I feel like it’s not very often that makeup and beauty products go on sale unless there is some sort of friends and family or holiday promotion going on. Well, Sephora has had some goodies on sale for quite a while that may have flown under your radar, with all the new beauty eye candy we get every month.

Since I didn’t have access to my entire makeup stash, I wanted to make sure I brought products with me that were trustworthy and long-lasting. Here’s a product breakdown: Base Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Foundation Eyes Urban Decay Naked Palette Dior Pump N…

As many of you may know, Nordstrom has a Karl Lagerfeld + ModelCo makeup collaboration, exclusively available on their website. I went into the store and was pleasantly surprised to find that the collection was in store! I made out with one lip product, the Lip Lights in Modern Muse, as I was initially going in there for something else.

It’s a little kitty cat eye I made with Make Up For Ever Aqua Paint (L22). I started in the middle of my eye and brought it out just slightly. It’s unassuming, mysterious if detected, and still very professional. Also, I just found out that Princess Diana wore blue eyeliner so… yeah. All the way!

I purchased The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA to combat my dark acne scars. This may be the first product I have purchased with the intention of using it for one thing and it ended up being effective for something else. Have a look at some before and after photos, paying close attention the texture of the skin on…

In case you haven’t heard, there’s a limited edition Karl Lagerfield x ModelCo makeup collection that hit Nordstrom today. ModelCo is an Australian brand that I am unfamiliar with in practice; I don’t own anything from the brand but have heard of them. And of course, I have heard of Karl Lagerfield! Perhaps this is a nice introduction to the…

Good day to you. Here’s a look I put together, perfect for a day-long event such as a graduation, where you don’t have the time to retouch. I focused on products that last all day on my oily skin and were vibrant enough to be noticeable, beautiful in photos, and completely wearable for all settings and events. Base Becca Ultimate…

If there is one thing I have come to appreciate about having sparse brows, is that I get to play with the shape of my brows without looking too crazy. I’ve been experimenting with my brows for some time now but I always go back to micro brow pencils, designed to be really precise and intentional when filling in your…

Here’s my most recent haul from The Ordinary and some initial thoughts. Mandelic Acid 10% Hands down, my favorite of the bunch, and just may be my favorite purchase ever from The Ordinary! I am seeing such quick changes in my skin and I’ve only used about a quarter of the acid. Still testing but should have a full review…

The Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Concealer was love at first swatch for me. I added this to my wishlist and vowed that it would be mine! Fast forward to the Sephora sale, and I picked this up along with the always-sold-out Selfie Kit. I opted for the darkest shade, 6W, as I wanted to mainly use this on my hyperpigmentation…

I know I look like Hannibal Lecter but hear me out! If you’re a person that loves sheet masking you’re gonna wanna try this. And if you’re already doing this, more power to you!

Spring is here and with spring comes the sun. I love the sun, but walking around outside without sun protection is a recipe for a dark ass forehead. When I used to go to yoga regularly, I was always caught in the sun trap; that feeling that the sun seemed to only want to love on my forehead. Blessed are…

A while back, Lorac released a set that included a full-sized blush, highlighter, and a sample-sized primer. I purchased the set sight unseen and used all of them together. It makes for a delicious combo and I especially loved the illuminating primer so much, I bought the full size.

When I look at this photo, the first thing that jumps out at me is my makeup but more on that later! I’m here today to talk about headbands! I used to be really into them, especially when I wore my natural hair relaxed. Eventually the love started to fade, but my fling with them has started back up. The…
