Urban Decay

There are a lot of permanent products from Urban Decay that I really love (Vice Lipsticks and 24/7 Eyeliners are some of my go-tos, as far as I can have go-tos!). I’ve found that their seasonal/limited edition launches can be more hit or miss, and they can be repetitive, despite the brand not having THAT many launches per year (like why it is always the same cheek trio?).

Does price indicate quality in your experience?

Definitely not–I have had plenty of high-end and luxury-priced flops and lots of budget-friendly winners. There are also indies, of course, that are often less expensive than most mid-end and high-end brands and are known for excellent quality, too. I’ve found that price is often reflective of...

How do you resist the urge to impulse purchase?

For the most part, I don’t have to “control” the urge since I tend to buy new releases when they launch. For the occasions where I see a new brand that I haven’t heard of, I try to follow them on social and see how they present themselves, do some research to see if there are any issues from...

Lisa Eldridge Spring/Summer 2021 Collection Swatches

Lisa Eldridge Spring/Summer 2021 Collection became available for pre-order last week (some things are sold out now), and I just received press samples of many of the new products. I also purchased the remaining items, so when I receive those, I'll be sure to add those swatches as well. The...

How do you handle criticism of your makeup collection?

I feel like it’s so rare to hear criticism now; I think when beauty blogging was newer and YouTube wasn’t so popular, having as much as I do was really jarring. Now, I think a lot of people understand why I have as much as I do and no longer even want that much, LOL! I don’t even add much to...

The Colors of Chameleons: 20 Eyeshadow Color Combos for June

June's birthstones include pearl, moonstone, and alexandrite. For this month's color combinations, I've taken inspiration from pearls with their softer, luminous sheen along with iridescent or duochromatic nature of many of their hues (since they come in a variety of colors!)--freshwater pearls are...
