inside it! I had been seeing two eyeshadow colors on display for the past few weeks. Every time…
