I promise to lay off the Lancome products after this one... I just can't help it. I love Lancome and they take such good care of my super dry skin - and this mask has become one of my go-tos for when my skin feels super tight and uncomfortable. I actually recommended it to a friend and gave her some samples - she ended up loving it and purchasing it as well even though she's more normal to dry. Read on to learn more about the mask I use when my skin needs some intense ... Read More
The perfect foundation is almost too good to be true... Lancome is a brand that I have completely fallen head over heels for since working at Macys. It's one of my favorite counters to work at and a counter/brand that I can see myself wanting to work for full time one day. I love the sophisticated elegance of the brand and the fact that it is equal parts a color brand as well as a skincare brand. When news broke that Lancome would be doing a custom foundation, I was eager to see if ... Read More
The majority of college students either are currently doing their mid-terms, have just wrapped up or are about to dive into the stress of it all this week. With things like exams to worry about, many probably have even less time and energy devoted into looking their best amidst all the stress. However, if you know me then you know that glam is everything for me - even a subtle glam. These 5 items are my life-savers when I am sleep-deprived, emotionally exhausted - basically the epitome of a ... Read More
Only going to be playing Future's Mask Off while I write my Mask Monday posts. Starting off Mask Mondays with one of my favorite brands, I bring to you the Lancome Energie de Vie 2-in-1 product, the Illuminating and Purifying Exfoliating Mask . This mask is my absolute go-to when I need my skin to have a fresh glow but also need a little scrubbing action. My skin, although dry, begs for a good scrubbing sometimes and I tend to be nervous to use potentially harsher ... Read More

My next Back to Mac is going to be liiit. MAC is one of those brands that I love but don't get around to buying from too often. Of course, I have my absolute staples from mac (namely Fix+) but I don't have all that much MAC as opposed to other brands like ABH and Tarte, etc. Here is a rundown of the newest things I've bought from MAC and my thoughts on them. Also, you may notice some of these items look really mini - that's because they are! MAC now has Mini MACS which ... Read More

Top to bottom: Hudson, Bittersweet, ... Read More
I don't think your nose is ready for this. As an ex-Bath and Body Works employee, I have quite a collection of candles. Spicy, floral and fruity - I've got it all, but my favorite candles - the ones that make me want to run home after work or school to light up are my fall candles. They make me feel so warm and cozy inside and bring my nose so much happiness. Here is my list of candles for happy noses and cozy bedrooms: Flannel - BBW An OG for candle lovers everywhere - Flannel ... Read More
The terrible three. I have had my fair share of eyeshadow palettes. I have more eyeshadows than I know what to do with, and these are the palettes that I really don't know what to do with. Some of them are too old to return and some are just shitty formulas that I force myself to keep trying. Without further ado, I present the palettes that I regret buying - one is extremely popular and I'm sure will shock you and the others are ones that you may consider because of the price-point but I ...
