You guys… I really love my Dior Addict lipstick. So when I heard they were coming out with lip lacquers, I kept my eyes and ears open. I haven’t tried them yet but I did have a chance to swatch them. Lay your eyes on these beauties! I chose Indie Rose, a strawberry pink, and Sulfurous, a sexy red with…

I got my order from The Ordinary way sooner than I thought I would, which made me very happy. I posted about new items from the Ordinary a little while ago, and when some of them came in stock, I picked them up immediately. I settled on the Alpha Lipoic Acid 5%, 100% Plant-Derived Squalane, Advanced Retinoid 2%, and the…

I’m probably the only person I know that still likes animal milk. Yeah, that organic whole milk. Delicious. I’ve never had milk from a donkey, nor do I plan on it. But I will put it on my face. 😎 I had good experiences with Soo AE Freeset Donkey Milk Skin Gel Mask Packs and recommend them.

Who doesn’t love a good taupe? After brown, for me it’s the perfect shade of shadow. I purchased Mally Beauty Shadow Stick in Over the Taupe some time last year, thinking it was the one I had seen her demonstrate on QVC. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t (I think it was though). I remember it being so sparkly and pretty. Of course, that’s…

Top Row: Blackened Black Clay, Blackened Blue Clay, Blackened Brown Clay Bottom: Metallik Platinum, Metallik Pewter, Metallik Rust Side: Air-lite Setting Powder

The amount of products I have in my blog folder to review is in the triple digits. While I dread writing about lackluster products (and this one is scathing), I feel like it’s just as necessary as writing about products I love. Now while everyone’s skin is different, and when it comes to skincare a lot of it is YMMV,…

The 23 Years Old Masks are likely the weirdest masks I have tried. I think I feel more creepy in these than the Daiso Silicone mask. I bought these because they were fancy-looking and fancy-sounding. They were on the expensive side for a sheet mask at $5 a pop (I bought them in NYC), but the packaging totally drew me…

Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution ($49.50) was an impulse buy. I picked it up on my trip to England in November, and it’s had a hand in clearing up my acne scars. I had such a great experience in the store in Nottingham, but I left skeptical of the effects it would have; this isn’t my first time at…

As my second makeup sponge, I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with the Real Techniques Miracle Diamond Sponge ($9.99). The only other makeup sponge I tried was an off-brand sponge I picked up at Marshall’s. It was awful. Just awful. One of the reasons I hated the off-brand one was because I could apply the makeup with my fingers…

The lust I had for the Nars Unfiltered I Palette ($59.00) was so real. When it became available over the Sephora VIB sale, I was like, yessssssssss must have it. But then it sold out and my life abruptly ended. Well, maybe not that serious but I was pretty bummed out about it. And then, behold! It came back around…
