• Schwarzkopf Blond Me Toner – Ice (Plus some Fried Hair)

    Schwarzkopf Blond Me Toner – Ice (Plus some Fried Hair)

    I had this great idea that I wanted to stay blonde all summer and maybe into the fall. The blonde synthetic wig (Evlyn) I’ve been wearing is on its last leg; I have already had to cut the ends off because it got all rough and started aggravating my skin. Now those ends are getting rough and it’s just time…

    The Enchanted Garden of Chloris

    The Enchanted Garden of Chloris

    Today’s post is inspired by Chloris, nymph of the Islands of the Blessed, keeper and somewhat of a goddess of the flowers.  This look was achieved with ColourPop Creme Gel Liner No Shame and Mac Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick Dance With Me. Generally, I find the safest way to use purple liner is on the lower lash line, but I…

    ColourPop Creme Gel Liners | Piggy Bank | No Shame | Swerve

    The thing I like most about ColourPop is that they show that you don’t need to charge a ton of money for good, quality products. No brand is perfect, and I have certainly had some not-so-perfect run-ins with some of their Lippie Stix, but I have had way more good experiences with the brand than bad. Lately, I notice that…

    Innisfree The Green Tea Seed Serum | Review

    I haven’t had much luck with Innisfree products; none that I have used thus far have ever wowed me. I think my luck has changed, though. I received the Green Tea Seed Serum as part of a care package from my sister who lives in South Korea. My first impression of the serum was one of hesitance. It’s quite fragranced…

    Smashbox Always On Matte Lip – Stepping Out (Deep Nude)

    The Smashbox Always On Matte Lip ($24.00) has been out for some time now. I went into Sephora for something totally not this and walked out with this nude lip in Stepping Out and two other nude lippies, Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Molasses and Bite Beauty Glace.  See 10 nude lipsticks for dark skin That was a surprise because when I…

    Giovanni Avocado & Olive Oil Leave-In Spray

    I fell in love with Giovanni when I tried their Smooth as Silk Leave-In Conditioner. What took me so long to try other products in their brand?! I was trolling around in Marshalls when I came across the Giovanni Avocado & Olive Oil Leave-In Spray (4 fl oz) for dry, damaged hair.  My hair is definitely dry and it’s almost…

    ColourPop Ultra Metallic Lip | Zebra & 3-Way

    The ColourPop Ultra Metallic Lipsticks ($6.00) were a completely impulsive buy for me. I happened to be scrolling through instagram and saw this huge PSA from their account and everyone else’s about these and got overwhelmingly excited. When I received and tried these I was surprisingly underwhelmed. A lot of people will and do love these but I am just…

    Bare Minerals Blemish Ready Foundation Review

    Bare Minerals Blemish Ready Foundation Review

    The Bare Minerals Blemish Ready Foundation ($28.00) seemed like it was a great choice for me. I still have acne-prone skin that happens to love salicylic acid… I thought this would be a great alternative to those days where I don’t want to wear a full-coverage foundation. The idea of this foundation got me excited about wearing “next to no” foundation. Plus, the color Clearly…

    Lancome Glow Subtil Silky Creme Highlighters | Swatches

    Lancome Glow Subtil Silky Creme Highlighters | Swatches

    The Lancome Glow Subtil Highlighters are very pretty; and yes, as everyone says, they are identical to CoulourPop in formula (cream based) and packaging. The difference would be the cost, $30.00 for Glow Subtil compared to $8.00 ColourPop highlighters, and the colors. I wish I had more ColourPop highlighters to compare, but I’ve had a look and I feel like…

    ColourPop X Jenn Im Super Shock Shadows Un, Deux, Trois, Quatre | Jenn …

    What a long overdue post! If you follow me on Instagram, you have already seen what these shadows look like on me and you already know how beautifully wearable they are. Prior to the collaboration, I had not heard of Jenn Im, nor had I participated in any of the other collaboration purchases; they just didn’t speak to me. These…
