Becca First Light Priming Filter
Let’s try out a high end primer for a change shall we? Usually I swear by drugstore primers. They are a product I go through quickly and I do not see much of a difference between my more high end and more affordable primers. For instance, one of my favorites is the Catrice Fresh It…

The Ordinary Lactic Acid
One of my wishes to try for 2019 were some good exfoliants. I had always used physical exfoliants before and they worked well enough, but I had also heard they aren’t the best for your skin or the environment. So I decided to try a chemical exfoliator instead. With my skin being quite sensitive, I…

Ultimate Guide to Red Lipstick
Just in time for the Holidays I am bringing you a big overview video on all things red lipstick. I love red lipstick and I have gathered quite the collection over the years. I therefore thought I could show you the definite video on red lipstick: what different kinds of reds there are, my top…

Lime Crime Venus XL
You may have noticed I have been MIA for a few days and that’s because I caught a flu. So I decided to get over it first before posting again. Which is why today I am back with a vengeance and I bring to you another eyeshadow palette review including three looks with the palette…

Max Factor Radiant Lift foundation
Drugstore foundations is a category of makeup I love trying out. Often they are not only as good as high end brands, but they can even be better and at a more affordable price point. For instance while I love the YSL All Hours foundation, the very similar L’Oreal Infallible Fresh Wear is as good…

Huda Beauty Amethyst Obsessions
Perhaps you are familiar with some of my new eyeshadow palette release videos and then you may know that I am not a fan of super big eyeshadow palettes. So you can imagine that the little 9 pan Obsessions palettes by Huda Beauty are totally up my street. I already reviewed two that I own:…

Urban Decay Naked Honey
If you follow my blog or Youtube then you’ll know I love me some Urban Decay. So when I was in New York, I picked up the Urban Decay Naked Honey palette. This eyeshadow palette is new to Urban Decay’s line and fits within the Naked palette line they do. In today’s video, I review,…

Benefit Gimme Brow
When you say brows, there are only two brands that really made a name for themselves in the beauty world. On the one hand we have Anastasia Beverly Hills and on the other there is Benefit. I haven’t tried much by ABH: the brand just doesn’t appeal to me and I have a tendency to…

Kokie Be Bright concealer
Today I will be reviewing the first product from my New York Haul. Whenever I travel I like picking up products that I won’t be able to get at home. So before I leave I always scout out some brands that I hope to find. One of those brands for my recent New York trip…

Natascha Denona Gold
So I am super excited about today’s eyeshadow review as I am reviewing the Natascha Denona Gold eyeshadow palette. This bougie, expensive palette is one that I ummed and arred about for months before biting the bullet last summer. The reason for my hesitation? I bought the Lila and didn’t love it. I just didn’t…

Lise Watier Rouge Gourmand Velours Lipstick
Last year, I did a swap with fellow blogger Stashy. She’s since shut down her blog, but we did a makeup exchange right after she did. Her living in Canada meant I got to try some Canadian goodies, while I sent her a bunch of Europeans stuff that is harder to get in North America.…

Catrice Glowing Blush Box
When one of your favorite drugstore brands does some new blushes, then you need to try them. Catrice released a new blush formula for their fall/ winter 2019 collection and I already tried the peach shade called Dolce Vita over the summer time. That was a success, so now that it is fall time, I…

Anastasia Beverly Hills Sultry eyeshadow palette
Do you know that feeling when you use an eyeshadow palette and you know it is just right for you? That is how I feel about the palette I am reviewing for you today. Last year I went on a complete ABH kick and purchased all the remainder palettes that were out and I didn’t…

Milani Hypnotic Lights Luster Light Highlighter
That Milani can do some great makeup products is as clear as sunshine. They do some lovely lipsticks, blushes and their eyeshadow primer is one of my favorites on the market. So when I heard they were doing a line of holographic highlighters, I was all ears. I already tried their Afterglow highlighter which I…
-
Essence You Better Work Eye Primer
Up to this point, the Essence You Better Work line has been unsuccessful for me. The primer didn’t prime, the tinted moisturizer was too orange and the makeup fixing spray gave me an allergic reaction. So that was a bit of dud and you can understand that I was apprehensive when I ran out of…

Focallure Review // 3 Palette Review
Today’s video is a special one. This is a video on a new to me makeup brand: Focallure. This Chinese makeup brand contacted me whether they could send me some products to try and for me to do a video on it. Since I already featured one of their palettes in one of my Buy…
-
Juvia’s Place The Festival palette
If there is one brand that can guarantee a good, colorful eyeshadow palette, it would be Juvia’s Place. This affordable brand does some great palettes and their color stories are always unique. I already reviewed The Magic, The Zulu and The Saharan palettes and did three looks with The Tribe. Today we will be having…

Dior Backstage Face & Body foundation
Today we are having a closer look at a not so new foundation, but one that I excited for nonetheless. I bought this last year just after it launched, but I hadn’t really given it a proper try just yet. So last month I committed to giving this a good try. It came with me…

Catrice Luminice Highlight & Blush palette
Today’s review is a blush & highlighter palette by Catrice. If you know me, then you know that face palettes aren’t really my forte. Many brands put them out and I own quite a few, but I never really end up wearing them much. Still, whenever Catrice comes out with new products I want to…
-
Too Faced Fruit Cocktail Blush Duo
When it comes to blush I have tried quite a few by Too Faced. My favorite formula they have done to date is their Love Flush blushes which I tried and reviewed in a stunning watermelon shade: How Deep Is Your Love. As part of their Tutti Frutti collection, Too Faced launched their Fruit Cocktail…

Essence Disney Princess Collection
I am super excited for today’s video! It is a bit late perhaps, but when Essence teams up with Disney to do a limited edition Disney Princess collection including eyeshadow palettes, highlighters and brushes then of course I have to check it out. It was tricky to get my hands on this stuff, but luckily…

NARS Forte de France highlighter
What do you do when one of your favorite highlighters of 2018 hasn’t seen much use, let alone a review? Well, you bust it out in a shop my stash of course and you use it again. That’s exactly what happened to me and NARS’ Forte De France highlighter. After trying and loving their Albatross…

Milani Soft & Sultry
One drugstore brand that does great eyeshadow? Milani. Previously I reviewed their Earthy Elements palette and loved it. Lately, the brand has been changing their eyeshadow range and are now doing 12 pan square palettes that are a bit more pricey, but that took the beauty community by storm. Because even though they are a…

Urban Decay After Dark lipstick
Talking about a long overdue review! I bought this lipstick so long ago that by now Urban Decay still sells this, but in very different packaging. Because since buying this, UD released their Vice Lipstick line. Luckily for me, the shade After Dark from their Revolution Matte lipstick range is still available as part of…

L’Oreal More Than Concealer
Let’s do a review that I am truly excited for. You know how much I like trying different concealers and when I found the new L’Oreal More Than Concealer I had high hopes for how it might work. I love the newest infallible foundation and this seems to have been launched as the accompanying concealer.…

H&M Beauty Blush | Vintage Red
When I love a blush formula I love to own multiples. I already owned and loved two H&M Beauty blushes: Cantaloupe and Tawny Peach. I reviewed them last year and have been raving about these blushes for years. Not enough people are talking about H&M makeup in general and these blushes in particular. They are…

Anastasia Beverly Hills Prism
It’s Shadow Saturday again and today I am bringing you a review of a palette that I think is super fall appropriate. The palette in question? Yup, the Anastasia Beverly Hills Prism eyeshadow palette. I still have to review my Subculture one too, but when I was thinking of which one to do first, I…

The Ordinary Rose Hip Seed Oil
I feel it’s been some time since I last reviewed a skincare product and that’s easily explained: I just wasn’t trying anything new. With skincare I love using up what I have before opening up a new product. Not only is that more sustainable, it also means the product cannot expire before you can use…
