Hey y’all! Apparently I am into holographic shiny things lately and recently went to Sephora to check out the Too Faced Mystical Effects Lipsticks. The lipsticks were strange lipstick colors, but when you swatched them, they weren’t so strange at all!

It’s almost that time of year again, where Sephora has its spring Beauty Insider sale. I must say, 15% off isn’t really that much, but somehow I am always lured in by this discount. For Rouge, the sale starts Friday, April 13th (Friday the 13th!) and that’s probably when I’ll be doing my hauling. It goes until April 16th and…

When you only have 15 minutes to do your makeup, certain sacrifices must be made. Before I get into this look, there are some advantages to limiting yourself to 15 minutes to do your makeup. One in particular is this thing called real life. Things happen on time when you limit yourself, such as getting to work on time! Another…

I’ve had the Mally Beauty Face Defender as a staple in my stash for years. I was first introduced to it by the lovely Angela from Beautyandthecat, who thought it might help with my very oily skin. It’s a beauty balm mostly made up of silicones that I apply over my makeup. It definitely clears up my oil outbreaks without…

Here’s a soft, feminine look I put together while experimenting with Laura Geller’s Baked Blush in Malibu. I picked the blush up a while back on Hautelook when Laura Geller products were featured for what amounted to chump change, and the investment is most certainly paying off.

This volume of Super Swatch Sunday feature products that were recently released and ones I found myself incredibly curious about. The most interesting for me this time around is the Marc Jacobs Shameless Foundation. It fully covered my tattoo! Super into the Laura Mercier concealers, too – those things were like butter! Have a look and a few thoughts! Pat…

Nars has done something interesting in the highlighter world and decided to cater to those that aren’t looking for a galaxy of bling on their face.

Move over Ben Nye, Essence has a Banana Powder is in town and it has been rocking my world! Now this powder is not for those that love to cake and bake up their face; it’s a pretty lightweight powder with a tinge of yellow that sets and mattifies. The best part is it comes in a compact instead of a…

It seems like all of the bloggers and reviewers in the beauty world went nuts over Mac’s Extra Dimension Blush formula when these blushes were released last year. I was trying to taper my hype and wait it out to see if I still wanted it, and I did. Many months after these were released I finally picked one up…

A brush. Wait. Let me be more precise. A mini Sephora Collection Pro Flawless Airbrush #56. I suppose I should be grateful; most retailers don’t give you a damn thing after spending a ton of money in their store. So thanks, Sephora. I can’t lie, I wish Sephora would give away a full-size product. I know some folks are really…

I was told nearly my entire childhood not to judge a book by its cover. It’s a little harder not to do with makeup. However, the Nars Easy Glowing Cheek Palette went through two stages of consideration before I decided to get it and it still left me longing for more. I went for the darker of the palettes, Coucher De Soleil…

Over the holiday season, I bought a lot of sets and minis because its a great opportunity to try out things you may not be fully committed to. One of those was the Clinique Dewy You Set (now on sale for $13.50) which included the Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief, Moisture Surge Overnight Mask, and the Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour…

I have been on a mascara kick lately. As brands and retailers stop giving away free mascara samples with beauty purchases, I have been forced to actually get out there and start testing mascaras that I would naturally choose instead of what was on offer. I recently picked up the Maybelline Lash Sensational Full Fan Effect Mascara and it’s pretty darn…

Why pick one, when you can have them all? The Bad Boy. Mr. Right. Mr. Right NOW. And of course, the Good Catch. Well, now you can with Lipstick Queen’s Dating Game Collection. I must say, as a human adult, I have gone through all of these phases of men! 😂 I just love the marketing in this collection. Have…

This look was inspired by Karen over at Makeup and Beauty Blog. She did a monochromatic Valentine’s Day look and I was so moved by it, I decided to recreate it, with a few modifications for my skin tone and tastes.

I’ve had pretty good success with the Sephora Collection Bright Future line. In fact, I loved their gel concealer and their color corrector wasn’t so bad either. When I saw they were offering a new luminizer, I just had to take a chance on it. The luminizer is offered in three shades, Champagne, Rosé, and Cognac and is $14.00. Playing…
