Broke B Beauty
FACE (a.k.a. the hostest with the mostest). Makeup Remover| Klorane This facial makeup remover was recommended to be by my own mother whilst I was in a psych ward (ha... ha... follow my profile on here for updates on that, coming soon). It came to me in a time of NEED; metaphorical and physical: It was nice to be gifted a care package with something as awesome as THIS in it; and also—my skin desperately NEEDED it. I hadn’t put the work in on my face for the entire time I was there up until this part—I figured: If I FEEL crazy, I may as well let my skin grey away at the mere age of 25 and LOOK crazy as well.

Five Classic Makeup Palettes That Everyone Should Own
We all love impulse buying makeup, especially when it has a cult following, intense marketing, and incredibly enticing packaging. However, sometimes it can be better to withhold your money for those amazing products that you can really get your use out of. For this list, I will be including eyeshadow, blush, contour and highlight palettes I believe contain the best and most useable everyday shades.

Younique Day Moisturizer Review
I had a ton of reservations about Younique products for a very long time, even when my sister started selling makeup as a presenter. I never really felt like I could trust those companies because they all seemed too good to be true, and I wasn't confident in the products enough to buy them for myself. The company is focused more on makeup, and I never really was interested in spending a ton of money on products I didn't know how to use. But when Younique launched their You-ology line, I started getting more interested in their products because they were focused on skin care rather than makeup. My sister started letting me try her personal skin care products from the company's new line, and I ended up buying a few different items of my own. I have to say, the personalized day moisturizer is AMAZING.

My Top Drugstore Mascaras
If you haven't figured it out by now, which I'm sure you have given the name of my blog, mascara is very important to me! It's the beauty product I can't live without (besides concealer). I have tried tons of mascaras, both high end and drugstore, and through trial and error, I believe I have found the top drugstore mascaras. I swear, some of these work better than the high end mascaras I've tried. Let's get started with my top five drugstore mascaras!

My First Time Using a Bath Bomb
So full disclosure: I'm probably not the demographic for bath bombs. I'm a 21-year old male, who admittedly doesn't like taking baths. I kinda feel like I'm lying in my own dirt. So take everything you read with a pinch of salt.

Top 5 Lush Products
I have always been obsessed with Lush. Since it came into malls way back when I was a young teen, I always loved their products. Lately, as the poor university student I am, I haven't really been able to afford them. Lush is amazing, perfect for sensitive skin, for ethical sourcing and production, and unlike stuff in Bath and Body Works, it actually smells good. They're expensive, but worth it in my opinion. At least every once in awhile. And a small note: I am allergic to coconut, so none of these products will have coconut in them.

Marc Jacobs Velvet Primer & Velvet Noir Mascara Review
I was recently lucky enough to receive these two products from Influenster to review. I've never tried either of these products before, and I have never tried any sort of lash primer before.

How I Stopped Paying for High-End Makeup Products
Have you ever walked through the beauty aisles at Target and found yourself leaving with 1,231,872 things you didn't actually need? Or walked through Ulta or Sephora and found yourself purchasing an expensive palette, but made your wallet cry? Because same. Some might think I'm a beauty guru by the amount of beauty items I own, but I don't consider myself an influencer. Rather I'm an Influenster.
