The lust I had for the Nars Unfiltered I Palette ($59.00) was so real. When it became available over the Sephora VIB sale, I was like, yessssssssss must have it. But then it sold out and my life abruptly ended. Well, maybe not that serious but I was pretty bummed out about it. And then, behold! It came back around…

I decided to grab YSL’s Chinese New Year Blush palette because I had nothing to lose (except $47.00) and I need all the luck I can get for 2017! The packaging is what really drew me in. I really love the red clashing nicely against the gold. The palette is made of a combination of some lightweight metal, which I…

I have had the Makeup Revolution Baked Blusher in All I Think About Is You ($5.00) in my stash for some time. I’m not the biggest blush fan because, well, with my skin tone, most of the colors look the same on me. For this reason, if I buy blush, it needs to be seriously pigmented like the Nars blushes…

I picked up Avalon ($8.00), a true golden bronze highlighter, and Cheerio ($8.00), a deep cranberry, satin finish blush from ColourPop a while back and now it’s time for swatches and a review. Also, stay tuned to a FOTD using these two.

Say it ain’t so! When I first came across ColourPop Swift, I wasn’t so sure about it. I didn’t think it was something that could be useful for my skin tone, but decided to go ahead with the $8.00 purchase. The blush is pretty creamy and exceeded my expectations, in terms of color.

Sleek Makeup Creme to Powder Blush in Pink Peony is a bright, hot pink blush offering ” intense colour with a dewy, satin finish.” I have been using this blush in heavy rotation for months because of its awesome pigmentation and buildable ease. After using the same blush in the color Gerbera, I knew I had to have other colors of…

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…

ColourPop Cosmetics is a brand that’s here to stay. They continue to please me over and over again. Though I haven’t loved every single product I have tried from the brand, the amount of products I have loved has overshadowed those I haven’t. The ColourPop Blush in Sticky Sweet ($8.00) is no exception here. What’s best, is that it doubles…

I was able to pick up the Topshop Chameleon highlighter in Mother of Pearl while I was in NYC. I’ve tried my best to capture this highlighter but it’s pretty hard to photograph for some reason. This is ironic because it certainly does sparkle. I reckon it’s time I got my camera game up lol. Topshop Chameleon Highlighter in Mother…

You know the feeling you get after a night of dancing and sweating that by the time you get home, you just know your makeup looks a hot mess and has probably melted off your face? I often feel like that when I go out, in part to my oily skin and also because of the humidity this time of…

Angela from Beauty and the Cat brought this cute little collection to my attention so I asked her to tag-team this one with me. Funny story is that I was actually in Miami at the Lincoln Road Mall location when I picked these up. The collection wasn’t available at the store near my house when I first heard about it so…

I recently purchased a couple items from the Sleek Makeup website; long overdue as this is my first Sleek Makeup purchase! The first item I picked up was the Creme to Powder Blush in Gerbera ($8.99). Now this photo on the box has some color issues! I definitely took these photos in natural sunlight, so not sure why the camera has the color…

Blushes kind of piss me off. I never want to spend money on them because they all turn out looking the same (to me) on my skin tone. I usually do not purchase any other blush besides Nars, just because I’m stubborn and they are so pigmented, but as a product junkie, sometimes my curiosity takes over and I am…

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…

Cargo Mendocino Blush How many of you can say that you have reached pan on ANYTHING??? Well I’m joining the club with Cargo Cosmetics Blush in Mendocino (AL-$26)! I have had this blush for at LEAST 2 years. Being a product junkie, it had never really been my go-to blush until this spring/summer. I received the blush in a Birchbox back…
