I don’t need Becca Velvet Blurring Primer Perfecting Base but something is compelling me to buy it. Velvet Blurring Primer Perfecting Base is the brand’s newest face primer and it sounds heavily but if it contains silicones it likely won’t work for my drier skin not to mention I do so hate silicone primers.

But the formula sounds heavenly! They had me at feather-light and porcelain smooth with an airbrushed finish!

I figure if I can’t get the Woosh Beauty The Eyeliner Wheel to apply my eyeliner correctly I can at least use it to cut pizza right? Seriously, this is shaped like a little pizza cutter! Woosh’s roll-on eyeliner tool is actually the first of its kind. It’s for folks like me that fail terribly at applying eyeliner or those with shakier hands. The idea of the tool is to make that winged liner flick a lot easier for klutzy folks like myself.

Simply dip it into your favorite eyeliner and gently roll it onto your lash line to create a clean, straight, even line. Simple right? Well, sometimes they things seem simple but turn into horror shows. But count me curious I’d be quite willing to try out Woosh Beauty Eyeliner Wheel and see if it can help me to actually get that cat eye I’ve been desiring for the past several years but could never successfully do without creating a hot mess.

Woosh Beauty The Eyeliner Wheel is available now at ulta.com.

If all else fails there’s always that pizza cutting idea!

E.L.F. Cosmetics Water Droplet Balm ($10) is a new lightweight moisturizer that starts out as a balm but breaks down into a hydrating water once applied. And yes, you can go ahead and file E.L.F. Water Droplet Balm under cool because that’s what it is, COOL!

This is a pretty unique and innovative product that has a formula like nothing I’ve tried before. That’s saying a lot considering I’ve tried so many different skincare products from Japan and Korea and we all know how innovative Asian skincare is.

E.L.F. continues to pump out some very interesting and budget friendly skincare. They have been concentrating a lot lately on skincare and producing some solid hits and a few misses along the way but I can confidently say that Water Droplet Balm is worth a try and might just be a love for some of you!

I’m a little late with my review and swatches of the new Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Eye Shadow Palette but today I’m finally going to share my thoughts. By now you’ve watched a lot of videos and read a lot of reviews on this palette and most of them have probably been pretty negative. There’s a lot of controversy and drama surrounding the palette at the moment.

When I review a major launch like this I try to avoid reading reviews or watching videos until I can try the palette out for myself because I find my opinion can be unintentionally swayed by what someone else is saying. So, today I’m busy catching up on what everyone is saying and I’m not necessarily in agreement.

It deserves to be mentioned I am not a guru nor a makeup artist nor an artist. My first childhood memory that sticks with me to this day is the “What do you want to be when you grow up?” question. I remember it well because I knew, even at 4, what I wanted to be. I wanted to be an artist and that dream stayed with me well into high school (It was Junior year when I found out my true calling was technology). Needless to say, it didn’t work out. I can’t draw a stick figure! I’m telling you this because I really have very little skill when it comes to makeup. I love makeup, I love wearing makeup, but I don’t have the skills to apply it the way some bloggers or v-bloggers do. I’m pretty much a basic hobbyist at best. This is important to know because it plays a major role in my Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Eyeshadow Palette review.
