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 Oily Skin Care Routine

One of the biggest things I've learned while creating my oily skin care routine is that the focus should not be on using products to try and "dry it out." There was a time where I'd go into the store and hunt for whatever promised to keep my oils under control. This only lead to my skin feeling dried out and then getting super oily later on.

When my skin is properly hydrat[...]

Sweet Perfumes for Valentines Day

With Valentine's Day around the corner, love is most certainly in the air. So is my signature scent (Musk by Kayali, IYKYK). I love gourmand perfumes (scents that smell edible), and over the past year I discovered some that smell bomb. Previously, I shared a few of my favorites and I've added a couple more to my collection since then. I figured I'd spill the tea in a YouTube video so that I could talk more about each fragrance. Did I mention that I tried a dupe for Baccarat Rouge 540? Thank's Ari! Also, if you're looking for some Valentine's Day gift id[...]

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[...]
