Review⎪Blendercleanser for Makeup Brushes
For the May 2012 “Gossip Girl” Special Birchbox, I received a blendercleanser deluxe sample in my box. I wasn’t all too pleased with the box, hence I unsubscribed. But for what I paid, I thought I’d give each product a try. I recently tried the blendercleanser makeup brush/sponge cleanser to clean my makeup brushes. I know this product was specially made for their...

Estēe Lauder's Pure Color Five Gelée Powder...
I had been eyeing Estēe Lauder’s Pure Color Five Gelée Powder Eyeshadow in Bronze Sands ($45), ever since it was mentioned by Anna, also known as “Viviandoesmakeup” and Lisa Eldridge on their videos and blogs. It looked like the perfect shades for a bronze summer look. What I also drew me to this “LIMITED EDITION” product was the very fine and deliciously printed...

ByTerry Intense Liquid Eyeliner Precise Tattoo
I have used Bobbi Brown’s Gel Eyeliner for quite some time and although I love everything about it, there is just one con. It is simply that you must apply it with a brush. Sometimes, when you’re out and about, it’s tiring to carry a brush for just an eyeliner. So, I’ve been wanting to try a liquid eyeliner. It’s compact, efficient, and travel-friendly! The ByTerry...

NUXE Rève de Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm
Oh my gosh. I am obsessed. The hype around NUXE Rève de Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm was no lie! It is seriously the most hydrating, soothing, and nourishing lip balm… ever. About a month before I began to see the hype around this product in the beauty blog community, I had walked into a really nice pharmacy store somewhere in the Upper East. I still can’t remember exactly where nor...

Face Setting Sprays
It’s impossible for my makeup to last all day. The last time I remember my makeup lasting all day in perfect condition was when I used to take Accutane. I remember I would sleep in my makeup and wake up with zero oil and perfectly maintained makeup! What a dream… Anyway, now that I’ve woken up from the dream it was time I found a way to maintain my makeup. Fortunately, I...

My Skincare Products!
One of my first posts on this blog was the Skincare Routine post. Much hasn’t changed since then, but I thought I would expand upon it and introduce to you not only the basic routine, but most of the skin products I use on a daily basis! Like most people, my skincare routine differs from day to night. At night, I focus a lot on the cleansing step making sure my makeup is fully removed and...

Giorgio Armani
Absolute quality brand! (Mostly about just the blush though!) Sheer Blush ($44) Eyes to Kill Mascara Smooth Silk Eye Pencil I have the Giorgio Armani Sheer Blush in the color “Beige Rose” (No. 3) and I thought it would be rather pale/light on me, but it has the perfect tint on my skin. Actually, I’ve seen it on several skin tones so I believe it’d be quite nice for...

Benefit Blushes
To me, Benefit Cosmetics are fun and playful. In someway they seem like instant food as well because they give the quickest and easiest satisfaction. I have used their products here and there and for all of the ones I have used, I don’t necessarily feel like I’m treating my skin well, but I do see instant effectiveness of their products. Their concealers literally conceal...

L'Occitane Hand Purifying Gel
This has been featured in my last and first video, “What’s in my (Mulberry Alexa) Bag?” and it’s the L’Occitane Hand Purifying Gel ($7). As I have said this before, I’m not a huge fan of hand sanitizers because still in my head, it just “feels” cleaner to go wash my hands in running water than to put some slobbery gel on my hands and believe my...
