This is probably not very applicable to many people on this site but a few weeks ago I posted about my ongoing struggle with acne. At the time I was using a $200+ brand-name regime and the results were...dissapointing to say the least. However I did find out that my skin reacted well to the part of the regime with

I’d like just to bring this absolute beauty to everyone’s attention-

blindly grabbed a toner because I really needed it when I was visiting home for 3 weeks. I normally use witch hazel. I ended up getting this rosewater toner by Botanics Organic at target and OHHH MY GAWD. My skin is amazing AF right now. My acne calmed down. I’m glowy and my skin is so supple. My boyfriend rubbed up

My new favorite is NYX Wicked Lippie in Envy. I saw someone wearing blue lipstick (MAC Matte Royal) in the mall last month and was obsessed. I finally broke down and bought the cheaper NYX dupe and loved it. I didn’t think my old ass could pull it off but it works.

My holy grail right now is derma rolling. I started six months ago and have taken years off my face. It is intimidating at first, you have to be incredibly careful and sterilizing is essential. I actually look forward to it now. After I roll, I use vitamin C serum (tried various brands but go back to Oz Naturals) and

I’ve been using Eminence for the last few years, on the reccomendation of my spa, and I love it to pieces but I can’t reallly afford all the products I’d like to (and should be) using. I really can’t complain because I spend $35 on face wash that lasts me a year+, but ya know. Is that the same with the Mario Badescu?

I know how you feel. I feel a little conspicuous in it, but I think it’s because I literally don’t wear lip color of any kind. I only just started doing a nude lip this fall, so going from no lip to RED™® was ... a big step. But half the battle is feeling comfortable in it. If you don’t dig how you look, it doesn’t

I found a product that has pretty much changed my face: Dermalogica Skinperfect Primer. It costs roughly a thousand dollars (slight exaggeration) for a tube the size of my pinky finger but OMG you guys... I am in my late 30s and have always had some under eye circles. This primer is tinted, so on super pale people

I like the way the two work together because the pencil brings the blue tones back in, but the stain has the durability. COMBINE THE TWO, SEPHORA.

I apparently missed the YouTube beauty guru train on this for awhile, but I just got Stila’s eyeshadow in Kitten. I use it as a highlighter, not an eyeshadow, and it is AMAZING. New Holy Grail for sure.

For the first time in my life I sucked it up and started using all products from the same line, and....goddamn, it’s working SO fucking well. I’ve struggled with ADULT ACNE FUUCK for the last few years and now my skin looks amazing, like better than it has in a long, long time. I use Mario Badescu cleanser, toner, and

I splurged on an MAC blush and lipstick and they’re gorgeous. Sheertone Blush in Breath of Plum, and Satin Lipstick in Amorous. Pretty, pretty plums.

hell yeah beauty thread! anyone try the new candle light foundation by laura mercier? Also anyone have trouble returning things to sephora without a recepit, I got a very nice perfume gift for christmas but it is something I already had, and when I went to return it they said they could not give me anything not even

Koh Gen Do’s lotion II which is basically Korean toner that preps your skin after washing to absorb the products you put on it after. Ive been all about the Korean double cleansing thing and with this, essentially water type thing that you splash on after cleaning, I've put on serum after that that my skin hasn't had

so recently I was at Sephora buying something boring (translucent setting powder), and I fell prey to the checkout-line minis. I bought tiny bottles of the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day shampoo and conditioner. they were absurdly expensive. and goddamn if I don’t have the best hair of my life. it’s shiny like I’ve

Got Kat Von D’s tattoo liquid liner and am loving it.

Oh ALSO, I got this beauty this week and I loooove it. I thought it was going to be a liquid lipstick and dry down? But it actually feels like a regular lipstick just...liquid? If that makes sense. SO it isn’t as long lasting BUT it is also not as drying and say, the kat von d liquid lipstick.

Somewhere someone recommended to me both the NARS lip pencil in Cruella and the Sephora-brand cream lipstain in Always Red, and daaaaaaaamn! Y’all were right — those were the shades of red I was looking for. The pencil doesn’t have the staying power that the stain does, but that’s okay. And damn, that lipstain held up

SO after hearing really good things about Pixi’s new skincare stuff I decided to try the glow tonic (an exfoliating toner) and it did not break me out or irritate my skin so I bought a full size and could not resist getting the Pixi glow mud mask. I am a sucker for mud masks. I reallllly hope I love them because if I

I’m obsessed with the Hourglass Dim Light powder and Kat Von D Everlasting liquid lipstick. Plus I just ordered the most beautiful set of rose gold Zoeva brushes that I cannot wait to arrive.
