The moment I found out Beautylish had started selling Bioderma I may have done a little dance. I had been wanting to try the famous French make-up remover ever since I heard some of my favorite UK Youtubers singing it's praises. I had debated buying it from international websites, but the shipping prices always made me pause. But now it's finally here in the States! First of all, can we talk about how cute Beautylish's packaging is? I really love when a company goes beyond simple ...

February Favorites
Happy March everyone! Spring is almost here! Or at least I hope so, currently we're experiencing freezing rain here in Ohio and it's supposed to snow again tomorrow. It's not that I mind the snow, it's just the having to leave the house when there's snow thing. Anyway, I thought I'd do my first monthly favorites post! This month's favorites are all newer purchases (aside from the eye shadow palette and Jo Malone perfume sample) that I'm really enjoying! Pura d'or: If you didn't catch my ...
NYX Intense Butter Gloss – Review & Swatches
A couple weeks ago I picked up the new NYX Intense Butter Gloss range at Ulta. There's 12 shades and I just couldn't resist trying them all! Some things remain the same as the original Butter Glosses, the texture is still that wonderful non-sticky feeling and the scent is still perfectly sweet. But there's one main difference: they're all super pigmented. The applicator is also a little different than originals, it's a flat spatula applicator. It made it pretty easy to apply the ...
Benefit’s Roller Lash Mascara – Review
Yesterday I received my February Birchbox in the mail and was so excited to find Benefit's new Roller Lash! This mascara has been absolutely every where on the blogs lately and I couldn't wait to give it a try! The packaging is super cute and as always it has such a great retro vibe to it. The claims are that the eye-opening Hook ‘n’ Roll™ brush grabs, separates, lifts and curls…while the instant curve-setting formula holds for 12 hours. 87% said it gives long-lasting curls, 97% said it visibly ...
NYX V’Amped Up Lip Top Coat – Review & Swatches
Yesterday I stopped into Ulta to pick up the Intense Butter Glosses (Review and swatches for those coming soon!) and decided to grab the new V'Amped Up Lip Top Coat. It's a black glossy lip pencil, which deepens the color of whatever lipstick you're wearing. The above swatches are using the NYX Butter Lipstick line, with V'Amped Up on the left and without on the right. The only thing I wish was different was the shape of the pencil, it needs to be a sharper point to really be able to ...
NYC Haul
When my sister and I visited New York City back in December I knew I wanted to do a bit of shopping, as one does in NYC. I thought I’d check out the stores we don’t necessarily have here at home and pick up a few things. I didn’t plan on stopping into NARS, but I’m glad I did. (My bank account feels differently, I’m sure.) I knew exactly what I was looking for, the gorgeous Velvet Matte Pencil in Red Square. I had been coveting the red orange color for quite a while now, but it always seemed ...
