I was able to purchase The Balm Meet Matte Hughes Long-Lasting Liquid Lipstick (reg. $17.00) over the Black Friday/Cyber Monday Weekend at 50% off… Man! I can’t believe that was over a month ago! I picked up colors that I thought might flatter my skin tone: Trustworthy, Loyal, and Sentimental. Top: Trustworthy; Middle: Sentimental; Bottom: Loyal Dried down Trustworthy Sentimental…

I decided to grab YSL’s Chinese New Year Blush palette because I had nothing to lose (except $47.00) and I need all the luck I can get for 2017! The packaging is what really drew me in. I really love the red clashing nicely against the gold. The palette is made of a combination of some lightweight metal, which I…

Sometimes, I know right away whether or not I like something. Masks are one of those things I am very quick to judge because you have to slather it on your entire face and sit with it. The Skinfood Egg White Pore Mask almost got the trash bucket, but I gave this multiple chances and it turns out, I actually like…

As much as I love sheet masks, patches have never really agreed with me; it’s probably more like I never agree with them. I suppose a big reason I should probably stop buying patches is because I use them once and that’s it. But that’s just my personality; when it comes to sheet masks, even, I have to really love…

Kevyn Aucoin’s Sensual Skin Enhancer ($48.00) was a total surprise for me. My local Sephora recently put a section of the brand’s products in its store and I went a-swatching. I was taken aback by the coverage and how little you needed to achieve a full-coverage face (and also how long it took me to discover this treasure). I was…

The first time I laid eyes on Givenchy’s Prisme Libre Loose Powder in Voile Audacieux ($54.00), I felt an overwhelming sense of infatuation. I loved everything about it, from its packaging — especially its packaging — to the different colors, to the idea of the powder itself. I was in love. Or so I thought I was…

I was introduced to Clarins Multi-Active Jour Cream SPF 20 ($54.00) via a deluxe-sized sample. The sample of this moisturizer convinced me to go ahead and purchase the full-sized version. That’s significant for me because there aren’t many products that have made me go out and buy the full-sized version, especially in skincare.

The Pat McGrath Labs Metalmorphosis Copper Kit ($60.00) is the most artsy makeup in my collection, and I’m sure that has something to do with the way it was marketed. I need more time for a complete review, but I wanted to share some of the photos I took with the look I created with the kit.

Bite Beauty Edgy Neutrals ($26.00 each) is a limited edition collection, however, there are some repromotes, including Molasses that I already own and adore. When I first saw the Edgy Neutrals collection, I side-eyed it because I didn’t think the colors would suit me. I went in Sephora and swatched five of the eight available shades.

As much as I hate to admit it, I am a sucker for things that smell like honey; more specifically, things that smell like the Papa Recipe Honey Bombee masks. I picked up the Sana Honeyshca All In One Serum and Gel from Everyday Beauty Lab in NYC. I knew it was an empty buy but it smelled so good!…
