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… Continue reading Marc Jacobs Beauty Eye-Conic Edgitorial Shadow Palette: Luxe for Fall

Tarte Make Believe In Yourself Eye & Cheek Palette
I’ve been wanting one of the Tarte round shadow palette for more than a year. The round shape really appeals to me. Every time Tarte has a sale I look at them, but up till recently I haven’t taken the plunge. The previous round palettes are great, but I already had similar shades. But when… Continue reading Tarte Make Believe In Yourself Eye & Cheek Palette
PUR Love Your Selfie 2 Eye, Cheek and Lip Palette
I have a definite soft spot for all-in-one palettes. So when I received the Love Your Selfie 2 complete palette from PUR Cosmetics introduced following the success of last year’s original Love Your Selfie, I was psyched! Look how gorgeous even the packaging is! It’s a perfect, easy to reach for palette with almost… Continue reading PUR Love Your Selfie 2 Eye, Cheek and Lip Palette
Japonesque Velvet Touch Blush
Oh, I just love the name of this blush from Japonesque, Velvet Touch Blush, because that’s exactly what it feels like: velvet! I have been dying to try Japonesque Velvet Touch Blush since I saw it in the Ulta Beauty catalogue a couple of years ago. Truth be told, I fell in love with the… Continue reading Japonesque Velvet Touch Blush
Fall Makeup from Mineral Fusion
This is one review in which I can say with confidence that I’ve been using the products for months and can give you my best shot at an accurate assessment. I received several products from a brand I really like: cruelty-free, gluten-free Mineral Fusion. In the past year, I reviewed a number of mineral-based skincare… Continue reading Fall Makeup from Mineral Fusion

I have about a million concealers, many of which I like, but I’m always on the hunt for concealers that cover better, last longer, color correct when necessary. Recently, I succumbed to the siren song on Facebook of a concealer trio from a brand that was new to me, Judith August Cosmetics Solutions. Judith August… Continue reading Judith August Cosmetics Solutions Orange Masking Creme
A Breath of Spring 2016: Mirabella Lighten Up Collection
Just in time for real spring weather and the glorious summer yet to come, Mirabella sent me their new Lighten Up Collection Spring 2016. I’m in absolute love with these bright, warm spring hues that are perfect for this redhead…but frankly, I think they look great on brunettes, blondes, raven haired and pastel-haired beauties alike. Let’s take… Continue reading A Breath of Spring 2016: Mirabella Lighten Up Collection
Paul & Joe LE Silky Pressed Powder, Spring 2016
About a year ago, I saw a collection of makeup from Paul & Joe on several blogs. Each item featured jungle animals, I believe – one of the cutest collections ever. The brand has been on my mind since. Last week, I received an adorable white plastic compact in a silky drawstring bag featuring… Continue reading Paul & Joe LE Silky Pressed Powder, Spring 2016
Big Lashes with PUR Fully Charged Mascara
I have a number of favorite mascaras, and I usually prefer a smallish wand with plastic teeth. So when I received PUR Fully Charged Mascara, I was dubious. PUR Fully Charged got its name because it uses magnetic technology to create dramatic lashes. The folks at PUR say that the mascara’s “magnetic polymer matrix veils the… Continue reading Big Lashes with PUR Fully Charged Mascara

A couple of months ago, I reviewed… Continue reading My Perfect Blush: Youngblood Luminous Creme Blush, Tropical Glow
Friday Find: L’Oreal Infallible Gel Eyeliner
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… Continue reading Friday Find: L’Oreal Infallible Gel Eyeliner

Don’t stay up too late watching TV and your fellow bloggers’ Facebook feeds, lol! It can be dangerous! That’s what I did a couple of weeks ago.

New Maybelline Color Tattoo Concentrated Eye Crayons
This past weekend, I discovered new Maybelline Color Tattoo Eye Crayons in a display at my local CVS. It was buried on a dark lower shelf, but somehow I happened to spot it. I picked up two shades out of 10, though I don’t think the CVS display had all 10 shades. The shades I… Continue reading New Maybelline Color Tattoo Concentrated Eye Crayons
Rimmel ScandalEyes Waterproof Gel Liner
For some reason, I haven’t been using gel liners for a long time. But I decided I needed to go back to a gel liner to see if I could get a smoother line on my upper lid and see if it would be easier for me to make a good looking wing. Also, I… Continue reading Rimmel ScandalEyes Waterproof Gel Liner
