Well, hello again pals! Stephanie from S Green Juice tagged me to do a post on my 2012 makeup highlights, and I couldn't think of a single reason why I shouldn't. So here goes: 1. Which makeup brand stood out to you most in 2012? Drugstore and High end? I'd be lying if I said I'd ever been impressed with natural makeup purchased at a drugstore, so I won't. As far as pricier brands go, has yet to disappoint me in terms of performance. In...

I recently received a Spring Beauty VoxBox that contained several health and beauty products for me to try. Unfortunately, many of the brands, like ChapStick and Aveeno, were those that I have been avoiding for ages. The concealer that I'll be reviewing today was also in the box. While the ingredients could definitely be a whole lot cleaner, my frugality convinced me that I should at least give the $24 product a try. Ingredients (provided on product packaging)- “caprylic/capric triglyceride, octydodecanol, euphorbia cerifera wax, copernicia cerifera wax, jojoba...

Allow me to preface this review with an apology. I had trouble finding a picture of this eyeliner online, so I decided to take my own (and in the process showcase my subpar photography skills as well as the discolored grout in my bathroom). Oops.

When I see a lip gloss that claims to have plumping effects, I'm always reminded of an incident in a Sephora that involved , her swollen/red face, and some questionable cosmetic brand's version of plumping lip gloss. Needless to say, I was a little wary of trying , regardless of how dreamy the ingredients seemed. Fortunately, I didn't have an allergic reaction after I summoned the nerve to use it. What I did have was some seriously...
