Hello everyone. Now we have all heard of beauty box subscriptions. I agree that they are a great way to try out great products. But while there are many out and about, there aren't many that carry brands for the Women of Color. Most popular beauty boxes don't have the option of customizing the boxes to your skin color and hair type. Today I...

I know that my last favorites video/post was exactly one year ago, October 2012, but maybe favorites can be a yearly thing for me. Just kidding!

A new brush has landed at E.l.f Cosmetics. A smaller version of their Stipple Brush.

This brush retails for $3 at E.l.f and is from their Studio Line. My makeup brush collection consists of all...

Today I am sharing some of the new E.l.f Long-lasting Lustrous Eyeshadows.

Something that has really had a huge impact on my makeup collection has been highlighters. I have so many in my collection! I recently purchased the E.l.f Gotta Glow "Blush".

Continuing my partial coverage on E.l.f's new essential line makeup, I picked up the new Flawless Eyeshadow Palette. This palette comes in 7 different shades, and I picked up the shade "Golden Goddess". I picked this specific palette because I saw it as a great fall palette with all it's bronze shades. This palette retails for $2 on the E.l.f Cosmetics website. Let's see what I think about this eyeshadow palette.
Today is my first day of my "Hair Tutorial" series. Over the course of the next 4 weeks I will be uploading new hair tutorials every week. I will be doing many tutorials mainly based on relaxed hair! I hate that there aren't many tutorials online for us textured girls! This week I started off with a simple flat iron tutorial. If you all here...
Another one of E.l.f's new line of makeup is the Jumbo Eyeshadow Stick. Now if you are the least bit into makeup & beauty, these might look a little familiar. NYX carries a similar jumbo eyeshadow pencil that works really well and coms in a variety of shades. This eyeshadow stick by E.l.f comes in 10 shades, ranging from nudes to deep night-time shades. I only purchased one shade "Turkish Coffee" because of the very poor selection at Kmart. This product retails for $2 and can be found at E.l.f's website and drugstores near you. So let's see what I think about this Eyeshadow Stick!
E.l.f Cosmetics has recently rolled out a bunch of new products. Their essential line seems to have had a complete makeover! New items, including the Jumbo Lip Gloss Sticks, now cost $2. Not a pretty high price increase from $1. The Jumbo Lip Gloss Pencils come in 8 shades, and I only purchased one due to the poor selection in Kmart. The shade I purchased "Movie Star" is the darkest and the boldest color that E.l.f carries. So lets see what I think about this new E.l.f Lip Gloss Stick!
