KIKO Fall Collection: Midnight Siren

KIKO Fall Collection: Midnight Siren

I nearly broke my makeup no-buy wandering in to KIKO. I did have a look at their fall collection, Midnight Siren. I was most impressed by their Moon Shadow Water Infused Eyeshadow ($9.00). There are five or six colors and I was mostly drawn to Attractive Plum (3) and Glistening Turquoise (4). Moon Shadow Water Infused Eyeshadow: Glistening Turquoise and…

Holding on to Summer

Holding on to Summer

This look has been in my queue for a month and I thought today, with the weather all cold, rainy, and gloomy, was a good day to post it. And to think, when it was 90 degrees and humid I let “I’m ready for fall” come out of my mouth. Smh. Bring back the sunshine!

Seriously Loving Sephora’s New Gel Serum Concealer | Photo Overload | Review

Seriously Loving Sephora’s New Gel Serum Concealer | Photo Overload | Review

I really don’t think I would be sticking my foot in my mouth by saying the Sephora Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer has been the best beauty-related purchase I’ve made all year. Likely the best $14.00 I’ve ever spent! 🙂 I will let the photos do the talking but I wanted to cover the basics quickly. I purchased the concealer…

Relaunch of Dior Addict Lipsticks & a Review of Oversize

Relaunch of Dior Addict Lipsticks & a Review of Oversize

Dior has relaunched their Dior Addict Lipsticks ($35.00) for the fall and guess, what? I really, really like them, which surprises me because they are semi-sheer. I generally don’t waste my time (or money) on products that aren’t fully opaque (just a personal preference) but this lipstick is so classy-looking, super moisturizing, and totally buildable! It lasts on me until…

Trying Out: Sephora Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer

As I am in the market for a new concealer, I decided to try out the new one I have spotted at Sephora over the past couple of weeks: it’s the Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer ($14.00). I have been wanting to try the Nars one, but decided to test this one out since the name of it is so fancy (haha).…

Taking a Quick Gander at Dior Addict Lipsticks

Taking a Quick Gander at Dior Addict Lipsticks

Dior has recently released an entire new line of Dior Addict Lipsticks for fall. Unfortunately, they haven’t made it into my Sephora yet. That didn’t stop me from seeing what all the fuss was about, assuming the formula will be the same with the new line!  Dior Addict Lipsticks, Shown: Dior Kiss (578)

This review of the Sephora Colorful Shadow Liner & Pencil ($14.00) in Purple (15) will be very similar to the one in Dark Taupe Shimmer, with two differences: the finish and longevity. Sephora Colorful Shadow Liner & Pencil – Purple

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip (Probably is From) Mars

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip (Probably is From) Mars

Happy Labor Day! It’s quite appropriate to talk about ColourPop Ultra Matte Lipstick in Mars because it has been very laborious to get this lipstick to work for me. Eventually, I gave up on it. Which is a shame because the color is fantastic. You will see from the lip swatches how terrible this experience was for me. It reminded…

Shine Bright Like a Diamond: Topshop Chameleon Highlighter in Mother of Pearl | …

I was able to pick up the Topshop Chameleon highlighter in Mother of Pearl while I was in NYC. I’ve tried my best to capture this highlighter but it’s pretty hard to photograph for some reason. This is ironic because it certainly does sparkle. I reckon it’s time I got my camera game up lol.  Topshop Chameleon Highlighter in Mother…
