At some point in their life every little girl dreams about being a Disney princess. The beautiful castle, handsome prince charming and happily ever after, is all too enchanting to not believe all the magic will happen in the future. Then, you grow up, reality sets in, and you realize life is not a big fairytale; yet, you can still always dream. And, what better … Continue reading Disney Reigning Beauties Cinderella Collection by SEPHORA
FTC Disclosure: These products were provided by a pr firm for review. This week I tested an innovative new lip product, Vitality Lip Flush 4-in-1 Natural Anti-Aging Lipstick by It Cosmetics. The multitasking lip flush takes the place of four products by providing a long-lasting lipstick, anti-aging lip balm, hydrating lip gloss, and lip stain all in one tube. Formulated with all-natural ingredients such as shea … Continue reading Vitality Lip Flush 4-in-1 Natural Anti-Aging Lipstick Stains
FTC Disclosure: These products were provided by a pr firm for review. Ladies, we’ve all been there before. We’re out late at night and try to do one thing: reapply our lip gloss. In theory, this should be an easy feat, but when you can’t see to make sure you are carefully filling in the contours of your pout perfectly, the result can be disastrous. The … Continue reading Illuminating Light Up Lip Gloss by Beauty for Real
When you see an Andy Warhol painting, there’s no mistaking it. Vivid illustrations scream off his canvases, and are absolutely impossible to miss.

Exclusively available at Sephora, the collection features bright, electric colors for eyes, lips and cheeks. In celebration of the launch of NARS Pop Goes Sephora, … Continue reading Limited-edition NARS Andy Warhol Collection Launch

I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to stealing my mom’s red lipstick as a kid and singing into a hair brush to Madonna’s “Material Girl” in front of a mirror. Even though I didn’t have a comparable Marlin Monroe pink dress Madonna replicated in the video, I did have the iconic red lips. The only problem was, my mom’s crimson lipstick didn’t exactly match … Continue reading Lips like a Material Girl
I’ve always had a difficult time finding a foundation to match my skin tone (read my foundation horror story here). My mixed ethnic background has produced a shade that’s darker than medium, but lighter than olive. Even when I tan, I still find it hard to find a foundation that matches, which is why I tend to stick to tinted moisturizers. My quest for a … Continue reading In search of “The One” – Sephora + Pantone Color IQ Review
I have never been a huge fan of lipstick. I like the glossy, moisturized pout that only lip gloss can provide. But, I do love the staying power of lipstick, which is why I tend to wear it underneath gloss for long-lasting color. This week I tested 3 lipsticks from Make Up For Ever’s Rouge Artist Natural line: N47 (Red Brick), N50 (Aubergine), and N34 (Candy Pink). The lipsticks … Continue reading Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Natural Review + Get Ombré Lips
Warm, golden skin never goes out of style. Learn how to get the ultimate summer glow all year round without looking like an Oscar statue. I am obsessed with bronzer. Something about its healthy-looking flush of color and ability to illuminate skin makes bronzer utterly addicting and a staple in my makeup pouch, regardless of the season. When I was first introduced to the product I … Continue reading Bronzed Ambition: Fake a Healthy Glow the Right Way
I’m not exactly the most organized person when it comes to my makeup. When I first started accumulating beauty products in large amounts, I began storing them in a very large suitcase with a lock, out of the fear that my two sisters would steal from me when I wasn’t looking – not that I would even notice. But, I am greedy when it comes … Continue reading Getting Organized – Why I love my Caboodles
