The Loch Ness Monster Likes Makeup Too

It's been a while since I wrote a "new to my collection" blog post. I came up with the idea for these posts a while ago as a way to showcase makeup that I recently added to my collection that I wasn't planning to review separately. The idea here is to give you a lot of opinions quickly. So, without further ado, lets jump into chatting about the products that are new to my collection! Creme de la Creme Palette by ColourPop - I wanted to try ColourPop's powder highlight formula, and, when I saw this palette was on sale, I knew I had to pick it up. Unfortunately, I didn't really enjoy this formula. The shades aren't very pigmented, and they're extremely glittery. I'm not getting a ton of use out of this palette, but, fortunately, it only cost be about $5, so that's okay. Ultra Matte Lip in Saigon by ColourPop - I really like all of ColourPop's lip products; I have a ton of them in my collection, and I use them often. The Ultra Ma...

It's been a while since I've written one of these new to my collection blogs. I've picked up a lot of new products recently, so I have a lot to talk about. Let's get into it. Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion by Clinique - I needed a new moisturizer and, fortunately, I got a sample of Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, which I've been wanting to try for a while.  I've only been using it for a few days, but so far I like it! It feels very nourishing and refreshing on the skin, and it's definitely helping me do battle against dry, winter skin. Overall, I'm quite happy with this product, and I think I'll be repurchasing it in the future. Megaglo Highlighting Powder in Caught In Your Web by Wet n' Wild - I was at Wal-Mart a little while ago, and I saw this highlight, and I was like "yeah, I'll buy that." This highlight is kind of a silvery, icy, purple-white shade, which is right up my ally. I...

Another month, another empties blog! I used up a lot of products this month, just in time to replace them with approximately 500 and a half new products. Yay! Anyway, let's get into the products that I used up this month. Double Duty Beauty Shape Tape Contour Concealer by Tarte - I've written a lot about this concealer (as has everyone else in the makeup universe); it's one of my favorites and I've been through several tubes of this product. It gives really full coverage, and it's very crease resistant. If you haven't tried the Shape Tape concealer yet, I highly recommend it. I'll certainly continue to repurchase it. Nourishing Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum by OGX - So, I really like OGX's hair products; they're cheap and they get the job done. I've gone through several bottles of their Coconut Milk Serum. It definitely reduces frizziness and it makes my hair softer and stronger. If you're looking for cheap hair care products, I...

I am a person that has trouble with my hair. I can't style it, I can't make it grow, and I can't handle it when it's humid; I just can't do anything with my hair. However, one of my biggest problems is that my hair is extremely dry, like Sahara dry. Because my hair is so dry, I don't wash it very often, which means that I get a lot of buildup on my scalp between washes. Most of the buildup is residue from hair care products, and it's really difficult to get off the scalp. I also co-wash my hair, which means that the products I use to clean my hair are extremely gentle and aren't designed to deep wash your scalp. Anyway, I wanted to give you that background because I think it explains why I was so excited to learn about Bumble and Bumble's Scalp Detox. I saw the product for the first time when I was scrolling through Instagram one day, and I immediately thought "that's for me."  Bumble and Bumble says that the product "removes bui...

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....
