Kat Von D 'Ink Liner', Trooper (Ultra Black), $19. In my original post, Best Long-Wearing Liquid Eyeliners, I mentioned that I had tried pretty much every liquid liner that claims to be long wearing or waterproof. I had tried the Kat Von D 'Tattoo Liner' and mentioned that one had failed my test. However,… Continue reading Waterproof Eyeliner Review: Kat Von D ‘Ink Liner’
Beauty Award: Hourglass 'Illusion Hyaluronic Skin Tint', $55, 1oz. Loooovveeee this formula! Holla to all my beauties with dry skin, have you noticed that for the most part all foundations that are marketed for dry skin are either light coverage, too watery or wipe off in two seconds?! This is not the case when it… Continue reading Dry Skin Foundation Review: Hourglass ‘Illusion Hyaluronic Skin Tint’
Hello Beautifuls! First off, I want to apologize for being MIA for a minute there. Now, without further ado... I think you all can agree that the worst thing about your favorite bold lip color is that it doesn't last very long, smears everywhere when you eat or drink and if you're really unlucky it… Continue reading How-To: Get the Longest Wear Out of Your Lipstick
I am a huge fan of waterproof makeup because I have really watery eyes from allergies and can't stand runny makeup. But, we all have favorite products and, if you're like me, just wish that they were waterproof (i.e. Too Faced 'Better Than Sex' Mascara, why are you not waterproof?!). Well, your wish just came… Continue reading How-To: Waterproof Any Mascara
Best Mattifying Primer: Becca Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector, 1.35 oz, $36 This stuff is the bomb!

All-Time Favorite Perfume: 'Flowerbomb' by Viktor & Rolf 3.4 fl oz, $165. 'Flowerbomb' has to be my all time favorite scent! It smells sooo good and pleasantly girly and slightly sweet but still sophisticated (it doesn't smell like that teeny-bopper sweet stuff at all)! The official notes that are listed are: bergamot, tea, freesia, jasmine,… Continue reading My Top Favorite Fragrances 2016

Best Translucent Talc-Free Setting Powder (For Dry Skin): bareMinerals "Hydrating" Mineral Veil, .21 oz, $21. If you have dry skin and you want a talc-free, translucent finishing powder, this is the best that I have tried. It is very difficult to find talc-free powders, so the selection is not super amazing. All bareMinerals powders are talc-free, so… Continue reading Best Talc-Free Setting Powders
AND THE WINNER IS....MAC LiquidLast Liner, 2.5ml, $20 This stuff seriously stays on all day! Although it does not claim to be waterproof, only 'long-wearing', I would consider this formula waterproof because even after I shower and wash my face there's still product left behind. I would recommend using a good eye makeup remover (right… Continue reading Best Longest Wearing, Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
