The right eyeshadow brush can go a long way for getting the coverage and finish desired in less time, and the key is identifying your own preferences, eye shape and size, and considering how varied (or not) the colors you reach for.
Just because a brush works magic for me doesn't mean it necessarily...
With over a thousand reviews and swatches, I've tested my way through the majority of NARS products and releases, both past and present, so I have a good idea of what NARS best products are! In the last two years, NARS has revamped some of their core products, too, like their standard Lipsticks (now...
There are five new shades in the Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color ($29.00 for 0.14 oz.) range, plus a new formula, Bobbi Brown Crushed Jelly Stick ($29.00 for 0.08 oz.) available in six shades for the spring.
I hope you enjoyed my year-end posts as much as I enjoyed going through all the reviews I wrote in the past year. I find it useful to go through and see what did or didn't resonate, what brands put out better products in a given year, and so on. In case you missed any post or want to refer back to...
I'm really satisfied with how many of the must-haves I wrote about in 2019 actually were successfully incorporated into my must-haves that stayed favorites throughout 2020! I did a better job honing in on what I could (not just would want to!) reach for. There are plenty of long-time favorites that...
Every year, I like to go through my vanity drawers, which is where I keep some "everyday" kind of products; they're a mix of cheek colors, lip products, and complexion products that I really love and let myself reach for occasionally (either to wear after testing new products for the day or to wear...
Going through the new formulas released in 2020 (not just new-to-me but that I recall launching in 2020!), there were still plenty of new formulas that launched and made permanent.
I'm so glad there's a high-quality, more mid-end cream blush/bronzer formula available with the Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out...
No real surprises on this list--shade extensions from my favorite formulas were a pleasure to test, like Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy, Pat McGrath MatteTrance, and MAC Lipstick (which is a reliable favorite!). New formulas like Fenty Beauty Slip Shine and Bite Beauty Lip Crayons made it onto the list,...
Lipstick releases never really cease. It's incredible how many lip products are released each year, even in a year where manufacturing and supply chains were disrupted! I expect we'll continue to see an onslaught of lip products in 2021, and here's hoping that more of us will be able to wear it in...
While eyeshadow releases slowed down a bit this past year, they still largely were released within palettes, particularly for mid-end and higher tier brands. MAC released some new eyeshadow singles (which also served to debut their updated eyeshadow formula), but otherwise, the single eyeshadows I...
