Not gonna lie, the new Nars Matte Bronzer in Punta Cana was a definite impulse purchase for me. I bought it feeling fairly confident that the shade would not show up on my skin as a bronzer. But hey, pandemics call for impulse purchases, it turns out! More on that later… but let’s talk about this bronzer! Once I received…

I got it in the shade 3DRFF Amber Blonde and it looks really good. Check out my video review on it and see Kimani in action!

Hey y’all! Today I have a little sample of my collection of saved Instagram posts I like to look at when I am feeling uninspired. Most of them have the details in the caption if you want to give the looks a try using the same products. I likely have some dupes in my stash and if you do I…

Iconic. That’s the word that comes to mind when I think of Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. As a long time admirer of the supermodel world, those two are the most influential and prominent for me. I was browsing the Internets and came across a beauty collaboration that claims to be 100% exclusive to Bloomingdale’s, Lancome x Mert & Marcus. There…

Came across these photos and I am loving eveything about it from the haircut to the bright red lipstick. Take me back! I’m in between looks right now which sounds kinda crazy but this gave me some major inspo! I kind of want to bleach my hair and put my individual eyelashes on, but I am also pretty lazy and…

You know, I thought with this whole global pandemic thing that working from home would be fantastic. In the past, I thought I would enjoy a full-time work-from-home job because of the convenience, but I really love being in the city. I often remind myself that many people work from home and are successful at it, so maybe I just…

There’s nothing we need more right now than to take a deep breath and relax. Sometimes, it’s the simple things that get you through a trying time. Burning a candle for a few hours definitely helps me go to my happy place. I usually go for candles that are really fragrant. As far as scent, I’m an open book. Sometimes,…

Boy, do I love a neutral-pink, springtime shade! I picked up the Chanel Le Vernis in Daydream over a month ago and it took me another month to finally break it out and use it. This and one of the brand’s lipstick shades from the spring collection were instant purchases after seeing this image on Instagram:

Wigs are a gift and a curse, man. I love them so much because it makes managing that part of my life incredibly easy, plus I really love long hair. Lately, I have had the repetitive thought that maybe I should just shave it all off and start all over. I mean, I do go natural for two years and…

As a person with very sparse eyebrows, I am always looking for brow products that will make my life a lot easier when drawing my brows on. I really love pomades. The Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow is definitely a staple. The last pomade I bought and loved was Kat Von D’s brow pomade, which lasts longer than ABH’s. So…

I initially thought the Becca Ultimate Coverage Longwear Concealer was a replacement for one of my favorite concealers, the brand’s Ultimate Coverage Concealing Creme. While a lot of retail stores have discontinued that product, it is still on Becca’s website. So hopefully they will keep it on. This product is also great, especially for covering scars!
