A Beauty Review: Benefit’s The POREfessional
Still on my “flawless face” kick, I’m in the process of testing out different products and techniques to help me get just that – a flawless face. From skincare to concealer, I’ll stop at nothing to figure out what works best for me. Next on my list? Benefit’s The POREfessional, which aims to reduce the […]
Manicure Monday: Galaxy Nails
Galaxy nails aren’t just for astronomy majors. I’ve tried to recreate the look a few times and never been too happy with the result. They look absolutely beautiful, but look pretty complicated. Every time I’ve tried in the past, they just look sort of … sloppy. After many attempts and several different methods, I finally […]
A Beauty Review: Benefit’s Fake Up
Lately, I’ve been on a bit of a “flawless face” kick. I’ve realized that it doesn’t matter how great you are with a smoky eye if you’ve got dark under eye circles, huge pores, or blemishes. Beautiful skin is the best tool in your beauty arsenal. If you, like me, weren’t blessed with perfect skin, […]
Manicure Monday: You’re Such a BudaPest
I’ve recently fallen in love with OPI’s Euro Centrale collection. From Polka.com, a fun blue and violet glitter, to My Vampire is Buff, a creamy nude, the colors are so perfect for Spring. One of my favorites from the collection is You’re Such a BudaPest, a lovely shade of what OPI calls “periwinkle-purple.” I even […]
A Beauty Review: Neutrogena® Cosmetics
As a BzzAgent, I get to try new products in exchange for my reviews and opinions! For this BzzCampaign, I’ve been tasked with testing out Neutrogena® Cosmetics. Their new cosmetics line includes MoistureSmooth Color Sticks, Healthy Lengths Mascara, and Crease Proof Eye Shadows. Neutrogena® Cosmetics dub themselves “beautiful, wearable color that’s good for your skin.” We’ve reviewed Neutrogena® Cosmetics before […]
Manicure Monday: Neutral Daisies
Black and white is a huge trend for spring. Adding in bright colors might look a bit tacky, but adding in a pop of nude can brighten the look without being overpowering. After all, the black and white is the point of the trend! Pair these colors with some flowers and you’ve got a perfect […]
Manicure Monday: Matte Jelly Glitter
I absolutely love the new Liquid Sand trend in nail polish, but since I don’t own those polishes and don’t want to spend the money, I’ve been searching for a way to achieve the matte, textured look with the polishes I already own. I may or may not have missed the mark exactly on a […]
Manicure Monday: Valentine’s Day Heart
When I sat down to do my Valentine’s Day-themed Manicure Monday, I had big ideas to do a different pattern on every nail. Glitter, hearts, polka dots, flowers, matte polish, everything. I started to do the manicure, and I realized that my nails started to look like a tacky Valentine’s Day card. Obviously that’s not […]
Manicure Monday: Matte & Glossy Polka Dots
I’m a big fan of matte nail polish. I was never really sure where to go with it. Do you buy a matte color? Do you just get a matte top coat? Do matte top coats work on every polish? Can you apply a top coat over your matte polish? I had so many questions […]
Manicure Monday: Gone Gingham
Today’s Manicure Monday is a gorgeous tone-on-tone gingham print. Bright, bold colors definitely stand out, but it’s the intricacy of the pattern that makes this look shine. I actually aimed for a much different look – ultra skinny diagonal lines – but after trying to create it, my ultra skinny lines came out pretty … […]
