Highlighters Over $15 | 2019 Editor's Favorites

Highlighters Over $15 | 2019 Editor's Favorites

As I mentioned in my post on my favorite highlighters under $15, I reviewed over 200 highlighters in 2019!  I love highlighters and blushes that have a two-in-one effect (not quite a duochrome), and Marc Jacobs Jet Girl was a massive favorite (keeping it in my vanity for now!).  The new Milk Flex...

Highlighters Under $15 | 2019 Editor's Favorites

In 2019, I tested just over 200 highlighters, and I've broken out my favorites by price point! I loved the ColourPop Lite Stix, which was a cream-based highlighter formula that performed quite well (surprisingly long-wearing for as dewy as it was!). Sydney Grace didn't let me down after working...

What was your last impulse purchase?

What was your last impulse purchase?

Apparently, I purchased the Fresh Fresh Darlings Gift Set, and I really have no idea how or why that happened. When it arrived (with products I did intend to purchase), I was actually confused, LOL.

Blushes Over $15 | 2019 Editor's Favorites

Blushes Over $15 | 2019 Editor's Favorites

As I mentioned in my favorite blushes under $15 post, I reviewed just over 200 blushes in 2019! These are my more mid-end and high-end favorites from what I reviewed.  BUXOM's Wanderlust Blush was a nice one, and in all honesty, I forgot all about it until I saw it come up as reviewed in 2019, so I'll...

Blushes Under $15 | 2019 Editor's Favorites

Blushes Under $15 | 2019 Editor's Favorites

With over 200 blushes reviewed in 2019, it takes some ruthlessness to whittle down a list (thank goodness I can at least split between under and over $15). With the addition of ColourPop's Blush Stix this year, there was a nice influx in cream blushes available, and it was just icing on the cake that...

Cheek Duos & Palettes | 2019 Editor's Favorites

Cheek Duos & Palettes | 2019 Editor's Favorites

2017 was the first time I put together a post featuring my favorite cheek palettes from the year, which was mostly a result of there being enough variety to merit picking favorites, and 2019 didn't see a slowdown.  I reviewed 62 cheek palettes from duos to trios and larger.  Once you read through...

Bronzers | 2019 Editor's Favorites

As 2019 winds down, it's time to kick off my best of 2019 posts! (You can check out best of 2018 if you missed it.) Bronzer is a category that doesn't get a lot of love throughout the year; there are more reliable, holy grail permanent favorites (like Benefit Hoola) but not a lot of new-for-2019 kind...

What are your tips for resisting new beauty products?

What are your tips for resisting new beauty products?

1.) Figure out if you can dupe it, whether that’s very similar shades that you already own or by layering two or three products together or just recreating a theme/vibe with what you own. 2.) Be aware of your goals and how giving in might make those harder to achieve. 3.) Push pause and give...
