Grace & Stella Mud Mask | Skincare

Current Mask: Grace & Stella Deep Sea Mud Mask  My current go-to mud mask is this gem from Grace & Stella . It's a very lightweight mud mask that gets the job done. This smaller tube has lasted a while and I've used it 1-2 times a week for over a month now. There isn't a scent to it and it is super gentle. Mud masks tend to leave my sensitive skin red and irritated. But this one doesn't. To get a good mud mask detox I usually use a typical one for half the time (or less) that it recommends. I can wear this one for the full-time recommended. There also isn't the tightening and drying feeling that comes with a mud mask. I was skeptical of the results because of that. Was it actually going to detox my skin?  With that comes the only warning I have with this mask. After using you will see your skin purge! It's mostly so after the first and maybe second use. But even after weeks of use I still notice a little the next day as the detox is bringing all the gunk

Merit Beauty Signature Lip | Makeup

"INTRODUCING SIGNATURE LIP — COMFORTABLE COLOR THAT'S SO LIGHTWEIGHT, YOU'LL FORGET YOU'RE WEARING IT." - Merit Beauty  There is a new brand on my radar this year, Merit Beauty . From the breathtaking packaging to the minimalist vibe. I'm here for it. The subtle glow is their vibe for the everyday person. They cater to it with products everyone would love. So when Merit Beauty reached out to send over their new Signature Lip I was thrilled! This  hydrating, buildable lipstick has a soft satin finish. It not only is your lipstick shade but also has the benefits to nourish your lips. It is moisturizing with p lant-derived squalane and sunflower seed oil paired with stabilized vitamin C to give a comfortable, light-as-air finish. Did I mention the coverage is buildable? You can take it from a swipe of lip balm to a pigmented f lush of color. I chose the shades Baby, a flattering pinky nude, and 1990, that gorgeous brown we adore from the '90s. They're bot

Kylie Cosmetics x Nightmare on Elm Street | Makeup

   It dawned on me that there are still makeup collections from last year that I haven't even mentioned here. Some I'm willing to look past and not worry about but the new faves have to be mentioned. So if you notice some older collections... Don't mind me!   This one was even further back, unfortunately, but I used this collection almost every day for a while.  This palette has turned into a favorite. I haven't noticed a huge change in the formula since the reformulation but I've reached for this palette all fall and winter. I have to say it has mainly been for the neutrals but I do love the deep shades it offers. It has beautiful reds for Christmas and Valentine's but also has deep sultry shades for fall glam. All winter I was rocking a neutral eye with a bold lip and this palette was perfect for that too. The mattes blend really nicely and last all day. The deeper shades are a tad harder to blend than the neutrals but wear just as nicely.  Swatches left to ri
