Anyone else stoked that it’s beanie season? I kn Anyone else stoked that it’s beanie season? I know I am! 🙌🏻 🙌🏻 
 
Another all-matte look featuring the @menageriecosmetics Killer Purr Palette. 🦁 🐾 If you couldn’t tell from my previous posts, I love this vegan palette so much. In fact, this release was my favorite palette of 2020. ♥️ As a shimmer fiend, this truly shocked me, because this palette is mainly matte. 😯
 
Also, I always feel so excited to support indie beauty brands. There is so much thought and love that goes into designing and making these releases. (And spoiler alert I’m currently working on another indie beauty review for the Nomad Cosmetics Iceland Palette and y’all KNOW how I feel about blue! 🤩💙)
 
10/10 will continue to purchase from Menagerie once my No Buy ends. 
 
How do you feel about handmade products - makeup or otherwise?

Another outtake from one of my favorite, recent ph Another outtake from one of my favorite, recent photo shoots. ✨ 
 
Here’s a roundup of some of my recent favorites. 💗 Some products like the @maccosmetics Fix-Plus, @glossier Lid Stars (Lily & Slip), and @colourpopcosmetics Super Shock Shadows are tried-and-true favorites, while others are still a newer in my collection.
 
But unrelated to the makeup, how are y’all doing?
 
2021 has been speeding by for me. After a promotion at work, adjusting to my new schedule made it harder to post daily to Instagram. 📸 But I really missed being active on here. 
 
So, I’m taking things as they come - posting when I have time. And for now, I’m just trying to remain hopeful that things are getting better. 
 
🙏🏻 Tell me how you’re keeping hopefully and/or practicing gratitude right now. 🙏🏻

My pores are super happy that #PMDBeautygiftedme t My pores are super happy that #PMDBeautygiftedme their Clean Pro with Black Obsidian. 🖤 
 
Truth be told, prior to this, I already owned the Clean Pro in a berry color, but I couldn’t resist the urge to try this all-black version.
 
After undergrad I had a fleeting love affair with Clarisonic (RIP 💀), but I never found myself excited to use that device. I hated how intense the brush felt on my skin and how awkward it felt to hold them. Buttttt I really disliked how often I had to purchase new brush heads.
 
However, as an oily gal with hella large pores and texture, I’ve always felt like these types of cleansing devices were made for me. 
 
And it turns out they were lol! 
 
When it comes to the PMD Clean Pro, I love that....
🖤 I don’t need to purchase replacement brush heads.
🖤 The device isn’t awkward to hold or scratchy on my skin.
🖤 And most of all, I love how my skin feels with steady use!! 
 
Ever since I experienced my first Clean Pro, I’ve been obsessed. I typically use this 2X a day, 3-4 times a week.
 
However, I cannot yet confirm if I’m seeing any noticeable differences with the ActiveWarmth facial massager. But typically those types of anti-aging treatments take longer to see noticeable results or improvements to my skin. 
 
Do you use any tools or devices to amp up your skincare routine?

Any guesses on which MAC product I’d marry, make Any guesses on which MAC product I’d marry, make out with, or kill? 
 
As a marketer, MAC is such an interesting brand. In the 90s and early 2000s they were known for their edge, innovation, and quality, but once influencer marketing began to pick up steam in the 2010s they began to lose steam. 
 
Unlike other brands (for example ABH), that relied on influencers to build brand recognition and hype, MAC slept on influencer marketing. At the time, they were above it despite many MAC-trained artists going on to have successful careers as influencers and brand owners. And unfortunately for the brand, by the time they started playing the game, the space was super crowded with trendier brands that were seen as being more affordable, innovative, and inclusive. 
 
While there is a part of me that loves focusing on staple products with limited edition packaging, I’d love to see MAC release more thoughtful and innovative new collections. 
 
Do you have a favorite MAC product? What’s another brand that you think slept on or currently sleeps on influencer marketing?

Roses are red, skies are blue. @clarinsusa Lip Oil Roses are red, skies are blue. @clarinsusa Lip Oil, I love you. 😘 
 
But seriously though - lip oils are such under-appreciated products. They provide the shine of a gloss,  but the comfort of a balm.
 
I love the Mint version of this classic Clarins product because it makes my teeth look a little whiter. 
 
Do you guys like mint? I hate it in food (except mint-flavored, non-chocolate candy). However, I love it in beauty products lol. 
 
 
Side note: I’m slowly but surely bringing color back to my feed. After trying to keep a seasonal aesthetic “palette,” I discovered that in trying to “edit” myself didn’t feel genuine to me.

Super Shock Shadows are my all-time favorite formu Super Shock Shadows are my all-time favorite formula of eyeshadow. ✨ These unique cream-to-powder shadows come in a variety of finishes from matte to metallic to sheer, glittery toppers. 
 
The metallic and shimmer shadows are definitely the superior formula compared to the mattes. They provide the most high shine, multi-dimensional finish. 🌟 🌈 If you take care of them, they last well-beyond the 1-3 year shelf life that CP claims.
 
This photo features 10 of the brands most iconic and best-selling Super Shock Shadows including faves like Twitterpated, Frog, and Riz! ✨ In my humble opinion @colourpopcosmetics Super Shock Shadows remain their best release to-date. ♥️ 
 
Beauty or otherwise - tell me about one of your favorite things. 💗

Anyone else missing summer ATM, or just me? ☀️ Anyone else missing summer ATM, or just me? ☀️ 🌞 ☀️ 
 
Normally, I love the Winter and everything it brings: 
🌬 Refreshing, cold air
❄️ Fresh snow
☕️ Hot Chocolate & Ice Skating ⛸ 
 
But with little snow, no fun festivities, and the cold air making outdoor time a little more difficult, I’m officially ready for warmer weather. 
 
Another “nothing new” photo for today. I’m really proud of how I’ve been handling my beauty No Buy this year. 😊 I feel less overwhelmed without the burden of shopping right now. (Side note: one of my favorite creators *literally* announced her Limited Edition collab today, so I may make this one exception to my No Buy and purchase with a gift card that I received for Christmas.)
 
P.S. These flower pan designs from the Garden Variety collection get me every time I look at them. 🌸 🌺 
 
What’s your favorite season?
