The Loch Ness Monster Likes Makeup Too

This month was extremely busy for me; I spent a lot of time traveling, moving, and packing to move. Consequently, I don't have a lot of new favorites. If I was wearing makeup, I was mostly using tried and true favorites. However, I do have a couple of new favorites to share with you. Flawless Finish Foundation by e.l.f. - I have four words: I love this foundation. If you know me, you know that I'm a huge fan of drugstore foundations. In my opinion, there's no real reason to buy a high end foundation; quite honestly, drugstore foundations provide almost the same quality. I would say that the Flawless Finish Foundation provides medium to full coverage and a demi-matte, satin finish. It's a beautiful foundation, it's very flattering on the skin, and it's fairly long wearing. On an average day, I get a solid eight hours of wear out of this foundation. Plus, it's only $6; there's no way that you'll get better value for that price. I highly recom...

As I've said before, I really like writing posts about products that I used up. I buy so much makeup that sometimes it's nice to prove to myself that I can/do use things up and actually get my money's worth. It's weird, but I feel accomplished when I use things up, and, somehow, I used a LOT of things up this month (which is good because I'm moving this month and I'm trying to de-clutter things before I move). Anyway, let's get into this month's empties: Airspun Translucent Extra Coverage Loose Face Powder by Coty - Say what you want about this powder, but it lasts FOREVER. I think I purchased this product in October, I used it almost everyday, and I'm only now using it up. That's crazy, no? Anyway, I finally used up this powder, and I have opinions about it. At first, I didn't love this product because I thought it looked dry and cakey on my skin; however, I realized that I was using too much product. I think this is definitely a '...

The Marvelous Mauves Eyeshadow Palette by Dose of Colors has had my attention for quite a while. I feel like everyone in the beauty community has brought it up at some point (usually to say how great it is), so, naturally, I've been wanting to try it. I finally purchased it a couple of weeks ago when it was on sale during the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty Sale. I've been using it for about a week or so, and I have THOUGHTS about it. First of all, I'm going to spoil the review a bit by saying that I absolutely LOVE this palette . After I finished applying it to my eyes for the first time, I was like "where has this palette been all my life?" I truly think this is one of the best matte formulas I've ever used. You know how comfortable you feel when you put on your favorite jeans? That's how I felt when I started applying these shadows to my eyelids. I immediately felt so comfortable with the palette. Okay, now that I've gushed about this palette, let me giv...

I buy a lot of makeup, skincare products, and haircare products; I review a very small number of those products on this blog. So, a few months ago, I decided to start this "New to My Collection" series. The point of this series is to talk about products that I wouldn't normally mention on my blog (products that are neither fantastic nor disappointing). It's just a way to review more products more efficiently, and I LOVE reviewing products. Anyway, let's jump into the products that are new to my collection. Oil of Morocco Argan Oil 3-Day Smooth Perfect Blow Dry Smoothing Cream by Marc Anthony - Sometimes, I see the names of certain products and think, "that company just tried to jam as many descriptive words in there as possible." This is one of the those products; the name is certainly a mouthful. However, on a practical level, I think this product is pretty good. In general, I like and trust Marc Anthony products, and this product is no exception....
