Cleansing water really exploded last year. I hadn’t heard of it before then, so I decided to grab two of them to test, to see how I like them. After all, I love the idea of swiping a few cotton pads across my face and just going straight to bed, but does it really work? Is it really just water?…

I am in love with Ben Nye Banana Powder. Strangely, I haven’t reviewed it. A product already having so many reviews has never stopped me from reviewing it, but Ben Nye’s banana powder has a lot of reviews (I have Topaz too but it’s too orange for me and I hate it). One kind of meh thing about Ben Nye’s…

I became curious about squalane when I saw Biossance (100 ml/3.38 fl. oz.) selling theirs for $58.00 (works out to $17.16/fl. oz.) and thought what’s up with squalane?! I looked around and also saw the one from Peter Thomas Roth (30 ml/1 fl. oz.)for $38.00 and Indie Lee (30 ml/1 fl. oz.) retailing for $32.00. I certainly noticed that The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane…

When the Giorgio Armani Lip Magnets ($38.00) came out, people seemed really into them. I held off because they’re pricey, I am trying to be more cautious of over-hyped products, and I was just really unsure about the colors. Also, it’s not like I need another liquid lipstick but whatevs. I love the Maestro Fusion Foundation and the Eye Tints…

The NARS Loaded Eyeshadow Palette ($59.00) is a very warm palette and it’s very brown — almost boring you can say, but that’s the reason I bought it. Nars describes it as neutral, and ok, I accept that, but it’s also quite warm. I wanted something fresh and new for more natural looks for my 9-5. A couple of things…

I recently placed an order from the personalized hair care company, Function of Beauty. I found out about Function of Beauty through the ladies over at beautyandthecat and let 👏 me 👏 tell 👏 you 👏 something! This shampoo and conditioner is great! I was initially skeptical because I didn’t think there would be many options for my hair type,…

This review has sort of been a long time coming. Mainly because I have been trying to get myself to love this stuff, but alas! The Sunday Riley Blue Moon Tranquility Cleansing Balm has some real issues I just couldn’t overlook. To top that off, the joy factor is pretty low on this on too. My skin type Oily What…

ColourPop Blotted Lips ($5.00) are supposed to be a sheer matte formula lipstick that leaves a light-to-medium tint on the lips. What an accurate description! When I first heard about Blotted Lips, I thought they were nothing more than their lippie stix in a smaller package. Nope! I settled on Lexi, a cool-toned red, and Deja Vu a pink-nude. Top: Deja Vu;…

I recently took a gander in Sephora and saw the highly talked about Nars Banc de Sable highlighter palette ($49.00). Apparently, Banc de Sable is translated as “sand bank” which is really surprising because I thought it was going to be something more provocative. Nonetheless, here are the swatches!

Have you read my review of the Joseon Dynasty Cream? If not, head on over and give it a read because the Secret Key Starting Treatment Cream is a really good dupe for the Joseon Dynasty Cream, and guess what? It’s cheap, cheap!
