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 […]
There’s only one thing that excites me about the holiday season now. And that’s limited edition makeup that goes on sale. Precious family time is a given on the holidays, of course! However, I’m all Christmas’d out this year. The only holiday cheer I’m really feeling are the bomb makeup palettes I gifted myself for […]
Convenient and affordable aren’t words I’d use to describe my makeup routine. At all. There’s nothing convenient or necessarily affordable about $50 palettes and $20+ lipsticks. My nail routine wasn’t exactly simple either. Consisting of 2 trips a month to the nail salon with trips ranging from $25 to $65. Yikes! I’m a hardcore makeup […]

You are seriously slacking if you haven’t been to your local drugstore lately. ‘Cause these brands are killing it, honey! I pop in and out drugstores for lashes these days. But I can never leave with just lashes. Not with all of these new releases looming about! The new Maybelline Vivid Hot Lacquers caught my eye during my last lash run. […]
It doesn’t matter how much coverage your foundation has. Or how much you spend on it. You can’t erase your skin issues! You’re probably thinking, “Well, it doesn’t hurt to try!” Sometimes it can. Piling on a ton of makeup (and chemicals) when your skin is struggling can make things worse. Now you’ve got clogged […]
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, […]
