Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Cover Girl mascaras are impressive. I’ve tried a handful from the brand that have wowed, including my all-time favourite, The Super Sizer. Most recently, I gave the Lash Blast Cleantopia Mascara in Ultramarine Black a try. It is described as “an intense black mascara shade with a hint of blue for brighter, wide-awake eyes.” Talk about…

I’ve tried a handful of Quo Beauty products over the years. Standouts include their makeup brushes and some of the Pride Collection items. Despite testing out a few items from Quo Beauty in the past, I am not overly familiar with the brand offerings, since items are tried on a rather sporadic basis. However, every now…

So far, the spring season has been sporadic at best. Some days, there is snow, other days, rain, and then occasionally, there is sunshine scattered throughout the day.

A little while back, I came across…

Finding a good concealer is difficult. Finding a good concealer to replace an old favourite? Even more difficult. I absolutely adore the Hard Candy Glamoflauge Full Coverage Concealer, but it is becoming harder and harder for me to find. At the stores around me, the Hard Candy displays have either been removed or reduced, and there…

The latest theme week here on the creation of beauty is art. is coming to a close. That’s right…this is the last post for r.e.m. beauty week. It is all about the Naughty and Iced Cheek and Lip Set. I love that this set from the brand includes one warm toned product and one cool toned product. There…

r.e.m. beauty theme week continues here on the creation of beauty is art. The last post was all about the Midnight Shadows Eyeshadow Palette in Smitten Kitten. Today? The focus is on the Limited Edition Galactic Frost Metallic Eye Set. This particular set stood out to me, because it contains three different products. It seemed like an excellent way…
