In Our Makeup Bag: Rouge Bunny Rouge Decadent Duo
Duo products are always super fun, but also risky. What happens if you buy a duo and don’t like one of the sides? Or if you only WANT one of the sides but have to fork over more money for a duo? Beauty brands take risks when they pair products together and have to ensure that both are of the highest quality AND complement each other.
In Our Makeup Bag: Kahina Giving Beauty Toning Mist
Luxe skincare products are always a fun way to switch up your routine. Every time I use one, I feel like I’m pampering myself! And we all know the importance of effective skincare; if you’re skin isn’t in tip-top shape, it will show, regardless of how much makeup you slather on.

In Our Makeup Bag: Too Faced Romantic Eye Palette
Eyeshadow is one of my favorite beauty products. Your eyes are the only place that you can get away with sporting bright teals, purples and greens. (I mean, they don’t make teal blush for a reason.)
In Our Makeup Bag: New York Color Lip Stain
Like most girls I know, my collection of lip products is overflowing. I have more lipsticks, glosses and colors than I can EVER possibly use up. However, one department I’m lacking in is lip stains. I’m not exactly sure why, but I only have a couple and can’t say I reach for them very often.
In Our Makeup Bag: Korres Wild Rose Foundation
If you’re a girl who has flawless skin or just doesn’t feel the need to wear foundation, then you are lucky. ~~And I kinda hate you.~~ I have fairly decent skin but do tend to breakout in the T-zone and experience overall redness. I don’t wear foundation every single day, but I do feel like my skin looks more even when I’m sporting it.
In Our Makeup Bag: Too Faced Aqua Bunny Bronzer
I think bronzer is one makeup item every girl needs. When used properly, it instantly brightens your complexion, makes you look awake, and gives you a healthy glow. Unfortunately, bronzer is one of those products that many people over-do and end up looking like an Oompa Loompa. Another downside to bronzer is that it’s a summer product that quickly melts off. In the hot months, your makeup is susceptible to run and streak, even if you shop high-end.
CC Beauty Live: Quick & Dirty Review-Maybelline FIT Collection
Every few months when I start to run out of my high-end make up, I tend to re-evaluate why I’m spending so much money on products. I save up a lot in order to purchase the likes of Make Up For Ever, NARS, MAC, and Urban Decay. But I also think about what I could be spending that money on, and I look into more affordable options.

In Our Makeup Bag: LUSH Mange Too
Body moisturizer should be an essential ingredient in your makeup bag and your life! Not only does it make your body soft and touchable (and who doesn’t want that?), but it also keeps you from practically itching your skin off in cold and/or dry weather.
In Our Makeup Bag: theBalm Shady Lady Vol. 3
Eyeshadow is an essential for any makeup junkie. Whether you’re all about neutrals or crazy for colors, it’s a great way to enhance your natural beauty and have fun with makeup! I also love the versatility of a shadow that can be used both wet and dry, making it a liner too! And getting a bunch of colors in one handy little package offers not only an array of options, but a really good deal too!
CC Beauty Live: Quick & Dirty Review – Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector
I wanted to share this golden nugget of awesome with you: Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector. Yes, it’s quite the title, but it’s not overcompensating for anything. I figured what better way to start off the New Year than to erase the dark spots of your past.

From CollegeFashion: I Tried It…TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo
At 6:45 a.m. on the Monday morning after Thanksgiving break, I had approximately 2.5 minutes to get ready and get out the door to make it on time to my 8 a.m. class. Like almost all Monday mornings, I went to reach for my favorite dry shampoo – Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo – to rejuvenate my hair that I hadn’t washed since Saturday night…
