I usually start with eyeshadow and work from crease to lid to brow bone, then fill in brows, apply eyeliner, and finish with mascara. After that, I apply base/complexion products. If I’m not testing, then I’d actually set lightly and then apply highlighter/blush/bronzer (unless they were...
Happy Saturday! I always enjoy seeing what makes up the week's top ten highest-reviewed products, so I hope you find it somewhat interesting as well! :)
What was your week in review like?
Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Bronzer ($32.00 for 0.22 oz.) is a new, permanent cream-based formula that can be used as bronzer and contour with two shades (Amber and Toffee Tease) that were specifically listed as contours.
I think the brand could have released both contouring and bronzing...
Here's a look back at how well (or poorly) the newest shades in the Sephora Rouge Lacquer ($14.00 for 0.10 oz.) range performed. If you love a creamier, more emollient formula with a glossier finish--and don't mind that it isn't ultra long-wearing--it's a nice, more affordable offering!
While it could be an application/technique tip, type of product, etc. it was a specific product for me! Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter has become a real go-to for adding luminosity and extra slip to any foundation I reach for, so I think that’s about as game-changing as it...
Share your recent beauty purchases or rediscovered favorites in your stash (for those on low/no-buys!), chit chat about weekend plans, and learn a little more about each other!
For me, it was a product (for others, it might be a step or type of product!): Biologique Recherche PIGM400 has become a holy grail-level staple that I continue to repurchase and just don’t see myself straying from. It made such a massive difference in the tone and quality of my skin when it was...
Yesterday, I shared my methods for breaking down an eyeshadow palette into more digestible pieces to see color combinations more readily. I also shared some more advanced methods that built off of those basics. All of those techniques work across all palettes, even more chaotic ones, but let's try it...
I think my skin is, generally, not that fussy. It’s rare that a product makes me break out or my skin react poorly, so I’m usually happy enough. I find that greater knowledge about serums, toners, and exfoliants has gone a long way into improving my overall routine in subtle, but meaningful...
At the end of April, I spied two new releases from ILIA: the ILIA DayLite Highlighter ($34.00 for 0.23 oz.) and ILIA NightLite Bronzer ($34.00 for 0.42 oz.). Each formula had two shades (a lighter and darker one, though by no means covering the full spectrum of skin tones, sadly). Here are swatches...
