1 – Favorite Moisturizer Oil of Olay Definity Deep Penetrating Foaming UV Moisturizer I bought this the first time on accident.  I had meant to put the moisturizer next to it in my cart, but I was distracted by… something.  When I got home I was upset, but I opened it and figured I might […]

Black off!

The most frequently asked question I get is, “What’s the best matte black eyeshadow?” There are, arguably, three that would be listed as top contenders.  I sat down over a grueling few weeks to find out which black shadow reigns supreme.

EOTD – Phyrra

As I’m recovering from surgery, I opted not to do a full face for this look. I started with the darkest color towards the inner crease in this look, as I wanted to try something different than I normally do. Devil’s Bonfire was the perfect black for that, since it has holographic glitter and isn’t […]

Eat Cake!

I’ve had an odd fascination with Marie Antoinette ever since visiting Versailles many years ago. Until that point I didn’t get the true opulence of the palace and her lifestyle. And while it’s true, during the reign of her husband, Louis XVI the household budget was slashed dramatically and much the the palace left to […]

Primed and Ready

After I posted the Eden Primer review, I’ve gotten lots of inquires about which eye primer I prefer and which I think works best.  I figured that I’d sit and try some swatches out and see.  It really depends on what I reach for in the morning as to what I usually use.  I typically […]
