Project Wear All The Lipstick! Round 1

I’ve never counted how many tubes of lipstick I own, but it’s a number that truly qualifies as a collection, not just “a lot”. As a collector of all things makeup, I think that’s pretty rad. However, I do find that for the most part I tend to stick to the same handful of lipstick […]

Nail Of The Week: Sally Hansen Loden Green + Covergirl Forever Fawn

Forever Fawn is my absolute favorite nude nail polish. It’s a very close match for my skin tone and because it is not 100% opaque it looks incredibly natural. Another bonus? If I encounter a nail staining debacle, but still want to try my hand at negative space nail polish, I can use this to […]

Stuff I’ve Used Up – AKA Mini Review Time!

Let’s talk trash! ROC Deep Wrinkle Serum – I didn’t notice much improvement to any wrinkles with this, but it did make my skin very soft. The only reason I’m not repurchasing right away is because I want to go back to using an AHA for a while. I might repurchase later down the road […]

Nail of the Week: Formula X Brushed Metallics in Determined

Determined really reminds me of MAC’s Blue Brown pigment. I’m going to carry on trying to describe it further but I’m warning you, this is probably going to go downhill fast so fasten your seat-belts! The base color of Determined is a cool brown that makes me think of milk chocolate (mmmm…chocolate…). The brown base […]

Wet n Wild Fall 2014 Megalast Lipsticks and Color Icon Eyeshadows

Picture heavy post I’ve been stalking my local drugstores for a few weeks looking for the Wet n Wild Fall collection and FINALLY found it! I found the lipsticks all hiding in plain sight in an end display at Walgreens but the display was labeled with all the shade names for the permanent range so […]

Maybelline Color Elixer’s – Swatchapalooza

I can’t freaking make up my mind on these gloss/balm/hybrid things by Maybelline. Sometimes I love the colors and the wear time and sometimes I really hate the smell and the weird application. I actually pulled these out to throw them away because I never use them but then I swatched them and was like […]
