Retinol is one of those products that need long-term use in order to see the effects of its use (for me anyway). No exception will be made here with the Valentia Night Revive Retinol Serum ($35.00).

I love a good lip stain. Whatever is on my lips, I want it to last all day. The J. Cat Beauty Liptitude 24/7 Hydrating Lip Stains ($5.99) certainly do not last all day, but they do leave behind a beautiful stain so that if you want, you can still appear as if you have color on your lips. In…

This moisturizer is great. Can you tell I like it? Sometimes it’s hard to rate a moisturizer, especially if it doesn’t have any multitasking properties. The Erborian Bamboo Creme Frappee ($43.00) is just a moisturizer that moisturizes your skin. Nothing more, nothing less. I like that the brand doesn’t claim that it does some out-of-this-world thing like make wrinkles disappear.…

So I am sitting here on All Hallows Eve, surfing Netflix for horror movies worth my time (that’s my favorite genre) and I realize that there aren’t very many. The one’s that are worth it, I have already watched… years ago! That has absolutely nothing to do with this post besides that fact that I am watching/listening to a really…

The ColourPop Zingara Quad ($18.00) is part of the beautiful fall collection ColourPop recently released. Now that I have had time to bask in its glory, it’s time for a report. I initially wanted Seeker, Elixir, and Paradox, but saw that as a set, I could get the beautiful Jinxie at a discount so I just went ahead and purchased…

I was in New Orleans for an entire week when this sweet precious bundle of joy arrived at my house. I finally had a chance to get some swatches of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Makeup by Mario Master Palette ($45.00) going this past weekend. First impressions: At first swatch, I noticed immediately how powdery these were… as in there was…

The IPKN Calendula Massage Cleansing Cream is a product I wanted to love so bad, but just couldn’t. I got this in a Hautelook flash sale long ago, along with a gel eyeliner from the brand, and was attracted to the claims it made and all of the natural ingredients. Just look at that: celery, broccoli, carrot, tomato… all the…

ColourPop Cami ($5.00) is part of the lippie stix Matte X formula. I purchased it a while back as a filler for free shipping and with time I ended up liking it more than I did when I first got it. The Matte X formula is super pigmented but still Matte; it’s quite unique in formula.
