Makeup Review

Back in college, I had little to no budget for makeup. Not that makeup was a necessity back then, of course, but I did have a subject about “social arts” where we were taught to dress for interviews and do our makeup. So I had to at least have the basics. And to me, then, …

I’ve already mentioned in a previous post that my friend Rae sent me a few beauty stuff; one of which is the Maybelline Creamy Matte lipstick in Clay Crush. Rae sent it over because it doesn’t suit her skintone as well as she had expected. I was under the impression that it would not look …

Metallic liquid lipsticks are all the rage these days because, apparently, anything that a Kardashian-Jenner touches turns to gold. Ha.

But I’m making an exemption with the Wet N Wild Megalast Lipstick in Bare It All because I believe I won’t get …

You know how they say that first impressions matter a lot because those are the ones that last, etcetera, etcetera? I used to believe in that, but now I think it’s an awful idea to subscribe to.
