Patrick Ta Deep Eyeshadow Palette Tutorial

I picked up the Patrick Ta Major Dimension Essential Artistry Edit Artistry Palette in Deep during the recent Sephora Holiday Savings Event. It's quickly become one of my favorite eyeshadow palettes. This eyeshadow palette has six neutral matte eyeshadow shades that can be easily used to create a variety of makeup looks. I rarely find a palette that I can use almost exclusively to do a full eyeshadow look. For the look in the photo above, I only used shades from this palette (minus my inner corner highlight). Check out my TikTok tutorial below to see how I d[...]

$6 ELF Liquid Glitter Eyeshadow Review

ELF Glitter Liquid Eyeshadow Review Black Woman

I picked up a ELF Liquid Metallic Eyeshadow and Glitter Eyeshadow from Ulta (Retail $6) recently, to try creating quick holiday makeup looks. The Liquid Glitter Eyeshadows come in a bunch of different shades, I picked up a silver color called "Bling Bling." These remind me of the Stila Glitter and Glow Liquid Eyeshadows but for a fraction of the price.

Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Review

Danessa Myricks Blurring Beauty Balm Powder Shade 8.5 Fly Fierce Fab

All the makeup girlies have been talking about the Yummy Skin Blurring Beauty Balm Powder (Retail $36) by Danessa Myricks. I was intrigued but apprehensive because it's a cream product, and those notoriously have not worked well with my oily skin. It's said to have a cream-to-powder finish, but the cream part was what worried me. After watching reviews by some of my fellow oily girls, I decided to try it. Chile, I'm so glad I did. This was my best purchase during the Sephora Holiday Savings Event. It's unlike any cream product I've ever used because it actuall[...]

The Best DIY At Home Lash Extensions Kit

How To Apply KISS Falscara DIY Lash Extensions

My friends at KISS gifted me a bunch of products from their Falscara collection. I was excited, as I've wanted to try lash extensions for a while. However, I wanted something I could do myself at home. I recently tried their extreme drama wisps, along with their bond and seal (to adhere them), and chileeee, I had them on in MINUTES. This was my first time wearing or applying lash extensions, and it was so fast and easy to do.

Dazzle Dry: The Best Long Lasting Non Gel Polish

For the past two years I have been getting Dazzle Dry performance polish pedicures at MiniLuxe. I started getting them because it’s a non-gel polish (the finish looks like gel though) that dries in 5 minutes, and lasts at least a month on my toes. Additionally, pedicures aren’t cheap, so the longevity and quick dry time had me sold. I decided to try one of their mini kits that I purchased on Amazon, also my friends at Dazzle Dry later gifted me some more goodies (which I used in my french pedicure tutorial below). Thanks Dazzle Dry! Dazzle Dry DIY: $38[...]

Kayali Utopia Vanilla Coco Perfume Review

Kayali Uptoia Vanilla Coco Perfume Fly Fierce Fab

The official scent of hot girl summer has arrived: Utopia Vanilla Coco by Kayali (Retail: $100). This new perfume by Kayali is a beautiful, sweet, and luxurious scent for the summertime. It literally smells like a luxurious beach vacation in a bottle. The notes in this fragrance include pear, jasmine, coconut, sandalwood, and vanilla bourbon. For me, the standout notes are the coconut (as it smells very creamy and sumptuous) and the hints of pear and vanilla. Layering Tips Utopia Vanilla Coco is a long-lasting scent, but it's not overwhelming. It also[...]

My Favorite Eyeshadow Brushes

Gold Cut Crease Eyeshadow and Eyeshadow on Black Woman

When I first started learning how to do my makeup, I discovered that using the right brushes makes a world of difference. Good quality eyeshadow brushes don't have to be expensive though, a lot of my favorite brushes are in the $8-$15 range. Is it worth it to splurge on brushes? Yes, because they're your tools to create your flawless beat. However, you do NOT need to spend a ton of money to get good ones. Periodt. I have a solid 6-7 eyeshadow brushes that I use to create all my makeup looks. Every. Single. Look. I do want to point out that it's important to h[...]
