MAC Cosmetics was the first “real” makeup I ever bought. I was preparing for the Miss Missouri pageant (back in the early 2000’s) and knew nothing about stage makeup. Of course the products I bought back then are completely impractical for every day wear. However, it began a life long love affair. Not just with …
As you already know, I am a total sucker for good packaging and great marketing. So you know I was totally hooked the moment I discovered the new Dominique Cosmetics Celestial Storm eyeshadow palette. First, there is the name – Celestial Storm. It makes me feel like some kind of exotic dark weather goddess. For …
As I predicted in my Morphe x Jeffree Star Collection Review, this winter is shaping up to be more colorful than most. First, the Holiday makeup sneak peeks I’ve seen are super glittery and colorful. But we can’t forget the clothes too! Animal print and bold colors are everywhere. Usually, store shelves start turning a …
Just like people, makeup brands have their own personalities. For example, some brands are known for being cool and hip. Others are known for being elite and expensive.

Of course, as you already know, I wait all year for Holiday beauty launches. In fact, it’s practically my Super Bowl. (Although, with J.Lo scheduled to perform the half-time show at the real Super Bowl, I’ll actually watch it this year – you know she’s going to look amazing.) Anyway, back to the topic at …

A couple of weeks ago I talked about how some makeup launches are planned and marketed for months, and others come out of nowhere. Whereas Pat McGrath surprised us with her mini palette launch (you can read more about that here), Lady Gaga has been teasing us for months. First of all there had been …
Have you ever stumbled onto something amazing by accident? For example, you’re walking around the grocery store and you find that one thing that’s going to solve the craving you’ve been having for a week. Or maybe you’re in a bar (you didn’t even want to go to) with some friends and the crowd parts …
As you can imagine, I wear and try A LOT of makeup products. Although I am super intentional with the products I use for each blog post, I’m not always as intentional with my every day makeup. Honestly, when left to my own devices, I tend to do the same makeup look every day. Because …
Summer Fridays has quickly become one of my favorite beauty brands. Not only are their products clean, but they are so incredibly innovative. Take their newest launch for example. In fact, the new Summer Fridays CC Me Serum was inspired by Summer Fridays customer requests. Which means not only are the products awesome, but the …
