I must admit, until recently, I hadn’t worn powder foundation since I was 17 years old; the age I started experimenting with makeup. I bought Mac’s Mineralize SkinFinish Natural Powder while yearning for something lightweight but would still provide coverage. One thing Mac is wonderful at — a pioneer in — is providing a range of shades. I decided on…

Lately, I have been spending too much time with makeup. Yeah, it’s a real thing! Between too much time in Sephora and Nordstrom and online shenanigans… I should probably take a chill pill. I decided to not let it go to waste and share some swatches along the way. Milk Makeup Holographic Stick – Supernova I will start with the…

You guys! For some reason, Ulta has discounted Fiona Stiles Beauty line online. I bought a bunch of stuff and am currently in test mode, but my lawd I have been asleep. I have tried two of the brand’s eyeshadow creams that left me kind of meh, but the foundation? Stock the F up! Here’s a little sneak peak some…

Today, I’m showing off the Mac x Taraji P. Henson Viva Glam lipstick and lip glass, as well as the highly coveted and sold out Highlight Your Life highlighter and Taraji Glow Mineralized Skinfinish Blush. Listen, I know this is hella late and a lot of people no longer have access to the two face products, however, I’m going to post…

This post is more informational, than an actual review. I recently stopped by Sephora to have a look at the Becca Sunlit Bronzers after I saw them on Sabrina at beautylookbook. They look magnificent on her, but I wondered how they would appear on dark skin, especially since she said they appear more glowy than sparkly (super accurate description), which…

Today, I have a triple threat review! I felt the need to explore the queen, Charlotte Tilbury’s, line of makeup more, as I am only in ownership of her Bar of Gold highlighter, which I love and her Eyes to Mesmerise in Mona Lisa, which I love even more. I decided on the Matte Revolution lipstick in Very Victoria, as…

It’s no secret that the Laura Mercier Translucent Powder ($38.00) is an industry must-have; many beauty gurus and makeup artists swear by it. Translucent powder has never been something I have been able to get excited about but when the brand came out with a shade for darker-toned ladies, I felt it was the perfect opportunity to try out the…

There’s not one Make Up For Ever purchase I regret. This is a brand that I will continue to sweat and praise because they offer quality products at a reasonable price point and they don’t leave any skin tone out. So when they released the Artist Liquid Lipstick ($20.00), there was no hesitation to go check them out. My skin…

I picked up the Viseart Petit Pro Palette ($30.00) after it had been sitting in my Sephora cart for way too long. I was aware that the palette would be small, but I was surprised to find that the squares of shadow are large enough for my eyeshadow brush, and I didn’t even scoff at the tiny palette. As I…

I hadn’t bought anything from KIKO in a while and decided to stop in the store and maybe pick up a few things. KIKO is a brand that I feel is ahead of the game in terms of innovation, but I find myself being more inclined to like their lip products than anything else they offer. I picked up one…

I have always liked the idea of lip tint, but never thought I could wear them until I got into Korean Beauty. I reviewed a lip tint from Nature Republic before, and picked the Nature Republic Real Gel Tints up the same time I did that one, also from Nature Republic. My skin type My lips are generally dry. What…

I’ll say that again. The Sephora Cream Lip Stains ($14.00) make me want to abandon all other brands of liquid lipstick. You heard that right. Now will I actually do it? Nah. I like shiny new things too much and I’m way too impulsive of a person for that to happen but these liquid lipsticks are the BOMB. My skin type…

I am in love with Ben Nye Banana Powder. Strangely, I haven’t reviewed it. A product already having so many reviews has never stopped me from reviewing it, but Ben Nye’s banana powder has a lot of reviews (I have Topaz too but it’s too orange for me and I hate it). One kind of meh thing about Ben Nye’s…

When the Giorgio Armani Lip Magnets ($38.00) came out, people seemed really into them. I held off because they’re pricey, I am trying to be more cautious of over-hyped products, and I was just really unsure about the colors. Also, it’s not like I need another liquid lipstick but whatevs. I love the Maestro Fusion Foundation and the Eye Tints…

The NARS Loaded Eyeshadow Palette ($59.00) is a very warm palette and it’s very brown — almost boring you can say, but that’s the reason I bought it. Nars describes it as neutral, and ok, I accept that, but it’s also quite warm. I wanted something fresh and new for more natural looks for my 9-5. A couple of things…

ColourPop Blotted Lips ($5.00) are supposed to be a sheer matte formula lipstick that leaves a light-to-medium tint on the lips. What an accurate description! When I first heard about Blotted Lips, I thought they were nothing more than their lippie stix in a smaller package. Nope! I settled on Lexi, a cool-toned red, and Deja Vu a pink-nude. Top: Deja Vu;…

I recently took a gander in Sephora and saw the highly talked about Nars Banc de Sable highlighter palette ($49.00). Apparently, Banc de Sable is translated as “sand bank” which is really surprising because I thought it was going to be something more provocative. Nonetheless, here are the swatches!

Hey guys! Today I have my review of the Dior Addict Lacquer Sticks. I ended up picking up two colors, Indie Rose and Sulfurous. Sulfurous Sulfurous Sulfurous Indie Rose Indie Rose Indie Rose My skin type My lips are naturally dry. I have to regularly exfoliate and I suspect that has something to do with my dependency on lip balm.…

I always have my eyes open in the beauty world, scoping out new products, or just plain lusting over products i happen to come across. Lately, there are a few in the luxury beauty world that are giving me some major FOMO! Don’t be surprised if you see one of these up for review in the near future! 😩
