Sephora Sale:
My Recommendations + My Cart
Like clockwork (it seems), here we are at another Sephora Sale. While I know I have lots of Sephora Sale blog posts, I like to update with new recommendations + what's in my own cart. I've been doing lots of skincare shopping more than anything but have purchased a make-up item or two. But when you have to wear a mask, there's only but so much makeup it makes sense to put on. So, my focus has been getting my skin as clear as possible. As most of you know, I deal with …

Get Your Wallets Out
The Sephora Sale is BACK
As I fumbled to share my favorite products on Instagram Stories the other night, I realized that sharing here on my Blog might be a better platform. It would have taken a cute 50 Instagram Story frames (or more) to really share everything. 15 seconds is just not enough, can we get 30 already Instagram?! Or would that be too long?? Nevermind. Anyways, the Sephora Sale is BACK and they're not being stingy with the discount like they have been in previous years (major shade). …

My Sephora VIB Sale Picks:
spring 2017
I can't lie, I've been waiting for this sale to roll around for a while. "When the heck is Sephora having their next VIB Sale already", is what I start asking myself months before information for the Sale is even available. Needless to say, by the time I do start finding information (because I go on a hunt for deets like a woman trying to find out if her man is cheating), my cart is already full of products I really want but can't pull myself to pay that $5-10 …

New in Beauty: Madam CJ Walker Beauty Culture
It's been a minute since an entirely brand new haircare line release was so highly anticipated as the Madam CJ Walker Beauty Culture launching on March 4, 2016. Maybe it's the fact that it's being released in Sephora or that it comes from a brand we all know and love, Sundial Brands. Yes, the same Sundial Brands behind Shea Moisture which is a brand that most of us own at least one product from. Well, hitting the beauty scene this week is their first prestige hair care …

How I Take it Off || Nighttime Skincare
Long story short, I have sensitive, acne prone skin that tends to be super oily. It took me quite some time to figure out what works and what didn't work that I nearly gave up and threw in the towel. Lucky enough for me, there are so many great Blogs out there dedicated to getting your skin snatched. The one thing I can't do is switch up skincare products all willy nilly. Nope, my face won't have it and I will start looking like a 14 year old girl that just hit pubert…

#ManiMonday: Illamasqua Stance
If you caught one of my recent Scopes then you know I am obsessed with Berry lip shades. Well the same actually goes for my nails. I can't tell you how many Berry nail lacquers I have in my stash! They are all pretty much the same shade (slightly different variations), just different brands. LOL Once I find a shade that really works for me or really looks amazing on against my skintone, I usually stick with it. In previous years, that color was Chartreuse and now it's al…

My Top 3 Foundations
When it comes to foundations, I am a huge fan. By huge fan, I mean that I am always looking for the next best thing. I love a great foundation that accentuates my own skin. Not too long ago, I needed foundations that covered my skin completely due to acne and hyperpigmentation but those days are behind me now thankfully. Now, it's all about having that "natural" look even after I apply my foundation.
Lately I have been Insta-Reviewing a few foundations that have cau…

Current Favorite Skincare Products
The area of skincare is a world that I recently started to give all my money to in the last few years. I have always had problematic skin since a teenager but usually attacked it with various over the counter products. According to my teenage self I had severe acne but as I matured I saw what "severe" acne really looked like and realized quickly that I had more mild-moderate acne! In addition to my acne I also have oily and sensitive skin. Yeah, the skin Gods were clearl…
