    Happy Friday, loves!  I hope you all had a wonderful week.  Today, I'm bringing you my review of the highly controversial Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Eyeshadow Palette!  Wow, has there ever been this much of an uproar over eyeshadow?  I am a huge fan of the ABH Eyeshadow Palettes, particularly the cult fave Modern Renaissance Palette (review here) and the Master Palette by Mario (review here).  I'll admit firsthand, I've watched plenty of review videos on the Subculture Palette, ranging from favorable to highly critical.  Still, I'm here to give the palette a fair shot and provide my honest opinions, based on my own experience.

    Happy Thursday, everyone!  The weekend is almost here!  Today I'll be sharing with you my review of the goodies from my Fiona Stiles Haul!  I've heard good things about the Fiona Stiles line, but sadly, they're being discontinued at Ulta :( On a good note, that meant I was able to snag these products at super discounts ;)  Let’s dive right in and see how they performed!

    Hiii dolls!  Today, I'll be reviewing the contents of July’s Boxycharm!  You can find my review on last month’s Boxycharm here.  Boxycharm is my favorite beauty subscription box that provides 5-6 full-sized items for $21/month.  What I love about Boxycharm is that the value of all the luxury products always well exceed the $21 price.

    Goood morning, dolls!  By the time this post goes live, I'll likely be up in the air en route to Colorado for the week  But I still wanted to share with you the contents of my July's Ipsy Glam Bag while I was away!  You can find my June Ipsy Glam Bag here.  Ipsy is a beauty subscription service that provides 5-6 sample/full-sized items for $10/month.  What I like about Ipsy is that the price encompasses shipping, and it regularly includes full sized products in a cute cosmetics bag.

    Makeup Revolution Ultra Eye Contour Light and Shade Palette Review

    July 14, 2017 / 0 Comments

    Happy Friday, loves!  Congrats on making it to the weekend  Today, I'm excited to be reviewing the Makeup Revolution Ultra Eye Contour Light & Shade Palette.  First off, let's address the obvious.  This looks identical to the Kat Von D Shade + Light Eye Contour Palette   I previously owned the cult favorite and while I enjoyed the formula, the majority of the shades were too neutral/ cool-toned for my personal tastes.  I ended up only using about three warm shades.  With the $48 price tag, I didn't feel I was getting my money's worth out of the palette.  So when I saw this affordable Makeup Revolution dupe, I was…

    Hiii dolls!  Today, I will be reviewing the lippies that I received in my Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink VoxBox from Influenster!  This VoxBox included two shades of the new Maybelline Liquid Lipsticks.  Maybelline makes my favorite lipstick formulas from the drugstore so I was stoked to put their liquid lipsticks to the test!

    Happy Wednesday, everyone!  I hope you all had a Happy 4th of July with family and friends :) Today, I'm back with a quick review of the Kiss Acrylic Nude French Press On Nails.  I love the look and durability of acrylic nails from the salon, but my already-thin nails are absolutely destroyed afterwards  I love press-on nails as a quick alternative that provides similar results, with far less damage to the natural nail.
