Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation Review

It matches perfectly, it blends flawlessly, and it’s not all too horrible for my super sensitive, acne-prone skin. If that doesn’t convince you, try to get a sample and see for yourself. I’m talking about the Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation. It’s kind of ridiculous how most higher end brands don’t have a matching color for…

Best Natural Oils for Removing Your Eye Make-Up

I am that girl who doesn’t walk out of the house without mascara, for ANY reason, so it is safe to say I wear eye make-up every day. Over the years I have tried many a make-up remover, some much better than others, but usually the better ones ending up costing somewhere in the range…

The American Definition of Beauty and Trophy Wives

Tall, thin, blonde, and beautiful. There’s the standard for all you girls to adhere to in the western world. And if you don’t, well then, you’re not exactly beautiful…at least not in the media-promoted, televised, brainwashed way. And of course there are plenty of brands out there that have put out advertisements supporting all shapes…

How to Host a Barbecue Like a Pro

I always enjoy hosting a small group of friends and/or family for an outdoor activity. Combine that with food and it’s simply programmed into my DNA.

Freeman’s Feeling Beautiful Facial Peel-Off Mask in Cucumber

Ok, so what this is supposed to do is clarify your skin and take out impurities, while smoothing your skin. I have to admit that it took me a couple of tries to actually be able to peel this mask off my face. In order for this work, you really have to apply a thick…

Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment SPF 15

I got a sample size of this lip treatment in my Sephora birthday present package, which was in April. I am a big fan of tinted lip balms, so I was very excited to try this one. It’s very smooth and moisturizing, with a light rose scent. It gives the lips a slight rosy tint,…

Urban Decay by Skindinavia All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray

So I’ve seen a lot of positive feedback about this product on YouTube and decided to try it out for myself. I have oily/combination skin and in the summer my face is a complete oil slick. It’s very difficult for me to find a face product that isn’t too heavy, like foundation, yet covers enough…
