I can’t do a Thrive Causemetics review without mentioning their famous Liquid Lash Extensions mascara. Admittedly, I didn’t like this mascara back when I tried it. See the original post HERE. However, the success of a mascara largely depends on what you’re starting with lash-wise, and what you expect out of it. It wasn’t successful […]
Black Owned Brands: Hair and Skincare
It has been difficult for me to talk about beauty products right now, with so much ugliness at the forefront. The ugliness of racism, that must be faced and dealt with head-on. Nothing can matter until that happens. I want to share some of the thoughts and feelings I’ve been having over the past month. […]
Current Makeup Artist Kit Faves
Being a makeup artist is one of the biggest and brightest parts of my life. I spend the majority of my time doing makeup not on myself, but others, so I thought I’d start sharing my kit faves, what I’m loving to use on clients. These kit faves posts will include products that are just […]
Glossier Hand Cream Review

Say you have an idea for a serum. You submit your idea and if it’s passes, it’s voted on by a beauty community. If your idea is […]
April Favorites: Pickles and Self Tanner
I mean, you guys, I don’t even know where to begin with this one. To quote my mom, “well, I’ve never!” No seriously. WTF was this last month? I’ve had cries, I’ve had insomnia, I’ve had many moments where I suddenly caught a glimpse of myself from the outside looking in, in pajamas at 2PM, […]
Best Self Tanners
In a college speech class, we were told to give a speech about a topic we “feel passionate about.” My classmates chose topics like global warming and politics. Naturally, I chose self tanners. I made a very detailed Powerpoint, complete with product recommendations of the best self tanners, according to me. Unlike many who loathe […]
