Are back-ups worth it?

Are back-ups worth it?

Generally, not usually for me, so I have learned to resist backing up products, especially color cosmetics that take forever to get through (and probably, literally, forever for me). For haircare/skincare, it has to be something that I would repurchase and keep using (and even then, I find I test...

Best of Bobbi Brown Crushed Liquid Lip Colors

Best of Bobbi Brown Crushed Liquid Lip Colors

Here's a recap of my reviews for Bobbi Brown Crushed Liquid Lipstick ($27.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.), which is supposed to offer "bold, glossy color with [a] balm feel." The majority of the shades have semi-opaque to opaque coverage with a glossy, more jelly-like finish--plusher, shinier than a cream...

ColourPop x Becky G Traviesa Lip Duo

ColourPop Traviesa Lip Duo ($11.00 for 0.15 oz.) includes a deep purple matte, liquid lipstick and a deep purple lip pencil. The liquid lipstick was workable on its own, while the lip pencil was best paired with the liquid lipstick rather than worn as a standalone product...

Patrick Ta She's Sincere Velvet Blush

Patrick Ta She's Sincere Monochrome Moment Velvet Blush ($32.00 for 0.37 oz.) is a medium-dark peach with warm undertones and a sat finish. The powder had a soft glow to it once applied and blended out on my cheeks, though it wasn't shimmery to my eye. It had buildable...

What brand do you find least reliable in quality?

What brand do you find least reliable in quality?

ColourPop LA Pressed Powder Bronzer

ColourPop LA Pressed Powder Bronzer ($8.00 for 0.25 oz.) is a medium-dark, rusty brown with subtle, warm red undertones and a matte finish. The powder had a silky texture that was smooth, velvety, and blendable, but there was moderate powderiness; I'd use a lighter hand...

ColourPop x Becky G Payasa Lip Duo
