The Beauty Sample

I just wanted to give you guys a quick peek at some products I’ll be testing for the next week or so. Say hello to all the pretties from Senna’s Spring 2013 collection! I’m super excited to try the Barely Base, the lovely blush, and those 2 stunningly vibrant glosses! I’ve loved everything I’ve tried [...]

Summer always sees the release of the best makeup collections, in my opinion. There are some who dig the darker tips and nails of fall or the bright, pastel shades of spring but I am a summer collection-lover through and through. Maybe it’s that all the warm, bronzy summery shades just seem to flatter my [...]

««Press Sample»» Hey guys! Today I want to introduce you to a new brand that recently launched at Nordstrom–Gorgeous Cosmetics! If you attended The Makeup Show in L.A this year, you will have seen Gorgeous Cosmetics there promoting their U.S launch. Apparently the brand has been around for a while and has been a wild [...]

««Press Sample»» Did your parents ever take you to the carnival/fair when you were a child? I loved it there. It was a place where you could let loose and have some good old-fashioned fun; a free pass to gorge on all the  popcorn and cotton candy you could handle, play games, and of course–my [...]

Anyone else feeling like there could finally be the beginnings of just a hint of spring in the air? I certainly am! The weather here has been strange–it warmed up quite nicely last week, even reaching the mid-70′s during the day. Okay so admittedly it’s a bit chilly today but still, I feel much more [...]

««Press Sample»» I had never heard of IT Cosmetics before until very recently, when I began hearing some buzz about the brand. What sealed the deal for me, though, was when Best Things in Beauty began raving about the brand (here and here). If the queen of high-end, high-quality makeup can’t say enough good things [...]

There’s a reason why this blush is called “Sweetpea” and it must be because it creates the sweetest, most natural-looking flushed cheeks ever. I had been looking for the perfect neutral blush for a long time, spending hours looking up reviews for all the popular ones–from Exposed to Douceur to Neopolitan Lane (which was *almost* [...]

Hi guys!!  Just a quick post to show you guys some of the goodies I picked up at Sephora’s VIB sale this year. Most of them are just staples in my routine that I had to repurchase but I did manage to fit in a few “fun” items, too!

It’s getting to be that time of year again–the days are getting shorter, the temperature’s dropping, and there’s a constant smokiness in the air…winter is fast upon us. The horror!! Ok, maybe it’s not that bad, but I wouldn’t go so far as to call it my favorite time of year. Sure, it’s nice sometimes [...]

««Press Sample»» There are 2 groups of people: the ones are die-hard Nars’ Orgasm lovers and the ones that aren’t. I happen to fall into the “ones that aren’t” category. I bought Orgasm years ago–it was one of my first high-end blush purchases. Sadly, it didn’t work out for me. It just wasn’t as peachy [...]
