Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Face Palette Review

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Face Palette Review

Over the past few years, Charlotte Tilbury launched face palettes for the holiday season. None of which would work for my skin tone. As a part of the holiday 2022 collection, Charlotte Tilbury released the Pillow Talk Face Palette in 2 shades, Fair/Medium and Medium/Deep. I picked up the one for deep skin tones. Did Charlotte Tilbury finally create a face palette for deep skin tones? Let’s get…

Elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter Review & Comparison

Elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter Review & Comparison

In my previous post reviewing the Huda Beauty GloWish Skin Tint, I mentioned how my makeup style has changed over the years. These days I’m more into the effortless no-makeup, makeup aesthetic, and foundations that give a natural glow to the skin. So you can imagine my excitement when the Elf announced the Halo Glow Liquid Filter. My immediate thought was, “could the Elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter…

GloWish Skin Tint Long - Term Review

My thought on GloWish by Huda Beauty after a year of consistent use.

Skin tints are having a moment in the makeup industry right now. People are moving away from the full coverage, cake-face makeup, and opting for a more natural, light coverage. If you had told me a year ago that I’d ditch my full coverage foundation for a skin tint, I would’ve said you’re crazy.I’ve been in a long-term committed relationship with full coverage, and matte foundations for a while…

Lime Crime Venus XL Palette Review & #SwatchesOnDarkSkin #LimeCrime #VenusXL

I’ve developed a newfound love for pink and berry eyeshadow looks and it all started with the Lime Crime Venus XL palette. I know that Lime Crime has had a shady pastand I’ve been hesitant to support the brand. But the color story of the Venus XL palette caught my eye as I was wandering through Nordstrom. My reservations about the brand stopped me from buying the palette but I couldn’t stop…

I returned my Fenty Beauty foundation, here's why!

I’m a little heartbroken about writing this post 😩. A few weeks back I posted a review raving about the Fenty Beauty Foundation. I absolutely loved that foundation! But after about 5 months of wearing the foundation, I realized or finally admitted to the fact that it was breaking me out. Fenty Beauty Foundation = Break-outs in a bottle! When I first tried the foundation, I didn’t have any issues…

Fenty Beauty Review | My thoughts after 2 months of using Fenty Beauty

Is Fenty Beauty by Rihanna worth all the hype?

I’m probably the last person in the blogosphere to review the new Fenty Beauty by Rihanna makeup line. I wanted to take time playing with the products for a couple weeks rather than giving you a first impression. We all know that not all first impressions are lasting. But Fenty Beauty has made quite the impression on me. So much so that I had to pick up some items from the holiday 2017 Galaxy…

Fenty Beauty Galaxy Collection Review | Worth the hype?

Can we talk about how Fenty Beauty by Rihanna has been killing the game lately!? If for some reason you’ve been living under a rock, Rihanna launched her makeup line Fenty Beauty, last month and its been all the rage. I do have some products from the initial launch but have yet to post a review (it’s coming soon though). However, since then, Rihanna announced her Galaxy holiday collection which…

ABH SUBCULTURE PALETTE | HUGE FAIL

ABH SUBCULTURE PALETTE | HUGE FAIL

So last week Anastasia Beverly Hills released the sister eyeshadow palette to Modern Renaissance called Subculture. According to ABH, Subculture is a darker, grungier palette that should compliment Modern Renaissance. They describe Modern Renaissance as day and Subculture as night. My first thought when I saw the promo pictures on Instagram was that the colors don’t go well together. However, as…

Holy grail MAC products | Haul

Holy grail MAC products | Haul

There was once a time when MAC Cosmetics was my favorite makeup brand. In fact, my very first “high-end” purchase was from MAC. I remember leaving the MAC store with my Fix + and Studio Finish concealer feeling all excited (like Mama we made it! lol). Needless to say, that was the start of a very unhealthy obsession with MAC. Although the company has sort of lost its wave in the beauty community…
