While a lot of retail stores have discontinued that product, it is still on Becca’s website. So hopefully they will keep it on. This product is also great, especially for covering scars!

Nars Soft Matte Concealer in Cafe: A Photo Tutorial and Review

I’ve been working with the Nars Soft Matte Concealer ($30.00) for a while now and I have some pretty positive thoughts on it!

Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer (Shade 15) Review

Kevyn Aucoin’s Sensual Skin Enhancer ($48.00) was a total surprise for me. My local Sephora recently put a section of the brand’s products in its store and I went a-swatching.
