In the previous entry, I dabbled a bit about coming across counterfeit makeup. I've seen Internet talk about their existence and even saw news reports about them, but to see them in person is a bit of a rarity. You see, in NYC, counterfeits of major makeup brands is rare to see - there's just …
Outside My Beauty Bubble (1)
Hello, blogosphere! No, I haven't kicked the bucket - it is 5:04 AM as I type this sentence, and I'm just going to provide a quick TL;DR version as to why I have pretty much fallen off the face of the blogosphere. 1. Quit my job as a Pharm Tech almost a month ago. Only …
IMATS Weekend!
IT'S FINALLY HERE! IMATS AT NYC! I've been looking forward to this weekend since last year - there are some newcomers coming in and my go to regulars are back to take another crack at my poor wallet. Deets to follow. DEETS! 😂
Jelly
Today's mood is me being irrationally jelly. Of people in the mall who walk around with Sephora bags. No doubt they are happy with scoring something from the store. Or maybe they finally got the chance to get a gift for someone else. There will always be that air of mystery surrounding those black-and-white striped …
FoD: The MLM Adventures (Final)
I was going through my previous blog entries, trying to figure out which series were left hanging on a thread (I'm trying to get myself reorganized with my Series), and it turns out that I never finished the story of my time as an MLM rung/step/shill/seller.

Breather.
Hello, Beautiful Blossoms. Yes, it's me. And no, the site is not dead. It's just that so much has happened these past few months that it would be much simpler to list them in bullet points: New place but no steady Internet. Fender bender that's costing me quite the pretty penny. New job has me …
FoD: The MLM Adventures (Part 2)
From Part 1: I’m all for the “work grind” mantra – Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson lives and breathes it and so does Daymond John, “The Peoples Shark.” Sure, I may not seemingly practice that because I update the blog once in a while (switching jobs is not as easy as it looks – a lesson …
Frank on Depression: The MLM Adventures (Part 1)
Hey, Beautiful Blossoms! Yesterday I had the pleasure of reading an interesting (and occasionally funny) blog called "The Not Quite Fairy-Tales of Elle Beau," courtesy of a makeup Discord group I participate in. It was mentioned in the group at a good time for me because I needed something to calm me down but never …

a.k.a. why you shouldn't even spend $20 on the original Vera Mona or try to be cheap with a DIY version with an H&M Hair Donut and a tin can. Today's blog post sheds light on what has essentially become a very handy staple in my personal eyeshadow application: the BH Cosmetics Quick Change - …
