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 …

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 …

Me and Instagram Cateyes.

Or, to be fair, it's more drag makeup cateyes than Instagram cateyes. Anyway, I finally convinced myself to practice cateye makeup after telling myself (and buying a couple of e.l.f. eyeliners for practice) that I need to do it to get better with the cateye. Because I have shitty hand-eye coordination and, if you noticed …

Cubicle Makeup.

Or the frustration of wearing eyeshadows with them not being noticed.  At one point or another, you've heard about it or noticed that every brand's got that one palette with safe colors.  Cubicle makeup. Sometimes called "professional setting makeup, "office makeup," "work-safe," or something along that line. There's always a new term used to describe the …

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 …

Day 2 of 30: Decisions, Decisions…

While I'm waiting for the Urban Decay Primer Potion to dry a bit, I managed to find my Vice 4. And I learned that I am rather shitty when it comes to keeping my palette brushes clean: I haven't washed the double ended brush that came in the Vice 4. But that's minor compared to …

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 …

I’m Over Matte Lips. 

Yep. I'm over it. I tried it because it was a trend that seemed interesting, but I couldn't deal with the dry lips that came with it. Lip balm is a temporary fix but it also makes the stuff bleed faster, even with a lip liner. But I'm not over the moon with the glossy …
