Back to Basics: Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque

Back to Basics: Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque

Every month, without fail my body goes through hormonal changes and my skin will start to break out. Ladies, I’m sure you know what I am talking about. I try to pay close attention to my skin around this time before I get actual pimples. Since I have super oily skin, I usually apply some kind of mask, or make…

Holiday Wish List 2014

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…! And the most stressful! As the year was winding down, I kept getting the question, what do you want for Christmas, and at work, we did Secret Santa and I had to figure out some items that I wanted. This was the first year where I initially thought, meh… there’s nothing I…

Kat Von D. Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Bauhau5- Deep Rasberry

Kat Von D. Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Bauhau5- Deep Rasberry

I want these in every color. I’m putting two more into my cart as we speak… The Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick is superior to all others! I love it, I love it, I love it! Have I mentioned that I love it? A lot of people stay away from liquid lipstick because it’s drying and when it starts…

Topshop Lips in Mink Lipstick

Topshop Lips in Mink Lipstick

So far, I am very pleased with Topshop’s cosmetics line. I was looking for a new nude lip product and Topshop’s Lips in Mink ($12.00) does the trick for me. For me, this is a true nude. I usually apply lip balm before I put anything on my lips, but I tried this lipstick with and without lip balm and it…

TONYMOLY Crystal Lovely Eyes Eyeliner

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all??… so I finally tried out the double-ended Tony Moly Crystal Lovely Eyes Eyeliner I bought from the haul in Annandale. I don’t know what took me so long to try this out. I reckon my wardrobe doesn’t really include items that would go well with this eyeliner. I don’t…

Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner Mat Black (13)

Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner Mat Black (13)

I have a love-hate relationship with this Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner. I purchased this one a while back in Mat Black ($23.00). I thought I would totally fall in love with the felt-like tip of the eyeliner pen. Overall, I don’t find myself loving this product until it has dried on my lid.

Frutique Papaya Enzyme Exfoliating Gel Review

Frutique Papaya Enzyme Exfoliating Gel Review

Happy Friday! I think after a day of overindulgence, something to make yourself feel much better, less guilty, and refreshed would be a good exfoliatin’! Ardell Frutique’s Papaya Enzyme Exfoliating Gel (~$15.00) has been a part of my skincare regimen for a little over a year. The first time I used it, I thought wow, my face feels so smooth!

Clinique Almost Lipstick- Black Honey

Clinique Almost Lipstick- Black Honey

I recently received this as a sample. I had no idea that this product had been out for quite some time. Nevertheless, I like it. I’m not in love with it—but I like it. It seems that it only comes in one color: Black Honey. This product is described as follows: Not quite lipstick, not quite lip gloss but works…

Nars Almeria Limited Edition Blush Review

Nars Almeria Limited Edition Blush Review

Nars Almeria Blush ($30) is described as tan-rose and it is spot on. It’s very much buildable and easy to apply. That said, this is my new go-to blush for the remainder of fall and all of winter! When I first started applying it, I thought, well this is barely even going on, but then I realized how buildable it…
