I have never been shy about my love for Hard Candy products. Though it is becoming more difficult for me to find some of my old favourites…it is still a thrill to put anything from the brand to the test. A little while back, the Face Off Luminous Liquid Blush caught my eye. In fact,…

review: violet voss berry burst fun sized eyeshadow palette
Bigger isn’t always better. When it comes to beauty products, it is nice to have smaller items on hand at times. Not only are pint sized products easier to store but they are also ideal for on-the-go use. The Berry Burst Fun Sized Eyeshadow Palette from Violet Voss is an excellent example. It is compact,…

one/size wicked unlimited eye and face palette (review + looks)
I love Wicked a little too much. Though it isn’t my all time favourite musical, it is certainly in my top three.

From the drugstore to the dollar store to Sephora…it seems I can find fun beauty products just about anywhere. One example? The Beauty Boss Lip Gloss from Stila that is pictured above actually came from a duty free store. Makeup clearly is my weakness, even during times of travel. For a reasonable $10, it was…

review: kylie cosmetics 24k birthday collection eyeshadow palette
Have you ever bought makeup from a vending machine? Oddly enough…I have. When my family was coming home from Walt Disney World last month, we had a lengthy wait at the airport because of a delayed flight. That meant lots of time to wander around the various shops. And lots of time to consider an…

Every now and then, it is nice to put a dollar store beauty item to the test. After all, everyone has a different budget to work with. At some points, trips to Sephora are in order, at other times, the drugstore is most appropriate, and at certain times, it is dollar store all the way.…
