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 …
First Post 2018
*proceeds to duck from flying vegetables* Okay, okay. I have been out of the scene for quite some time, but hear me out. I made quite a big change in September of last year - I switched jobs and I also moved. This meant a whole lotta things, not the least of which are the …
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)

Currently Obsessed: e.l.f. and Laura Mercier (Part 1)
And one that I'm now certain that I will chuck out: NYX Lip Lingerie (because they made a Lingerie line for lids and I made the mistake of using it as a liquid lip). Welp, Beautiful Blossoms, I did say in an earlier post today that I was going to blog after work! Sure, it …

The BBA Makeup Workhorses
Hey, Beautiful Blossoms! I'm glad to be able to sneak in a blog entry today - between working my regular and overtime hours, shuffling between the old apartment and the new house, and trying to get my licensing exam in order, it's nice to be able to talk about something that's completely unrelated to all …
A Breather Entry
Hey Beautiful Blossoms! After being on hiatus for over a month, I finally got the chance to come back and just do a quick entry - I hadn't realized that the last entry that I wrote was on March 7, but that's what happens when moving plans fall apart get delayed, family members have a …
First Impressions: L’Oreal Truematch Lumi Cushion
Hey Beautiful Blossoms! I gave my self-purchased L'Oreal Truematch Lumi Cushion in N4 (Buff Beige) a run today because I've been itching for a more convenient way to put on face makeup on the go without having to bust out a foundation brush and take a painstaking 10 minutes (this is the fastest I can …

Active on Insta. Blogging… Not So Much.
Intagramming is hella easy. You just gather the stuff you like, snap a pic with a phone or tablet or an iPod, and voila: easy peasy lemon squeasy result. My Insta feed has featured a shit ton of haul pics. It's no secret that I'm a makeup addict (and I don't say that with pride, …
