Mehron is known in the theater makeup world for having fabulous products that are packed full of color. These pigments are intense and bright, long lasting, and, most importantly, easy to use.

One Direction Makeup Collection Review – Up All Night

Tarte Rainforest After Dark Palette Review & Swatches
Lately, I’ve been noticing a trend in makeup palettes. This trend is that there are more all in one palettes hitting the market. These generally have a few eye shadow shades, a blush or two, and maybe a highlighter and/or bronzers. These can be great, if the colors are right for you.

I wandered into Ulta over the weekend, on a whim. Really, I had a coupon that was about to expire, and I figured that I’d go poke around, see what there was I couldn’t live without. When I ...
Aubrey Organics Mineral Makeup Review
Press samples I have been a mineral makeup girl for the vast majority of my makeup wearing life. I was introduced to Bare Escentuals the first year of college or so, and for a great many years, that was my go to brand. Over the years, I have tried a few other brands of mineral makeup, but generally went back to BE for my foundation needs. ...
