I am guilty of turning my nose up at non-Asian-branded sheet masks but listen, I have come around! The Sephora Watermelon After-Sun Mask is actually one of my favorite masks and I have repurchased it many times. It’s a mask that I wish was sold by the box! It’s a bio-cellulose mask that comes in two pieces: a mask for your…

The Pat McGrath Mini MatteTrance Skin Show Trio is/was a limited edition release at Sephora a month or so ago; I’m not sure if they will bring these back, but I wanted to say a few words about them anyway, in case they do. The Skin Show Trio includes three mini versions of her MatteTrance lipsticks in 1995, Flesh 3,…

Will fall in full motion, now is the perfect time to have another look at the Bite Beauty Spice Things Up Collection. I was enthralled with the collection when it first came out and went to Sephora to see what I can see. I ordered Crushed Chili right away, which I’ve already reviewed and went back sporadically to check out…

I always carry low expectations when it comes to eyeliner because of my oily lids. I picked up the Fenty Beauty Flyliner in the only shade currently offered, Cuz I’m Black when I purchased the Moroccan Spice Palette. There are only a few eyeliners that have been impressive enough for me to rebuy. My HG eyeliner is Clinique’s Pretty Easy…

I swear 2018 might be the year of glitter. I’ve never been a huge fan of glitter because of the nature of it getting everywhere, but brands have found a way to make it more sophisticated which in turn made me want to use it more. When the Hourglass Scattered Light Glitter Shadows dropped, I was instantly curious as to…

Way back when, when I picked up the Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Concealer, I kept seeing references and comparisons to the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer and my interest in it peaked even more. I had been meaning to pick it up for the longest, and finally one day I did. I went with the shade Hazelnut so that I may…

Not reviewing this palette because it doesn’t belong to me, but I did want to share a look, what it looks like, and talk about the formula a bit. It’s thankfully more like Modern Renaissance in that the powders are very pigmented and “sensitive” in that you may experience a bit of fallout, and I find I need to spend…

Although I passed on Fenty’s first Galaxy Palette, when Moroccan Spice came out it just spoke so many things to me! I knew I had to have it! I have been playing in this palette since it came out and just got around to reviewing it. Even though everyone has seen and knows about it now, I still think it’s…

I wasn’t completely sure what I was getting myself into with the Essence Pure Nude Highlighters. I had been drawn to holographic, light-catching highlighters over the summer so I picked up the shades Spacelighter, a “light reflecting rose” and Cosmolighter, a green light reflecting shade.

I never thought that I could wear a brow gel! A couple months back, Milk Makeup released more Kush in our faces with their Kush Fiber Brow Gel. As a fan of the Kush Mascara, I was keen on trying the brow gel, mainly because I was curious about the fibers and how that would work on sparse brows. Well,…

The Make Up For Ever Underpainting Color Correction Palette quickly caught my eye as soon as it came out. This palette was giving me Pro Sculpting Palette vibes but the sales rep in Sephora assured me that this one is different from that one which I have and really like. This one is more matte and is definitely for color-correcting.…

Weightless and sexy are two words that come to mind when I am wearing the Givenchy Le Rouge Mat lipstick in the shade Rouge Stiletto. I used 100 of my Sephora points to pick this baby up and I am so glad I did because I am very impressed with the formula and the red is so vibrant and pretty.

So I have many nail polishes in a shade that looks like this but something about Dior’s Vernis Gel Shine & Long Wear Nail Lacquer in Rouge en Diable called out my name and seduced my beauty senses! This shade is limited edition and with Dior, I know how serious people are about that, so I hopped on this one…

So we need to talk about ColourPop’s complexion products. I had pretty high expectations for them, as ColourPop has rightfully earned that reputation. I purchased the No Filter Concealer in Dark (48), two of the foundations, and two setting powders in the shades Banana and Deep Dark. When you spent $40, ColourPop threw in a free foundation brush.

I have been playing around with the Supergoop 100% Mineral Invincible Setting Powder with SPF45 since the beginning of summer, and I am ready to share my thoughts on it. I bought the powder in the deepest shade (Deep and sometimes referred to as Medium/deep).

I mostly ignored Drunk Elephant’s Anti Pollution Sunshine Serum when it first came out because I didn’t think it was for me. Then I got to thinking: it’s bronze; I’m basically bronze. It’s only going to complement my skin, right? Right I was. Also, I have been on the search for a tinted moisturizer for my skin tone for forever…

I don’t always indulge in Sephora Favorites Kits but the Selfie Kit seemed so practical to me, I just had to try it out. Plus, I could already speak for the wonderfulness that is the Tarte Double Duty Eyeliner. The problem? This is a kit that sells out almost as soon as Sephora releases it! Hopefully, this review of the…

Ulta is having a pretty fabulous sale on their website. Up to 50% off beauty goodies, and not just lame stuff they can’t sell. 40% off the already nicely priced Real Techniques brand is drool-worthy; 50% off Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer, something I have been wanting to try for a while; 40% off L.A.Girl (I love their concealers). In…

I first encountered the Lorac Illuminating Light Source Primer as part of a set I bought over the holidays. From the moment I put it on my face, I knew this was going to change the way I do my makeup. I often skip primer, especially in the winter, but this primer makes me want to use it all the…
