Most Used Brushes: May 2015
I'm not that educated when it comes to brushes, but one thing I have learned over the past couple of years is that brushes absolutely do make a difference! They can help your shadow blend more seamlessly, some hairs are better for certain types of products (creams vs. powder for example)...but a lot
Cover FX Custom Cover Drops
I love the idea of the Cover FX Custom Cover Drops - add it to any of your existing products to make a foundation or tinted product...best part...you get to decide on the coverage!
Beauty Thoughts V
Over the past few months, various blog posts of different subject matter have inspired me to do this:
Clinique Cheek Pops In Pink Pop, Heather Pop & Pansy Pop
I've been wearing the Clinique Cheek Pops for about the past month! I've been rotating colors and also layering them on top of Burberry Earthy (geez forgot how much I love this one!!) or Burberry Misty blushes. Bottom line: I LOVE these things!!!
Aesop Parsley Seed Cleansing Masque
The Aesop Parsley Seed Cleansing Masque had been on my list forEVER...one of those items that I always forgot about but then I'd see a video or post with it and say AH, why don't I have that yet??!!! That all changed during the Birthday Month!
Reader Collaboration #2
This has nothing to do with the Reader Collaboration, but I can't pass up an opportunity to share this funny...it's not new, but I only recently saw it!
Boscia Konjac Cleansing Cloth
You know how you keep keep trying different versions of the same product, hoping one brand or iteration might be the one you'll love??!! For some reason, I'm slightly obsessed with finding a konjac sponge I'll love and I keep trying different ones thinking one will stick. Ok, maybe it's just me?!! H
Powder Mini Reviews: Guerlain Meteorites In 03 Medium, and Dior Diorskin Nude Air Healthy Glow Invisible Powder In 020 Light Beige
I was really excited when I read that Guerlain was reformulating the pressed meteorites, mainly because the promo pics showed a pressed powder with multiple colors vs. the single color of the old pressed meteorites. I was hoping the new Meteorites Compact might be close in finish to Wulong.

New In: April 2015
I had good intentions to not buy much for April, but then the Sephora sale hit...and a few other random 'needs' popped up!
Mini Reviews: Sachajuan Hair Repair and Goldfaden MD Hands To Heart Anti-Aging + Brightening Hand Treatment
First tried this as a deluxe sample and WOW WOW is all I can say!! After the 3rd try, I ran to purchase the full size so I wouldn't be without it.
Empties: March 2015
Thought I would start showing you my Empties in a slightly different order...the first picture is of products not mentioned on the blog before.
Beauty Pet Peeves
Some beauty pet peeves are unforgivable...like this...
Return To Sender VI
It's been awhile since my last Return to Sender post, which I guess means I've been loving a lot of product and sometimes not bought much!! Here are the items that have missed the mark, and are getting returned...
Swatched: Burberry Pale Barley & Rosewood Wet And Dry Silk Eyeshadows (New Formula)
I was quite taken aback at the news that Burberry reformulated their shadows. WHY???? No, really...W H Y??? Makes no sense, but goes along with the haphazard nature of the Burberry line since they decided to take everything in house - ahem, referring to the untimeliness of their releases, lack of br
Indie Lee Brightening Cleanser
Strawberries. Strawberry jam. If you like those things then you should try this cleanser because it smells like the freshest strawberry jam!! It's not overpowering in any way, but definitely noticeable...even Mr. G said, WOW what is that??!!
Swatched: Guerlain Les Fumes
You know how you have some things you can't seem to let go of? For me, one of those things is Guerlain Les Fumes. I don't wear it often enough, and have tried to purge it many times...but...I...CAN'T. Something about the colors mesmerize me. And really...swatches don't do it justice. An oldie but go
NUDE Skincare Perfect Cleanse Omega Cleansing Jelly
I wanted to try this for awhile and finally was able to score a sample with a Sephora order. Best way I can describe this: a thick, cleansing balm jelly. I know...the word jelly threw me off but I finally understood once I squeezed it out of the sample packet. I was instantly hooked and waited
Soooo...I Turned 40...
Yep. It happened!!These days, I don't think 40 is really that old. 100 years ago it was ancient and I would probably have grandkids by now! But it's not 100 years ago. And I don't have grandkids. I don't even have kids!
