The Malika by Blush Tribe
Disclaimer: This is not a full review because I won’t have used and/or tested all the shadows, as this a very new product in my collection. I am a neutral reviewer, or I try to be. So nothing is ever a hundred for me, because everything and everyone has their imperfections. This is more on the unimpressed side.

Foundations You Need
As a makeup artist, I have tried almost every foundation known to man, within my budget, of course. From $43 to $6, these are my favorite foundations I use year round. I pick and choose which ones I want to use from time to time. If I have extra money to spend, I'll go with the more expensive brand just to give myself a little reward. If I am on a budget (which seems to be all the time) I will go for the more cheaper priced foundation. Either way, I am always satisfied with my makeup. Anyway, here are my top favorite foundations.

Red Hair
Is it just me or has red hair suddenly taken over the hair scene? Seems like yesterday everyone wanted bleach blonde hair, or blue tips to show how rebellious you are, or even the full on Emo/Goth black look. Don't try to deny it, we've all made hair mistakes right?

10 Beauty Benefits of Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is a beautiful, transparent gel that derives from the Aloe plant, that contains a plethora of benefits. It was originally grown in Africa and now can be found all around the world, from the Mediterranean to some parts of The United States. Over the course of history, it has been used in many different ways across many different cultures. In fact, this plant is so amazing that almost 6,000 years ago, ancient Egyptians deemed it the “plant of immortality.” It is believed that Egyptian [and beauty] queens Cleopatra and Nefertiti used it in their daily beauty routines. The Native Americans and Greeks utilized the gel for its’ medicinal properties, in order to fix various types of skin issues, such as treating wounds.

11 New Palettes and My Tiff with Them
Disclaimer: I do not know why I have been writing “tift” instead of tiff in my titles. Despite knowing that it felt wrong. I work too many days, that’s my excuse. Regardless, forgive me for the embarrassing mistake. Moving on, critiquing is not hating (a dictionary would tell you that). And if you feel free to disagree, then this post may not be for you. Credit goes to Trendmood for keeping people posted about the makeup industry. This is a first impression based on online viewing only. I have not had the chance to see or touch any of these physically.

Morphe Review
Morphe is a brand that I recently discovered. I have watched many YouTube Beauty Vloggers obsess over this brand but always thought that they were high end for some reason. When I discovered their makeup was reasonably priced I was excited to try them out. I love trying new products and have heard many positive things about this brand.

BuyInCoins Review
I am a bargain shopper. I am always looking for the lowest price I can get on items I am planning to purchase. When I discovered BuyInCoins I was amazed at how inexpensive their items were. I decided to try out some of the items in their beauty category, as this is the category I shop the most in. This article is my honest opinion on this website and the items that I purchased from them. All items were purchased with my own money and this article is not a paid sponsorship. All opinions are that of my own and based on personal experience.
