Usually when it comes to makeup launches we get first dibs on everything here in the states. We’re sorta like makeup guinea pigs but I’m always happy about it because I’m impatient and just can’t wait to check out new makeup. Sometimes, though, we’re left waiting and waiting for beauty releases that seem like they’re […]

Eyeshadow palettes can be super convenient and value packed but sometimes they lack balance. Especially when it comes to mattes. Pick any given eyeshadow palette and I guarantee you there’s way more shimmery and metallic shades than matte. Which isn’t necessarily bad–just lacking. I don’t know about you but I can’t stand shimmer in the […]
When NYX announced that they were releasing the Liquid Suede Cream Lipsticks I was pretty excited because I knew they’d be great. Their original liquid lipsticks, Soft Matte Lip Creams, have become an old school cult classic and a favorite of mine so I had to see how this new line compared to the good ol’ […]
When I think of Estee Lauder, I think of sweet old ladies in a strong spicy, floral perfume with their lips and cheeks covered in rouge ready to pinch your cheeks at any given second. Not bold mattes and liquid lipsticks. Estee Lauder has always given off a more classic, mature vibe better suited for those […]
Since Wet n Wild knocked it out of the park with ever so amazing Hollywood Boulevard Shimmer Palette I’ve decided to try more new goodies from the Fergie Centerstage Collection. Earlier this year, she released a brand new line of Velvet Matte Lip Colors that were a little hard to find but can be spotted […]
Now here’s a lipstick you don’t see everyday! MAC is all about setting trends so when I spotted Matte Royal in the new Matte Lip Collection I knew it would be a hit. Sure, most folks are still warming up to blue lipsticks but some of us have been dying to see a blue lipstick […]
With all these matte lipstick lines popping up left and right (Milani, Kat Von D, MAC, etc) it’s enough to make your head spin and your lips flake up. Because let’s admit it. Even the most comfortable matte lipstick will eventually start to suck the moisture out of your lips. It’s just the nature of […]
Another day, another line of matte lipsticks! Maybelline has doubled down on the matte lip market this season with 10 new shades of Color Sensational Matte Lipsticks and a brand spankin’ new line of ColorBlur Cream Matte Lip Pencils. A girl can never have too many matte lipsticks, right?
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 […]
