Today's entry was prompted by a quick glance at this little bugger below: I picked this up during the good ol' days when e.l.f. standalone stores still existed (Pepperidge Farm remembers).

One Trick Pony
Or the reality of burnout in a super-saturated industry. I stopped keeping up with the latest-and-greatest releases in makeup. Even skincare. I'm tired and I just don't care anymore. Edit # 2: After some tinkering, here is the GIF that should have been here in the first place: One (if not THE NUMBER ONE) unspoken …
BAFT: Long-Wear Makeup
One interesting trait that I've noticed as of late is the industrial standard claim of "long-wearing" or "long-wear" makeup. As in, the makeup lasts so long, I don't need to bring my makeup kit for touch ups. It sounds convenient at first - I wouldn't have to worry about checking myself with my compact mirror …
Arm Swatches: Good for Pigmentation.
That's it. That's all they're good for. They're not an accurate representation of what the product is going to look like on its designated body part. So when people do those arm swatches of lip products? Yeah, they look nice and swanky, but you won't really know if they'll end up in every crack or …

BAFT: Sponsorships in Makeup Blogs / Vlogs
But what really got me to consider this topic for this week's BAFT was a chance reading of a fellow beauty blogger's site, where she was consistently accused of selling out to cosmetic companies for free makeup.
BAFT: Makeup Conventions
And with any fandom, you can bet that the more rabid fans will show up to see their idol in person.
BAFT: The YT Makeup Bubble (Part 2)
Granted, Ricky Reyes spent years honing his skill set as a hairstylist - I don't know how long most YouTube beauty vloggers have been doing makeup, so comparing the two would seem unfair, right?
BAFT: The YouTube Makeup Bubble (Part 1)
*Please check the What's New at BBA page to find out the schedule for the entries at BBA. Hello, Beautiful Blossoms! I know I gave a back-to-back entry last week with Currently Obsessed and then got really quiet until today, and I do apologize for the sudden silence. I was able to squeeze an entry …
