Scent I’ve been reaching for Maison Margiela Jazz Club. For several years now! I can’t believe how consistent I am with that. It just smells so good.…

Adults Only is a peachy nude on me from the Glowing Lip line. It’s a little bit shiny and can be layered on from a tint of color to a full-on lip. Band T is described as a muted mauve, but comes off as a cool nude on me from the Lux Lipstick line. Surprisingly, it goes on a bit…

It seems like working from home might be ramping down and I’ve got the perfect hair and makeup for return to the office. Let’s start with hair! As you may know, I am a full lace wig gal, but it has been very hard to find full lace wigs at a reasonable price lately. I’ve been wearing clip-ins for a…

Typically, it’s not easy for me to find a bronzer that works for my skin tone. They usually just blend right in and I have to do mental acrobatics just to see it on my skin. Not the L’Oréal Infallible Fresh Wear Bronzer! I purchased the bronzer in Deep Dark and use a large powder brush to apply. A huge…

Tightlining has been around for centuries. If you’re not familiar with the process, it’s basically using eyeliner to line the inner portion of your eyelid, where your eyelashes grow.

Today I have a little round-up of my top three favorite mascaras right now. I’ve been using all three of these for years and they have never steered me wrong. They all perform differently and leave my puny, minuscule lashes looking full and lush. If you have struggle-bucket eyelashes, then this post is for you. Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real I’ve…

Earlier this month, I took a short trip back to my old stomping grounds. I spent eight glorious years in my 20’s in Miami and it’s always a pleasure to go back. Last year, my partner and I went over Valentine’s Day <3 and we decided to do it again. It’s become a tradition, I think. The weather wasn’t the…

As promised, I am back to talk a little bit about a couple of the Makeup by Mario items I hauled, now that I have had a chance to use and “perfect” them. The Glam Eyeshadow Quad in Bronzy Glam actually exceeded my expectations. I noticed when I purchased it, it had iffy reviews. I had already had trouble with…
