After scouring the blog scene and not finding one that actually “speaks” to me, I decided to start my own. I am a culture obsessed, self-proclaimed beauty junkie, fashion enthusiast, and lover of all things shiny and luxurious. I have varied interested, so this blog will reflect that: fashion, beauty, love and life.

They are also rich in … Continue reading Nectarines are July’s Fruit of the Month

Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Natural Review + Get Ombré Lips

I have never been a huge fan of lipstick. I like the glossy, moisturized pout that only lip gloss can provide.

The lipsticks … Continue reading Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Natural Review + Get Ombré Lips

I am nowhere near walking down the aisle, but I already know what I will be selecting for three out of the four areas on the list.

So, what’s a dark-skinned beauty to do? Apply sunscreen, of … Continue reading A Sunscreen just for Ethnic Skin Tones
