I’ve had a love affair with liquid liner since I was in college. I always used a gel pencil on the bottom, and liquid on top. However, I hadn’t ever really come across an AMAZING liquid liner before. After I finished my last liquid liner, I decided to try a new brand. I want the…

Review – Witch Hazel
For the past couple of months, I’ve dealt with itching, acne, and an overall unpleasant texture on my face. I suspect this is due to a combination of my rather unhealthy skin care routine as of late (meaning I have no routine) and stress/anxiety. I’ve decided to totally revamp my skin care routine. I’ll buy…
Bullying, Free Speech, & the Internet
Recently I’ve been toying with the idea of posting more opinion based pieces on my blog. This blog is mainly intended to be a place for me to muse about daily life, past relationships, and beauty buys. However, I feel like I would be doing myself (and the public) a disservice by not discussing current…
Review – Wet n Wild Flat Top Brush
I wasn’t planning on making a review about this, but this product is so amazing that I had to! I bought this brush because my ELF stippling brush was super old and I needed a new one. I had seen pictures of the Wet N Wild brushes online and decided to try out the Flat…
Soul Ties – Fact or Fiction?
I’ve always been very liberal when it comes social issues, and that extends to sex and sexuality. I don’t think premarital sex is wrong, and I respect people who choose to have “casual sex” (I hate that phrase), as long as they’re being careful and using protection. I acknowledge that there are people out…
It’ll Be Ok & Other Lessons Millennials Should Know
Normally, I hate these kinds of posts about “THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW RIGHT NOW 1!1!”.They’re usually filled with pseudo-advice, with adages like “love yourself” and “take risks”. Those are things that people should do, yes, but I often finish reading these kinds of lists wanting more. The shift from college years to post-grad life…
It’s Just A Hairstyle
There’s been a lot of talk about cultural appropriation lately, and I’ve mostly kept out of the fray because 1. I’ve made a resolution not to fight with strangers on the internet anymore, and 2. The cultural appropriation conversation is way more context than people realize. I’ve been blessed (or cursed?) with the ability to…
Review – Murray’s Edge Wax Extreme Hold
I’ve long been on a search for the perfect edge control. I first tried with Dr. Miracle’s Style Edge Holding Gel, but soon stopped using it after realizing that it only held my edges down for about 10 minutes. I didn’t try any other edge controls because I was sure that nothing would be strong…
Demand More
When I was in high school, Gossip Girl was the show every girl in my grade was watching. My friend Julie and I would discuss every headband worn, every party attended, and every scheme gone wrong the day after the episode aired. It was our drug. And of course, there was no greater topic to…
Battle of the Primers
Primers are everything. They’re the foundation for your foundation and one of the first steps in creating a flawless face. I’ve been using the ELF primer since last year, and when it ran out I decided to switch to the NYX primer. Recently, I got some samples of 2 other popular primers and decided to test…
