I didn't realize so many people had issues with concealer until today. I think a large part this stems from the fact that people aren't told there are many kinds of concealers and how you use them depends on what type it is. So here to clarify some issues you may be experiencing, I'm going to explain the types of concealers, what they're best used for, and proper application techniques. Two

Oh boy, the naked craze begins again with Urban Decay's launch of the Naked 2 palette. I've seen a million reviews and I'm sorry to say that I just don't feel the same as other reviewers. When I ordered the palette, I was beyond excited as I do not own the first so naked 2 would have been my first, coveted  Urban Decay palette. Besides, every beauty blogger was raving over the palette, how could

For as long as I can remember, I've loved MAC's Powerpoint Liners. In fact, I have the liner in three different colors (duck, engraved, and industry), but with the holiday season coming up, not to mention MAC's steep prices, I decided to check out a drugstore alternative. I've read numerous reviews and looked at many swatches of Milani's Liquif'eye liners and decided to finally give it a go and.

These past few years, I've seen my skin go from super clear to filled with rosacea-induced acne and everywhere in between. To combat all the issues I've had, I've literally tried the whole skin-care section at stores like Sephora and the like. But recently, I've reevaluated my skin care habits and found out that my simple routine seems to be the most effective (so far). What are basics you ask?

A compilation of things I've picked up over the years, beauty wise (in no particular order): 1. Less is truly more. This doesn't mean you have to stick to neutrals... it simply means don't do overkill. For example, colorful eyes and a bright lip with a lot of blush isn't flattering on everyone... In fact, it usually only works for music videos or magazine shoots. So if you love colors, that's

Fall is a good time to start investing in more winter-friendly skin care products. Many people don't understand that as weather changes, the skin is affected. That's why I've compiled a few tips for changing up your fall products: 1. Invest in a more heavy duty moisturizer. It doesn't matter if your skin is normal (combination), oily, or dry. Winter weather is harsher no matter where you go and

Have you been in the market for a drugstore tinted moisturizer? A few weeks ago, I found myself at a local drugstore face to face with an intriguing product: Olay Definity Color Recapture. I remembered a friend of mine told me she uses this and trust me, that girl's skin looked like it was airbrushed. So, hoping to create a flawless base, I bought the product. Was it a total fail or did it win

Does the sound of an OIL-anything scare you oily beauties? It certainly scares me! I don't exactly try to avoid products that contain oil, but I definitely don't jump for joy when I hear the word oil in skincare/makeup items. But Josie Maran's Argan Cleansing Oil is different. Argan oil has been pretty popular lately. It's touted as an oil that can be used for both your face and hair.

As someone who suffers from rosacea, I am very careful with what I use on my face. I can go from clear skin to inflamed skin within a matter of weeks. So even though I still experiment with different products, I try to find those that are gentle but effective. I've been using a few new products to wash my face and I really like the combination. Here's a description of what I use and when I use it

So after only a few weeks after the Royal Wedding, it seems as if Kate Middleton news has died down significantly. Rightly so, in my opinion, after all the Duchess needs her privacy. But I still can't get over her bridal makeup. In fact, I think she does such a great job on natural makeup that even her daily makeup should be praised. So here are a few inspiration pictures I've gathered from the

Struggling with acne bumps, scars, and uneven skin from time to time myself, I have always found cream blushes incompatible with my skin. As soon as I apply it, no matter what method, my concealer or foundation comes off and I'm staring at my acne scars again. In the very few times in my life that I have no acne scars, I still can't seem to use cream blushes because they highlight my pores and

Hello all, Sorry I've been gone so long! School has started back up so I've been quite busy. On top of that, I have lost my camera charger and therefore have a non-working camera. Thus, the combination of the two factors has led to the lack of posts. Please forgive me as I'm back today with a more-than-awesome tutorial for you. As you all know, I love Kristen Stewart and in almost every picture

I don't know if you all have noticed the recent hair trend of mermaid-ish, wavy hair. Well, that style is created with what's referred to as a conical or clampless hair iron. They're basically your average hair curler, minus the clamp. Many say this the new, clampless iron is better because it doesn't cause ridges from the clamp, nor does it make your hair look crunchy. I've seen countless

Ampli-what? Fusion Beauty's latest release of beauty products includes a line of cream blushes toted as having amplifat. What's amplifat? I have no idea but because the word has "fat" in it, I'm guessing it's something like a lip plumper except for the cheeks. And indeed, that's what Sephora says amplifat is, "plumps the skin for visibly firmer, more supple looking cheeks." I don't know if this

I've always loved MAC's makeup remover wipes because they just work so darn well! It is like no matter how many eyeshadows or liners I swatch on my hand in the store, as soon as I pick up a wipe it is like magic! All that makeup is gone in just a few seconds. Considering the amount of makeup the wipe removes, I consider it a beauty-must but surely for $18.00 it is a bit much for the average

While strolling around the supermarket recently, I found two great beauty finds! Usually, I don't buy drugstore or supermarket makeup, unless particular items or products are recommended in magazines I read. Not that I don't love drugstore products, it's just hard to buy because you typically can't return or exchange with ease. Also, there are no testers so you don't really know if the color

We've all heard that MAC cosmetic is one of the best brands in the beauty industry, but more often than not the brand's eyeshadows overshadow any other MAC product. I do love MAC eyeshadows, but I've got to say that the company has a lot of products that should be given more attention that they currently receive. One of the products being today's featured review: MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil. To

I usually don't like to post these kinds of entries, but I've got to say that I was so blown away by the awful makeup job of one of my fellow classmates that I just HAD to tell you all about it. Okay, so I get that blemishes and bumps are no fun...so that's why most of us with skin issues use concealer or foundation to "fix" our issues. I mean who wouldn't want to look flawless?

As I have stressed many times on this blog, sunscreen is so important! I use sunscreen everyday, right after my moisturizer. Many people don't use sunscreen for a variety of reasons (none of which is a good excuse!!), but price should definitely not be one of those excuses. You really don't need to purchase super expensive sunscreen! Some sunscreens at drugstores, Walmart, etc. are perfectly

For spring and summer, lipstick isn't always the best option. It can be too heavy or pigmented and thus have more of a fall/winter feel. This is where Bobbi Brown's Treatment Lip Shine comes in. It has got SPF 15 to protect your lips from the harmful sun rays, it has a great shiny look, it moisturizes your lips, and it has a sheer tint to make your lips kissable! According to the ad, Bobbi

Okay, so I finally caved and bought Nars's Orgasm blush. Let me just say when I put it on I was shocked! I love it so much! It truly is one of those very flattering blushes. I will try to take pictures and post them but really, if you invest your money in a blush soon...may I suggest this one?! I don't think you'll regret it!

I went to Sephora today with one of my best buddies and well...I think I'm in love! NARS has always been known for their blushes and after swatching them today, I really can't seem to resist them! Luckily, I still had the sanity to walk away before I could purchase the blushes, infamously called "orgasm" and "deep throat". So I guess, needless to say, those two blushes are at the top of my

There are things we all do each and every day to make ourselves look or feel better, and most of the time these actions benefit us in some way or another. Moisturizing the skin before applying makeup is a good example. Then there are the habits that aren't so beneficial... Come on, I know you all do something once in awhile that is a complete no-no!

Today I went to the dermatologist to get rid of my acne once and for all, or at least I thought. So I went in thinking I had adult acne and found out that was only half of my problem. The other half was due to rosacea. Finding out that I didn't have just acne was a little surprising because I just assumed my little white bumps were acne. What else could they be, right? Well, unfortunately, the

I seem to always have issues with my lipsticks because I'll find myself in a rush trying to find that ONE color but can't because I have 5 others in the exact same packaging and from the same brand. This means I waste time opening and closing the lipsticks (carefully though!) or looking at the bottom of the tubes to find the lipstick I need. If all lipstick were made in clear tubes, this problem

Looking for a cheap but GREAT beauty find? Try Queen Helene's Mint Julep Masque! This mask is great for people with blemish-prone skin. It feels wonderful on the skin when you first apply it because it has a cooling effect, and therefore relieves that uncomfortable feeling that often accompanies big pimples. Then, when it starts to dry it sucks the dirt out of your pores and makes your face

I always see this question on makeup blogs and websites so I wanted to answer this question once and for all: What makeup item can't you live without? So, if I were ever stranded on an island, I think I'd have to pick concealer as my makeup item I couldn't live without.

Preparing for 2010 is exciting, but make sure to keep the following cosmetic/hair items OUT of your upcoming year! 1. Sally Hansen's No Heat Gel Hair Remover: Bottom line? They don't work; they don't even remove one strand of hair! They just make your face red. 2. Clarisonic MIA or Regular: Sounds like a great idea. I bought it...then returned it. The brush construction needs to be reworked

I don't usually post my skin care routine because I honestly believe that everyone's skin is different, however if any of you are interested here it is. The reason why I use so many products, as you'll see below, is because I'm still trying to find the best combination of products for my skin. If my skin were perfect I wouldn't worry so much about products or my skin care routine in general,

Sephora is currently holding a sale on CARGO's Mediterranean Nights Palette shown above. It usually retails for $35 but you can now get it for $29. I actually bought this palette before it went on sale and LOVE it! The four eyeshadows have a wonderful satin finish and a bunch of fine glitter in them. The colors are also very unique, as the name of the palette suggests. With an eyeshadow primer,

According to recent rules set by the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) all products that are sent to beauty bloggers for review must be stated as such. In other words, if I receive something free by a company and choose to review it or recommend it, I have to tell my readers that I didn't buy it and received it free. So incase you're concerned, I will include a note at the bottom of a product review

I love, LOVE, skin care products that work. For example, I tend to overdose on acne-fighting skin creams, toners, etc that I feel make my skin look better. In other words, I tend to put on 3 layers of whatever product(s). But recently I've been breaking out big time and I have been searching for the answer to this problem. During the summer, my skin was practically blemish free and now I'm seeing
