Actually, I had planned to post this review yesterday along with the Thrive Eye Primer review, but my review was so long already. So here’s Part 2! Thrive Infinity Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Pens To be honest, I don’t wear liquid eyeliner very often. On my mature skin and eyes, black liquid eyeliner is just too …
I’ve been trying more and more makeup and skincare products from Thrive Causemetics. Over the past couple of years, I’ve bought a bunch of products to try that I’ve reviewed (the fabulous lengthening mascara and the brow gel that I still haven’t reviewed yet) as well as some products that Thrive sent me for review. …
PR Samples, Affiliate Links Back in early July, I wrote about three terrific and affordable lip products from Sormé Treatment Cosmetics. I wear the Lip Rescue lip crayon several times a week. It’s hydrating and the MLBB pink shade is perfect for days when I’m at home, exercising outside or out doing errands. The lip …
A few months ago, I wrote a review of CoverGirl’s Perfect Penny, rose gold nail polish. And I mentioned how much I LOVE rose gold. To me, it’s the prettiest of the metals, and I think it’s the most flattering with my coloring. I think it looks great on women of all skintones and coloring …
I lucked out when @Influenster chose me to receive one of the new Marc Jacobs Beauty Eye-Conic shadow palettes. I requested the green and gold Edgitorial palette, and that’s what I was sent to try out for free! I’ve been using it for almost a month, so I wanted to share my thoughts and swatches …
I was excited when I heard that the U.K.’s affordable makeup brand, ModelsOwn, was coming to Ulta Beauty. I went in search of their cute display, and I was trying to decide what to try. I had read a number of good reviews of ModelsOwn so I was eager to find something for my first …
One way to make your eyes look bigger and more pronounced in a more subtle way is to tightline your eyes. Some people call tightlining “invisible eyeliner”. Actually, tightlining is a technique that makes your lashes look fuller, so you actually have more of a no makeup or less makeup look, while still drawing attention …
Instrument of torture or useful lash lining tool? I tightline my eyes every day, or just about every day. With my blonde lashes, my eyes don’t have enough oomph without eyeliner and mascara. However, I often think that black eyeliner on me is too harsh. On the other hand, tightlining – creating a line between …
I’m a matte shadow lover. I own more matte palettes than anyone I know. But I also love cream shadows. So when Milani sent me all four of their Fierce Foil Eyeshine palettes several weeks ago, I knew I had to move out of my matte shadow comfort zone. Milani Fierce Foil Eyeshine are …
Last week, I went out to dinner with my friend, Kim, to celebrate her birthday. Since it was a happy and festive event – even though it was just the two of us on a Tuesday night, I decided to go with celebratory makeup and that means taking a break from my usual neutral matte …
A few weeks ago, I got another unexpected gift from my dear friend in Ohio who definitely knows my taste in makeup! She’s the kind soul who sent me the Tarina Tarantino Dollskin Cheek blush that I adore and reviewed a while back, and she added to my TT collection by sending me one of …
Last winter, I picked up a couple of the Rimmel ScandalEyes eyeshadow sticks/crayons in taupe and brown matte shades. I mentioned Trespassing Taupe and Bootleg Brown in a post about my CVS haul, but I ended up liking them so much I wear them all the time. They really are my go-to eye shadows for everyday, …
I’m a big fan of Lorac eye shadow palettes. So my sole purchase during the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty was the Lorac Riesling Romance Eye Shadow Palette. This pretty and portable limited edition palette came out in late November 2015 and was the Cyber Monday special at Ulta. I missed it then and didn’t want …
During a recent trip to Ulta, I noticed a “Buy One, Get One for 50% off” at the NYX display. NYX is a brand of affordable Korean cosmetics that the young saleswoman told me were similar to Urban Decay in terms of colors and products. What a find! I was looking for eye pencils in …
