I know you’ve heard it from me about a million times: cream blush is my favorite. For my dry skin, cream is the best. Also, I love that I can apply it with my fingers. I had been eyeing Youngblood Luminous Creme Blush. Luckily, I received it to try out. A couple of months ago, I reviewed …
For months, I was trying to subscribe to the new Sephora Play! subscription box. Like ipsy and Birchbox, it costs $10 a month for 5+ sample products. The new subscription from Sephora was announced last summer, and Boston was one of the test market or initial roll-out cities. I was beyond excited. I signed up immediately to …
Contouring and strobing have been the rage for the past couple of years. While I keep it natural looking, having good brushes makes the process easier.

A few months ago, I reviewed Rimmel ScandalEyes Gel Eyeliner (here) that I picked up when I was in the mood to try a gel eyeliner. It was relatively easy to apply, but my wing disappeared not long after I applied the liner. A number of readers suggested that I try L’Oreal Infallible Lacquer Liner …
I admit it. I am challenged when it comes to doing a neat manicure. I’m getting better, but I’m far from perfect. I’ve got a shaky hand especially when I have to use my right hand, my non-dominant hand. That’s why I can’t do fancy nail art. Enter Liquid Palisade Liquid Nail Tape. Liquid Palisade Liquid …
There’s a new trend in cleansers that I absolutely love: cleansers that are gentle and that remove makeup. One of my top tier skincare brands, Exuviance, has gotten on the bandwagon with new Exuviance Gentle Cleansing Creme. Yay! I received a full sized tube from Brandbacker to try out in exchange for an honest review. …
Barielle is a brand that I’ve been using for ages to help strengthen my nails. I was a big fan of their pink heavy nail strengthener that came in a pot.

It’s going to be a rude awakening for all the plants that are growing because they thought spring had arrived. Hopefully, the storm will veer out to …
