Friday Favorite!

Urban Decay followed the release of the Naked palette with Naked 2, a foundation, powder, BB cream, luminizer, blush palette, Naked Basics (amazing!), eyeliners to go with each palette,...

This week I found a great brow product that makes my mornings so much quicker in the brow department! Introducing Benefit's Gimme Brow... It comes in two colors, light/medium and medium/deep. I have been using the medium/deep since my hair is dark right now. I find that it accentuates my brows and dries to a quick (not crunchy) finish. I have never used...

Dry Skincare Series - Ointments / Balms

PrevNext
Ointment and balms are used for so many things. They are lip balms, cuticle balms, healing ointments, etc. If you have dry skin you need at least one of these in your life.

Matte eyeshadow is something that should be in everyone's collection. They are staples and so useful for blending out shimmery shades, a soft bridal look (matte is great for photography!), or just for an everyday work/errands look. classic nudes, quartz quartet, and canyon classics I was so excited when I found these Physicians Formula palettes at Ulta. I had been searching for them...
