The Best Matte Nude Liquid Lipsticks for Your Complexion

Searching for the perfect matte nude liquid lipstick when there are so many choices available can be a daunting task. No one has hours to spend in Sephora or Ulta swatching lipsticks on the back of their hand, plus it’s really not sanitary, just to find the perfect shade. In my book, there is no such thing as makeup rules and a person should definitely do whatever makes them feel comfortable. However, if you need a little advice hopefully with these tips finding a nude liquid lipstick that’s not too light, opaque, gray, pink, or beige will be a walk…

Revive Stressed Skin with the SheaMoisture Dragon Blood and Coffee Cherry Collection

Hey, Readers! We are T-10 days in counting before I defend my Ph.D. Dissertation and I can’t wait because I legit miss blogging. I have so many ideas for blog post and things I want to shoot, but because the way my brain is wired, I always feel so guilty every single time I think about doing something other than practicing my talk. As a way to decompress tonight, I decided it would be a good idea to get some non-science work done and what better way than share with you all the products that I’ve been raving about on…
