I’ve tried so many different new products. As well as rediscovered some old favorites. Unfortunately, last year left me super […]
Maybelline rocked my world when they teamed up with MakeupShayla to create her iconic City Mini Eyeshadow Palette. They seriously brought the heat!

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.

Makeup companies are good for selling us on outrageous claims they can never live up to. Blushes that last for 12 hours. Foundation that lasts for over 16 hours without primer.

Loose powders can be especially horrifying for me because I have a pretty deep skin tone and I have dry skin too. Unfortunately, […]
Doing someone else’s makeup can be so much fun! It can also be a great learning experience, too. Last weekend, I gave my best friend, Tiara, a Back to School themed makeover at VBT Beaute Emporium. Unlike myself, my best friend has rather oily skin that she often struggles to keep matte. Naturally, I had to […]

These days, I’ve been getting my glitter rocks off with the new, limited edition Milani Hypnotic Lights Eye Toppers. It’s a new line of liquid eyeshadow decked […]
