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, …

Day 3 of 30: Frustration Outlet
Heylo, Beautiful Blossoms. I felt well enough to make an entry from this year's flu (very, very contagious) which had me tossing and turning in bed because my joints were achy - something that I've never had happen to me in all my years of having the flu. I also needed to let out some …
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 …
Hobbies are Expensive.
And makeup is no exception. Right now, makeup is a hobby to me. And holy shit, it's burned quite a hole in my finances. But it's not something I regret at all - I'd do it all again if I could. Except I'd probably skip the contouring shit because my contouring products are barely touched, …
TRE: Complaints About Makeup Holiday Sets.
It is September and if you've been keeping up with the latest and the greatest in the beauty scene, brands have begun to roll out their holiday sets.

I kinda figured I'd see …
Kiko Single Eyeshadow and NYX Stick Highlighters
Today, I went to Kings Plaza because I couldn't stand being cooped up. I was supposed to have done training for a job that I would have worked, but it fell apart and we no longer fit like a jigsaw puzzle. So what to do on an accidental day off? I wanted to get a …

TRE: When the Addiction is Too Real…
This week's TRE does not feature the Kardashian-Jenners, KFC's weird ass chicken-scented sunscreen (I'm beginning to think that KFC is pushing the Soylent Green agenda to reality), YouTube beauty vlogger drama (I don't mind the tea spilling but it's getting tiresome tbh), or any other mainstream beauty news. Rather, it's going to be about BBA …
BBA Wants: Beauty Bakerie Cosmetics
After lurking on reddit's makeup subs for some time and growing weary of the well-known makeup brands on the market, I found myself fascinated by indie brands that don't get as much promo as the major beauty players. After constantly Googling makeup out of boredom during my break, Beauty Bakerie caught my eye. At first, …
TRE: My Half-Baked Lighting Studio
This week, I made an exception to The Raised Eyebrow because for the first time, a makeup product or trend didn't have me raising it: rather, it was an incomplete order that I recently made that did it. And not in a what-the-actual-fuck way, but more of a the-fuck-is-this-bullshit way. You see, I felt like …
