While, I can’t say that every Glossier product is amazing, I’m a huge fan of many of them. I love how easy Glossier products are to use, making them approachable and non-initimdating. If you’ve never tried Glossier, or you’d like to try a bit more, here are my tried-and-true products. By using my links here, […]
Current Beauty Deals
I’m writing this post for 2 important reasons. These beauty deals are too good to pass up and I love seeing anyone save money. I’m really stressing about COVID-19, as my main source of income comes from being a freelance makeup artist. Nearly every job for the next 3 weeks is cancelled, so I’m honestly […]
The Ordinary Skincare Review
If you’re into skincare, and you haven’t tried The Ordinary, you’ve no doubt heard of it. As their tagline says, the products are clinical formulations with integrity. I’d describe the line as no-frills actives that everyone can afford. The packaging looks clinical, there are no pretty scents, it doesn’t feel luxurious and once you see […]
February Favorites: BHA + Binging on Chickpeas
These favorites posts are as close to a diary as it gets for me. Looking back at my calendar, in the month of February, I did makeup for the ill-fated Iowa Caucus, my husband turned 37, I worked on several commercial projects, filmed a video in TJMaxx on my IGTV and I tried a bunch […]

I used to only double cleanse my face if I had done a Halloween makeup look or something really heavy. But now? Now, I’m 36, […]
Black Owned Makeup Brands
February is Black History Month and I didn’t want to let it pass without acknowledging how you can support women of color via beauty purchases. While I do typically use affiliate links, this post will not contain any. Instead, I will link directly to the brand, and should you choose to purchase from any of […]
January Favorites: Caucus + Lashes
Welcome to the first favorites of 2020! I sure hope this post finds you well. I just survived over 26 hours doing makeup during the Iowa Caucus, shuffling between 2 media outlets, in the middle of the night and wee morning hours. Don’t worry; I’m only talking politics as it pertains to my job. It […]
