Review: Senna Barely Base Sheer Mineral Makeup

Review: Senna Barely Base Sheer Mineral Makeup

New Revlon Colorstay Aqua Mineral Makeup Review

New Revlon Colorstay Aqua Mineral Makeup Review

A drugstore makeup brand that I've always loved is Revlon. In my opinion, their liquid Colorstay foundation is one of the best drugstore foundations out.

I ❤ NARS Sin.

I ❤ NARS Sin.

You know the feeling when you find a few new products that you really, really enjoy using that it actually makes you excited to do your makeup in the morning? That's how I felt today. It's funny because none of the products are really all that exciting, but I guess I just didn't expect to love them as much as I do.... Continue reading »

L'oreal True Match Super Blendable Liquid Foundation Review

L'oreal True Match Super Blendable Liquid Foundation Review

I am not exactly known for using liquid foundations, specifically drugstore liquid foundations (my skin is terribly acneic and mostly thrives on mineral makeup). This notwithstanding, I tried L'oreal True Match that for some reason kept beckoning me from the drugstore display. First of all, it is the first drugstore... Continue reading »

The Whole Truth Review: Inika Liquid Mineral Foundation

Lovely packaging but what's inside? I was very happy to see a sample of Inika Cosmetics liquid mineral foundation in my mailbox today.

QVS stippling brush: "the airbrush"

My favourite bargain purchase of the year (so far)! I've been lusting after the MAC 187 brush for ages, but couldn't justify the price.
