BAFT / TRE : Reading Really IS Fundamental

Today's entry was prompted by a quick glance at this little bugger below: I picked this up during the good ol' days when e.l.f. standalone stores still existed (Pepperidge Farm remembers). This particular foundation was designed for people with oily skin (and I wasn't too fond of the other type of foundation that was available. …

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. Some of them are interesting to the makeup newbie, but there are a lot of complaints coming from the seasoned beauty buyers regarding the quality of these …

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 …

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 …

TRE: I Can’t Even…

Heylo, Beautiful Blossoms. And no, you're not dreaming or hallucinating. And no, it's not the end of the world and a sign of the Apocalypse. July turned out to be the roughest month of the year for me (so far) in an overarching way and for once, I couldn't turn to makeup blogging or vlogging …

TRE: Holiday Palettes… in July???

What's up, Beautiful Blossoms? Yes, this week's text entry came in rather late today because I just came back from a birthday/graduation get-together at my neighbor's house and it took me a while to figure out if there was anything to write about for this week's TRE entry. Nothing major has happened in the beauty …

The Raised Eyebrow: Gen Beauty 2016

Hello, Beautiful Blossoms. I wish I could say "Happy Sunday" like everything is fine and dandy, but I'm sure the whole world has been informed about one of the roughest weeks in recent United States history. I don't intend to get political with this blog post, but I can't deny just how deeply hurt I …

TRE / BAFT: FLOWER Beauty and Insta Makeup

What's up, beautiful blossoms?! I did say I was going to attempt writing an entry today as scheduled and I'm here. And yes, BAFT is making a one-time comeback today, thanks to YouTube MUA Jordan Liberty's video on Instagram makeup on the second half of today's entry. But first, time to get my raised eyebrow …

TRE: Beauty Tube Drama / Officially Back!

Hey Beautiful Blossoms! Surprise surprise, I'm posting today! And yes, I know I have a history of suddenly dropping off the face of the earth, but this time around it was due to three things: 1. Unplanned trip to Maryland with the Pops. 2. Wedding anniversary in Atlantic City. 3. Moving. 4. Flying to babysit …

The Raised Eyebrow: Too Faced

Before I get pelted with rotten vegetables, hear me out first, please? I'm aware of Too Faced's cult favorite status, thanks in part to their Chocolate-themed palettes Chocolate Bar, Bon-Bons, Semi-Sweet, and their Melted Chocolate liquid lipstick. But lately, the company has been causing quite the toothache with their recent palette, Sweet Peach, and their …
