Is The MAC Powder Kiss Liquid Lipcolor Make It Fashun Pefect for Valentine’s?

February 14, 2022

I wore only neutrals and nude lipsticks for as long as I can remember. These days I am embracing bolder colors. I searched my stash for all the bright colors I have and came up with a few options. Somehow I gravitated towards the MAC Powder Kiss Liquid Lipcolor in the shade Make It Fashun. Also I think Make It Fashun is perfect for Valentine's or any other day.

Valentine’s Look With Some Fun Pink Makeup

February 11, 2022

Pink and red are colors associated with Valentine's Day. This year I decided to do my Valentine's look with some fun pink makeup. Pink eyeshadow is out of my comfort zone. Pink lipsticks I adore. So I decided to go out of my comfort zone with my eye makeup, but still use some other lip and cheek products that I am comfortable using. Best of both worlds.

I recently purchase the Natasha Denona Mini Crush Palette. And it is PINK!. It is perfect for Valentine's Day. I was initially scared to use these bold …

This product really hooked me, fast. In fact, I did not know much about it before buying it. Now that I have purchased it twice, because it works for me I found out more about it.

February 1, 2022

I was happy to see that Ulta carrying Chanel makeup. Up until a few months back Ulta carried Chanel fragrances but not makeup. I went and ordered the new Chanel No 1 De Chanel Red Camellia Revitalizing Lip And Cheek Balm from the Ulta.com.

January 25, 2022

Who doesn't like tiny makeup? Well let me tell you, I like tiny makeup very much. The E.L.F. Bite Size Eyeshadow palettes did so well, that E.L.F. cosmetics decided to give us the E.L.F.

Magnificent Must Haves – Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Medium Lipstick

January 21, 2022

I was super thrilled when Charlotte Tilbury added Pillow Talk Medium to their cult classic Pillow Talk line. The original Pillow Talk is a nude lipstick for lighter skin tones. It made perfect sense for the brand to add deeper shades for us medium/deep skin toned beauties.

So what is Magnificent Must Haves you ask? Products under this tag include my tried and tested favorite products.

According to the Sephora website “The lipstick features 3D glow pigments that help lips appear wider and fuller. The unique, square-angled tip mimics the shape of a lip brush for a precise application.”

January 18, 2022

The entire Chanel Spring-Summer 2022 Makeup Collection is stunning. I purchased The Mediterraneen Les 4 Ombres Eyeshadow Palette and one beautiful blush from the collection.

Last year I picked up many eyeshadow palettes. I tried new brands, new color stories. And I thought to myself, no more eyeshadow palettes. But then I saw the Chanel Spring-Summer 2022 Makeup Collection. So I went right ahead and got the Mediterraneen Les 4 Ombres Eyeshadow Palette from Nordstrom.
