Becca Cosmetics The One Perfecting Brush - Review

Today I have a review of the Becca Cosmetics The One Perfecting Brush. I haven't seen anything like this brush, which makes it more interesting and exciting to use. It claims to be cut makeup application in half by replacing 10 other brushes! Now, that seems like a stretch and kind of crazy to think one brush can do what 10 would do. So I tested it on everything it can be used with: creams, liquids, and powders. Find out how it went and more information below!

Sample Saturday - Tarte Cosmetics Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder

November 23, 2013

I was excited to get my hands on a sample of this Tarte finishing powder. I don't use a finishing powder as much as I should. Mostly because when I use certain types of powders, they make my dry skin looks more dry. Since this does have amazonian clay, it's supposed to be more hydrating and suitable for all skin types. Find out below if I would buy the full size!

Wet N Wild In The Spotlight Holiday 2013 Eyeshadow Palettes (2 Palettes) - Swatches and Review

There are three palettes in the collection and I bought the two that I knew I would actually use. See more below!

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Shameless - Photos and Review

November 4, 2013

Today I have photos and a review of one of the newest Revlon lip products to hit the drugstores. I found the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms at a local Rite-Aid and knew I had to try at least one. I don't usually love a matte lip product since my lips seem to not love the dryness that will come with a matte lip color. I figured I wanted to try this one out though and see if it would be any different. Find out how I liked the matte balm below!
