Who doesn't want to feel the glow these days? I know I am always in the mood for a little (or a lot) of highlighter to brighten up my everyday looks. With Halloween just a few days away I thought this would be a great product to share with you guys. Highlighters are really in the spotlight (literally) right now. Every brand and...

Airblush, A Rosy Monday

First off, I received this from Influenster for my thoughts. At first I was a little hesitant about the color they sent, I would have chosen more of a peach or nude. Overall I love the outcome because it brought me out of my shell a little. Marc describes this blush as "luminous flush recreated the kind of glow only found on a...

My Current Favorite Foundation!

I have been obsessed with this foundation for the past two months atleast. It has the most beautiful perfecting satin finish I've seen in a long time. I don't find it heavy or cakey. I currently wear their lightest shade, Breeze 0.5.  This stuff is perfection. I loved it all winter and I have a feeling it will be just as great for...

This makeup of the day I was going for modern glam. I love a good winged liner plus a bold lip. Give Me Glow Cosmetics is an awesome indie makeup brand that has tons of liquid lipstick colors. The formula is soft, smooth, and stays on forever! She carries dupes for higher end brand shades. I can't wait to purchase more colors in...

MOTD - Vampy Lips

This MOTD was inspired by a look Jaclyn Hill filmed with a basic eye, lashes, and a dark vampy lip. I've been loving a statement lip recently and this fits the bill. I wanted something, clean, modern, but a little edgy.  I used Anastasia's liquid lipstick in the shade Potion which is a deep matte eggplant. In some lighting it can look black...

Liquid Lipstick Storage!

After searching for months, actually probably about a year now, I finally found liquid lipstick storage I love! I have tried bags, canisters, clear drawer makeup organizers, the list goes on. I went to Homegoods and looked there for something affordable but still no success. Then this past Sunday I went to Target to grab a few things and came across this glass...
