Hola and Happy Thanksgiving! I put this list in an effort to highlight some of the great deals out there this holiday season, just in time for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday Weekend. Also, beauty shopping can be overwhelming as hell (well, for me anyway) so I’ve put together this guide, separated by budget, to zoom in on the things that…

I’m not a lucky person at all but mannn I have some awesome friends. I had been lusting, frantically lusting after the Dior Precious Rocks Palette in Ruby since I first saw it. It was limited edition, and it sold out quickly. The thoughtful Angela from Beautyandthecat surprised me with this palette and I nearly died. The palette is also…

Lip gloss is making a comeback. For me, that’s kind of a big deal because I haven’t appreciated it as much as other lip products. I’m very picky when it comes to lip glosses because a lot of them enhance my already luscious lips, and I am generally not a fan of very shiny lips. I picked up the ColourPop…

I have been holding on to the Topshop Chameleon Glow Highlighters ($10.00-14.00) for a very long time. You may have seen me on Instagram wearing these on and off but I thought I should share the glory of the powders. I have already previously reviewed the Otherworldly Glow Stick in the photo below, so in this post, I will only…

Why, yes, this is a review of a masculine fragrance set! Every time I make a beauty purchase and am entitled to samples, I almost always choose fragrance samples. It has kept me from having to purchase a full-sized perfume for years. And if there is a Maison Margiela fragrance sample, please believe I am getting those. The brand is…

Naomi. Grace. Rita. Brooke. What do all of these names have in common? They’re all names of Charlotte Tilbury’s Brow Lift Eyebrow Pencil ($30.00), inspired by the 90s brow. I found that part about this pencil interesting since I wasn’t wearing makeup in the 90s, let alone had brows! They were even more sparse than they are now but on…

Dewy skin has always escaped me and my oily skin. I just don’t feel quite comfortable with the dewy look because I’m paranoid that I just look greasy, which in my opinion, I do. I often still try it anyway but decided to mattify it out a bit. If you’re one of those people like me that love the dewy…

Calling all sparse brow people! Skinny brow pencils have been around for a long time, and they are great for filling in sparse brows, if not the best product out there that will give you natural looking brows. Even if you have brows already, these are still really good because of their precise nature. I’ve tested three different brow pencils…

I picked up the Sephora Cream Lip Stain Set ($12.00) recently, remembering the full-sized version I picked up and loved. The set comes with four tiny minis.

I realize that it’s Monday, but I fell asleep before I could publish this post last night, so we’re doing it today! These are items that have caught my eye I thought I would share swatches of. Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color Shades swatched: Bare, Baby, Lilac, Babe, Regal, Ruby, Grenadine, Cherry, Blackberry. Telluride was missing.

This post is all about taking the best advantage of the VIB sale Sephora holds every year. The sale comes around twice a year but this particular sale is closest to the holidays – just in time for you to treat yourself, and also get a deal on things you’ve been wanting at the same time. I’m calling this a…

It’s official! ColourPop is now in select Sephora stores. Luckily, most of the line was available at the Sephora near my house. I have a few swatches, and I mean a few of the items that were available at the time. Here’s what I was able to get and had the time to get swatches of: Semi Precious Shadow Palette…

It was quite hard for me to get my hands on the ColourPop Yes Please Palette ($16.00). It sold out multiple times before I was able to snag it, and that only made me want it more. Have a look at some photos before I get into the review. My skin type My eyelids are oily. I use primer with…

I usually don’t like to post reviews without showing what the shadow looks like on my eyes, but I am making an exception for one of these palettes (Electra) in this case because 1) the Fiona Stiles Electra Palette is already sold out and 2) Meier is still available but I imagine will be sold out soon as well. At…

I had high expectations for the Sephora Collection Make No Mistake Foundation & Concealer Stick ($20.00), as well as the High Coverage Concealer ($14.00); they did not disappoint! Have a look at the demo and scroll on down for the full review.

The Hourglass Confession Lipsticks ($34.00) caught my eye as soon as those sexy beasts came out. Hourglass is a luxury brand so I new I would really have to narrow down what I wanted. The first one that made my heart skip a beat was I’m Addicted. I saw it on Temptalia and ordered it almost immediately. It’s described as…

As a beauty blogger, I must say, it’s hard for me to get genuinely excited about any individual beauty product. I mean, more than an eyebrow raise or two; more than an impulsive purchase. Something that sparks the type of creativity I haven’t felt in many, many years. The BALMAIN x L’OREAL lipstick collaboration did this for me. The names…

I’ve previously reviewed two other Blotted Lips from ColourPop ($5.00) and my feelings remain the same on them: conflicted. I love using the blotted lips; I would describe them as a lip tint that can be built to medium coverage. The result is a very natural looking, dainty lip. Of the three, I probably use On a Stick the most.…

Foundation review time! Now I am a matte foundation girl at heart but when I saw the entire Fiona Stiles line on sale at Ulta, I had to give the Luminous Finish Foundation Concentrate ($7.50-$34.00) a shot; especially since it was only $7.50! I don’t know what’s going on with the Fiona Stiles makeup line but the brand seems to be…
