As I approach the annual celebration of having orbited around the Sun on Earth, a painful bout with sciatica had me looking at my lip product stash. It has been quite some time since I bought a lip product, and after a quick urgent care visit for pain management (because sciatica will never go away), …

BBA Musings: It’s Hard Out Here in These Cosmetic Streets
Hey there, Beautiful Blossoms! Yes, it has been quite some time since I last blogged, but there's just been too much activity outside the blog life that has kept me busy like a headless chicken. Anywho, morbid quip aside, my mind mused over the makeup brands I've come to own over the years and one …

Cosmetics: Recession-Proof (No More?)
It was a widely-held belief that the cosmetic industry is (almost) recession-proof, and it's easy to see why - how many times have makeup lovers declared that their favorite makeup item would have to be pried from their cold, dead hands? Or the countless times that if a decision had to be made between makeup …
Happy New Year!
It's been a super long time since I last wrote on the blog - unfortunately, I just had too many life events taking place that required every ounce of my strength and attention to resolve and/or power through (some are recurring issues), leaving me very little time to focus on this blog. But believe it …
BBA Musings Round 2: Post-Coronavirus
But do people really make a point to stare at how well the makeup was applied at the part of the face that's essentially covered most of the time
WWR: Mally Beauty Nude Attitude
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 …
