Almay shadow softies were purchased with my own money. Recently, while running some errands, I happened upon this display of gorgeous eye shadows from Almay. These happened to be the new line of Shadow Softies. There were vibrant, beautiful single colors in really modern packaging. I’m a sucker for packaging. I kept looking and looking, trying to decide on a couple colors to try. ...
Introducing Frankie Rose Cosmetics
Frankie Rose Cosmetics provided an assortment of items for editorial purposes. Thoughts are my own. I’ve always loved knowing about new, up and coming brands first.

I also love vivid colors. I always tell people I’m not afraid of color, and it’s sooo ...
May 2013 Birchbox Overview
May 2013 Birchbox was purchased by me. I have no special affiliation with Birchbox. May’s Birchbox theme was “Beauty Diaries.” I guess it was supposed to be along the lines of sharing secrets and great products you love, or something, but it fell short. Really short. Dare I say, I seriously considered cancelling after receiving May’s box. And yeah, I know it’s June, and most people ...

The new Hamptons Classic Palette from Arbonne is a great collection for Summer beauty. ...

This Neutrogena Makeup review was made possible by press samples. All opinions are my own. I have always loved Neutrogena and their products. From their soaps and lotions to their shampoos, the line has been a staple in my house ever since I can remember. When I saw that Neutrogena had introduced a line of cosmetics, I knew I needed to try them. ...
