Aveeno Positively Radiant Maxglow Serum + Primer ($19.99) is a new hydrating facial serum that acts to not only hydrate skin and seal in moisture but also illuminates as well as primes it for makeup. According to Aveeno it’ll provide a lit-from-within-glow while multitasking as your facial primer and your serum all-in-one and that all sounds fantastic but I find that products that set out to perform a variety of different things are trying a little to hard and never quite succeed at accomplishing all that they promise.

None the less I was determined to try out Aveeno Positively Radiant Maxglow Serum + Primer to see how things went.

Maybelline Color Sensational Made For All Lipstick ($7.49 or Buy 1, Get 1 50% Off at Ulta) is a new collection of universal lipstick shades that was created to compliment a wide array of skin tones. Available in seven shades these lipstick colors were created with specially selected pigmented and tested over 50 different skin tones to be universally flattering. I think we all sort of cringe whenever the makeup world throws “universally flattering” at us. I’m of the mentality that you should wear whatever shades you like to wear but I’m also logically when it comes to certain nude lipstick shades I can’t pull off or certain eyeshadows that are too dark and make me look tired.

I like that Maybelline created these shades but I’m unsure if they are perfect for all skin tones. I personally have a hard time figuring out what shade compliments my own skin tone and never would feel like I have enough knowledge to recommend a shade for someone with a different tone than my own. That being said, I can speak from my own experience with the shades I purchased and I have to say I was pretty pleased with them and can see myself buying more. They just worked for me and I loved that and have hopes that other skin tones can say the same thing!

Ahhh blessed relief Christmas is over. Do you ever get that weird melancholy yet relieved feeling when the Holidays are over? It’s like, “Awww! I’m so sad it’s all over!” and “Thank god! I can clean up all this chaos, put away all these decorations, and rest for a moment!”

I love Christmas decorations but man, it’s so much work! Work to put it up but lovely when it is up and finally the feeling of “GOD I NEED TO CLEAN ALL THIS CLUTTER UP AND PUT IT BACK IN THE ATTIC!”

So yeah, I feel a bit sad Christmas is over but ever so relieved I can start taking down my tree and getting back to my normal life schedule that doesn’t involve parties and meetups every single night of the month.

Probably the best part of the Holiday season being over is perhaps a little relief from all the sales. Oh my gosh! It was an overwhelming year of sales! Makeup, clothes, accessories, anything and everything was on sale this year and it was overwhelming to keep up with it all.

Here’s some Holiday 2018 Makeup and Beauty Fails!

See if you agree!
