MAC Paint Pot in Treasure Hunt

MAC Paint Pot in Treasure Hunt – Review and Swatch

Who loves Dinah from DGS Beauty? I know I do! I was SUPER lucky and won her Birthday Giveaway a few weeks ago. I’ve been gushing over the goodies ever since, but I haven’t reviewed any of them yet! Shame on me~

How To Soften A Makeup Brush

As I’m sure many of you know, I have a loving relationship with my MAC 187 brush. Not quite sonnet-writing, serenading love – but I do adore it.

ELF Studio Cream Blush in Heartbreaker

e.l.f. Studio Cream Blush in Heartbreaker – Review and Swatch

I mentioned in my review of the E.L.F Studio Matte Lip Color that I’d picked up two makeup items while I was grabbing a couple of brush replacements. That was the first and this is the second. I’ve become something of a blush fiend and I figured I’d be remiss to not give their cream
