The Lanolips Tinted Lip Balms ($13.50) first came to my attention via Instagram, where I noticed one of my favorite makeup artists, Ania Milczarczyk, using it all the time. There really didn’t seem to be anything overly special about them, but I love the natural looks she creates and she basically convinced me that I needed these. I settled on…

So I have been pretty excited about the collaboration between Balmain and L’Oreal on their lipstick line. I preordered them from Barneys at the beginning of this month and they have finally arrived, with the exception of one scheduled to be delivered next week. I picked up the shades Confession, Confidence, Domination, Fever, Liberation, and Power. I have some swatches…

Get lost in my gaze with ColourPop’s Ultra Satin Lip in the shade Lost. It’s a gorgeous shade of red, a true red on my pigmented lips (it’s described as a warm red brown). This is one of the most enjoyable red lipsticks I own, and it’s ColourPop so it’s crazy cheap at $6.00.

I am fond of Nars. Very fond. They aren’t perfect, but their Powermatte Pigments ($26.00) come pretty freakin’ close. I picked up London Calling and Under My Thumb.

I have always said that the Sephora Collection was underrated. I stand by that statement and bring you swatches of their newest Make No Mistake Foundation and Concealer Stick ($20.00) and the High Coverage Concealer ($14.00). The concealer is definitely high coverage and more liquid based while the foundation is actually a foundation stick. It was a pretty thick cream…

Yipee! Today I have a foundation review and it’s one I have been trying to get my hands on for a long time! The Ordinary Coverage Foundation is anything but ordinary, and it’s something unique in the line because it actually probably is one of the best foundations out there, if you are looking for coverage and oil control. The…

My first Guerlain purchase was a liquid lipstick from a Winter Holiday collection a couple years ago. It was limited edition, it made me feel fancy af, and it was pretty. It sold out quickly and I have waited a long while for the brand to release more. Enter Guerlain Intense Liquid Matte Lipsticks. There are seven shades and are…

I was quite surprised when I heard Rihanna was coming out with a makeup line. I mean, not shocked because she is certainly in retail but I wasn’t expecting it. I placed my order for when I woke up but I also got myself to Sephora today and swatched everything they had available. I was most keen to swatch the…

The Guerlain Meteorites Baby Glow Touch CC Luminizer ($39.00) comes in two shades: Golden Glow and Rosy Glow. Golden Glow looked warmer to me, so that’s the shade I went with. The highlighting stick is supposed to be used for strobing, but the brand also mentions color correcting, at least with regards to the Rosy Glow shade, from the brand’s website.

You would think, that with a name like Lipstick Queen that I would be all over this brand. I don’t know what took me so long to try anything from the brand. Needless to say, I have had the Lipstick Queen Cupid’s Bow Pencil ($22.00) since last year, and just looking at the pictures makes me want to wear it more…

I was really excited to try the new Mac Rollerwheel Liquid Liner ($21.00), which was exciting in itself because not much in the beauty world excites me these days. The formula is among the best in shade and longevity; it’s sooo black and so up my alley! It even lasts for a very long time, upwards of 16 hours!

I have had enough time to form an opinion about the Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Palette ($42.00). At first, I thought the formula would be like the Nars Loaded Eyeshadow Palette, but it’s not. I’ve also curated three looks with the palette, two that were difficult to do and one that I performed with relative ease.

I was so excited when the Make Up For Ever Aqua XL Color Paints ($25.00) came out! I went to Sephora and initially only bought two colors, but I couldn’t stop thinking about two other colors I regretted not getting so I went back for two more!

I often experience those days where all I want is a wash of color over my eyes and a bare face but I often end up with a full face of makeup! I recently purchased a cream shadow that helped me in that department and I am so in love with it! The Tom Ford Cream Color for Eyes in…

Foundation sticks have certainly become a thing in recent makeup trends. I haven’t tried many but the one I have tried, the Lancome Teint Idole Makeup Stick, I absolutely love and will always repurchase.

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! The name of the concealer is super accurate because it is very soft, and very matte, which I can appreciate as someone with pretty prominent eye bags. Check out this post on the swatches for dark skin, where…
