Highlighting and contouring is well past being a trend now. It’s pretty much a way of life for many makeup junkies. Myself included. Mastering the technique isn’t easy but once you’ve got it down to a science it’s hard not to highlight and contour for the makeup gods every time you do a full face. […]
For some people, highlighting and contouring is only reserved for special occasions and nights out. But me? I live for it everyday! Well not everyday. Some days, time just doesn’t allow me to achieve a full on beat with a poppin’ highlight and contour in stow. Especially those early morning work days. There’s nothing worse than trying to […]
Hate her or love her, you have to admit that Kim Kardashian’s makeup almost always slays. Her flawless makeup has helped to catapult highlighting and contouring to the forefront with mile high lashes and smokey eyes to boot. I have to applaud celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic for creating such beautiful looks and chiseled cheekbones. […]
There has been a lot of makeup collaborations this year but I’m feeling it. Sometimes it can get a little annoying to see a celebrity endorsing a brand or collection. But other times, it’s a breath of fresh air because I don’t always know who these people are. Between Tarte and MAC, I’ve been introduced […]

One of the most exciting, hands down, was the recent expansion of Anastasia Beverly Hills to include her entire professional line of cosmetics online and in stores. Cue the hallelujah chorus! Anastasia Beverly Hills has made a name for herself […]
When the Anastasia Contour Kits first came out tons of people were all over social media raving about them as if they were the best thing since sliced bread. Eventually, I got sucked into the hype and picked up the powder Contour Kit in Tan to Deep only to discover that it was more of a bronzing […]
Anastasia Beverly Hills has made her claim to fame as the queen of brows but she isn’t stopping there. Nope! Since the creation of her brow line years ago, she has managed to expand her brand to include eyeshadow, contour kits and some amazing lippies too. Last year, Anastasia added a collection of liquid lipsticks […]
One of the many upsides to being a makeup blogger (and junkie) is that I get to try a lot of different new products quite often. Most times, I purchase them myself which makes my wallet a little sad but my face very happy when I pick products that turn out to be amazing. May […]
If you’re a makeup junkie like me then you probably like to carry around a handful of makeup in your purse at any given time. A million different glosses and lipsticks. Pressed Powder. Setting spray and lip balm here and there. That’s just how we roll! I used to just toss makeup in my bag […]
