This one has been in my stash for a while! ColourPop Poison ($5.00) is described as a brick red… one can never have too many red lipsticks. This is one of those classic red colors on me, rather than brick red. One of the things that I really enjoy about it, is that it’s not quite matte, but also not…

About 7 years ago, I went and got semi-permanent brow tattoos. Three years after, they had faded almost completely. My brows looked good, but my experience at the venue wasn’t positive enough that I would go back. I even thought it was a waste of time repeating the process because I would always have to go and redo them. Earlier…

Can you just have a look at those brows? Some of the best brows I ever drew. My natural brows are sparse. Like super sparse. Years ago, I went and got brow tattoos from this “interesting” office in Coral Gables. I thought because it was Coral Gables, it should be fine and most importantly, high quality. The quality was fine,…

I have been wanting to try out Kevyn Aucoin’s foundation for some time. I know the brand has a stellar reputation when it comes to makeup, but for me, I could never truly appreciate that because I found myself mostly drawn to the foundations in the line and could never find a place where they were readily available for swatching.…

ColourPop Sculpting Stix ($5.00) have been out for some time and I hadn’t gotten around to reviewing them because I wasn’t very excited by them. That’s not to say that they are bad because they’re not, I just don’t find myself reaching for them as much as I thought I would. That likely has something to do with the fact…

Bonsoir from Paris! Today I wanted to bring you all a review on the Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick Duo in Bronze / Pepper ($14.00). I have a few lipstick duos from Bite Beauty and this one performed similar to those. The only color that really appealed to me out of the other three was this one. A while back,…

The Urban Decay Junkie Vice Lipstick Palette ($35.00) contains 12 lipsticks in a pretty large palette with a huge mirror. When I first saw swatches of this on Temptalia, I knew I wanted it, but it didn’t seem practical for travel or for everyday use. I was wrong. I have taken this palette to work with me numerous times in…

Lip tints are something you have to be in to, to enjoy them. For me, it’s all about that natural look. It’s a great compromise to a full, bold lip; it makes me feel younger and more fresh for some reason, and I really like the idea of not worrying about reapplying because they last all day long. The only…

I finally got a chance to try the liquid lipsticks from Anastasia Beverly Hills ($20.00). Not sure what took me so long to get a hold of these, perhaps the competition in the liquid lipstick realm is just too fierce. Kathryn and Veronica are mortal enemies, I’m afraid. The performance of these two are so opposite to each other. I…

Hey ya’ll! Have a look at this post on pink lipsticks for dark skin. I chose these based on how often I reach for them, if they are still available, and most importantly, how great they look on me! There are two that are currently out of stock and were limited edition, but I had to include them anyway! I…

I love a good lip stain. Whatever is on my lips, I want it to last all day. The J. Cat Beauty Liptitude 24/7 Hydrating Lip Stains ($5.99) certainly do not last all day, but they do leave behind a beautiful stain so that if you want, you can still appear as if you have color on your lips. In…

I have had the Makeup Revolution Baked Blusher in All I Think About Is You ($5.00) in my stash for some time. I’m not the biggest blush fan because, well, with my skin tone, most of the colors look the same on me. For this reason, if I buy blush, it needs to be seriously pigmented like the Nars blushes…

The ColourPop Zingara Quad ($18.00) is part of the beautiful fall collection ColourPop recently released. Now that I have had time to bask in its glory, it’s time for a report. I initially wanted Seeker, Elixir, and Paradox, but saw that as a set, I could get the beautiful Jinxie at a discount so I just went ahead and purchased…

I was in New Orleans for an entire week when this sweet precious bundle of joy arrived at my house. I finally had a chance to get some swatches of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Makeup by Mario Master Palette ($45.00) going this past weekend. First impressions: At first swatch, I noticed immediately how powdery these were… as in there was…

ColourPop Cami ($5.00) is part of the lippie stix Matte X formula. I purchased it a while back as a filler for free shipping and with time I ended up liking it more than I did when I first got it. The Matte X formula is super pigmented but still Matte; it’s quite unique in formula.

I’m not sure why it took me so long to review this foundation, but it’s not an awful thing because I’m 100% sure about what I feel about this foundation. I am a huge fan of Make Up For Ever; it’s my favorite makeup brand! They are really attentive to women of color and I happen to love pretty much…

I thought I would mix things up a bit and preview the items I recently purchased from the ColourPop Fall Edit collection. Well, I’m not sure they are actually calling it a collection, especially because some of the items are repromotes (I didn’t buy any repromotes). I created this FOTD with fall in mind.

A red lip does so much for my confidence. I think I feel sexiest when I am wearing red lipstick. I picked up Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick in Grand Cru when I was in London. I had heard of the brand’s line of liquid lipstick, and at the time it was considered one of the best drugstore liquid lipsticks,…
