I’m a big fan of shimmer…metallics…shiny. But I have to be really careful along my cheeks because they tend to be more dry. So far I’ve only reviewed Gabriel nail polishes (check out the Gabriel Color BLOCKade Nail Polish Collection Swatches & Review here) so I was really excited to try something more in the makeup realm. I don’t normally do a gold highlight because I’m so fair & I think it can look kind of harsh but this one actually works really well! Keep reading to check it out! [Read more…]
Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer Demo & Review
It seems like every year or so everyone all of a sudden has the same holy grail concealer & I am always on the fence of purchasing. After returning the famous NARS concealer (it was too close to a drugstore option!) last year, I thought it was time to give another high-end concealer a shot. The Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer immediately caught my eye for two reasons- Urban Decay actually makes shades light enough for my skin & I love a full coverage concealer.

The Becca Highlighting Powders in Opal & Rose Gold are Stunning
I refuse to be the only person that doesn’t own one of the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfectors so a few months ago I snapped up two- because I’m an overachieving beauty hoarder. The Becca brand has really made a name for themselves in the highlighting department & I actually own some of the liquid products as well. Because I have & actually love the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector liquids in a few travel sizes & love them I was feeling pretty confident. In the end I picked up the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfectors Pressed in Opal & Rose Gold. Check out my thoughts & what they look like on my skin below! [Read more…]

My Sleek Blush by 3 Palettes with Swatches & Reviews!
This is a post that has been quite anticipated! Sleek came on my radar quite awhile ago- long before their shipping became more affordable & before they jumped on Amazon. While I initially was drawn to the eyeshadow palettes which I’ll be reviewing later on…these blush trios are heavy hitters. You may have caught my review of the Sleek Face Form Countouring Trio then you already know I like the formula of the face products. What you didn’t get to see was how absolutely STUNNING some of my favorite Sleek blush shades are…so I’m thrilled to show them to you today! [Read more…]
NYE Look Using Mirabella Faerie Products! + Collab!
What are you up to this year for New Year’s Eve? Normally we celebrate in a pretty laid back way- but of course I like my makeup to look FIERCE!
When I think of NYE, I always want to bring out my best features. You’re probably thinking, “Stephanie, shouldn’t that be all the time?” & okay you might have a point. What I mean is that NYE tends to be the closest I get to “clubbing” since we’re such lame 20-somethings. I love the lighting & the glitz- much of which tends to reflect highlighter like the best spotlight ever. Using some items from the Mirabella Beauty Faerie Holiday Collection, I’m going to demo how to really get your glow on & especially make blue eyes pop- because that’s what I love to do.
