Every year, at the beginning of the new year, I write up a giant list to review the year that was and look forward to the year that will come. This list pertains the highs, the lows, the blog stats, the memories and everything else that meant something to me in the previous year. This…

Festive make up look
Merry Christmas!!! Today is Christmas Day and what better video to put up than a festive make up look? I decided to steer clear of the standard red and gold look for this one and focused on purple and shimmer instead. I use some trusted favorites and use some brand spanking new products as well.…

The best bang for your buck
Where I love me some higher end make up, I couldn’t go without my drugstore gems. They may be a touch harder to find, but when you do, they are there to stay. So I thought it would be good to show you some of those drugstore gems. These are the products that I think…

The eye shadow stick round up
Eye shadow in a stick. To me, it’s one of the best inventions of the beauty world. These creamy eye shadows in pencil form, are quick, easy, handy and come in a variety of shades. I love using these during spring/ summer most, but I use them year round. As a base to intensify other…

Essence Lights of Orient Limited Edition collection
My favorite make up days? When I randomly stumble into my local drugstore and find a nearly untouched limited edition display. That doesn’t happen very often, but this time it did, and boy am I happy it happened. Essence just released their new limited edition Lights of Orient collection. I hadn’t heard anything about this…

Starter kit make up
When I first got into make up I was well into my 20s and had a steady job that paid the bills. Nevertheless, I found through trial and error that there is a lot of good quality drugstore make up out there. So I started wondering what make up I would buy if I were…

Summer bronze make up look
It is officially summer! And so it is time to start off a round of summer appropriate posts. I thought a good start would be a bronze make up look with my new favorite lip combination. I wore this look in my empty products video last week. Recently I have been very much into bronze…

30 Day Make Up Challenge #18: Extreme
For this rendition of the 30 Day Make Up Challenge, I decided to think outside of my comfort zone. I decided to pile on the make up and even though this may not be very extreme for some people, it is for me. I often only have 15 minutes, if that, when I do my…

Updated make up collection & storage
A collection update. It was about time. The last time I showed this was almost 2 years ago and lots has changed since then. I purged quite a few sections mainly, but on the other hand, not so much has changed. I still store my make up collection in the same way and I honestly…

LOTD: A Different Shade of Blue
Ok. First of all, this look is not coherent. I just threw together an outfit and then randomly selected a palette to do an eyelook with, so the make up & the clothes don’t match. I don’t care though, as I don’t think make up & outfit should always match. In fact, I think that’s…
