Buy This, Not That: MAC 188 and e.l.f Small Stipple Brush

It is pretty obvious that these brushes aren't dupes, but they're still a similar concept that warrants some comparison since buying one over the other could save you THIRTY-TWO FREAKING DOLLARS.

My Summer Sun Care Essentials

It looks like it is finally time(ish) for that great, scorching orb in the sky to visit Oregon once again! Since sun protection is a bit of a personal subject for me (moreso for my mom who has several chunks of skin missing due to skin cancer), I thought I would share some of my favorite products that really work, but don't leave you smelling like a lifeguard. 

Clinique Black Honey Nail Polish Dupe!

Yeah, yeah... nearly black nail polishes are out of season, I know. I just couldn't help but share this dupe with you though since Clinique Black Honey is one of my go-to vampy shades for Fall.

Spring Pink Lip Picks

• O.C.C "Anime" is a "seriously neon fuchsia". This liquid, seriously punchy pink packs a whollop and stays all day with a tingly peppermint feeling and a satin/matte finish. 
• Maybelline "Cherry on Top" packs enough bright fuchsia-pink to really POP, but is sheer enough to wear out on errands. 
• Milani "Pink Rave" combines the opacity of a matte lipstick with the comfort and shine of a gloss in this bright fuchsia gem of a drugstore lippie. 
• Too Faced "Melted Fuchsia" is super bright, super opaque, super fuchsia, and super matte, making it the ultimate statement lip. 
• Revlon "Adorned" is not for the faint of heart! This cool-toned, super opaque fuchsia gloss has a little (or a lot) extra something in the form of fuchsia and blue glitter. Ka-POW!
• CoverGirl "Watermelon Twist" is the ultimate "I'm lazy, but chic" lip. Just swipe on some of this sheer, bright pink balm and you're ready to go!
