This $5 Mascara Has Rightfully Earned the #1 Spot on Amazon, If I Do Say So Myself

If someone were to tell me that I had to give up my entire makeup collection and I could only keep one item, I would pick mascara. As much as I love makeup, I'm not big on wearing a lot of it, but I never leave the house without mascara on. It makes me feel like my look is complete even if I have a bare face and my hair up in a ponytail (which, by the way, is my signature weekend look). With that said, I'm not really loyal to one mascara. I enjoy trying different formulas and keep a running list...

Essence Befitting The Blush Review & Swatches

Befitting Essence Befitting The Blush ($2.99 for 0.17 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark pink with moderate, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had rich color coverage in a single layer, which was more pigmentation than described by the brand, though it could be used with a lighter hand if desired to achieve more buildable coverage. The texture was soft, smooth, and blendable with a bit of firmness in the pan, just not enough to...

Essence Beloved The Blush Review & Swatches

Beloved Essence Beloved The Blush ($2.99 for 0.17 oz.) is a deep pink with moderate, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. The powder looked nearly matte to my eye, but applied and blended out, it looked like it had a more natural finish–still matte and not at all noticeably shimmery. It had rich color coverage, so I’d recommend using a light-to-moderate hand to pick up product if one wanted to build up color (as the formula was...

Essence Bespoke The Blush Review & Swatches

Bespoke Essence Bespoke The Blush ($2.99 for 0.17 oz.) is a light-medium, golden brown with moderate, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had good color coverage that was buildable to full coverage with less than half of a layer more on top. The texture was soft, smooth, and a smidgen firmer in the pan compared to other shades in the formula, but it wasn’t difficult to pick up and blending wasn’t difficult on my skin. It wore ...

Essence Blooming The Blush Review & Swatches

Blooming Essence Blooming The Blush ($2.99 for 0.17 oz.) is a light peach with moderate, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had opaque color coverage in a single layer, but its lightness in color (period) is to the point where it just barely showed up on my skin tone, which make it a little harder to see the impact of on my cheeks (but it was there!). The texture was soft, a smidgen powdery but not dry, and it had a touch ...

Aveeno Positively Radiant Maxglow Serum + Primer Tries a Little Too Hard

Aveeno Positively Radiant Maxglow Serum + Primer ($19.99) is a new hydrating facial serum that acts to not only hydrate skin and seal in moisture but also illuminates as well as primes it for makeup. According to Aveeno it’ll provide a lit-from-within-glow while multitasking as your facial primer and your serum all-in-one and that all sounds fantastic but I find that products that set out to perform a variety of different things are trying a little to hard and never quite succeed at accomplishi...

Aretha Franklin’s Most Powerful Early Performances: “Respect,” “Chain of Fools,” “Say a Little Prayer” & More

Surely you’ve heard, the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, is gravely ill with terminal cancer and has been moved to hospice care. The news has brought tearful tributes from celebrities and fans; lengthy retrospectives of her almost sixty-year career will follow. In a life as rich, troubled, and glamorous as hers, with so many intense highs and lows, it’s almost impossible to know where to begin, though a number of biographers have already told her story—or stories. She kept many of the de...

Purity in a Faucet

From the designer who made even a walker look kinda sexy, the Essence faucet has a robust yet refined aesthetic that puts chrome spouts to shame. The minimalistic design features a gentle curve of the neck, emerging from the floor or wall without any base or superfluous elements. The touch-sensitive switch makes it possible to increase or decrease flow with a simple tap while the outer rings handles temperature which is indicated by a hidden LED light.Designer: Manuel Hess

How Magazines For Women Of Color Are Leading The “Print Renaissance”

CosRX Two in One Poreless Power Liquid As Used by A Dry Skinned Girl

I decided a review of the new CosRX Two in One Poreless Power Liquid ($22) was in order since it has finally arrived in the US and is available at ulta.com.

I am so not the demographic for this product nor many of CosRX’s skincare products. Their line focuses on oily, blemish p...

Essence Metal Shock Eyeshadow Review & Swatches

Essence Metal Shock Eyeshadow ($4.99) is a fairly new cream eyeshadow that’s available in 7 shade selections. I picked up the shade 1 Second to Mars which is such a pretty golden peachy pink. I truly did buy it for the shade and not because it reminded me of Jared Leto. Someone in one of my posts mentioned how much cheaper Metal Shock Eyeshadow was compared to Stila’s Glitter & Glow formula but I had my doubts this would be anything like it. Don’t get me wrong about 90% of the Essence Cosmetics...

How To Win An Audience Over To Your Side

By the time that you are done with your speech, your audience can be on your side Image Credit: Lisa Risager Think for a moment about the last time that you gave a speech. When you first started your speech, was your audience on your side? Did they share your view of the world? Or, more likely, did you have some supporters but most of the people in your audience were adopting a “wait and see” attitude to find out what you were going to say? If this is the case for you, then you need to fin...
