2023 Recap
2023 was such a good year for new discoveries in skincare and makeup, and readopting old favorites too. I’ve made a lot of progress this year with picking and keeping my skin clear, and I had a lot of strong feelings about some of the products I tried. So I thought what we could do…

November ICON Box!
This might be my favorite box I’ve ever gotten. I have been immensely looking forward to going over all the items I got/picked and continuing to use them over the course of the winter. First though, I just want you to picture this: Sitting on my couch, with a cup of coffee, at 8am on…

Touch-Base
Hi – it’s been a rough few months and while I do need to catch up on the blog, I also have some other priorities right now. My grandmother passed away on the 3rd of November. We thought we had at least the next few Christmases left with her, but she fell a few months…

IPSY May ICON Box, ABH, swatches and more!
Time to talk about the Spring ICON Box! It was a little complicated but I’m mostly really enjoying the stuff I got. Like we’ve said before, the ICON Box happens every three months, so once a season, and it’s basically a vamped up version of the BoxyCharm (previously Glam Bag Plus). It has a celebrity…

This spring has been really crazy but I’m getting back on schedule with my ordering and products. Becoming more inspired every day there’s some sunshine. The IPSY merger with Boxycharm resulted in some very late deliveries, so I unfortunately had to skip April and jump right to May’s stuff. I’ll probably put some of April’s…

Spotlight On Black-Owned Beauty by Allure Reviews, Swatches, Thoughts
Hi! Spring is here! I have more energy for writing and creating and talking. This month I added an additional box of products onto my Allure Beauty Box. Just for funsies. A little treat. So I’m not an activist or like, someone who cares much to know the race of the person I’m buying…
