I can’t get enough of these liquid lipsticks from Kat Von D. I wasn’t sure that L.U.V. would show up nicely on me but I was more than pleasantly surprised to find that it did. I love how unique the colors in this collection are and that they look great on ladies of all shades. SEE MORE LIQUID LIPSTICK POSTS…

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…

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…

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…

I have been eyeballing beauty products from Topshop for some time. I finally went on ahead and ordered a few things after three glasses of champagne. Funny how that happens… I ended up going with their highlighter in Horizon ($16.00) which I saw on Makeup and Beauty Blog (thanks Karen!), and found two lip items that looked promising. One is…

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…

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.

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!

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 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…

I really wanted to love this mascara. After all, it does say it’s better than sex. This is an exaggeration. I have had better– for cheaper too. I believe this guy was $23. I would say this mascara is like sloppy sex because when you first open it, the mascara comes gushing out–literally gushing out of the bottle. It’s clumpy…

I am currently doing a test on my skin to figure out what combination of products keeps my oily skin under control. If this product doesn’t break me out, which is the last part of this test, it is likely that I will purchase it for myself ($40)! The product in question is the Evercolor Poreless Face Defender by Mally…

I didn’t plan on shopping today, but hey, when in Rome! Actually, it was Virginia… Does Rome have Korean makeup stores? Hmm… Well apparently, Virginia does! Here’s what I pulled in today! TONYMOLY TONYNAIL Nail Polish in… Actually I have no idea what the name is because the entire bottle is in Korean. I did see something about D12 on…

So I strayed a little bit off the path from my Lancome Bi-Facil eye makeup remover to try Just Release Me by Philosophy because it was cheaper. This was $18 I believe at Sephora, although it is listed out of stock right now. This was appealing to me because of the large size and I thought it might be just…

I have been really good about consistency in my skincare regimen. I have very oily skin– always have. Strangely, I didn’t notice it as much when I lived in South Florida. Now that I live in a place where there are four seasons, somehow it seems as if my skin has gotten even more oily, if that’s possible. I have…

Hey hey hey, As this is my second batch of these I thought I would go ahead and tell you guys about it. Believe it or not, I am a skincare fanatic. I wholeheartedly believe to catch things before they happen, preventative care, etc. While looking online for a face cleanser, after careful consideration, I came across Roc Daily Resurfacing…

Hi Guys, I wanted to show you all a new palette I have acquired recently. TOTAL impulsive buy! When I got it I was shocked by the size of it, but in the end I think it is pretty handy. You could take this palette anywhere. I purchased it from Sephora.com ($42). Here are some pics and swatches. Makeup Forever…

So this is Inglot’s matte lipstick in 517. It’s a pink-mauve color and goes very well with my skin tone. Sometimes I’m afraid of matte lips– lest is washed out my skin, but this color is working well for me. Sometimes applying your makeup in artificial light doesn’t really show you what you actually look like; so I applied my…
