Essie Topless and Barefoot ($9.00) is described as a soft beige pink. On me, it is exactly that, and let me tell you… it is gorgeous and long-lasting for a regular nail polish! I really like the way it looks against my skin tone. It’s also very work-appropriate. I mentioned that it’s long-lasting; for me a nail polish generally lasts…

Behold this really weird product! It’s by no means new and most people into K-beauty have already tried it. I would say the Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask ($10.00) would be part of a K-beauty starter pack. Oddly enough, this product has a learning curve.

Lip tints are something you have to be in to, to enjoy them. For me, it’s all about that natural look. It’s a great compromise to a full, bold lip; it makes me feel younger and more fresh for some reason, and I really like the idea of not worrying about reapplying because they last all day long. The only…

I finally got a chance to try the liquid lipsticks from Anastasia Beverly Hills ($20.00). Not sure what took me so long to get a hold of these, perhaps the competition in the liquid lipstick realm is just too fierce. Kathryn and Veronica are mortal enemies, I’m afraid. The performance of these two are so opposite to each other. I…

My favorite part of the holiday season are all the festive smells.

I really love when brands listen to consumers. Hask has consistently released effective, sulfate-free shampoos, which I really love because my hair is naturally very dry; I know ladies with my hair type would be glad for this brand! For the past several years, and before I became acquainted with Hask’s cleansing products (I have previously used their hair placenta…

I spent three full days in New York over the holiday weekend with Angela and Renee from Beautyandthecat and it was great; one of the best. There was nothing out of the ordinary; there was shopping, there was eating, and there was karaoke! I suppose it was more of a much-needed distraction from all the happenings in the world. I…

I am nearly out of my first bottle of Vitamin C Suspension ($5.80) and Alpha Arbutin 2% ($8.90) from The Ordinary, a subsidiary of Deciem, and I reckon it’s time for a report. Vitamin C Suspension Deciem claims that this is pure and stable 23% Vitamin C, an L-Ascorbic Acid powder, in this case. It’s important to note that Deciem markets this…
