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, […]
