The cherry blossoms near my house, gone in April A constant in makeup This shouldn’t come as a surprise, but I am loving my Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion Foundation. I am used to full coverage foundation such as Make Up For Ever’s Mat Velvet+, but the Armani foundation has been giving me life since I bought it. I…

Happy Sunday Funday! Here is another one of ColourPop’s Lippie Pencils in Pepper ($5.00). This one reminded me of their Lippie Pencil in Monkey and performed similar to it. It is described as a pastel pinky lilac, which I would say is quite accurate. I didn’t find it that flattering on me, although I did receive a compliment on it. I…

More lippie pencils from ColourPop! This may be my last batch for a while! Have a look at swatches! Julep: Bright red coral, perfect for getting down and dirty in the infield or classing it up in “Millionaires Row”. Rocket: Soft bright pinky coral pencil. Frida: A warm mid tone nude pink, “for the woman fueled by a substantial amount of coffee.” ColourPop…

Oh you fancy, huh? Oh you fancy, huh? Nails done, hair done, everything did… nails done, hair done everything did… This here is the Colourpop Lippie Pencil in Fancy. In case you missed it, I did not like the formula of the Lippie Stix. But the Lippie Pencils perform much better in my opinion and last a helluva lot longer. …

Hey ya’ll. Today, I bring to you a Lippie Pencil from ColourPop in I Heart This ($5.00). There’s actually a heart in the place of the word “heart”, but my blog acts like it doesn’t know what <3 means…! I ventured to the lippie pencils because they do not contain synthetic wax. I like their eyeshadows enough to buy more…

I’ve been curious about Topshop’s Matte Lip Bullets for a while. I finally pulled the trigger and got these in Could This Be Love and Heartbeat. Richly pigmented self-sharpening precision lipstick with a satiny finish. Twist up format for precise application. Wear alone or with lipliner for an intense colour finish. For best results gently buff and moisturize lips before…

So I know I am super late here to jump on the 24/7 bandwagon, but this eyeliner is amazing! I think it actually rivals my Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner! So I have been really wanting to have a purple eyeliner for some reason. I am a little bit bored with the classic black eyeliner that I usually do.…

So I just wanted to post a quick review on the BITE Beauty Luminous Crème Lipstick Duo in Violet/Palomino. I recently posted a review on the tangerine/ligonberry lipstick duo and compared it to the violet/palomino, and realized I hadn’t even posted the dang review! So here it goes! The best thing about this lipstick is that it’s moisturizing and the price…

Good morning to ya! I just wanted to let you all know how Rimmel Provocalips in Heart Breaker performed. After practicing with Make Your Move, Heart Breaker seemed easier to apply.

Da da da da-daaaa… I’m lovin’ it! That is, the Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick Duo in Tangerine/Lingonberry ($12). I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t think I would like these that much because the last time I bought a Bite Beauty Lipstick Duo there was so much feathering. These performed so much differently. This mini duo of twist-up bullets offer neutral…

Have you checked out the new beauty try-on tool over at bloomingdales.com? It’s a tool that lets you see what certain beauty products look like on different skin tones. I was surprised to see this on the website, but I must say I am quite the sucker for these things. Here is a screen shot: I went through a bunch…

This is my new quick-cat-eye-go-to eyeliner. I have been using the Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner for some time, but this here is what I reach for when I am in hurry. The thing I like most about the CLIO Kill Black Waterproof Pen Liner, is that it’s the perfect applicator! I find eyeliner pens to be easiest to…

There’s a saying that goes, “do one thing and do it well.” Well that certainly doesn’t apply to Ciaté. When I found out they were releasing a line of makeup at Sephora, other than nail polish, which included a liquid lipstick (my current obsession right now), I got excited. So excited, I ordered right away! I chose the Liquid Velvet Matte Lip…

Happy snow day! Today I wanted to give you all my take on Rimmel’s line of liquid lipsticks, Provocalips. I purchased two of these, Make Your Move and Heart Breaker (which I haven’t tried yet). Rimmel Provocalips: Make Your Move

If I can get right down to business, ColourPop Eyeshadow > ColourPop Lippie Stix! Now this is a product I can return to! I recently went on a short weekend trip to Atlanta and figured this would be the perfect time to test out the ColourPop eyeshadows and also I figured there would be more sunlight than up here in…

I am probably one of the boldest dressers in my office. Dress code is business casual (most days I just go full-on business because I like to dress up) and I spent a small fortune on a new wardrobe once I moved here and found out that there are 4 seasons (sarcasm and shade mixed with a tinge of regret).…

Happy Friday! I just wanted to go ahead and show the other Lippie Stix I purchased from ColourPop, Fetch ($5.00). I had the same experience I did with the previous color, Yasmin. The waxy appearance on the lips, and the pasty look it gives me when I use it as a full lipstick. These photograph well but let me tell…

I totally wanted to love these. The ColourPop Lippie Stix ($5.00) look highly pigmented and they are super affordable. Yasmin is described as a full coverage, electric coral matte lip. On me, it was matte, but the color didn’t do anything for me. As far as application, it applied like a crayon. Yes, a wax crayon is what it reminded…

I just can’t get enough… I just can’t get enough… This is Kat Von D. Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Outlaw ($19.00). If I had my way, I’d get more of these, but I need to chill out. I went into the store (Sephora) to see what the difference was between Outlaw and Underage Red. From what I could tell (and…
