A Beauty Blog
Recently, I got to attend the launch party for the new BareMinerals BarePro concealer, Gen Nude Blushes and Gen Nude Lip Lacquers in New York. Lucky for us, they sent us home with our perfect shade to test on our own. I figured since many of us started dabbling in higher-end makeup using the OG BareMinerals, it would be fun to see how the brand has grown up and test a bunch of their new releases on camera.
Despite this being one of the longest names in foundation history, I decided to give this newly reformulated product a try – along with the concealer. After I saw one of my favorite beauty bloggers really like the concealer particularly, it totally intrigued me, so let’s see if I felt the same in my Rimmel Lasting Finish 25hr Breathable Foundation and Concealer review/wear test.

Combining a little style and beauty today, I recently posted a What’s In My Bag video on my YouTube channel and featured my new Radley London Bow Lane tote that I LOVE. If you’re a fan of Kate Spade or Ralph Lauren style, more structured bags, I think you’re going to love this brand. Plus, if you’re curious what I carry around with me on a daily basis (because we’re all a little nosey, amirite?), then set aside some time today and check out what’s in my bag!
If you read this blog, you probably have a strong affinity for makeup and beauty. I recently partnered up with a few of my fellow beauty blogging friends from a network we’re a part of called, Beauty Blog Coalition. We decided it would be fun for our readers and followers to get to know us a bit more through a makeup junkie tag where we answered 10 beauty related questions. If you want to check out the questions and my answers, continue reading.
If you’re reading this blog, you’re probably a beauty enthusiast of some capacity. One of the guilty pleasures of loving makeup is when you finally ‘hit pan’ on a product or scrape that last bit of lipstick or gloss out of the tube. Finishing our beauty products is just so satisfying! In honor of finishing products, I kicked off a Project Pan Empties 2018; rounding up a list of makeup I intend on completely finishing this year.
One may think… WHAT beauty brands haven’t you tried, Steffanie!? Well, with the surge in beauty over the last five years, there’s been a ton of growth in the indie cosmetics market, in addition to more established, higher-end brands simply stepping up their game. I rounded up a few new-to-me beauty brands I want to try in 2018. Lots of indie, lots of cruelty-free/vegan and lots of gorgeous swatches lie ahead…
So for all of you out there hating on the new Tarte Shape Tape foundation (don’t blame you – I don’t plan on buying/reviewing it until they expand the shade range), don’t think ALL Tarte products are terrible. They recently released new Chrome Paints, a pressed pigment/cream shadow hybrid – that have been blowing my mind lately. If you’re into getting ready watching YouTube videos (or just want to see the Chrome Paints in action), then continue reading to get to my chit chat get ready with me!

I don’t care if you’re a high-end makeup lover or not, who DOESN’T get excited about a new drugstore foundation!? It gives me hope each and every time when a brand releases a new formula because this time, it just may be the best foundation in the whole wide world and at an affordable price. Right!? So when clean-beauty brand Physicians Formula released their new Healthy Foundation, I literally ordered it online blindly to test it out in a day-long wear test. Let’s get into my Physicians Formula Healthy Foundation review and wear test.
Happy Monday, everyone! Today’s post was written with inspiration from my fellow beauty blogging buddy, Kate Loves Makeup. She did a ‘favorite YouTube videos’ of 2017, but there’s no possible way for me to go through all of the videos I watched in 2017 and narrow it down. So many gems! So I narrowed it down to my 10 favorite beauty YouTubers of 2017 and sharing one of my favorite videos they created.
