Hey everyone! For my prom last March, I bought this gorgeous lip gloss at Sephora ($26) to match my hot pink BCBG dress. Lancome advertised this gloss as a medium coverage gloss and I agree. It seems a bit sheer at first which is frustrating because the color looks so phenomenal in the tube, but with a few more coats you can build it up pretty well. It is not a sticky, heavy feeling gloss at all which I love, and it has a wonderful floral perfume fragrance. What's most interesting about this gloss though is the applicator. It's a tear drop-shaped foam applicator which I find picks up the product well but isn't necessarily better than a standard applicator. It actually bends very easily on the wand, which makes me feel like it's going to fall off haha, and personally I like firmer brush applicators when I can find them. But overall, the color is so fun and sparkly, while the medium coverage makes it more wearable so I loveee this gloss! This gloss comes in 14 shades.

Jemma Kidd I-Tech Liquid Liner in Covert

Hey everyone! I've had Jemma Kidd's liquid liner in Covert ($16 at Target with a few other amazing colors) for quite sometime now, but seeing as how brighter colors are so much fun for summer I've been using it as a pop of color with my regular black eyeliner and I really love it! I also decided to post it because I find it similar to a recently very popular product, Lancome's Artliner in Beach Gem. I heard very often that people find it hard to find well pigmented glitter liners and this one is AMAZING!


Covert is a ridiculously long lasting, pigmented, vibrant, teal liquid liner that so reminds me of summer and the beach. It looks great with my green eyes, due to its green reflects, but I think it would look equally stunning in contrast with brown eyes or using the teal tones to enhance blue eyes.  One thing to note though, the brush is very thin and precise which is great, but it picks up a lot of product and is also a bit flimsy so for beginners with liquid liner it may be a bit difficult to use. As well, this is so long lasting (which makes it great for swimming and the beach) but it is pretty difficult to remove, especially if it gets on your lashes.


All things aside, look how beautiful it is!

I couldn't resist making a little design :) This pic came out a bit blurry, but the true effect is how it looks in the tube!

Revlon Blase Apricot Lipstick

I picked this up at the drugstore a few weeks ago in an attempt to find an inexpensive (it's $8.99) option to follow the coral/orange trend for this summer. I love the new vintage-inspired packaging and I think the Moon Drops name for the collection is pretty interesting lol.  It is a coral/orange/pink shade that really brightens up my face. The formula leaves a very pigmented, creamy finish and does tend to show the lines in my lips but just slightly. I apply this lightly because it has an unusual nude undertone that washes me out a bit if I put on too much, but otherwise I think it's such a fun, unique, and bright color that everyone should try!

Splendid Shadows

Left to Right:
-MAC Talent Pool ($14.50)
-Pixi No.3 Nude Nouveaux ($14.00)
-NARS Bali ($23.00)



These are some of the most beautiful and pigmented shadows I have ever come across!

Talent Pool is a gorgeous shimmering aqua with a hint of green reflects. I almost never wear colors in the blue family, but it is perfect for summer and would look stunning on brown eyes. Because it is so bright and I tend to stay with neutral shades, I run this along my lower lashline for a pop of color.

Bali is clearly the most pigmented of the three, and the most expensive. Although the price makes me cringe, I was lucky enough to receive it as a holiday present. Yet having used it I personally think it is worth the price tag. The packaging is adorable, the case is hard to describe, it is hard with this rubbery feel, and comes with a convenient mirror inside. It's a pure matte rich dark brown that is essential in every collection and its quality is outstanding.

Nude Nouveaux I bought on a whim. I had swatched the shadow in Target and thought it was so wonderfully velvety that I had to have it. I am obsessed with shimmery champagne shadows so I thought this would just add to the many I already have but I was dead wrong. This is my "holy grail" eyeshadow! I try to branch out to my other shadows but I always end up using this one practically every day. This shadow is magical; I can use it all over my lid during the daytime as it runs gold/champagne with a hint of pink, or at night where it somehow turns a slight silver tone perfect with jet black liner. AHHHH i love this!

March Favorites!

Hey everyone! 

I LOST MY CAMERAAAA!!! :(
I've been doing my best to find it and hopefully I will soon. But for the time being, I still wanted to show you my favorites so I just took some pictures from online. Enjoy!

Sephora Collection Doe Eyed Felt Tip Liner 
For years I have used my L'oreal Lineur Intense to master my winged liner (which I do everryyy day) but I decided I wanted to see if I could find something better. Although I'm not totally satisfied with this and am still looking for something even better (the tip is already a little frayed and I have to shake it sometimes to make the product come out) I think it is soooo easy to use, inexpensive, and I'm enjoying it for the time being! 

Pixi Solo Light Eyeshadow in Nude Nouveaux (unknown shade pictured)
The shade I have is a frosty/shimmery taupey champagne color with a bit of pink? haha That's the best way I can describe it. I absolutely love shimmery shadows because they just make my eyes sparkle and for the past month I have been reaching for this pretty much every day because it's such a versatile, every day shade. 

Covergirl Naturelux Gloss Balm in 203 Coral
I was so excited when this product came out because I am obsessed with lip balms and the range of colors for these is amazing!! I would say this is a good combination between a gloss and a balm because it is pretty moisturizing (nothing heavy duty) and it gives a sheen to the lips. But because it is not a true liquid gloss it does show the lines in my lips a bit and doesn't make them look fuller or anything. When I first bought this shade I didn't find it very pigmented but now that I've used more of it and warmed up the product it is so pigmented! Once I put on a bit too much and my lips were legit orange... not good! But I really like this especially due to the popularity of orange lips this season and I would love to try more shades

Bad Gal Lash Mascara
THIS MASCARA IS AMAZING!! I know that it's been popular for so long and I'm one of the last to try it, but it took me forever to finally splurge for a non-drugstore mascara. I bought the sample size and because I have so many other mascaras that I use on and off it has lasted me a good amount of time. It makes my eyelashes sooo voluminous but not clumpy which I lust for. Sadly for my wallet, I don't think I can live without this I will definitely be repurchasing!

Lancome's Precious

Hey everyone! I can't believe that it's been over a month since my last post and I'm so so sorry! First I had midterms, then I had ACTs, and recently a family member of mine passed away so things have been hectic to say the least. But I wanted to show you guys a really unique lipstick I've had for a while and I've also included some dupes in case you can't get your hand on this particular shade. Enjoy! 

Lancome Sheer Magnetic Lipstick in Precious $20-$25
This lipstick is a very sheer electric purple shade with blue and purple glitter in it. It looks alarming in the tube, but on the lips its quite toned down and I don't find the glitter to be chunky at all. 

L to R: Precious, Smashbox Smile Brightening Lipgloss (almost exact dupe), Revlon Lipgloss in Lilac Pastelle, MAC Lipglass in Eclectic Edge
