Sephora has released a huge, new collection of new lipsticks called #lipstories! I, of course, fell for the marketing, and ordered three shades, one in each of the available finishes: Matte, Creamy, and Metallic. These are $8.00 a pop and I ended up ordering these sight unseen because these aren’t in stores yet. I made out with Yum Yum, Hong…

My brows are probably the thing I change about my face the most. As someone with sparse brows, I manage to experiment with the shape of my brows almost weekly, without looking like a fool or removing any hair at all (more on that later). I am partial to skinny brow pencils; I find them to be more precise than…

I love a good eyeliner, in case you can’t tell by the influx of eyeliner reviews. I’m also incredibly lazy, and it’s taken me forever to post this review of the Make Up For Ever Aqua XL Ink Liner ($24.00). I went with the shade Diamond Turquoise Blue, to spice up my regular old black liner.

I just want to be the best person I can be by taking care of myself, my mental state, my body. Be as natural as I can to myself inside and out while also partaking in my desires. Keeping it simple but still being presentable and being as happy with myself as I can. Practice what I preach not just…

I had heard the Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush in So Close ($45.00) was very pigmented; more pigmented than your typical Chanel blush. I don’t own any other Chanel blushes, but I have seen them on other people. What I don’t see, however, is many people as dark as me using these blushes. That could be due to a number…

I’ve not had to purchase mascara for some time as I’ve had so many samples. Wells inevitably run dry, don’t they? Wait… do they? When I noticed my Benefit Rollerball and They’re Real mascaras running dry, I started researching what mascara I wanted next. Long ago, my “end all be all” mascara was Lancome’s Hypnose Drama. This time, I decided…

Do you know how long I have been lusting after the Make Up For Ever Artist Nudes Palette? Years, I tell you, years! When it went on sale at Sephora, I knew I had to pick it up. It’s sold out and the only reason I’m still gonna review it is because the individual powders themselves can still be purchased…

You did read that right, your best option! I have tried so many eyeliners, I’ve lost count. You can go through life never finding the perfect eyeliner; but this one, I think you should pay attention to, especially if you suffer from oily lids! I mean, perfect might be a bit of a misnomer but the Mac Liquidlast Liner comes…
