Read more "New Stuff + First Impressions"There are many black cream polishes out there but a-england’s Camelot is my favorite. It applies like a dream, wears for days (seriously, seven days before I saw a tiny little chip and seven days PLUS hauling loads of firewood before there was any tip wear)and is nearly a one coater if you’re skilled in […]
Read more "NOTW: Rainbow Glitter Jelly Goodness"Last week I started this project in the drugstore aisle of my lipstick collection (I don’t actually have aisles of lipstick.

Read more "Unpopular Opinion: NARS Audacious Lipstick (in Anita)"Every once in a blue moon, you might encounter a company or an individual that exhibits exceptional customer service. I was fortunate enough to have just such an experience recently with Camp Cosmetics. Camp Cosmetics is based in Glen Ellyn Illinois, and I heard about them via the ever so delightful Kristin Gehm on YouTube […]
Read more "Camp Cosmetics – Haul + Swatches"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 […]
Read more "Wet n Wild Fall 2014 Megalast Lipsticks and Color Icon Eyeshadows"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 […]
