There are very few foundations that I believe the hype on until I try it; the foundation is so personal and based totally on preference. Everyone's skin is different and everyone has different likes and dislikes when it comes to what they want out of a foundation. Personally, I prefer a hydrating, light-full cover…

This month went by in a blur but also very slowly. It was a rough month for some personal reasons but also a happy one because 1) the weather got cold, 2) Thanksgiving, 3) I turn 25 in two days. November is definitely my 2nd favorite month (October being the first) so I was happy to have it pass by a little more slowl…

When Fenty Beauty was being buzzed about, I don't think I was as excited as everyone else in the beauty world. I didn't really get why it was being talked about the way it was being talked about. I mean, I get that it's Rihanna's makeup line and Rihanna is BOSS but to me, it was just another brand. Th…

I've been on a huge foundation kick lately. I feel like there has been a lot of different releases over the past few months and I want to try them all. I've never been a huge foundation person--some days I skip it altogether, or just go with a trusty powder foundation ( I love this one ) but lately I just can&…

I have been on a huge foundation kick lately. I'm just more attracted to foundations that I have been in a while and I want to try them all. Liquid, cream, powder, cushion -- give me them all, please! It could also be owed to the fact that a lot of beauty brands have been releasing new foundations left and right. …

I've come to the realization that beauty products are my vice. I cannot resist the latest launch from a major brand or buying something cool I see in a Youtube video. My room/bathroom looks like a mixture of a drugstore and Sephora. As my mom puts it, "You have so much STUFF!" And I do, I cannot help it.…

Honestly, I don't feel like January went by that fast. I can barely remember the beginning of the month.  January is one of my least favorite months so part of me is happy to see it go but the other part despises February so I'd rather January stick around. It's one step closer to Spring and I just love th…

I have never been to an Ulta, never seen one in person but longed for the feeling of this beauty product heaven. Too much of my surprise and delight, a brand new Ulta store opened up at a local shopping center near my house and I was busting at the seams to take a visit. Well, this weekend, during NYC' rainy weath…

I love using Influenster and I love getting picked for VoxBoxess, a little complimentary gift box filled with lovely goodies from various brands and companies. I've done VoxBoxes in the past but I think the latest one I received is my all time favorite. I took a survey a few weeks back and was lucky enough to get …

Last week I ran out of everything: mascara, foundation, eyebrow pencil. My make up bag was crying and I was pretty much faceless.  I ran to CVS and stalked the beauty aisle until I found my lovely FIT Me Stick Foundation by Maybelline. I decided to purchase one shade darker than I usually do and it made a hint of a di…

My daily beauty routine has drastically changed over the past year. I've mentioned it before how having this blog has changed my beauty regime. I've discovered new products, tried out different things, and developed a much more appreciative attitude toward beauty products. I'm a person who loves routines a…

Even becoming a self proclaimed beauty "guru" over the summer and even with all the new products I've tried out, there was one type of make-up that every women uses that I had yet to tackle. The ever popular, ever controversial foundation. I've experimented with foundation before but liquid foundatio…
