Easy, Beautiful Jar Makeup Boxes Storage as Decor

3:30:00 PM
I love jars. Maybe it's being Southern, maybe it's being an OCD makeup hoarder. I keep pretty much all of the boxes and containers from high end (and extra pretty low-end) makeup. There's several reasons: 1. They're gorgeous! You're paying for high-end, so might as well find a use for those gold YSL boxes and Kat Von D's hand-drawn designs. 2. In case...

Favorite Hair Care + Styling Products

3:00:00 PM
I'm definitely not a connoisseur of hair, but I am picky about what I use, especially since I went and stayed blonde about a year and a half ago. Another thing about my hair is that I'm about sixty years oldschool; I usually wash my hair every 5-7 days. No, it's not gross. My hair is pretty healthy for being bleached and toned...

What's In My Bag

3:00:00 PM
In another life, I was probably Mary Poppins... or just a crazy old lady who carried around a bag full of junk. I think I manage to keep it pretty compact; I hate schlepping around a huge purse. Yet I still manage to usually have anything anybody needs. Maybe the government should hire me. But then again, I'd rather not become their top...

Makeup Product Dislikes + Fails

3:30:00 PM
I'll be the first to admit that I'm definitely a bit picky when it comes to products. Rather than just having a massive collection of makeup, I like to have quality products I actually use and that work for me. I'm not going to keep around a palette or lipstick that doesn't make me feel confident when I wear it--whether it's patchy shadows,...

Sephora VIB Rouge Sale Purchases

To my best knowledge, every year in the spring and fall Sephora has a sale for its beauty members, ranging from 10% to 15% off depending on your membership tier. This year's spring sale began April 7th and ended the 13th for VIB Rouge, which I became end of last year. I stayed up the night of the 7th until it was 3...

My Blushes of February-March 2016

3:30:00 PM
Something that I am particularly particular about is blushes--certain colors, textures, and formulas. I don't buy them often because, like many products, I prefer to find a few I really like versus just collecting them up in heaps. I find myself drawn to one particular shade, so it can be hard for me to veer from it. Here is what I've picked up...

NYX Cosmetics Eyebrow Pencils: Photos, Review, & Swatches

3:00:00 PM
 I recently picked up one of each of Nyx's eyebrow pencils during a BOGO 50% sale on Ulta's site. I originally wanted the Anastasia Brow Wiz, but swatches showed that the Nyx Micro Brow is a bit more cool-toned, which is my main focus. I also saw that Nyx has a pencil in gray- like, totally grey! Perfect for platinum or silver hair....
