e.l.f. Eyeshadow Palettes

Many of the products were misses, but there were a few gems (like the brushes). As a budding beauty addict, it was a great way for me to try out a bunch of different colors and ideas without breaking…

MAC x Patrick Starrr Oh No She Beta Don’t Kit

MAC x Patrick Starrr is back for Fall 2018 with the Destination Diva collection! They seem to be in it for the long haul – no complaints from me! I’ve really enjoyed their seasonal collabs (starting in Holiday 2017, with Spring 2018 and Summer 2018 launches as well).

The Destination Diva collection comprises two kits for divas, each with an eyeshadow quad and liquid lipstick. The two kits: Oh No…

Too Faced Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer

Tarte Shape Tape was one of my favorite concealers. It pretty much ticked all the boxes for me when I wanted full coverage. I don’t support Tarte as a brand anymore, so no more Shape Tape for me. Since, I’ve been on the hunt for a new concealer to fill its role.

Too Faced just launched their Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer*, which looked like a promising replacement to…

Cream Highlighters for a No-Makeup Dewy Glow

Highlighting is one of my most favorite makeup trends. I love all the highlights, from a subtle sheen that adds a little bit of dimension to the “I don’t sweat, I glisten” look to a visible-from-space pop.

Lately, I’ve been all about using versatile cream highlighters to get my dewy glow. While I love powder highlighters, sometimes they can look like they’re sitting on top of skin. Cream…

MAC x Aaliyah Collection

The customer-requested and long-awaited MAC x Aaliyah collection is almost here!

This limited edition collection is a tribute to iconic R&B artist Aaliyah, who left this world too soon. When I was in middle school, I begged my mom for baggy pants like Aaliyah would wear. Her voice was beautiful and her style was just so cool. This MAC collection is a great way to showcase what a mark she left on…

Nourishing Skincare Faves

My skin has been pretty good lately! I was finally able to try some new products in March after terrible skin in February forced me to put testing on hold. I haven’t gone crazy trying too many products at once, which is really helping me identify what works and what doesn’t.

I’ve found a few nourishing products to repair my skin that I’ve been able to use consistently this spring. They fit really…
