Spring and Summer 2016 Beauty Haul

Apparently, I never listen to myself because I'm pretty sure I swore that I had enough makeup to last me a whole year after my last beauty haul, yet here I am... with another big one. Now that all the damage has been done, I figured I'd just show you everything I got for spring and summer!

Review: The Shower Conditioning Brush by Remington

I remember back when I would comb my hair in the shower after applying conditioner in an attempt to thoroughly saturate it, but it put a lot of stress on my hair and pulled some of it out with every use. With a comfortable detangling brush like this that also dispenses my favorite conditioner, my hair-cleaning process has never been easier. My hair looks and feels better than ever! Read more below to see how this great new product can improve your daily routine.
Disclaimer: Remington kindly sent this to me for review, but as always, all thoughts are honest and my own.

Summer to Fall Makeup Look

Fall is fast approaching but if you live anywhere near southern California, the weather pretty much says it's still summer, so my full-on fall makeup routine hasn't kicked in quite yet. With that in mind, here's a relatively neutral look that incorporates both summer and fall elements. Read more for photos and all the products I used!

Review: L'Oreal Miss Manga Rock Mascara

L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Miss Manga Rock Mascara

I've been on a mascara kick lately especially after running out of my all-time favorite Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara from Tarte. Since that one's quite pricey though, I turned to the drugstore and found this brand new release from L'Oreal. Keep reading to find out if it's my new all-time favorite!

Spring Beauty Haul: Sephora, NYX, Tarte, Skin Care, + More!

I know I just posted a massive collective beauty haul on January, but I seriously couldn't resist buying all these amazing new spring releases! A majority of these products are some of my new all-time favorite things, so keep reading for more details!

Review: Maybelline FIT ME! Matte + Poreless Foundation

I went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond one day without really setting my eyes on anything in particular, but I came across this new release by Maybelline, and the words "matte" and "poreless" instantly got me excited. Could it finally be my holy grail drugstore foundation? Find out by reading the rest of this review!

Review & Swatches: Rimmel London Stay Blushed!

Remember when I raved about the L'Oreal Visible Lift Blur Blush a while ago? Well that one doesn't even compare to Rimmel's latest release, so get ready for another much-acclaimed drugstore product! Read more for a detailed review with swatches.

Review: NYX Eyebrow Gel in "Chocolate"

I was so excited to try this eyebrow gel that I purchased it online and paid for shipping when there's an ULTA right across my place (but all the eyebrow gels were sold out, of course). I really couldn't wait until they'd restock though so I went ahead and ordered it from NYX's online store. The product itself is surprisingly quite inexpensive ($6.99), considering that many people say it's a dupe for Make Up For Ever's widely acclaimed Aqua Brow ($20). It also came with a free NYX tinted butter lip balm, so at least the shipping wasn't for nothing. Read more for an in-depth review!

Mini Lipstick Collection

I say "mini" because believe it or not, this is nowhere near a full lipstick collection based on all the beauty gurus and bloggers I know who have shown theirs. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to go through all my lippies and share my brief thoughts on them. Keep reading for product details!

Review: Wet n Wild Mega Last Lip Colors + Swatches PART 2

See part 1 here to read about my overall review of the collection. If you've read my recent beauty posts, it's not a surprise to see me in this huge lipstick frenzy. I've been trying to expand my collection mostly because I haven't quite found the perfect shade yet. However, some of my favorite drugstore finds are Wet n Wild's Megalast Lip Colors, and luckily, I happened to run into two more of them to add to my set.
