Smashbox Always On Matte Lip – Stepping Out (Deep Nude)

The Smashbox Always On Matte Lip ($24.00) has been out for some time now. I went into Sephora for something totally not this and walked out with this nude lip in Stepping Out and two other nude lippies, Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Molasses and Bite Beauty Glace.  See 10 nude lipsticks for dark skin That was a surprise because when I…

Sephora Wonderful Cushion Matte Lip Cream | Totally Underrated!

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.

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.

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 ๐Ÿ™‚ 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. ๐Ÿ™‚ ColourPop’s Ultra Matte liquid lipstick in LAX reminds me of a…

I immediately lusted after Kevyn Aucoin’s The Contour Book Volume II: Art of Sculpting + Defining Palette ($65.00) when I saw it. I’ve just come back from a work trip to San Diego, my original stomping ground, and I’m off to London tomorrow. I’m doing this thing called “I hate checking bags, so let me make flying as efficient as possible” so I…

Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick Duo – Fig/Date | Photos | Swatches | Review

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…
