3 Skinny Brow Pencils for Sparse Brows | Comparison Review

Calling all sparse brow people! Skinny brow pencils have been around for a long time, and they are great for filling in sparse brows, if not the best product out there that will give you natural looking brows. Even if you have brows already, these are still really good because of their precise nature. I’ve tested three different brow pencils…

ColourPop is in Sephora Stores and I Have Swatches!

It’s official! ColourPop is now in select Sephora stores. Luckily, most of the line was available at the Sephora near my house. I have a few swatches, and I mean a few of the items that were available at the time. Here’s what I was able to get and had the time to get swatches of: Semi Precious Shadow Palette…

Sephora Collection Make No Mistake Foundation and High Coverage Concealer | Dark Skin Swatches

Sephora Collection Make No Mistake Foundation and High Coverage Concealer | Dark Skin …

I have always said that the Sephora Collection was underrated. I stand by that statement and bring you swatches of their newest Make No Mistake Foundation and Concealer Stick ($20.00) and the High Coverage Concealer ($14.00). The concealer is definitely high coverage and more liquid based while the foundation is actually a foundation stick. It was a pretty thick cream…

Review: Sephora Collection Bronzer Powder Canary Islands (Dark)

Review: Sephora Collection Bronzer Powder Canary Islands (Dark)

Bronzer, you shall not defeat me! I am often super reminiscent of a bronzer I purchased from Victoria’s Secret many, many eons ago. It was everything I looked for in a bronzer! It gave me a gorgeous glow and I was darker than I am now, as I was living in Miami and was two shades darker all-year-round! I have…

The Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stains Make Me Want to Abandon All Other Brands of Liquid Lipstick

The Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stains Make Me Want to Abandon All …

I’ll say that again. The Sephora Cream Lip Stains ($14.00) make me want to abandon all other brands of liquid lipstick. You heard that right. Now will I actually do it? Nah. I like shiny new things too much and I’m way too impulsive of a person for that to happen but these liquid lipsticks are the BOMB. My skin type…

Sephora Soko to Tokyo is Back!

I almost pushed “Checkout” on my Sephora cart without going through my “Loves” list. Glad I did, too, because Soko to Tokyo ($40.00) is BACK and it’s got products I have been wanting to try but couldn’t bring myself to push the button on.

The Smashbox Always On Matte Lip ($24.00) has been out for some time now.

Sephora Wonderful Cushion Matte Lip Cream | Totally Underrated!

The Sephora Wonderful Cushion Matte Lip Cream ($8.00) surprised me. I’m not sure why because I have been saying since… well forever, that the Sephora Collection is totally underrated. The lip cream is housed in a tube applicator that you need to squeeze in order to release the product. I was really coy with the tube at first, but you…

Sephora Bright Future Color Corrector – Melon

Sephora Bright Future Color Corrector – Melon

I have been holding on to this color corrector for quite some time. It kind of took the back-burner to the YSL Touch Elcat Neutralizer but I still use it from time to time. The Sephora Bright Future Color Corrector ($14.00) is a great alternative to the YSL corrector, if you’re on a budget.

Where on earth did April go? And I thought February was short… This month just flew by! I recently wrote a preview post about the April Play! by Sephora beauty box and finally received my mine in the mail this week. I had a chance to play around with it for a bit, and since it’s my first, thought I’d show…

Play! by Sephora Box (April 2016)

I am ready to play!  from the Sephora website I haven’t done beauty boxes in a while because I find them hard to customize and get right for everyone. I’m sure they have gotten better and more sophisticated since I quit my Birchbox subscription years ago (they just piled up and I never seemed to have time to open them).…

Scrub-a-Dub-Dub: Sephora Precision Pore Cleansing Pad

Scrub-a-Dub-Dub: Sephora Precision Pore Cleansing Pad

The Sephora Precision Pore Cleansing Pad ($6.00) is a tool that helps you send your blackheads to hell. Perhaps I exaggerate 🙂 The pore cleansing pad reminds me of a mini mini Foreo Luna, minus the vibrations you get since you have to manually rub this one across your face.  What it is:A flexible silicone pad that gently massages the…

A Festival for Dionysus

A Festival for Dionysus

Dionysus really loved his reds. In Greek mythology, Dionysus was the god of wine and fertility, responsible for good drunks, bad drunks, happy drunks, angry drunks, chatty drunks… and the passion that may or may not follow after having said wine. I think I would have really liked him. 🙂 ColourPop’s Ultra Matte liquid lipstick in LAX reminds me of a…

This is the third one of these Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick Duo ($12.00) in my collection and I hope they continue to make more (I say that every time). I also have Violet/Palomino and Tangerine/Ligonberry. I like both and this one isn’t really an exception, although it is different; this one is the nude duo of the bunch.  Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick…
