Let's discuss some of the new things that have arrived…. By Terry Eye Powder Kajal: This new pretty I haven't worn on my eyes yet, but from swatching it's a velvet finish in the sense it's not an inky super black eyeliner like your standard liquid. It's not a jet black liner, but the finish and color gives it this gorgeous sultry look. I'll play with this later this week. It's definitely

Now I know I said I was going to take a break, but that clearly doesn't mean that I would forget about my favorite makeup line… It will be quick since I got the items about an hour ago, and I'm ready to fall asleep :) The collection consists of: six new cream (Aqua-Print) eyeshadows (they're not Ombre Blackstars). These are in retractable pencil type of design. Why did she made them like

I'm not one to really disclose my personal affairs, since I've always wanted this blog to be about makeup and all the happy and pretty things…but given the lack of quality posts, I figure I'd give a bit of an explanation.  Within the past few months I've been dealing with health issues, not to mention with the stress of moving…along with ending my older apartment with my ex. I came to

Hi all! It's been a while since I last did a blog post. I've been busy in my personal life and I probably won't be blogging as often since I'm trying to focus my energy on trying to make some positive changes. So I wanted to do swatches on my arm, but the counter manager didn't want me to make a mess on my arm, so she did them on a piece of paper. I like the sheer rouge lipstick, but I still

It's a bit of a random post, but since I am in the process of packing/moving, I've managed to find skincare boxes that were hiding out in random places in the apartment. Before I throw them away and continuing on with the packing, here they are and my thoughts on them: Ingredients of Creme VIP O2 Creme VIP O2: This cream has a pearly like appearance in the jar (it's a white cream),

Sorry for the late review…I've been in the middle of finding a new residence, I've been caught up with personal affairs… So finally after wearing the CC Lumi-Serum and I've been asked questions in terms of what it is. I can only speak for Rose Elixir and it's definitely not a tinted moisturizer or a BB cream. I've been wearing this under foundation to see how it looks and performs. It does

Hi all! It has been a while, and this will be a quick post since I am in the middle of errands…look at what I got a few hours ago.  Terry Holiday consists of: Two eyeliners (a black and gold one) Two ombre backstars Nail polish (a topcoat and I think a couple of shades) **Four glosses (I don't know if this is part of holiday, or just an addition to her existing gloss lineup),

I told y'all that there will be some By Terry reviews... I remember doing a post of my swatches of these, but I think I accidentally deleted the post.  Moving on...these are eyeshadows that don't need a primer, that glide on like butter, not to mention they wear like IRON. These items don't need much of a review because they are one of her (many) standouts from her line. It's probably

Once upon a time, in a not-so-long-ago past....my first true luxury foundation was By Terry Lumiere Veloutee. Looking back at this review, I never really expressed how much I loved this foundation. It was go-to for weddings, special occasions, and any event / reason where I would be photographed.  It was a medium to full coverage foundation, it glided on like a dream, blurred all

Hi all! It's been a busy month for me, and it seems like the next few months will basically be the same trend. Working like crazy, plus before we know it the holidays will be around the corner and pass...you know how it is. Anyway, I've cut down on the makeup spending, not by force, but I feel like I'm arriving at a standstill. Whenever I shop at say, Saks, Barneys, Bloomingdales...there's

Finally!!! The collection I have been waiting for since at least spring time! :D I just got the items in, so I can't give comprehensive reviews since I have been busy with errands, but I figured you'd would all enjoy the items :) Terry came out with 5 new Hyaluronic Sheer Rouges: 11.

Hi all! As some of you have noticed, I was on a bit of a makeup break. Summer collections did not catch my attention and even though fall collections are my favorite in terms of colors...none of them wowed me. Sad to say it, but not even Suqqu, Armani, and other collections called out to me. It was okay, it was a break that I needed (I think). From time to time, I definitely feel we go through

My evening skincare regimen: For those who don't know my skin type: it's combo/dry, with some oily areas on my t-zone in the summer. I did experience breakouts, primarily on my forehead and jawline. I've been to dermatologists, only for them to recommend a glycolic cleanser and retin-A, which made my skin worse. After trial and error, this has been the best for my acne, without drying me out.&

I'm not one to discuss skincare on this blog, for two main reasons: 1. I'm not one to really change my routine, I mean my base (staple) skincare hasn't really changed, but it has expanded with serums and other items over the past couple of years. 2. I never wanted this blog to be primarily on skincare, just makeup.  My skin is unique to me and it's still an ever changing,

As some of you may or may not know, my future wife friend Shameless Fripperies made a trip to Japan...like as a random thing. Can I just say how jealous I am (in a loving way) that she can just pack her bags and go on a moments notice?  I basically told her to buy all the makeup and brushes. I was wanting to see what she would buy, because if you haven't seen her stash

Over the years, as I've amassed makeup, I came to the inevitable crossroads. The ideal size of my stash in terms of physical dimensions (drawers) started to overflow. I love all of my makeup, but I needed to be creative in terms of storing it. It got to a point where it became overwhelming and having a hard time finding eyeshadows, palettes, etc. It's even harder when you have multiple

I finally got a preliminary solution when it comes to my stash and its storage. Downside is that I have yet to organize it all, and to buy some empty palettes for my eyeshadows. Everything is just kinda stuffed in drawers, a rough draft of organization... In the meantime, I managed to find my Le Metier de Beaute glosses and lip cremes. A bit of a sad part to the story: I had a few more of them,

I've noticed that one of my most viewed posts over here are the Armani Rouge d'Armani swatches. I figured that people appreciate seeing swatches of items from the same brand. I was surprised that I had not done swatches of all of my By Terry Rouge Terrybly lipsticks, since it is one of my favorite lipstick formulas.  I'll keep it short and sweet, so here are the photos: from left to

Hi ! So yesterday I saw a little piece of the By Terry Summer Collection, but only some of the products were there to be seen, so I grabbed the blushes, which were my main interest. I was highly disappointed in last years collection because she released a lip stain, which was so patchy, uneven, and it would hardly show up on my lips. I'm relieved that she released products which are MUCH
