As many of you have noticed I’ve stopped posting here

I’ve also stopped posting to instagram for the most part. Primarily because I felt like, while I loved makeup and really any form of creative or artistic expression this blog wasn’t expressing that. It became more about talking about beauty products and new makeup, and girl.. While I could do that all day I just felt like at the same time it wasn’t quite me. I also no longer work for Sephora and…

It’s that time again when I take home way more makeup than one person could possibly need at once. My gratis bag was full of so much good stuff, It took me ages to actually make this post because there was so much to take photos of and then write about. In the past when I’ve made these posts it’s basically just showing the products and not actually talking about whether I’ve liked them or not.…

I’ve been putting off restocking some of my essentials because I have other products which serve as surrogates for these products, but they aren’t my favorite like these are. I finally decided to just restock Benefits The Porefessional primer – I love this smoothing primer and I have for a long time – It’s very similar to others that I have and have used, but I always go back to this one! The…

January’s Ipsy!

Hey hey hey, Squeakin’ in right before the end of the month! Here’s what I got in this month’s Ipsy! First of all the bag reminds me of the 1960’s so naturally I like it. Next all the products I got this month are super awesome so lets jump into it.  I have realized I have made a blogging foul and put the Eyeko fat liquid liner in the pictures for my Ipsy and it in fact came in my Birchbox, but…

Urban Decay Matte Revolution Lipsticks

This title is deceiving, because two of these are the new matte lipsticks and one is the regular revolution lipstick, but what kind of title is that? I am STILL posting things I got for Christmas. Why you ask? I actually don’t know. I have no excuse. Guys, these are some of my favorite lipsticks. They are SO creamy, SO pigmented and they have amazing lasting power. The matte formula is hands down…

It was just a day like any other, I used you this morning to put on my foundation.  Then during bath time, your head fell off.  Shock, horror, surprise! All the emotions.. Ok but not really. Let’s talk about this situation right here.    If you’ve been reading this blog since its inception, firstly thank you.. And secondly you’ll know that my first post was a guide to this brands brushes (which I…

January’s Birchbox

Look at me posting this in the month in which I received it! Pat myself on the back for that one. Overall I really enjoyed this box! I’ve been wanting to try an Eyeko eye liner for awhile. I’m not sure how good I’ll be an maneuvering a chubby liquid liner pen, but if anything hilarious happens I’ll make sure to keep you updated. I love Ciate nail polishes so this little guy will likely come in…

Here’s un update for you! Make – Face gloss

It’s absolutely disgusting. Went straight into my trash can. It is actually just a sticky paste for your face. Does that sound good to you? Well I have good news.. You can just put clear lipgloss on your face if you’re into that. It stayed sticky, literally my hair was stuck in it.. so I thought “Am I supposed to powder this??” So I put on a powder highlight on top of it.. No. No.. Don’t do that.…

The Manizer Sisters – The luminizer palette – from The Balm

If you can believe it I still have products from Christmas that I haven’t had the chance to post about yet! This is one of them! I had been wanting to try to ‘Mary-Lou Manizer which is the whitish shade in this palette (all of these shades can also be purchased separately) and I believe it is likely the most popular of the 3 shades. All 3 shades are highlighters or as this brand calls them…

    I’m not new to false eyelashes abs these days I rarely struggle with a pair of lashes. But these demons.. Ruined my eyeliner and everything else near my eye. I always hear people saying lashes with a clear band are easier to apply and I do not agree at all. Give me a black band any day.     And next on the things I hate list, this sponge. It’s hard like a rubber ball and it split in two after…

I almost feel like I’m showing you guys pictures of my socks. For some reason foundation and concealer doesn’t scream ‘fun’ to me, but boy do I like putting it on my face. I’ve discovered a few more drugstore products that I love and a few of these are repurchases. I’ve been loving the L’oreal Infallible pro-matte foundation since I purchased it. I have two shades because I bought the darker and…

December’s Ipsy Glam Bag

This month I received the Tarte smooth operator finishing powder, Befine exfoliator, the Thank me later eye shadow primer, a pacifica lipstick and a pair of pink tweezers Lets start with the hits! I love Tarte so I’ll use the finishing powder for sure, I’ve never tried it before, but I’ve heard good things! The exfoliator will of course get used as well as the lipstick. I haven’t used any of…

Hello lovlies! This Christmas my best friend signed me up for 3 months of Birchbox! I have been loving my Ipsy so I’m pretty darn excited to get to be able to have 2 subscription boxes coming to me for a few months! I realize it’s now January, but hey. Better late than never! The products in this box I was most excited about were the candle which smells incredible, and the fragrance. I love…

I have the semi-sweet chocolate bar and I use it almost every day. When I saw this one with the pink packaging and the heart shaped shadow pans I knew it had to be mine!

All the colors are very smooth, blendable and pretty.

I love a good mix of mattes, shimmers, nudes and brights and this palette has it all.

Not much to say about this except it’s perfect.
