I missed BB cream! I used to use Holika Holika Moisture BB Cream every day, but sadly had to abandon it once it was no longer winter in New York. It’s just too pale!

It comes in two sizes: a full 50ml for $29.99, and a travel-size 20ml for $9.99 (I got two of the latter). Missha... Read More

I think they may have finally turned that around, though. Rimmel ScandalEyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal ($4.59 for 0.042) quietly launched in US not too long ago, I think. I’m not sure since they didn’t... Read More

Maybelline Color Sensational High Shine Gloss Review and Swatches (Iced Chocolate)
Maybelline Color Sensational High Shine Gloss ($5.50-7.49 for 0.17 fl oz) launched quietly not too long ago to little fanfare. I’m not sure why, because it’s one of my favorite new releases from the drugstore. Maybelline claims this is the first wax-free lipgloss. I’m not sure what that means, to be honest, but I do know that I quite like this formula. It has a... Read More
