Liquid Lipsticks Under $15 | 2019 Editor's Favorites

You know what 2019 was NOT the year of? Liquid lipsticks! The system only counted 88 liquid lipstick reviews (across all price points), which my lips are all-too happy about!  If there's further reduction in 2020, I'll like combine my favorites into one post rather than split by price point...

Unforgettable Autumn | Lip Colors to Wear

I couldn't leave you without some inspiration for fall lip colors -- so many to choose from! While I'll absolutely wear any color or finish during the year, autumn makes me think of richer colors, whether they are brighter (but saturated) or deeper, vampier. I've created three collections of...

Temptalia's Spring Makeup Edit (2019)

Here are my personal picks for spring; they're shades that I'd put in my dream springtime makeup bag to wear and love during the season specifically based on how I'm feeling about this spring's vibe, what's been calling to me, and so on.  I tend to think about more recently reviewed products as that...

Spring is for Pop & Sparkle

Spring is for Pop & Sparkle

Living largely in the world of product releases, I often forget that spring doesn't actually officially kick off until March 20th (and ends June 21st!)--plus I live in Arizona, where our winter is many regions' spring.  It's always hard to think spring when it's January 15th and feels so close to...
