$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.

Trying Jodie Woods MAC Lip Combo

Jodie Woods X MAC Lip Combo with Chestnut Lip Liner

One thing about Jodie Woods makeup, chile it's gonna be BEAT. She recently dropped a lip kit collab with MAC Cosmetics, featuring the products she uses to create one of her fave everyday lip combos. The kit retails for $42 and features: cork lipliner, clear lipglass, and please me lipglass. While that is a great deal for all the products (when you consider their individual prices, buying the kit save you a little over $20), I'm more of a Chestnut lipliner girlie than a Cork girlie so I knew I would need to adjust it for my skintone.

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[...]

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[...]

Snatchural | I tried Scott Barnes x Tati’s Tutorial (and a whole lot of new products!)

Fly Fierce Fab Snatchural Makeup Tutorial for Black Women Scott Barnes Tati

Last month over on Tati's channel (GlamLifeGuru), she dropped a video with celebrity makeup artist Scott Barnes called "JLo's Makeup Artist Does My Makeup". I watched it immediately, as I'm a huge fan of Scott's makeup style, and have been for quite a long time. If you're not familiar with him, you've definitely seen his work. He's the artist behind the signature J.Lo glow, and has worked with countless celebrities. He also did the makeup for J Lo's recent tour. I've been a fan of Scott's since he released his first book, called *About Face. In this book, he[...]

P. Louise Rumour Base Review: New Shade (#5)

A few months ago, P. Louise Makeup Academy launched their base called "Rumour" which at the time only came in one shade (Retail: 10.00 British Pounds = $13.25 USD. Also note that worldwide shipping was an additional 9.99 GBP, so it total I paid close to $30 USD). Rumour is marketed as a thick, creamy, full coverage base to be used under eyeshadows to make them POP. Last month the makeup academy released additional shades of the base for pre-order (so there are now 7 shades of the base currently available), and I purchased it in shade #5 which is currently[...]
