Color correctors have gotten so much hype lately. I really don’t technically have a use for them the way most people use them: to conceal dark circles, so I use them to brighten up my eye area where my horrible bags reside. I was most interested in the YSL Violet Touche Eclat, but after swatching, I quickly realized Apricot Bisque…

I have it on really good authority (stats, baby) that a lot of people are crazy about Dior’s Dior Addict lipsticks. So when I went a’swatching at KIKO, the Glossy Dream Sheer Lipsticks ($12.00) instantly reminded me a lot of those Dior Addict lipsticks! But how do they live up to Dior Addict?

Say it ain’t so! When I first came across ColourPop Swift, I wasn’t so sure about it. I didn’t think it was something that could be useful for my skin tone, but decided to go ahead with the $8.00 purchase. The blush is pretty creamy and exceeded my expectations, in terms of color.

If I had to describe my work style, I’d say I am the type of person that believes you should look your best because you never know who you will run into. I make an exception for Fridays, which are casual and I opt for jeans, even though there are those in my circle that scoff at the thought of…

The Milani Amore Matte Lip Cremes ($8.99) boast transfer-resistant, highly saturated color. It’s the velvet type formula and smells like birthday cake! These two colors are my favorite of the four that I purchased. They are transfer-resistant, but very drying, even with lip balm. As the day progresses and my lips become more dry, my lips begin to peel and…

When the Nars Velvet Matte Skin Tint ($44.00) came out, I was hard-pressed to have it. I did want to swatch it first because there was only one true color that looked like it might be right for me and that was Polynesia. It sank into my skin like it belonged there and dried down beautifully matte. I had to…

With so much going on in the beauty realm, it’s hard to stay focused on passion. I started this blog because long ago, I discovered I had a love for beauty; all things beautiful. Things that make me feel beautiful, make me look beautiful, and are just beautiful to the eye of the beholder, which in this case is me.…
