Wake Up For Makeup

High End Dupes: LimeLife by Alcone

05/07/2017

If you’re like me, you like to save money and if you can spend less on something and get the same, perhaps better results, you’re way into it. I’ll be honest; my mom has called me a cheapskate and a tightwad on multiple occasions. I don’t mind though! I do spend my money carefully and I...

Glossier Review, Part 2

05/02/2017

Beauty brands come with their own unique vibes. Some evoke luxury while others evoke youth and cheekiness. Brands like Glossier bring all the cool, all the time.

Pixi Beauty Mists

04/17/2017

Outside of this space on the internet, I’m a working makeup artist and since wedding season and prom season have both kicked off, I’m getting busier everyday.
