I recently discovered the joys of NARS Dolce Vita Lipstick so of course NARS Dolce Vita Lipgloss had to come out of my stash and play too! It’s one of those universally flattering nude shades that most any skin type will love all over.

No zombie lips here! Just gorgeous, natural cool that always looks perfect.

Take a look!

I Stalk Edward Bess’s Instagram Account For…

His hair.

Maybe I should step back a second.

I love a man that has short hair. Ironically I am a huge fan of glam and metal bands and in most cases, the members have rather long hair. But that’s not my thing. I like a geeky kinda guy with short hair.

But Edward Bess?

I stalk that boy for hair pics.

He is so blessed.

That is all.

What makeup idols do you stalk on Instagram (good hair or otherwise!).

Have you hauled one?

Do share if you used it yet!

I just popped Minx in my final sale cart!

Have You Been a Victim of Poor Makeup Promotional Images?

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

So, you know how I’m always like, “OMG I can’t wear glowy highlighters on my fuller face!” But I have to admit that I have a serious addiction to glowy blushes. NARS Orgasm, Milani Blossomtime Rose Powder Blush (as seen below on my cheeks), Sephora Double Contouring Blush, these are just a few of my favorite blushes that give me a gorgeous, radiant glow.

I was browsing Sephora, as I have been known to do, and I came across the new Kevyn Aucoin The Pure Powder Glow and instantly clicked on the link. New glow blush? By Kevyn Aucoin? I’m so on that.

Kevyn Aucoin The Pure Powder Glow

So glow for me implies some radiant or luminous finish. According to the description, it’s a lightweight powder blush that brings a soft wash of color to cheeks with a warm glow.

Ok…

But dude, the promo images are boring.

I’m wondering if I should pick up Fira, which looks like a rather delightful corally orange and see how much “glow” we’re talking about here.

Is it possible Kevyn Aucoin’s The Pure Powder Glow is a victim of bad promo images?

Has it happened to you before?

You’re shopping online, and the description of some new makeup item sounds AMAZING but…

The Body Shop Oils of Life Intensely Revitalizing Essence Lotion Review

This was provided to me by a brand for review and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post but all opinions are my own.

If you’re not using an essence you should be and if you’re not using The Body Shop Oils of Life Intensely Revitalizing Essence Lotion ($24) you should be. Because it’s a good place to start on the essence path! It’ll be skincare life changing I promise.

Any good Korean lady or lad can tell you that at the heart of their skincare regime is essence. Now essence isn’t a toner, that’s what everyone automaitcally assumes and I’m hear to tell you it isn’t because typically essence products are thicker, more moisturizing, and have better ingredients than a mere toner such as hyaluronic acid. It’s a product you want to start with, it’s a product that acts as the base of your entire skincare routine. It’s a product that adds moisture, helps moisturizer absorb more easily, and helps skin retain that moisture.

The Body Shop Oils of Life Intensely Revitalizing Essence Lotion is a new and unique take on essence.
