A wise friend challenged me to take a single eyeshadow quad with me on my vacation to South Africa. But I’m a rebel and apparently I can not be reasoned with. In my defense we were traveling over two major holidays, both with the potential for pretty varied outings so I wasn’t really certain if […]
Read more "Travel Makeup – South Africa Edition"Welcome to the fifth and final installment of the swatch fest that has been my Shiro eyeshadow sample sale haul! (I’ve been working on getting that description shorter but I think I can safely say that I have actually managed to make it longer in each post). Let’s just dive right in shall we? This […]

When I was placing my order, I was hoping to find a few new neutral staples (things like blending shades and transition shades). It turns out that most of the neutral shades available are actually from Detrivore Cosmetics so I’m dedicating this particular post to […]
Read more "Shiro Eyeshadow Samples – Part 2"Back in September, Shiro had a really good sale on eyeshadow samples ($.70 per baggie!) so naturally I showed great restraint and only picked up a few things. Ok, ok, you got me, I picked up 22 things. 22 counts as a few right? In the interest of not writing a Melville-esque post, I’ll break […]
Read more "Shiro Eyeshadow Samples – Part 1"A while back I ordered three nail polishes from ILNP and today I want to take a quick look at the last polish from that order, Bishop.

Read more "ILNP – Bishop"I promise that we’re going to talk about empties in a minute but first I’m going to tell you why I can never go to CVS ever again. It was a dark and stormy night (actually it was just really foggy…) and I had just jumped out of the shower, put on my pajama’s, was […]
Read more "November 2015 Empties"First things first, I feel the need to state that there are going to be a LOT of photos in this post. You have been warned.
