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[...]

The Best Sweet Perfumes For Women

I've been working on building my perfume collection this year and finding sweet perfumes that I like. I've discovered that vanilla is a common note in sweet perfumes that I'm attracted to. Some of them smell like candy, and some are more floral with a hint of sweetness. In no particular order, here are some of my favorite sweet perfumes (also, these make great gifts if you're still doing your holiday shopping!): Sweet Like candy 1) Love Don't Be Shy by Killian I finally got my hands on the travel size version of Love Don't Be Shy ($48 at Sephora, an[...]

Nars Soft Matte Complete Foundation Review

I recently picked up the new NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation from Sephora (Retail, $40). I've always heard great things about NARS foundations, but before this new foundation, all the others by NARS weren't geared for oily skin. So when I tried them in the past, I wound up looking super greasy and oily about an hour after application. No bueno. When I heard that they were dropping a matte foundation, I celebrated the win for us oily girls and decided to check it out. Since you still can't touch testers in-store at Sephora, I used the shade match tool on Se[...]

Sephora Sale Picks

Sephora's Welcome Back Sale kicked off last week and continues until August 23rd online and in stores. All Beauty Insider Members (which is free to join!) will receive $15 off a $75 or more purchase, or $20 off $100 or more when they use the code WELCOMEBACK. I also want to remind you guys that Sephora has been offering 10% off of all purchases for healthcare workers, but I'm not sure if this is combinable with the welcome back sale or how long that will continue. I love a good Sephora sale, and it's a great time to re-stock your staple products or even try so[...]

My Top 3 Grown & Sexy Perfumes

When it comes to perfume, I'm pretty picky. It's rare that I'm in the beauty section of a store, and smell a perfume that screams my name. I like sweet scents, along with warm florals, and sometimes slightly masculine scents. Over the past year, I built up my perfume collection a little bit, as I was on a quest to find myself a grown and sexy signature scent. I've come a long way from Love Spell and Britney Spears Fantasy back in the day. Here are 3 of my top Grown & Sexy perfumes: 1) Tom Ford Velvet Orchid !function(w,i,d,g,e,t){d.getElementById(i)[...]
