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…

The Muses came to visit me Underneath the Ambrosia Tree I took a bite and I felt fright But then they came to comfort me. The Muses come to visit me To open up my eyes and see All the beauty in the world And with my brush I would be free. The Muses come to visit me Only in…

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…
