Angela from Beauty and the Cat brought this cute little collection to my attention so I asked her to tag-team this one with me. Funny story is that I was actually in Miami at the Lincoln Road Mall location when I picked these up. The collection wasn’t available at the store near my house when I first heard about it so…

This blue baby, the Marcelle Waterproof Eyeliner in Electric Blue ($11.00), came to me courtesy of Angela over at beautyandthecat.com. From looking over the products on their site, the brand Marcelle reminded me a lot of the Italian brand, Kiko. The brand description of the eyeliner: For impeccably lined eyes anywhere, anytime! Perfectly blendable, its creamy formula allows for a…

I recently purchased a couple items from the Sleek Makeup website; long overdue as this is my first Sleek Makeup purchase! The first item I picked up was the Creme to Powder Blush in Gerbera ($8.99). Now this photo on the box has some color issues! I definitely took these photos in natural sunlight, so not sure why the camera has the color…

Don’t you just love when things work surprisingly well? Like better than you thought? While this is rare, it’s happened to me with this sunscreen. The only other time I can remember this happening to me is with my Mizon Multi Function Snail Repair Eye Cream. As a sunscreen noob, I did a good amount of research before I settled…

Eyes To Mesmerise Cream Eye Shadow in Mona Lisa is described as a clever cream-to-sheen formula in a wisteria-chocolate bronze. It was designed to recreate the soft-focused smokey stare of da Vinci’s leading lady; hence the name Mona Lisa. Why you’ll love it: • The revolutionary water-infused formula has a cooling effect on hard-working eyes • Easy glide-on formula won’t drag…

I like to use KIKO’s Velvet Mat Satin Lipstick in Strawberry Pink (612) for those days when I want a light an airy look, dressed down and somewhat casual, especially for work. KIKO Velvet Mat Satin Lipstick

I have just recently finished my second small bottle (can?) of the Missha First Treatment Essence Mist. My first impression of the product was, this is just water. I felt like a dummy spraying my face. But alas! I am a convert! I have just noticed a difference in the overall look of my skin and I like it! I’m…

KIKO Super Colour Eyeliner in Blue Majorelle is described as a “water resistant colour liquid eyeliner” and the color on me is a very bright true blue. The color is applied using a thin, felt tip brush to customize your liner. KIKO says: Its water and polymer based formula creates a film of extra-brilliant no-transfer colour with great coverage. The…

I am really digging the Make Up For Ever Aqua Matic Eyeshadow Pencil in Metallic Golden Taupe. The color is gorgeous, the longevity is pretty awesome, and application is pretty easy. Make Up For Ever Aqua Matic: Metallic Golden Taupe

Lorac’s Alter Ego Lipstick ($16.00)is described as a highly-pigmented matte lipstick, so it was only natural that I picked up the color Goddess, a mauve-ish color. I also like the idea of lipstick claiming to improve the health of your lips, although there would be no real way of me knowing if it were true unless I wore it every day.…

Guest post time! What’s better than experimenting and playing with makeup and beauty products? When you find someone just as into it as you! I recently had the pleasure of co-starring in a guest post over at beautyandthecat.com. This time, we reviewed Shu Uemura’s Tint in Gelato Lip and Cheek Color in Sugar Plum and Puffy Chocolate! Head on over to…

Since I am upping my sunscreen game and am essentially a sunscreen virgin, I wanted to find something that was easy and effective. On a sunscreen-specific trip to Sephora, I picked up the Supergoop! Defense Refresh Setting Mist ($28.00). It’s described as a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50 PA+++. It claims to be a matte finish three-in-one: sets makeup,…

You know when you stop using something (because you’re a product junkie) and the next time you reach for it you ask yourself, “Why did I ever stop using that?“ Can’t just be me. I have this relationship with every Silicon Mix product I have ever used. Silicon Mix is a Dominican hair product and is very effective on naturally…

I have been really into blue eyeliner and shadows lately. For some reason, I am under the impression that I don’t have enough (hehe). I have also been really into long-lasting makeup that doesn’t move for the whole day since… well, forever! After lusting after Lancome’s French Riviera Summer Collection, YSL and Dior blue shadow sticks, I had an epiphany:…

Blushes kind of piss me off. I never want to spend money on them because they all turn out looking the same (to me) on my skin tone. I usually do not purchase any other blush besides Nars, just because I’m stubborn and they are so pigmented, but as a product junkie, sometimes my curiosity takes over and I am…

When I first saw this Water Eyeshadow in Dark Slate Green (213) ($11.00) at the new Kiko store near my house, I was instantly drawn to it. I am totally a visual person and the textures and design of this eyeshadow compact really was a no-brainer for me. There were a ton of other colors, but this beautiful, deep green…
