    February 8, 2017 / 0 Comments

    Hiii loves!!!  I’m finally back!  I apologize for my long absence.  I just got back from a week-long family reunion/ Caribbean cruise and when coupled with the hectic move, I haven’t been able to post as much as I would like to.  Please bear with me as I play catch up 🙂 Today, I will be sharing with you the contents of the first Sephora Play! sample box of 2017.  Play! is Sephora’s subscription service that provides 5 beauty samples plus 1 fragrance sample for $10/month (plus local taxes).

  • Too Faced Merry KissMas Melted Liquified Lipstick Set Review

    January 11, 2017 / 0 Comments

    Happy Wednesday, loves!  Today, I’m bringing you another product review, this time on the Too Faced Merry KissMas Melted Liquified Lipstick Set.  I really wanted to have this up before Christmas for obvious reasons, but sadly was delayed during the hectic holiday season.  Although Christmas has come and gone, this set is still in stock on the Too Faced website, and would make a lovely gift for the beauty junkie in your life.  I own a bunch of the Melted Lipsticks from previous holiday sets and love their creamy formula.  I was eager to add these shades to my collection and in particular, to test out the Melted Matte formula.What it is:…

    January 9, 2017 / 0 Comments

    Happy Monday, y’all!  I hope everyone had a great weekend 🙂  Today, we are kick-starting the week with a review of the Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face Palette!  I did not pick up this palette during its initial launch last year and after it quickly sold out, I had a serious case of FOMO.  When this relaunched in early December with limited quantities, I HAD to order it.  Although this particular palette is now out of stock and no longer available in US Sephoras (as of today), the Champagne Collection is still very much in stock so I wanted to review their formula for you in case you were…

    December 19, 2016 / 0 Comments

    Happy Monday, loves!  I hope everyone had a great weekend 🙂  Today, I will be reviewing the Kat Von D MetalMatte Eye Shadow Palette I picked up from Sephora.  I previously owned the cult favorite, KVD Shade in Light Eye Contour Palette, and while I enjoyed the formula, the shades were too neutral/ cool-toned for my personal tastes.  When I saw this gorgeous assortment of colorful shades online, I was eager to put it to the test and see how the eyeshadows performed. What it is: An exclusive, ultra-limited, eye shadow palette with 13 rich mattes and nine Metal Crush shades  (Sephora.com).Price: $60, 9 x 1.14 oz/ 37.4 g Metal…

    Happy November, loves!  Today, I am so stoked to kick off the new month by reviewing the much anticipated Anastasia Beverly Hills Master Palette by Mario!  I previously reviewed the ABH Modern Renaissance Palette (review here) and I LOVED the stunning assortment of high quality eye shadows.  It easily became one of my favorite eyeshadow palettes of all time!  I immediately ordered the Mario Palette the moment it went live on the Ulta App, as I was eager to dive into it and see how it stacks up to my beloved ABH Eyeshadow Palettes. What it is: A special- edition eye shadow collection created with Celebrity Makeup Artist Mario Dedivanovic.  The…

    Hi loves!  Today, I will be reviewing the Marc Jacobs Glow Stick Glistening Illuminator that I received in my Beauty VoxBox from Influenster.  I’ve previously received two sample boxes from Influenster, but this was by far the most exciting one.  I’ve heard good things about Marc Jacob products on social media, but I have yet to purchase any.  This VoxBox included a full sized Glow Stick Glistening Illuminator, so that was very generous as this brand is very high-end aka pricey. What it is: A portable cream stick highlighter in a first-ever universal shade for instant dewy payoff (Sephora.com). Price: $42, 0.49 oz Where to Buy: Sephora Packaging:  My first impression when…
