POND’S Cleansing Towelettes

  When it comes to makeup removing wipes I can be a bit of a collector. Seriously, if I see a new type in the store I have to have them to try out. This is not always great for my skin as sometimes makeup removing wipes can dry out my already dry skin. However, sometimes I luck up and find a gem hidden in

  • Would you believe me if I told you that these
    2 weeks ago by southeastbymidwest Would you believe me if I told you that these are  @realtechniques  brushes? They sure don't look like the Real Techniques brushes that we've come to love and in all honesty they don't perform like them either... let me start over. This is the Real Techniques Everyday Essentials Brush Set (minus the beauty sponge that comes in the kit) that I received for free from  @influenster  for my honest review. It includes (from left to right) a blush brush, an expert face brush, a setting brush, and a deluxe crease brush. At first I didn't like the newly designed handles
  • I recently received the YesHipolito ultabeauty Favorites Box I received
    3 weeks ago by southeastbymidwest I recently received the  @YesHipolito   @ultabeauty  Favorites Box. I received the box because it featured  @dermae  products and I'm on the Derma E PR list. No I'm not on the level that I'll be going on trips anytime soon, but maybe one day Anywho, this box also featured products from  @elfcosmetics   @ardellbeauty  and several others.

    4 weeks ago by southeastbymidwest Before we talk about what this picture is I want to mention that I am back to doing both YouTube AND blog posts. That way those of you who would rather read about the topic of the day can and those who would rather watch / listen can do that as well. Anywho, on to today's topic which beauty samples. I'm starting a new series on my channels called Foiled Again where I randomly pick a few beauty samples and use them to determine if I can make a decision based off what is provided and if so what that
  • Its the middle of October so that means its time
    1 month ago by southeastbymidwest It's the middle of October so that means it's time for monthly favorites! In order to post to Instagram I had to give you a little bit of a spoiler. You can see that two of the products I was loving last month were the  @pixibeauty  Liquid Fairy Light Shadows and the  @biodermausa  Serum for very dry skin. I was loving the Pixi Shadow because it was easy to throw on and make my eyes look more alert and awake for classes. I was loving the Bioderma Serum because I've had some BAD eczema patches on my face, if you've
  • A friend of mine sneffielynn decided to create her
    1 month ago by southeastbymidwest A friend of mine,  @sneffielynn  , decided to create her first project pan! She is basing it around adult cartoons (think Simpsons, South Park, etc.) and wanted some name suggestions so I threw out "Bite My Shiny Metal Pan" and she loved it! This means that in support of the name and her first project pan I had to do my first project pan. If you want to know more about this project pan and want to know what products, besides the two pictured, I'm panning then check out the clickable link in my bio! .  #bitemyshinymetalpan   #projectpan   #geeksandbeauties   #beauty
