February was truly a fun month for makeup! We saw a lot of new releases. As per usual. But last month birthed some really big releases that are still rolling out to stores. Making March out to be an incredibly month already! Before we dive head first into March… I’ve got to break down my […]
Life hits you hard! One minute, I’m feeling great, working hard and ready to tackle the world. Then, BOOM! I’m out of the game with the flu. Again! Needless to say, I’m not feeling too hot. Nor am I getting a lot of sleep these days. If it were up to me, I’d just quarantine […]
Finding a contour palette when you’re a black woman is hard. Finding one that’s under $20 is even harder. That’s why I loudly rejoiced when Black Radiance dropped the new True Complexion Blushing Bronze Palette earlier this year. It comes in 2 shades: Light to Medium and Dark to Deep. I thought to myself: “Yesss! Okay! Somebody finally […]
Normally when people think of makeup they automatically think layers of cake face. Or drag queen makeup. Makeup is so much more than that! Makeup is meant to enhance your God-given features and highlight your unique, natural beauty. You don’t have to completely rearrange or alter your face! I always receive compliments on how natural my makeup […]
Matching your lipstick and blush can be a daunting task when you’re always on the go with a million and one lipsticks at your disposal. I carry at least 3-4 lipsticks in my makeup bag at any given time and I often like to switch them up throughout the day depending on my mood. That’s […]
I know bronzer gets all the summer love but blush is still important too! A pretty blush gives you a healthy flush of color, balances your makeup looks and can even brighten and lift your face (and spirits). I know shimmering blushes aren’t everyone’s cup of tea though. Which is understandable because some of us […]
I’ll probably always be a hardcore lipstick junkie but lately I’ve been super obsessed with highlighters and all things glow. A poppin’ highlight and a soft, dewy complexion is my go to look this summer. I’ve already shown you my summer glow essentials that I love whipping out to make me glow to the moon […]
Calling all brown skin beauties ’cause this one’s for you! Most complexions can pull off an orange blush but not quite as well as us gals with darker skin tones. On brown skin, orange blush just shines as it doesn’t quite look like blush but more of a naturally warm flush of color. Like you’ve […]
This is probably the hardest question you’re ever gonna be asked. So brace yourself. Here it goes. If you had to leave behind all of your makeup and only pack your must haves, what would they be? For me, this answer seems to change almost every week. As a beauty blogger (and makeup junkie), I’m […]
With all these contour kits and palettes on the market, it’s easy to forget that we truly only need 1 product to contour. That’s it. Sometimes I’m tempted to give in and try one of those new fangled palettes but I often end up talking myself out of it because I’ve got my good ol’ […]
Want clear, ultra smooth skin? Then you need the Holistic Beauties Best Face Friend!
PÜR Cosmetics prides themselves on being the complexion authority. And I almost agree with them. My buddies over at PÜR Cosmetics sent over the 4-in-1 Foundation Stick in 2 shades: Deep and Deeper. They’re not the deepest shades in the range. But they’re the only ones you’d be able to get your hands on in […]
