Current Favorites

Hello! I currently have several half finished blog posts waiting for photos or editing but I really wanted to sit down and chat with you in a less formal kind of atmosphere. So this post won’t have many photos and there’s going to be quite a few non-makeup things. Fun right? Right! So let’s chat […]

Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette

I’m just going to say this right off the bat, I suspect that I hold a slightly unpopular opinion when it comes to the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette (henceforth known as MRP because I cannot for the life of me, spell “renaissance” correctly on my own). I think that this is a good, […]

August 2016 Empties

I cannot believe that August is already over and that I already have another batch of empties to show you. Madness I tell you! Skincare Only one skincare item this month actually and that’s another tube of CeraVe Skin Renewing Cream Serum. This has been my daytime moisturizer for just about the last year I […]

ILNP – Valentina

We are finally through all of the ILNP 2016 Summer Shimmers! (Except for the hot pink shade in the collection, I didn’t buy that one and got That Other Girl instead. That sounds so salacious!). From the ILNP website: Valentina is a uniquely delicate shimmer with a lovely twist! This ultra sheer beauty radiates stunning […]

ILNP – Lilac Bridges

We’re moving right along through the ILNP 2016 Summer Shimmers collection aren’t we! Today let’s take a look at the pastel purple in the collection. From the ILNP website: Lilac Bridges is just… wow! What we have here is an incredibly delicate lilac shade kissed with an assortment of gold shimmers for a heavenly finish. […]

Femme Fatale – Cosmic Owl

There is a whole family of rusty brown shades that is completely irresistible. You know the color I’m talking about; the browns with a bit of copper or gold, the browns that glow and have a little bit of a life of their own? Cosmic Owl by Femme Fatale is just such a shade. Let’s […]

ILNP – The Boulevard

Continuing the ILNP 2016 Summer Shimmers collection, we’re going to take a look at The Boulevard. The Boulevard is an unusual shade choice for summer but I’m definitely digging it! I tend to favor dark nail colors in general so it’s fun to have an excuse to pull one out when it’s still 100 degrees […]

ILNP – Ruby Sky

Next up from the Summer 2016 Shimmers collection from ILNP is the lovely Ruby Sky! Ruby Sky is a blurple color. In some light it’s cobalt blue and in other light it’s a deep purple. In any light it has a gorgeous red shimmer. From the ILNP website: Ruby Sky is a seriously rich blue […]

ILNP – Wallflower

I mentioned previously that ILNP released two summer collections this year. From The Summer 2016 Collection I managed to show some restraint and only bought one shade. Not so much restraint was shown with the 2016 Summer Shimmers Collection. I might have purchased all but one shade. Maybe. So the first shade that we’ll look […]

Femme Fatale – Afraid of Bees

Oh orange eye shadow, how I love you so! The newest addition to my ever growing orange eye shadow collection is Afraid of Bees by Femme Fatale. From the Femme Fatale website: Afraid of Bees by Femme Fatale Cosmetics. Part of the ‘You Choose the Scare’ Vol 2. Collection from Halloween 2015. A bold burnt orange […]
