So I recently saw a Youtube video of  Jackie Aina praising and applying her setting powder before her foundation. I have never thought to do that and was intrigued so I gave it a shot three days in a row. I thought it might be good at keeping my oil breakouts at bay. Here's what happened and here's what I used:

Is it better to have a blush that's not very pigmented but buildable, or a blush that's overly pigmented and you have to be careful of how much you use? Well, I think it depends on who you ask, but in the case of the Milani Baked Blushes, I am conflicted! I am showing off two beautiful blushes today, Bella Rosa and Deliziosa Pink. These aren't new, but they're new to me, heavily pigmented, and just gorgeous on dark skin.

Now through June 16th, Milk Makeup is having a 25% off Friends and Family sale. If you've been curious about the brand, this is a great incentive to try some of their stuff out. I am a huge fan, by the way, of their multitasking and innovative nature.

Shop exclusively through this link through June 12th. Available through June 16th

Listen, I have never been a huge fan of lip glosses. In fact, I would call myself the self-proclaimed lipstick queen. I recently had the opportunity to try some new lip glosses from Lipstick Queen's new line, Reign & Shine. Everything I dislike about glosses, Lipstick Queen has found a way to perfect. I chose three shades I thought would best suit my skin tone: Mistress of Mauve, my favorite of the bunch, Countess of Cocoa, and Empress of Apricot.

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!
