Hear me out on this one! I know all of these National Whatever Days are meant to drive consumerism but I have a suggestion for National Lipstick Day: shop your own stash!

Back when Nordstrom was having a pop-up natural beauty sale, I picked up a few items. One of them was from a brand I had never heard of before, Truly Organic. They had a few things that sparked my interest, but I didn't want to regret my purchase so I just stuck to one item, the Hemp Oil Facial Serum.

This month I had the pleasure of going to New York with Angela from Beautyandthecat to catch up with her counterpart, Renee. I took this time to stock up on some beauty products as well as explore what's new in the world of Asian beauty. Here's my final haul.

Check out my lip swatch video for two of the Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips 2 lipsticks. I picked up Viva la Vergara and Glowing Jen. Review coming soon!

Do you want your cheeks to bask in all of the glory? Well, I do. Today I am sharing five of my favorite blushes that are easy to use and beautiful on.

Dior Rouge 999

One of my latest blush purchases, the Dior Rouge Blush in 999 is one of the prettiest I own, and will probably ever own. It also pretty much eliminates the need for highlighter, as it has very fine shimmer in it. It's a tomato-like red and absolutely gorgeous on my skin.
