I’m always on the hunt for my next favorite product. After some reading and sampling (thanks Sephora) I’ve curated a list of products to pick up and play with. I always get so excited at the thought of trying something new. The thought of finding that Holy Grail product is what keeps me shopping and buying. Here are the items […]
I first became aware of Lora Arellano a few years ago after Rihanna tagged her in an Instagram photo. I’ve been a big fan of Rihanna’s makeup looks for a long time, so when I discovered Lora was Rihanna’s makeup artist, I immediately became a big fan of Ms. Arellano. I started following her on Instagram and on Snapchat and […]
As a hopeless product junkie, it’s no surprise that I tried quite a few beauty products in 2017. There were some duds, a few meh, and thankfully, several amazing finds. Some of those finds were so great that they are now beauty routine staples, and my skin hasn’t looked this good in a long time. From a multi-tasking serum to […]
I love face masks. Sheet masks, gel masks, cream masks, charcoal masks, I love them all. And I’m always game for trying something new. With the plethora of face masks on the market, I’ll never have a shortage of products to try. When I heard about the Zombie Pack Face Mask, I was overly anxious to try it. What this […]
In the makeup world, foundation is, without a doubt, the one product that can make or break an entire look. The right foundation can convey an appearance of healthy, flawless skin. And on the flip side, the wrong foundation can make you look older, sickly, or — the worse — dead. Even if you already have great skin, just a […]
Rihanna has been the inspiration for many of my makeup looks. A quick scroll through the photos on my phone would reveal more than a few screenshots of RiRi that I’ll use for later makeup inspo. So, I had no doubt that I would LOVE her new makeup line, Fenty Beauty. Sold exclusively at Sephora (my home away from home), […]
Whether you’re a product junkie or a makeup neophyte, chances are you’ve purchased some type of highlighter (and maybe even watched a few You Tube tutorials) to mimic the look of healthy, glowing skin. Back in the early 2000’s, Jennifer Lopez’s luminous skin was #goals for thousands of women. Those women bought hoards of highlighters and luminizers all in an […]
When you reside in the desert, parched skin is a residential hazard. The battle against dry skin is tough and unfair. To put it mildly — I no likey dry skin. Even as a resident of Hawaii, where the humidity is high, the primary focus of my skin care routine was hydration. In my opinion, everyone’s primary skin care focus […]
Ever heard of tubing mascara? Yes. Great, you can move on and read the review of my absolute favorite tubing mascara. No. Man you’re missing out! But don’t fret. I’ve got your back. I’ll explain what it is and why you should buy a tube — or two. If someone asked me the perennial product junkie question: What’s the one […]
Perhaps it was my inner product junkie that attracted me to the Korean 10 step skincare routine. Buy 10 different products just for my face? Count. Me. In. Or maybe after living in Seoul for two years, the start of my obsession with K-beauty, I simply realized that Korean women have the skincare game on lock. Whatever the reason, I began my […]
