Sleek Eyeshadow Collection and Review
December 12, 2016
I love doing collection posts because it gives me a chance to really look at what I own from each brand. I feel like I can appreciate my products more once I really look at them in depth. Today I figured I’d write about the Sleek i-Divine palettes. I got these, along with a few … More Sleek Eyeshadow Collection and Review
November Favorites
December 2, 2016
Is it just me or did the month go by kind of slowly? Halloween seems like forever ago and I feel like so much has happened – in terms of course work for my university. Because of that, I haven’t had the time to wear a lot of makeup. Most days it comes down to … More November Favorites
Essie Gel Couture First Impression
November 26, 2016
Today I have a first impression of the new Essie formula – the Gel Couture line. I got the shade Stitch by Stitch and the necessary top coat. This is a pretty toned down pink shade that I think is perfect for every occasion. It reminds me a lot of Essie’s Eternal Optimist in the … More Essie Gel Couture First Impression
Who Did It Best: Sparkly Lipgloss
October 25, 2016
MAC Dazzleglass “Money, Honey”, Buxom Full On Lip Polish “Celeste”, Anastasia Beverly Hills “Sunset Strip” Buxom Full On Lip Polish in Celeste This looks like crushed diamonds on the lips, at least to me. It’s sparkly and shiny. It has a minty/tingling feeling and is supposed to plump the lips, while it also has a … More Who Did It Best: Sparkly Lipgloss
The Product that Made Waterproof Mascara Wearable Again
October 13, 2016
 I’ve always had a slight aversion to waterproof mascara. I hated how hard it is to take off at night and how it makes my lashes feel brittle sometimes. Because of this, I spent years wearing non-waterproof mascara on a daily basis. Once in a while I would apply waterproof mascara, but only on special … More The Product that Made Waterproof Mascara Wearable Again
Who Did It Best: Eye Primers
September 9, 2016
I’ve been using the Urban Decay Primer Potion for probably over five years now, but there were some things that I didn’t like about it. When I heard Tati rave about the Wet n Wild Photofocus Eye Primer on her channel, I figured it was worth a shot. Here’s my comparison of the two – … More Who Did It Best: Eye Primers
August Favorites
September 8, 2016
Today I’m discussing my favorites for the month of August. This was a weird month for me. I had just gotten home from being abroad and school doesn’t begin again for me until mid-September. I didn’t really have much going on so I rarely put on a full face of makeup. There are some products, … More August Favorites
Color Focus: Autumn Greens
August 31, 2016
It’s almost my favorite time of year. We’ll soon be wearing heeled boots with oversized sweaters and skinny jeans (the easiest outfit that still looks fairly put together). On our faces we’ll wear darker lip shades and eyeshadows of the gold, cranberry, and green variety. There’s something about fall fashion and makeup that I absolutely … More Color Focus: Autumn Greens
Social Media Made Me Buy It
August 30, 2016
Before I started religiously watching YouTube, scrolling through Instagram, and reading blogs, the only makeup I owned were things that I would wear all of the time. Since then, I’ve accumulated a large collection. A lot of my products are things that I’ve seen on social media platforms, some of which I’ve purchased almost solely … More Social Media Made Me Buy It
