Loose powders are scary territory for brown skin! They can make us look ghastly. Both in real life and flash photos. Or, in some cases, they can make us look extremely dry and cakey. Loose powders can be especially horrifying for me because I have a pretty deep skin tone and I have dry skin too. Unfortunately, […]
Ask and you shall receive! Maybelline’s new Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation has been a huge hit since it was first released last year but the biggest complaint was the shade range. Don’t get me wrong. Maybelline kicked off the Matte + Poreless line with a great start featuring 14 shades. However, a lot […]
It’s no secret that I love makeup like a fat kid loves cake. Lipsticks. Highlights. Blush. I love it all! However, most days I’m either a) feeling too lazy or b) too pressed for time to apply a full face of makeup. But when I feel like going all out (think full force slay) I […]
What originally caught my eye about this foundation is the packaging. It’s simply beautiful to me! Tall, sleek glass bottle with a glossy black cap with very little writing. It’s simple, yet attractive! Although I didn’t read any reviews on this, I decided to pick this foundation up anyway because it looked so elegant. So […]
Let’s face it. Dark skin is typically an afterthought when it comes to beauty products. We’re often left wondering, “Will this work for me though?” It’s a legitimate question. Especially when it comes to makeup. Because everything isn’t made for us. Or even with us in mind, sadly. Cue my latest disappointment with Maybelline.
Maybelline rocked my world when they teamed up with MakeupShayla to create her iconic City Mini Eyeshadow Palette. They seriously brought the heat! The Shayla City Mini Palette was great quality and rather inclusive of all shades. Including dark skin divas. I absolutely love it! So you know I’ve been at the edge of my […]
No Christmas is complete without a sprinkle of #BlackGirlMagic! The Maybelline x Shayla City Mini Eyeshadow Palette proved to be the perfect stocking stuffer for me. I was so happy to get my hands on it! The Maybelline x Shayla City Mini Eyeshadow Palette released earlier this year but repeatedly sold out. Then it was […]
Loving makeup or having to rock a polished face to work on a regular basis can be fun at times. You get to flex your creativity by adding a little color to your day or take on the world feeling a powerfully beautiful new version of yourself. The downside, is that rocking makeup isn’t always […]
Remember when I told you a while back that Maybelline was adding more shades to Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation? Well they’ve finally arrived in stores and I couldn’t be happier! I’ve been a fan of Maybelline Fit Me Foundation for years so I was excited to try the new Matte + Poreless formula […]
As much as I love eyeshadow (and hoarding palettes lol), I don’t always have the time to create pretty eye looks. Or blend too much of anything for that matter. So I typically opt for a quick swipe of liner or a nice cat eye if I have a little extra time. Either way, eyeliner is essential […]
