I mostly ignored Drunk Elephant’s Anti Pollution Sunshine Serum when it first came out because I didn’t think it was for me. Then I got to thinking: it’s bronze; I’m basically bronze. It’s only going to complement my skin, right? Right I was. Also, I have been on the search for a tinted moisturizer for my skin tone for forever…

Ulta is having a pretty fabulous sale on their website. Up to 50% off beauty goodies, and not just lame stuff they can’t sell. 40% off the already nicely priced Real Techniques brand is drool-worthy; 50% off Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer, something I have been wanting to try for a while; 40% off L.A.Girl (I love their concealers). In…

Grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and relax because I have a review of a sheet mask that I fancy quite a bit. It’s from the Sasa brand and it’s called the Sasatinnie Pink Diamond Revitalizing Biocellulose Mask. My skin type Oily and imperfect. I have fading dark acne scars and tiny icepick scars on my cheeks. What it’s…

My eyes lit up with wonder when I first heard about the Milk Makeup Watermelon Brightening Serum. A serum in a solid stick form that supposed to brighten? Yes please!

I feel like it’s not very often that makeup and beauty products go on sale unless there is some sort of friends and family or holiday promotion going on. Well, Sephora has had some goodies on sale for quite a while that may have flown under your radar, with all the new beauty eye candy we get every month.

I purchased The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA to combat my dark acne scars. This may be the first product I have purchased with the intention of using it for one thing and it ended up being effective for something else. Have a look at some before and after photos, paying close attention the texture of the skin on…

I recently decided to treat myself to some things I’ve had my eye on after refraining from beauty shopping for some time. Here’s what I picked up:

Here’s my most recent haul from The Ordinary and some initial thoughts. Mandelic Acid 10% Hands down, my favorite of the bunch, and just may be my favorite purchase ever from The Ordinary!

Starting next week, it’s officially going to start feeling more like summer spring (and I’m sooo ready!). What better way get ready for it by talking about sunscreen?! Supergoop sent over their But First, Sunscreen Kit for me to try and it did not disappoint. The kit comes in a nifty little pouch and includes three handy, travel-sized sunscreens in…

I know I look like Hannibal Lecter but hear me out! If you’re a person that loves sheet masking you’re gonna wanna try this. And if you’re already doing this, more power to you! I am often limited with the time I have to get ready in the morning and almost never have time to sheet mask. I usually reserve…

Spring is here and with spring comes the sun. I love the sun, but walking around outside without sun protection is a recipe for a dark ass forehead. When I used to go to yoga regularly, I was always caught in the sun trap; that feeling that the sun seemed to only want to love on my forehead. Blessed are…

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…

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…

Pacifica is a brand I was unfamiliar with until their Milk to Foam Face Wash strutted its way into my life. I was instantly curious about the milk to foam claim and wondered if that was truly a thing. I can report that, yes, it is truly a thing and it gives me so much pleasure to use, I’ll be…
