I watch similar videos on YouTube, and the point being y’all can see what products I’ve used up and what I […] Read more…
Makeup Brands For People Of Color
Ever since the whole Tarte Shape Tape debacle, I have been a lot more cognizant of shade ranges in various brands. When it comes to talking about and to women of color, as a white woman, I want to make sure I’m not coming off as overly preachy or like I know best, as clearly, […] Read more…

Target Beauty Box: April 2018 – Wakeup and Makeup
It has been a LONG time since I purchased a Target Beauty Box. The last several month’s boxes just didn’t appeal to me and I have too many samples that I don’t use anyway so I hit pause. But I got a notification from the Target app the other day that a few were for […] Read more…

Lauren’s Favorite Highlighters
Ever since I wrote about my favorite moisturizers, I thought about writing about my favorites in different product categories. Next up – HIGHLIGHTERS!
