The first time I became aware of Mally Beauty was when my cousin and I visited Ulta and we happen to wander by the shelf space that the brand occupied. My cousin told me that her maternal aunt used their products via QVC and that it worked well for her. At that point, I felt …

The IMATS 2018 Deets
That I forgot to dish on. This one got put on a backburner in the midst of quitting my Pharmacy Technician job, flying back to my birth country, and finding work again as soon as I flew back (I actually was unemployed when I flew out), and my grandpa's health scare. To quote Morton Salt: …
Makeup I Thought I’d Love Forever # 1
But time proved me wrong and removed those rose-colored glasses. This first of many entries in this series (I really need to keep track of how many of these I've created) features two makeup products that weren't as great as I thought they were. I really thought I'd love the products mentioned in this series …
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 …
What Went Wrong: UD’s Naked Palette
In today's WWW, I'd like to blog about the palette that kicked off the never-ending craze for warm (arguably) neutrals: Urban Decay's Naked palette. Commonly referred to as Naked 1 - even though it was never released as such - this was hailed as an all-time favorite by beautytubers... that is, until the next free …
Outside My Beauty Bubble (Part 3)
In the last entry, I mentioned a brand that I had no access to in the US: BYS Cosmetics. The brand hails from Australia and is mainly available to Southeast Asia, Australia (obviously), parts of Europe and the Middle East, Southern Africa, and in Colombia and (soon) Chile in South America. At this time, there …
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! π
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 …
Currently Obsessed: e.l.f. and Laura Mercier (Part 2)
It wasn't long before I ended up at my favorite (wouldn't say local, since there are e.l.f. stores that are much closer to me than the one I like) e.l.f. store - my Planet Fitness was literally less than a 5 minute drive from it. Keeping the e.l.f. lipstick in mind, I made sure to …
