Current Cream Beauty Product Faves
LATELY, I JUST CAN'T GET OVER THE EASE OF CREAM BEAUTY PRODUCTS.
The heat has cranked up, my toddler has decided sleeping is for the weak, and I just never seem to have time. So that means my morning routine needs to be crazy fast, and cream products just ease that struggle a little bit faster.
Here's the thing though: I have dehydrated skin. And dehydration mixed with cream products can be dicey, because my skin wants to drink up any moisture it has, leaving blotchy pigment behind.
So, unsurprisingly, I am picky about what cream makeup products make the cut.... Read More

Tarte Breezy Cream Bronzer vs Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel
FUN FACT: ONE OF THE FIRST POSTS I EVER WROTE WAS ON CHANEL SOLEIL TAN DE CHANEL BRONZER, AND IT'S STILL ONE OF MY MOST READ POSTS!
That post was written back in 2013, and I'm always amused to see it still getting hits (mainly because the photography is crap LOL). We all know that Chanel knows how to make a cult product though, and Soleil Tan de Chanel definitely holds that status.
In fact, the first time I remember seeing it was on the Pixiwoo YouTube channel and it was promptly sold out everywhere for ages until I could get my hands on it. These days it's much easier to find cream bronzers, but Soleil Tan de Chanel was ahead of the game. ... Read More

Revisiting Colourpop Cosmetics | Is It Worth the Hype?
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, I SWORE OFF COLOURPOP.
While I loved the affordable price point, I had previously had some questionable customer service that left a sour taste in my mouth. Fast forward, and it seems like not a week goes by without a new Colourpop launch. It can be very hard not to get wrapped up in the constant, "OMG pretty need that!" FOMO feelings. The constant barrage of launches actually turned me off the brand; It has just been too much, too frequent.
Having said that, as a blogger I get asked about the brand frequently. I always believe in giving brands a second chance and it's important for me to try the brands you all are interested in seeing! So I went ahead and ordered a few things during their holiday sale back around Christmas time and considered it a clean slate.... Read More
