Review, Swatches, Looks: Sugarpill Sparkle Baby Palette

Sunday, August 14, 2016

I was recently reading the blog Portrait of Mai and she mentioned that the Sugarpill Cold Chemistry and Sparkle Baby palettes were being dc'd.

Wait.

Sparkle Baby. I have that. I never reviewed that. *sheepish grin* Today is as good of a day as any!

Review: Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Hyaluronic Acid Lotion

Wednesday, August 10, 2016

I love hyaluronic acid lotions (or toners), I really do. For skin that dehydrates easily, HA lotions feel so nice as they help your skin plump and hold moisture. A long time ago (3 years!) I reviewed the "original" Gokujyun (Super) Moist Lotion and compared it to the JUJU Aquamoist Lotion (read that here). In addition to the regular Moist, there are now several versions of the Hada Labo HA lotion, including Light and Alpha (retinol). When I ran out of my last lotion and found out that Hada Labo released a Premium version last year with FIVE forms of hyaluronic acid, well, I was very excited. Five, guys. Five!

Review, Swatches, Looks: LORAC PRO 3 Palette

Friday, July 29, 2016

Hello!

It's been far too long. I'll tell you what I was up to some other time, today I want to show you the LORAC PRO 3 Palette. You see, a couple months ago I dropped a self made MAC 15 shadow palette filled with some of my favorite matte highlight, neutrals and transitional shades (this is not the first time, why do I keep bringing makeup into rooms with hard flooring?!) and shattered many of the shades. When I heard soon after that LORAC was coming out with a new palette, I thought that the 3 would go a long way towards replacing some of those destroyed shades.

Good morning!

It's been a while since I blogged with any regularity. My good friend Gaby gave me some great advice. I'm paraphrasing here, but she told me to do what bring me joy, and to cease that activity when it stopped being a source of enjoyment in my life. I had been blogging for a very, very long time (actually, I think it's my 6 year bloggaversary if I'm not mistaken) and simply put, the joy had all dried out. A break did me good. But now I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.
