As nuts as it drives Chrissy, I cannot stop buying red-toned lipsticks. The moment I get to any makeup counter my hands are instantly swatching all the potential nudes and reds available. It’s an addiction, and I cannot stop. As such, I’ve naturally become inclined to a select few that never do me wrong. NARS’ […]

Of course my first post back after my month long hiatus would be a nail one! A few weeks ago, during The Makeup Show LA’s 2013 Blogger Preview, I was introduced to a new nail polish line — Cult Nails. They came highly recommended by everyone at the show and the talent backing these lacquers […]

I've been feeling pretty inspired lately, it seems! Anisha's usually the one to do colorful and eccentric looks, but I've been playing around with my Buxom Stay-There and Sugarpill eyeshadows, which is always fun.

I meant to post this earlier in the day, but it’s been a little hectic over here. This year, sadly, I didn’t have a date for Valentine’s Day – unless you count my sister and nephew. But, that didn’t stop me from creating this Vday FOTD! I mostly used my new L’Oreal Infallible Eyeshadows, which […]

Happy Lunar New Year, everyone! I finally replaced my lost memory card for my camera, so I’m able to do FOTD’s again! I thought it would be appropriate to do an Emerald FOTD since it’s the Pantone color of the year. Beauty in The Breakdown Eyes Buxom Stay There Eyeshadow – Saint Bernard (as a […]

No matter how many new eyeshadows I get, I still find myself gravitating towards my myface blingtones. So easily blendable, so perfectly sparkly. I'm definitely going to get more shades. I was somewhat inspired by Anisha's latest FOTD: Kiss Don't Tell, so I kind of wanted to do a smokey look too.

This look was inspired by MAC’s Guilty Passions Cremesheen lip glass, Kiss Don’t Tell. Chrissy was nice enough to pass it on to me when she was here visiting and it resulted in love upon first swatch. If ever there were a perfect nude lip gloss for WOC, this is it. It’s amazingly pigmented and […]

So, for my 26th birthday, I treated myself with a trip to Vegas, but at the last second I decided to extend my vacation and fly to San Francisco from Vegas to visit Anisha! I was so sick with a cold once I got there, but thankfully she keeps a small pharmacy in her apartment. Once I was feeling better I met up with Anisha at work and we went makeup shopping! I knew I definitely wanted to make a trip to INGLOT because I've never seen them outside of trade-shows like IMATS. The only place I know they have a counter is in the Macy's in San Francisco. I was able to purchase a five piece freedom system eyeshadow palette and a small angled brush for just $56! When we got back from the city, we started playing with our makeup. Anisha tried to film a tutorial for you all, but sadly her camera ran out of memory right in the middle of filming. Tragic! She ended up turning it into an FOTD which I hope she'll share with us sometime next week. I chose to create an FOTD with all the Inglot eyeshadows I bought.

With Christmas around the corner, I wanted to do a quick trial run of my Christmas dinner makeup. I knew I wanted something wearable and festive with a pop of red. I ended up keeping the eyes pretty subtle favoring shimmery, neutral shades and went all out on the lips. I ditched the traditional lip […]
