Stila Perfect Me, Perfect Hue Eye & Cheek Palette X2
Stila does not get enough love. Their packaging is always so beautifully luxurious and while their regular prices are mid range, when on sale, can fall directly into drugstore territory. I am neither light/medium nor tan/deep but these colors spoke to me. The base color in the light/medium palette is a perfect match for my … Continue reading Stila Perfect Me, Perfect Hue Eye & Cheek Palette X2
Kiko Milano Design Flower Blush & Highlighting Drops $15 Shipped
I'm very pleased with my first purchase from Kiko Milano. I've been following the brand on Instagram ever since one of their blushes caught my eye. Kiko Milano, price wise, runs about lower mid range with many of their sale items neatly tucked in to what you might consider drugstore prices. The winner for me … Continue reading Kiko Milano Design Flower Blush & Highlighting Drops $15 Shipped
It Cosmetics Travel Sized Brush Kit
If you're as blind as I am without my glasses then you know the struggle. Exactly how close can I get my face to mirror? Well, with travel sized brushes you can get extreeemely close.

The Vamp Stamp?
I am usually not interested in fad type items, no silisponges in my collection! However I took a second and third look at the Vamp Stamp after seeing Stephanie Nicole's review on Youtube. The kitten version was out, a much smaller, beginner type sized wing (compared to their medium and large), part of the proceeds … Continue reading The Vamp Stamp?
Blush Tour 7/24/2017
I have a love/hate relationship with blush. Even back in the 90s I wasn't a fan of the heavy sunburned cheeks look. Slowly I've started experimenting with a bit of it here and there, trying to figure out which colors I like best and working on placement. Favorite: Fiona Stiles Soft Cheek Veil in Sweetwater. … Continue reading Blush Tour 7/24/2017
