I’m a sucker for Sephora Lip Kits! That’s where this one came from (so she’s just a mini). The thing with Sephora Lip Kits (not that I’m complaining) is the shades that come in them are fairly middle-of-the-road in an attempt to appeal to the masses. Apparently Honeysuckle fits the…
Before coffee, before the commute to the office, and even before my kids wake up, I try to savour 10 quiet minutes to decorate my face. It’s not a lot of time, but it’s just enough to pull together a simple yet effective look to carry you through the day!…
I know, I know, I’m a matte lipstick kind of lady, but this winter has been particularly cold and dry, so I’ve been looking for something that feels a bit more comforting on the lips (which is also why I had to try the Rare Beauty Lip Oil). I was…

The New Year is a great time to get a new lease on your lipstick collection! Y’all, if you haven’t guessed already: I have too many lipsticks. They’re too easy to just pick up while you’re out and about, tag onto an order, or accumulate in kits, freebies, and well-intentioned…
