Milani Constellation Gel Eyeliners Miss the Mark

Milani Constellation Gel Eyeliners Miss the Mark

We all wanted to fall in love with the new Milani Constellation Gel Eyeliners. They were so sparkly and pretty and of course that instantly made us forget all our other list of requirements we consider on if we should purchase a product or not. I put these to the test to see if they were really worth your time to scour the beauty aisle for them and if they were really worth $5.99. In m opinion the Milani Constellation Gel liners miss the mark. They can be worn as a liner but not smudged to give the effect of…

Shopping My Stash and Creating Magic Volume 1

I don’t consider myself to be a pro at doing makeup nor do I consider myself an expert on the proper use of each product.

The eyeshadow palette contains five shadows, three of which are new shades. In…

Not Your Grandmothers Floral -Florabotanica Balenciaga Perfume

Not Your Grandmothers Floral -Florabotanica Balenciaga Perfume

 “The wearer is beautiful but dangerous, like some rare botanical species” I pride myself on being a fragrance connoisseur. I love to have different scents for all the seasons as well as scents for different occasions. Florabotnica Balenciaga is definitely not your grandmothers Floral perfume. Unlike scents from the past, this one is super complex and takes you on a rollercoaster ride throughout the Hidden Garden. Florabotanica evokes ambivalent bewitching beauty. Velvety and thorny, flirting with hemp and vetiver roots. The scent is flowery, developed on a rose note with a narcotic hemp twist. This fragrance is not for the…
