Getting Vegas-Ready With Grande Cosmetics

November 9, 2017

This post has been sponsored by Grande Cosmetics via ShopShare Network – all opinions are mine & based on my personal experience with the products. Several months ago I posted about my new obsession with liquid lipsticks, and girl, that train is still rollin’! Now that the weather is turning cooler and the furnace is kicking on, I’ve been switching over to fall colors and formulas. On top of that, I’m going to Las Vegas soon – sure, it’s for ...

ArtDeco Beauty Finally Delivers to the USA & I Feel Let Down

November 1, 2017

ArtDeco is one of those European makeup brands I’ve been pining for off and on for years. Our friends in Canada have had it for ages, of course, but they don’t have any stockists here as far as I know. How then, did I not realize until a couple weeks ago that their web store now ships to the US? This discovery coincided with a 30% off flash sale on their site, so I took the chance to try out a little bit of something new. Despite all the praise I’ve heard for the ...

KaplanMD Perfect Pout Lipstick is the Sunscreen You Won’t Forget

July 28, 2017

I’ve always thought I do a pretty ok job with sun protection – that is, right up until this year.

In other words I’m spending a lot more time outdoors than I used to, and the quick swipe of sunscreen on my face and arms just isn’t enough these days. I’m gradually ...

Liquid Lipstick Roundup

December 29, 2016

I was sooooo late to the game on the liquid lipstick trend it’s not even funny. It’s been what, like two years or so since people started losing their minds over them? At first I wasn’t interested because my lips are on the dry side and super-matte lipstick seemed like a bad idea. And then the ‘big’ ones were either from drama-stirring youtube beauty gurus like Jeffree Star or Instagram-fueled brands like ColourPop & Kylie Lip Kits, which again, ...

shiseido rouge rouge lipstick – a welcome break from the hype

December 15, 2016

So, yeah. Shiseido Rouge Rouge lipstick. At first I was going to start this post off with something along the lines of “OMG why is no one talking about these?!?!?” but the more I thought about it, that’s not really a hard question. Anymore it seems like the makeup scene (online, at least) is all Instagram brows-YASS QUEEN-beauty guru drama-Kylie everything, so I’m completely unsurprised there’s no hype train for an elegantly understated brand like ...
