I am a self-proclaimed mascara addict. Out of any type of beauty product, I gravitate toward mascara the most. I legit have like 30 tubes (most are the travel sized ones at least) open / in rotation right now. It’s…

Liebster Award
If you haven’t heard of the Liebster Award, you’ve probably been living under a rock. Just kidding. However, it’s basically a tag that encourages the blogger community to engage with each other and promote other smaller sized blogs. Shout out…
The Easy Way To Waterproof Canvas Shoes
I found quite possibly the cutest pair of Toms at Nordstrom Rack the other day. Mustache themed ones, on clearance and everything. They couldn’t be more Portland unless they also had birds on them. However, wearing canvas shoes in Portland with…
Charlotte Tilbury Brow Lift
I have two different makeup bags. One at home where everything is centered around. It is less of a bag and more the epicenter of disaster. Where bits and bobs of cosmetics radiate out from the center, strewn about haphazardly – finding…

February Birchbox And Why I Cancelled My Ipsy Bag
Even if you read this blog semi-regularly, you know how much I love beauty boxes. From the arriving in the mail each month, to the deluxe sized minis, and finding out new brands/products that I’d never have heard of otherwise. Ipsy…

One of my favorite “semi-recent” (I mean come on, Brooke Shields has been rocking the look for forever) trends has been a bolder looking brow. While I’m definitely not advocating that you go out and dye your eyebrows dark brown…
My Scheming Snail Essence Hydrating Mask Review
If you follow me on either Instagram or Twitter, you might have seen me freak out when I discovered that my favorite Japanese Market, Uwajimaya, had a beauty section. Prior to that, I never seemed to make it past their…
MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Microfinish Powder Dupe
I can’t remember the last time I actually wore a powder foundation on it’s own. Having dry skin, and often dry dehydrated skin in the winter, it just never seemed to set well on my face despite which product I…
Brand: Makeover Essentials
I got a few kits from Makeover Essentials for Christmas. First impression? I really loved how travel friendly these pallets were. They securely closed, had brushes included, weren’t overly bulky, and the colors were fairly all-purpose. First up, The Kabuki Brush…
Rita Hazan Breaking Brass As A Replacement for Lee Stafford Hot Shots 4 Blondes
Our shower has pretty hard water, combined with blonde hair, means that after a couple of washes my hair becomes pretty brassy. As my hair was getting more and more minerals deposited with each wash, the brassier/more yellow it would…
