Kiehl’s’ Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado is Awesome, But There’s …
I had been on an “eye creams are a waste of time, I need injectables” kick for a little while until I actually ran out of eye cream and was longing for a replacement. It turns out, they aren’t a waste of time and when I don’t have it, I want it! For me, I get all caught up in…

2018 Makeup Favorites: Products I Couldn’t Put Down
Wow, what a year 2018 has been! It’s a year I drastically cut back on makeup and skincare purchases (did NOT make Sephora Rouge this year!) and shopped my stash a little bit more, especially toward the end of the year.

Dior Lip Glow to the Max
Sooooo much better than the Matte Lip Glow! I just had to start this post off by saying that because if you recall, I was not impressed with the matte version of the Dior Lip Glows.

Curating a True Nude Lip For My Skin Tone
I often wonder when the beauty industry will call “nude lipsticks” for what they are: beige. I’m guilty of it too, if only by social construction. However, it turns out, my lips are not beige; they are actually almost the same color as my face. So for me, a true nude lipstick is going to be something in the brown…

One of the best and definitely most effective skincare products I have purchased is actually a tool: a facial steamer.

My Journey to Straight Teeth
I just want to say I wasn’t going to do this. Mainly because I was really, really, really self-conscious about my teeth before I got braces.

The Prettiest Blush You’ll Ever Own: Dior Rouge Blush in 999

The Color Purple: Color Contouring with Make Up For Ever Eggplant
Blush was my least favorite color cosmetic until I found the Make Up For Ever Artist Shadow in Eggplant. Yep, you read that right.
