Friday Favorite!

On Sunday I had my yearly Keratin treatment done and I just have to tell you guys how worth it it is. The first time I had it done I had the express or keratin blow out and I saw results with just that but I think the full on treatment is much more worth it. Speeding up drying time, shiny hair, and...

Stila Powders - Correct, Illuminate, & Bronze

If you're in the market for a setting powder with a little something extra you should check out the brand Stila. They have three different colors each with three shades in each compact. A compact for correction, one for illuminating, and one for bronzing. They all give a flawless/poreless finish complete with a soft glowy complexion.  I have all three and use them...

A Full On Monet... Maybelline Dream BB

This will be a new series of posts for products that I feel are NOT worth the hype or money. If I can save someone else from buying something that is a waste, I want to. The first product is Maybelline's Dream Fresh BB Cream. I originally had this in my dry skin series as a good BB cream but have now taken...

Mac Maleficent Quad

The Maleficent Collection from Mac is really gorgeous. The packaging is nothing really special... but the colors are nice and rich. I only purchased the eyeshadow quad as I didn't really need another red lipstick. Not that I needed more eyeshadow but you know how it goes... The quad of reminds me of fall but I think it would work for every season...

Friday Favorite!

Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Mascara After seeing photos of the results people had when they applied this mascara combo I had to buy it. The length and volume is so amazing. It makes your own lashes look like they have grown a mile. There is no need for falsies here ladies. This is it. Now, don't get me wrong I love a good...

Friday Favorite!

The past month has been full of good books from Stephen King to Lynne St. James... Gabriel's Inferno by Sylvain Reynard is the first in a series that will suck you in within the first couple pages. I found this book to be such a romantic story and I can't get enough. It is seductive, sweet and beautifully written. I love that you...

Le Volume De Chanel

As I have said in my previous posts, I am not a fan of wet mascara. I guess I just find it a lot more messy and my lashes end up sticking together that it becomes frustrating and pointless. Le Volume De Chanel is a wet mascara and it will take some time for me to get used to that but I do...

L'Oreal Miss Manga Mascara

While strolling through Harmon's Discount last week I came across L'Oreal's Miss Manga Mascara which is part of the Voluminous line. I am not a Manga fan but you all know I am a mascara fan so of course I had to try it out. I've given it a good week of use and so far these are my thoughts.... Pros: Lengthening - I love...

Friday Favorite!

Sephora has released a fantastic bronzer this season. First of all, it's huge! The size of a CD I would say. This baby is a great find with its pigmentation and a velvet texture. It is probably the perfect shade for the fair to medium skinned. It looks pale in the disc in person but it does have depth when applied. This can...

Makeup printer of the future?

Harvard Student Invents 3D Makeup Printer Check out this article... It's interesting but a little too Jetsons for me I think.  I find cosmetics more than just something you can print out any time in "your own freaking house". It is interesting to see where people are going to take this but also scary as with anything that is the unknown. 3D printing...

Friday Favorite!

This Friday I've picked two favorites both of which are non-makeup items.... my IMATS hoodie and a book called Embracing Her Desires by Lynne St. James. If you are in for a comfy and cozy weekend then these two are definitely going to be your best friends. The hoodie you can find here. It is the most cuddly sweatshirt I think I've ever...

Lorac Take a Brow - Auburn

Lorac's Take A Brow powder is another great brow powder I found! Lorac has it in 4 shades, Dark Brown, Brunette, Auburn, & Blonde. I found this and saw they had auburn and took a peak. Well, I was very impressed with the two colors. The mini palette comes with two shades (a lighter and a darker or medium shade) and then a...
