When I find nude lipsticks that work on WOC, I get really excited. When I find EXCELLENT nude lipsticks for WOC, I scream, shout, and let it ALL out! So I’m going to share one of my newest finds thanks to indie makeup brand Baby Bat Beauty and their luscious lipstick ‘Bonfire Babe’. Baby Bat Beauty was kind enough to send me a few of their lipsticks to test out and I was like ‘SEND NUDES’.
One of Looxi Beauty’s most popular eyeshadow collection, The Auroras, now has another set of 12 shadows to keep it company in the top spot! Introducing The Auroras 2! These metallic shimmer shadows will bring out the bling in any special occasion … or occasional “Yes-I-made-up-my-face-just-so-I-could-stay-in” look. Looking for swatches on brown skin? I’ve got more pictures and a full review below!
On Black Friday, I made more than a few powder eyeshadow purchases and one of my MUST HAVES was the Beauty Escape Cosmetics Sinister collection. I’d been drooling over these on Instagram and the second they become mine, I knew I had found a jewel. Interested in learning my thoughts on these shadows plus the two singles – The Huntsman & Aretmis – that I picked up? Keep reading to find out more below!
Anastasia Beverly Hills had an INCREDIBLE Black Friday sale with discounts on everything on their website. I was able to purchase a few of their shadows and began immediately slathering them all over my eyes the first chance I got!
Remember when MAC Cosmetics teased us with limited edition scented Fix+ sprays? Well, I’ve found a dupe for the rose scented one and boy are you going to be surprised where! For all your primer / setting / refresher spray needs, The Body Shop Vitamin E Hydrating Face Mist has filled my home (and my heart) with its rosy perfection. I don’t think I’ve incorporated a new product into my daily makeup routine so quickly – EVER! Find out what all my fussing is about in the post below!
What can I say? The scent was amazing and the formula was the same one I knew and loved! As time went by, I used all my backups and I’m sure I’m not the only one crying internally from rose spray deprivation. But this The Body Shop spray makes my rose loving heart happy again!
I’m not sure where The Body Shop Vitamin E Hydrating Face Mist has been hiding, but I’m sure glad it was love at first spray when I tested it at the brand new The Body Shop store in Austin at The Domain last Friday. How in the world we’ve been separated all these years will remain a mystery, but we have already become best friends – very quickly.
The key to a flawless face is really a good setting spray and I’m a fan of everything from Urban Decay’s All Nighter to NYX Cosmetics Matte Finish Setting Spray. Using a setting spray helps combat the caked on finish of the abundance of powder products used on your face (setting powder, foundation, eye shadow, etc.) look less ‘powder-y’ when the look is all said and done. Personally, I wouldn’t leave home without it.
The Body Shop Vitamin E Hydrating Face Mist accomplishes the goal of a setting or finishing spray by helping you achieve a flawless face that looks very natural (non cakey). I was able to snag one free at the opening of the new Austin store, but I will tell you that I’m about to back this up ASAP. The spray is also only $8.50 right now (50% off holiday sale), making it more affordable to look flawless than ever before. This also means more backups for me! And because this is a permanent item, there is enough for us both!

A few months ago, I was gifted Juvia’s Place ‘The Nubian 2’ eyeshadow palette for my birthday and since then, I haven’t been able to get enough! I thought it was about time to make another purchase so I snatched up The Masquerade Mini during the Black Friday frenzy. Now that it’s here, I can say I am officially obsessed. I’m proclaiming it PALETTE OF THE YEAR. I’d say that’s love at first swatch, wouldn’t you? Keep reading to find out why I’m so infatuated!
With the holiday season in full swing, it’s only right to say that jewel tones are dominating my eyelids right now. One recently released palette has been catering to all my jeweled eye fantasies lately: Kylie Cosmetics’ Holiday 2016 Edition eyeshadow palette. As I’ve been oogling the colors, I decided to put together some dupes so you can recreate this look even if you don’t have/want the palette! Keep reading for all the details plus a look I did with my picks.Continue Reading
Looxi Beauty opened its virtual doors less than two years ago and in that time, I’ve racked up a crazy amount of Looxi products. The brand is undoubtedly my go-to for eyeshadows due to the great quality and affordable prices. I’ve done a roundup swatchfest in the past for the brand, but I figured it was about time to redo my swatches. What better time to do it than right before their blowout Cyber Monday sale! If you are eyeing any shades and wondering how they look on brown skin, take a peek below!Continue Reading
