Girlfriends I have used what seems like dozens of foundations over the last several years. I decided with my latest skin problems that perhaps I was in need of a change in foundation. That said I decided to test out a few new (to me) foundations against my current MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof foundation.…
Girlfriends I have been hearing the praises of Laura Mercier’s Translucent Setting Powder for years it seems. When I traveled in Europe a few months ago with contributor Melissa I used hers a few times to bake my face and liked the results, but hadn’t used it consistently to form judgement either way. Over the…
I have been watching makeup and beauty YouTube channels for years. I love watching them primp and prime and show off all the wonderful makeup that they just bought. Sometimes it is my escape from reality or what I like to watch when I’m on the treadmill. The problem with this little hobby is that…
Truth be told I probably don’t clean my brushes as often as I should. It always seems like a daunting task, but it has to be done. I use Dr. Bronner’s pure-castile liquid soap to wash my beauty blender and brushes. I find it works well and is super affordable. Yesterday I picked up a…
I think I have a problem, there is a subscription box on my doorstep weekly! Could be worse, right?! I signed up for the Sephora Play! box a few months ago and finally received my first a few days ago. Sephora’s subscription box is $10 a month and works similarly to ipsy, GLOSSYBOX, etc. Each months…
I cannot tell you how many mascaras I have purchased in my lifetime. Top that off with the fact that I’m a sucker for cute packaging and I have literally purchased one from every brand under the sun. Think Dior, Benefit, Mac, YSL, Givenchy, the list goes on and on and I am never that…
Like I’ve said before, I really do love ipsy and some months are better than others. That’s just the nature of these subscription bags and boxes. This month I received a cream blush, highlighting brush, a lipstick, two masks and a finishing powder. There were a few hits, and a few misses.. Naked Cosmetics HD…
Hi Girlfriends! We all love animals, right? Why should we support the brands that blindly test on animals? Well until recent years many, if not most cosmetic companies have tested their products on animals, so sad! If you follow peta on social media you’ll see some of the first hand cruelty that goes on behind…
My Girlfriend that has the longest most gorgeous natural lashes, recently told me about her fave new mascara by Milk Makeup! Well of course I had to give a whirl. I’ve been toggling between Benefit’s They’re Real! and Too Faced, Better than Sex mascaras. I found that the Benefit mascara is wonderful overall for looks,…
I was soooooo excited to try this brand spanking new lipstick and liner duo as I’m a HUGE fan of the they’re real mascara! I ordered it online from Sephora (as it’s not in stores yet) and received it this week. My first impression is that the liner portion isn’t quite doing it for me.…
