DID YOU THINK CHARLOTTE TILBURY WAS DONE WHEN IT CAME TO THE PILLOW TALK COLLECTION? Hardly! It all began with a simple lip pencil, which turned into a quick cult classic and now here we are, multiple launches later. There was the lipstick, the quad, the blush… but oh wait, there’s more? I was lucky…
DID YOU KNOW THAT MAC COSMETICS HAS PRO PRODUCTS THAT YOU CAN’T BUY AT JUST ANY LOCATION? It’s kinda like ordering something off a secret menu 😉 If you have a MAC PRO location near you, like the one here in Vancouver, you can buy several more products than the regular catalogue. In the early…
ARE SMALL CURATED EYESHADOW PALETTES THE WAY FORWARD FOR 2020? Fenty Beauty certainly seems to think so, launching 8, six pan eyeshadow palettes last month in curated colour schemes. I love the idea of small, well thought out colour themes after 2019 brought us mega palette after mega palette. The palettes are meant to be…
Truth be told, I’m a total brush snob. I’ve amassed an extensive makeup brush collection over the years, and they’ve been something I’ve collected. Many are very expensive, but I think I’ve jus discovered the best affordable makeup brushes on the market! Like many, my first brushes were MAC, but over the last 20+ years…

I’ve been known to binge read blogs whenever I get a chance, and I’ve got quite the Bloglovin subscription list going. So…
Call me basic, but your girl loves a neutral palette. …And Huda Beauty recently dropped her Nude Obsessions Palettes, much to my delight! These 9 pan palettes aren’t new for the brand (read my review of the Mauve Obsessions Palette), but they did something really smart here: They made light, medium and dark versions. How…
