Milani Moisture Lock Lip Treatment

Milani Moisture Lock Lip Treatment

I love Milani as a brand. Even before they revamped their line of nail polish and cosmetics, I've been a huge fan. I knew I needed to try these Moisture Lock Lip Treatments, so I went and grabbed up 2 that I thought I would absolutely love - Nourishing Raspberry and Conditioning Grapeseed. Let's just say I'm not that enthused about them.

Dear Destany, a conversation with my brain

Dear Destany,
I'm not sure why you think you've got this blogging thing down. You totally suck, and no one wants to work with you. You only take selfies in your car, and you are constantly wearing the same shirt! And just look at your eyebrows.

Younique Lip Bonbons in Red Velvet Cake and Chocolate Truffle


I'm a HUGE fan of tinted lip balm. I have a collection to be rivaled by the masses. (Yes, I'm serious). If it's a tinted balm, I'll try it, and most likely love it. I've not met a tinted balm I didn't like - including these delicious Lip Bonbons from Younique! I have 2 of them currently - Red Velvet Cake and Chocolate Truffle. They are larger than I expected, and the size upgrade is well worth it! They are lighted scented with vanilla, and tinted to a shade close to their name. They are super moisturizing too! I was given the Red Velvet Cake balm as a hostess gift, and I purchased Chocolate Truffle on my own :)

L'Oreal InFallible Pro-Contour palettes

L'Oreal InFallible Pro-Contour palettes

I'll be the first to tell you that I don't know much about contouring. I very sparingly use palettes designed for contouring, and I do watch some Youtube videos. I am always happy to try out stuff to make it easier - like these new L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Contour palettes. There's 2 to choose from, and they have silky smooth application!

Tatcha Balanced Pore Perfecting Water Gel

Tatcha Balanced Pore Perfecting Water Gel

My pores need work. There I said it. I've had large pores my entire life, and there's really not much that can be done but to fill them right? Or could there be something to help them tighten up?  I was given the chance to try Tatcha Balanced Pore Perfecting Water Gel Moisturizer, and one of the claims of the product is that it will visibly tighten pores in 28 days.

NEW! Jesse's Girl Liquid Eyeliners in bright, fun colors!

Oh have I got a treat for you this afternoon! I was given the opportunity to try out the new Liquid Eyeliners from Jesse's Girl Cosmetics! They aren't available just yet, but let me tell you - when they are available, you need to jump on these! I've been wearing one of them pretty much every day...

Zoya Seashells Collection

Zoya Seashells Collection

I know a lot of people don't like textured polishes - and I'll be the first to admit that some of them are just not for me. However, I have never been let down by any of the Zoya Pixie Dusts. The newest collection, for summer 2016, is the Seashells Collection!

Julie G Candy Shoppe Colors swatches


Have you ever been so far behind on something you forgot about things? Well, yeah, when I was having issues with my gallbladder, before I had it removed, I had a lot of stuff ready to post on the blog, and then it kind of fell by the wayside... these Julie G Candy Shoppe Colors are the perfect example! I bought them, wore them, took the pictures, then forgot about them. And they've been hanging out in my blog folder ever since. So it's high time I showed them off, right? :) These polishes have a "jelly bean finish," which isn't quite matte, and it's not quite glossy - it's kind of a waxy feel.

Too Faced Melted Kisses and Sweet Cheeks duo

Too Faced Melted Kisses and Sweet Cheeks duo

It's becoming no secret that I love purple lipstick. When I wear it I get lots of compliments, so I figured I'd better just start owning it. I purchased the Melted Kisses and Sweet Cheeks from the Too Faced website for my blogaversary giveaways earlier this year, and I decided to keep one of the 3 for myself - so of course it was the purple one!

L'Oreal Infallible Pro Matte Gloss


Bold lips are something I'm always experimenting with. I'm never quite sure if I pull them off or not, mostly because I don't feel like my eyes are dramatic enough for the effect. You know what I mean? I probably way overthink it, huh? These L'Oreal Infallible Pro Matte Glosses are just the right amount of "ooomph" and "ahhh." They have pretty good wear time (4-5 hours with minimal touch-ups), are bright and fun to wear.

ColourPop Lippie Stix in Topanga

ColourPop Lippie Stix in Topanga

I can't deny that I purchased this ColourPop Lipp Stix because of the name - Topanga. Seriously? If you are a Boy (or Girl) Meets World fan, your purchase is a no-brainer. But is the color a "me" color - you bet!
