Full On Monet - bareminerals Faux Tan Face

A self tanner that can be used on your face without leading to breakouts or splotchiness is a beautiful thing. I always love to test out new fake tanners to find one that will make my everyday routine quick, easy, and glowing.  After seeing multiple good reviews for this Faux Tan Face product from bareminerals, I decided to try it out myself. Well...

BareMinerals BareSkin Serum Foundation

PrevNext
After really loving bareMinerals Original Powder Foundation (here) I was so excited to see they were coming out with a liquid/serum foundation. First of all, the two mix beautifully for a flawless, never flat, airbrushed look. I completely recommend these two as a pair as well as solo.  You all know I have dry, sensitive skin. I love a glowy, dewy foundation especially...

Urban Decay Vice 3

PrevNext
This palette was one I had my eyes on for a while. I've never purchased any of the Vice palettes before and usually ended up regretting it but not enough to pay $200 on ebay for one. So this year after seeing the eyeshadow "Sonic" (a gorgeous cranberry copper color) I knew I really wanted this for my collection. After still not being...

I've been waiting impatiently for this little box to arrive and it finally did today! Lime Crime's new Velvetine in Cashmere is everything I'd hoped for and more in a long wearing, matte, lip product. The greige color is perfectly neutral but with the addition of something different other than the usual nude. I will definitely be making this a staple in my...

After reading about a variety of options, I came across Amlactin. I had seen it in the drugstore but never considered purchasing. Well, boy was I missing out on an amazing lotion! My...

On my lips I used Mac's Lip Pencil in Whirl and of course I also used my Younique 3D Fiber Mascara (here)!  This palette...
