BECCA Backlight Priming Filter
After not being entirely impressed with the Tom Ford Complexion Enhancing Primer, I was excited to see this BECCA Backlight Priming Filter pop up.
Tag: Addicted To Blush
Claire @ From the Land of Lorp tagged me several months back to do the Addicted to Blush tag! It's funny because I don't really consider myself a blush addict, even though it's the one thing that always perks my face up! Blush lover...yes, that's what I prefer ha ha!! Lately I've been
Burberry Kisses Lip Gloss in Cameo Nude & Melon, Burberry First Kiss Glossy Lip Balm in Rose Blush
I've been in slightly less of a lipstick mood, and have wanted to venture into glosses again. I used to have a lot more, but my gloss stash is so tiny that I feel as though there are only a few that I end up wearing over and over: Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil, Burberry Lip Glow in Tren
Burberry Wet & Dry Glow Eyeshadow in 002 Nude
I'll tell you up front I absolutely love this shadow! The color is gorgeous, it's pigmented, but not so much that it's tough to blend out...quite the contrary it blends out and with other colors beautifully. I thought the shimmer might be too much at first, but I don't find it over the top - kinda p
Charlotte Tilbury 'The Perfect Nude Kiss' Set
I've always struggled to find a good nude lipstick. You know...one that doesn't make me look dead, yet doesn't give me Barbie lips. Every now and again, I'll see one that looks interesting, and inevitably not like it and give up hope - deciding instead I'm better off just wearing lip balm! Enter the
Mini Reviews: Deborah Lippmann Gel Lab Pro, Rahua Finishing Treatment, R+Co One Prep Spray, R+Co Jackpot Styling Cream
Mini review time! Here are a few hair and nail things I've been trying out...
Tom Ford Fall 2015: Illuminating Powder in Translucent Pink, Complexion Enhancing Primer in Pink Glow & Peach Glow
I have mixed feelings about both of these products. Neither is a complete love, nor a complete dislike...
African Botanics Marula Intense Skin Repair (Body) Balm
Bronzer Bunny told me I should try the African Botanics Marula Intense Skin Repair Balm several times last year, especially noting how much it helped with her scars. I finally got around to trying it, and can't believe I waited so long because I love it!
Counter Swatches: Tom Ford Fall 2015 - Complexion Enhancing Primers in Pink & Peach & Skin Illuminating Powder Duo in Moodlight
Hi, guys! Last night I watched THIS (start at 10:40) haul video from Tarababyz, where she talks about Tom Ford Fall 2015. She didn't have the whole collection, but did get the Skin Illuminating Powder Duo in Moonlight and the Illuminating Powder in Translucent Pink. After hearing her desc
Bioderma Photoderm Laser SPF50+
My latest 2 SPF fails have been the Bioderma Photoderm Max SPF50+ Milk, and the Kiehl's Super Fluid UV Defense SPF50+. The Bioderma Milk's finish was too shiny and tacky - even under foundation and powdered it looked much too dewy for my taste. If I added another layer of powder things started to lo
Taking A Break
Hi, everyone!! Feeling the need to take a break from the blog. I'll be around social media a bit here & there, but for the most part I'm going to step away from that as well. I'll be back!!! But for now I want to clear up some headspace & enjoy other things :-)
New In: May 2015
So this is what I ended up with, vs. the entirety of what I purchased. There was more, but some things were returned right away or purged for various reasons so I didn't include them. The few items not pictured but that I thought warranted mentioning I talked about in THIS post.
Update On The Big Purge
If you missed the details of the Big Purge, you can catch up HERE!! I had gathered quite a bit in that purge pile, but I definitely wasn't finished. I sorted through everything, even makeup bags, at least twice...but most categories I sorted through several times.
Mini Review: RMS Skin2Skin Foundation Brush & Skin2Skin Blush Brush
On Instagram, I posted the picture above of the new RMS brushes. The swirly one on the left is the RMS Skin2Skin Foundation Brush $38, and the one on the right is the RMS Skin2Skin Cheek Brush $34 (made to be used with their Lip2Cheek pots).
Recap: May 2015
Thought I'd start doing a monthly recap to let you know what's been going on in beauty and general life! Not sure if I'll get to it every month, but thought May was a good time to start since there were some products I tried that won't get their own proper review post (or it won't come for a bit)&nb
Skin Inc Ceramide Serum
Bronzer Bunny told me about Skin Inc a long time ago, and it's been on my wish list ever since. Skin Inc's premise is that everybody's skin is different, and as such you should have your own personalized serum...who wouldn't want that!
A Purging State Of Mind
I've been on a purging rampage the past couple of weeks - nail polish, makeup, skincare, body care, samples...nothing is safe! Seriously, it's been an overwhelming need to purge and it came on quite urgently and quickly!! So what's going on???
Viseart Eyeshadow Palette In 01 Neutral Matte
Aaaaaaah Viseart... This was OOS on Sephora forever, and when it finally came back in stock I made the purchase even though it was right before the last sale (I was afraid it'd be gone again before I could get it on sale!). Lemme say...I'm very happy with this new palette!!
