Hello! I am so excited to bring you my first post on this blog. I created this blog to be the counterweight to the endless blogs, Instagram accounts, and YouTube channels raving about the same products, telling you that you HAVE to buy a product because it’s AMAZING, or worse, because the packaging is so … Continue reading Blog Kickoff: Everyday Staples →

Summer looks made easy with @pytbeauty palette @ritueldefille delirium @bareminerals joy highlighter @fleshbeauty chew lipstick @surratt au naturals lipgloss . What are your easy summer go to products?

#textuesday post! This @lilahbeauty post is long overdue. I resisted trying them for awhile, just out of sheer willpower to resist the hype, and because they are quite pricey. Finally, they had a 40% off sale back in April and I decided to take the jump and try them for myself. I bought the eye quad in b. alluring, lip and cheek in b. daring, and the bronzer duo. . After trying the products for a couple months, I am finally writing my initial impressions - although I do want to try more of the brand to get up a full review on my blog (eventually). . My most used product is the bronzed beauty duo ($42), which is a duo-tone bronzer with very light and mostly undetectable shimmer. I use these shades mixed together and it creates a really natural toned bronze on my skin. It’s not as dark as many of my bronzers so I may soon be too tan for it but it’s a beautiful natural bronzer. I wish they would have more shades of this to appeal to more skintones. . The next product, and probably my favorite, is the lip and cheek duo in b. Daring ($46). I really love the drier more hardpacked cream formula. It works great on my oily skin and it is super pigmented, but blendable. In comparison to my HG @kjaerweis cream blushes, these are much drier but stay on my skin even better because of it. But also because of the drier texture, I don’t use these as much on my lips. Sometimes I’ll tap it very lightly just to give a slight blotted look. . The last product I tried is their eye palette in b. alluring ($58). Eyeshadows are usually my favorite so I was excited to try this, but it fell a little short of my expectations, especially for the price tag. The plum shades are very pretty, and the texture is soft and silky without being powdery or chunky, but a little too soft. I had to layer the shades a lot to get them to show up how I wanted on my eyes, and they seemed to blend away if I wasn’t being careful. I would like to try another shade of the quad because I do want to like these but I have some hesitations about this. . Swipe for swatches! Have you tried Lilah b? What do you think of these? I am also eyeing the lip oils 👀

Need more hours in a weekend 😴 summer means taking out my @narsissist wanted palette, and also putting fort de france back in my rotation. . Also amazed by the wear and finish of the @officialmanasi7 all over colors, which lightly stain and actually work well all over my face. The shade sanguinello is a gorgeous light coral shade. . Other products on my face today: @physiciansformula butter bronzer @ctilburymakeup peachgasm @bitebeauty french press lipgloss @lancomeofficial matte shaker in energy in peach . How is everyone?? I've been so busy I've barely really been on here!

Warm sunny favorites ☀️ . Really loving the @chanel.beauty @welovecoco water fresh tint for an ultra lightweight and cooling base. Do I dare call it a summer HG yet? We'll see. . @kosascosmetics papaya 1972 @ctilburymakeup peachgasm @physiciansformula butter bronzer @diormakeup meteore @stilacosmetics carefree @lancomeofficial matte shaker in energy in peach @surratt gloss in Au naturelle . Spent all day trying not to fall asleep after not sleeping on the flight back to DC. It resulted in me walking around almost all day and then crashing at night to sleep 11 hours 🙊 feeling back to normal today except I'm convinced I need to move to Seattle. . Spending all day cleaning, hanging out, and relaxing. Happy weekend!

Easy makeup for an effortless look- these are products that brighten my face and make me look polished without taking a lot of time. . @chanel.beauty / @welovecoco water fresh tint @hourglasscosmetics ambient lighting powder palette @kosascosmetics papaya 1972 @tomfordbeauty reflects gilt @kjaerweis magnetic eyeshadow @innisfreeofficial lip tint . What are your easy go to products?

Something about traveling makes me extra productive. This post has been sitting in my drafts folder, unfinished, for a few months. I even had to retake photos because in those couple of months, I bought new things that I couldnt put down. . I finally have a roundup of my top spring lip product picks, just in time for me to switch to summer lip shades 😅 read this as more of a summary of my favorites. . Most of these aren't surprising at all, such as @narsissist orgasm oil infused lip tint, @bobbibrown crushed liquid lipstick in juicy date, @pytbeauty fulfilled lip gloss, @chanel.beauty / @welovecoco 53 chicness, and many more. . Check out my #linkinbio for the full blog post and swatches! What were your favorite lip products for spring?
