The Boston Travel Diaries: Get Ready With Me

Day Two of working in the MA office, and I couldn’t get this idea out of my head. So, we’re doing a get ready with me. I’m not a morning person (like at all), so I make sure my makeup routine when I have to get up and go places is real quick. If I can put it off until I’m more awake, I will and then I take more time with it. But there’s none of that on office days.…
View PostCruelty Free Highlighter That I Basically Live In

Regardless if I'm having a full makeup day with foundation or a half-makeup day with concealer and a few other products, if I'm wearing makeup that day I'm wearing a highlighter of some type. As I mentioned in my Fenty Beauty First Impressions, I prefer two different types of highlights depending on their placement. A subtle highlight that gives a glow from within on my forehead, cupid's bow and chin. And a blinding highlight on the top of my cheeks and down the bridge of my nose. Though days where I'm only wearing concealer, I only highlight the tops of my cheeks as otherwise it will generally vanish too quickly as there's nothing underneath to hold it in place. So I have more blinding highlighters in this list then subtle ones.…
View PostCruelty Free Contours and Bronzers That I Basically Live In

I don't have a lot of contours I reach for, as I tend to use bronzers sometimes as contours. Which is why I'm combining the two products together. Granted one is generally a matte powder or cream, while the other is a shimmer. But depending on my mood, I just go back and forth with that. So what contours/bronzers do I live in?…
View PostFirst Impressions on Fenty Beauty by Rihanna

When I was offline, Rihanna released her new brand called Fenty Beauty with Kendo (the cruelty-free branch of beauty at LVMH/Sephora). I managed to get my hands on most of the products that they first launched with and it appears there is more on the way. And I can't wait to try that out as well, but I probably won't get all of it all at once. Mainly for the sake of my bank account. And they're launching more products this month, I'm probably only going to get the eyeshadow palette as gloss is not my thing even though I know it's super trendy at the moment. I just don't like the feel of it. So I'm going to pass on that when it comes out. But as for the base stuff, I'm in love so let's jump into my first impressions on the base collection of Fenty Beauty by Rihanna.…
