  • If youve been here for awhile you KNOW Im notorious
    2 months ago by southeastbymidwest If you've been here for awhile you KNOW I'm notorious about getting to reviews later but I think this might the be latest one yet. This is the  @klpolish  Ethereal Garden Collection, which was their Spring (yes I said Spring) 2018 Collection... Feel free to be horrified in the comments below. In all honesty I don't know why I'm even putting up this review because this collection is no longer even available on their site. HOWEVER, on the off chance they decide to do a restock check out the clickable link in my bio for my review and swatches. And
  • How many jumped and got the urbandecaycosmetics Naked Reloaded Palette?
    2 months ago by southeastbymidwest How many jumped and got the  @urbandecaycosmetics  Naked Reloaded Palette? I did when Ulta was having a few promotions if you purchased it a few months back. While it may not be true, I personally feel like Urban Decay discontinued the original Naked Palette to bring out the Naked Reloaded. Due to this, I approach my review in a way that says "Was this a necessary move?"

  • One of the things that I love about pixibeauty is
    2 months ago by southeastbymidwest One of the things that I love about  @pixibeauty  is their PR packages and this one didn't disappoint, it even had name printed on it like an RX. Inside were a BUNCH of their Vitamin C products and while I would love to go ahead and post about them, I really want to give them all a good go before I post about them. So expect a review of these products to go up in a few weeks. However, to tide you over I can give you a hint and tell you that one of the products might just be
  • I received some amazing PRsamples from dermae that Ill be
    2 months ago by southeastbymidwest I received some amazing  #PRsamples  from  @dermae  that I'll be posting about in the near future...well everything except the Scalp Relief Shampoo & Conditioner as I've reviewed those in the past and LOVED them. You can search for my review on the blog via the clickable link in my profile. However, I'll be posting up a review of the Tinted Moisturizer next week I believe, the Mineral Sunscreen Mist the week after that, and the Hydrating Mist the week after that so stay tuned!⁠ ⁠  #dermae   #crueltyfree   #crueltyfreebeauty  ⁠  #beautyflatlay   #flatlay   #discoverunder5k   #beauty   #beautyblog   #beautybloggers   #beautyblogger   #bblogger   #bbloggers   #beautyproducts   #beautyguru 
  • The wand on the hourglasscosmetics Caution Mascara gives me life!
    3 months ago by southeastbymidwest The wand on the  @hourglasscosmetics  Caution Mascara gives me life! It gives my lashes lift, volume, and length while being tapered just enough that it doesn't bop me on the nose or transfer to my eye lid / below my eyes...I could tell you more but then you wouldn't have a reason to go click the clickable link in my bio to read my full review. So head on over and do that to see if the formula is as good as the wand!⁠ ⁠ .⁠ ⁠  #cautionmascara   #hgcrueltyfree   #hourglasscosmetics   #crueltyfreebeauty   #crueltyfree   #beautyflatlay   #flatlay   #discoverunder5k   #beauty   #beautyblog   #beautybloggers   #beautyblogger   #bblogger
