Nails Inc. Primrose Hill Gel Effect Nail Polish Review
On a somewhat recent trip to Sephora, I came across a beautiful nail polish from Nails Inc called Primrose Hill Lane ($15.00). It was attractive to me not only for the gorgeous color, but also for the gel effect the polish claims to have. Of course it was sold out in store, and also on their website, but I managed to…

Forever 21 Now Sells K-Beauty!
I hope I’m not late to the party, but if I am, it’s totally new to me! I can’t even remember what I was trolling for — I think cucumber sheet masks — when I happened upon Forever 21’s beauty section. I raised an eyebrow when I saw Holika Holika and Peripera amongst the products! Courtesy of Forever21.com

Calm Down Skin! Aritaum Fresh Essence Mugwort Sheet Mask Review
My skin is in awful shape right now. And of course that happens just when I start to feel good about it (side eye). I had a major breakout roughly a week ago, and it wasn’t acne. I’m not sure what it was; the dermatologist says some kind of contact dermatitis which makes sense (I guess) because I have been…

Guerlain Maxi Velvet Matte Liquid Lipstick – Fleur de Givre (Winter Fairytale Collection)
I recently congratulated myself on my very first Guerlain purchase.

Let’s Talk About Retinol! | OZ Naturals 2.5% Retinol Serum with Astaxanthin Review
Retinol has been around for ages. For me, it’s been a very mysterious substance. I feel like every time I go get a beauty service, I see signs everywhere warning me to let my esthetician know if I have used any retinols. I have always wondered why exactly that even matters. Well, Retinol, in short, is a form of Vitamin…

Barry M Matte Me Up Lip Crayon – Dress Rehearsal | Photos | Swatches | Review
I picked up the Barry M Matte Me Up Lip Crayon at Boots (I think was was 3 or 4 pounds) while I was in London. I’m a huge fan of lip crayons for the simple fact that you don’t need a mirror to apply them! I just treat them as I do a lip balm and it turns out…

Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick Beso
When it comes to comfort and liquid lipsticks, Stila’s Stay All Day formula is the most comfortable. I have previously reviewed the colors Bella and Venizia, and now I bring to you, Beso: a sexy, hot fire red that’s appropriate for every day wear. Bella and Venezia were super bright, and I felt wearing them to work was a bit…

Makeup Goodies I Picked Up in London
I recently came back from a solo birthday trip to London. It was my first time there, and actually in England, period. Shopping in London is magnificent. I mean out of this world amazing! But expensive… one sterling pound, or quid as they like to call it, was $1.77! I pretty much had to think of it like twice as…

Kevyn Aucoin The Contour Book Volume II: Art of Sculpting + Defining Palette | …
I immediately lusted after Kevyn Aucoin’s The Contour Book Volume II: Art of Sculpting + Defining Palette ($65.00) when I saw it. I’ve just come back from a work trip to San Diego, my original stomping ground, and I’m off to London tomorrow. I’m doing this thing called “I hate checking bags, so let me make flying as efficient as possible” so I…
