    Review: Tarte Hybrid Gel Foundation 

    May 24, 2017 /

    I had never really tried any products from Tarte, other than their blushes, until I tried a discovery set from Sephora. I instantly fell in love with all of the products and was itching to try more. Next thing I know, they were offering a promotion. For $63 you got a makeup bag, foundation, blush, eye liner, mascara, lip product and a brush. All of the products are full sized, shipping was about $5 dollars and I found a $10 dollar off coupon. How could I pass up the offer? Honestly, what I was most intrigued about was the Empowered Hybrid Gel Foundation ($39). Tarte’s websites offers 17 shades and claims…

    It Cosemtics: Confidence in a Compact

    February 16, 2017 /

    If I could create my dream foundation it would be full coverage with SPF, have ingredients to benefit my skin, as well as help blur pores and fine lines. Not too much to ask for, right? Though it seems unrealistic to expect so much from one product, my interest was piqued when I heard about the new serum compact foundation from It Cosmetics. Available at Ulta, their site claims ” Confidence in a Compact starts its life as your first-ever, clinically shown anti-aging solid serum, and is infused with full-coverage pigments and SPF 50+ UVA/UVB broad-spectrum physical sunscreen. It truly delivers all the skincare benefits of your best-selling Confidence in…

    L’Oréal Infallible Total Cover Foundation Review

    February 11, 2017 /

    When I first heard about this product, I was ecstatic! I mean a drugstore foundation that is matte, long wearing and inexpensive? What more could I ask for? I really enjoy the infallible matte and porless foundation so I had very high hopes. I decided to first try applying this foundation with a beauty blender. It seemed to go on easy and blend with no problems. The only thing was that after one layer, I could still see my freckles and my acne spots where still very apparent. After going in with a second layer, it seemed to help. My major complaint is that is seemed to cling to dry…

    Wet n Wild Photo Photo Focus Foundation Wear Test and Review 

    February 5, 2017 /

    Wet n Wild has really been on top of it with real sing new products this month. Two of the most exciting products would be their new line of foundation is said to adjust for perfect pictures in seven different lighting situations. Sounds pretty good to me! So I picked up nude ivory in the foundation and Neutral buff in the powder.  Here is one layer of the foundation applied with an Artis oval 7. I would say it is a buildable medium coverage and a natural finish. I applied a little of my Tarte Shape Tape and finished off my face with the powder. The powder added a little…

Initially, I had all these happy and light hearted Initially, I had all these happy and light hearted posts ready to go. Then the world stopped. It felt weird to post about makeup when everything seemed to be falling apart. These last 2.5 weeks have felt like everything was moving in slow motion; it’s felt more like 3 months. I’ve felt lost, anxious, and afraid. However, I, like many others, are trying their best to not only make ourselves feel happy but to put as much light into the world as we can. So I’ll be trying to go back and post all of these images I already had planned for my feed. Just know, we are all in this together and things will get better. Stay smart and love the ones around you 💕
Trend alert: colored mascara. I’ve been saying t Trend alert: colored mascara. I’ve been saying this since last spring, but colored mascara is where it’s at. Seriously, the quickest and easiest way to add a pop of color to any look. Try it on the bottom lash line and let me know what you think 😘⠀

I’m a mascara girl myself, I’m too afraid of have someone that close to my eyes to get extensions. And falsies? I end up looking like I have four sets of lashes 🤣 I have to say, the @lancomeofficial Monsieur Big mascara give me the most beautiful full lashes .
