It’s FALL! My favorite season! And to celebrate, I’m going to do something I’ve been meaning to do literally since I started posting makeup seriously — rank some fall products! Now, I would not consider myself someone who strictly follows seasonal trends. I wear whatever colors I want year-round, although I do also enjoy doing … Read more
Sometimes you can’t stand to see a swatch party end. Thankfully, the good ol’ Internet allows us to relive the past — for better and for worse. But let’s focus on the “for better” side of things for now (we can always chat about those embarrassing photos from 2007 that just won’t die in the … Read more

Using Glam as a guide, we picked out our ideal transition, crease, lid, smoke, lash line, inner corner, and brow bone shades. And we spiced things … Read more

Their packaging tends to be sleek and minimalist, while their eyeshadows vary from staple shades to shadows with exciting textures and finishes. The Petit Pro Solstice is a bit of both — neutrals combined with a gorgeous duo chrome that pops beautifully … Read more
Anyone else feel like yellow polish doesn’t get enough love? Yellows are the most underrepresented color in my nail polish collection. But, when I wear yellow polish, I am always more than pleased with my mani.
I am always happy when I can find a new indie brand to support — and even happier when the brand is black-owned! So, of course, I was excited when the owner of Shine by SD asked me if she could send their Reserve collection my way. I hadn’t heard about the brand before, but … Read more
Paris Edit from Viseart is one of my favorite romantic palettes. The color scheme is classic — perfect for creating soft, date-night-ready looks. I can’t pronounce a single eyeshadow name (okay, maybe I can say “Opera,” but not in a fancy French way), but I can say that this palette is beautiful.
