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?

Another look using the @Menageriecosmetics Killer Another look using the @Menageriecosmetics Killer Purr Palette. 🦁 🐾 
 
Unlike the previous look I shared, this warm-toned look uses both metallic shades in the palette.
 
I loved this soft, shimmery look. (LOL, this is a “soft” look for me - not sure if this qualifies as soft for all! 😂). And NGL I felt even better about this look when I received compliments at the Dunkin Donut’s Drive-Thru! 🤩 
 
No makeup question today, but are you team Dunkin, Starbucks, or do you make your own coffee at home?

The @meltcosmetics Gemini Palette remains my favor The @meltcosmetics Gemini Palette remains my favorite grungy, murky eyeshadow palettes. 💚 Also, it is important to note that this THE palette that set this trend over the last few years. 
 
But the unsung heroes of the Melt Cosmetic line are the gel liners. With every palette release, the brand launches some unique gel liner shades that range from matte to metallic, and sheer to pigmented. 
 
P.S. After losing hope that my Melt x Beetlejuice Recently Deceased Palette 💀 💚 would ever arrive, 40 days later my missing Sephora package finally made it to my doorstep. Would y’all still be interesting in a review on the collection? 
 
What is an unsung hero or an underrated favorite in your life?
