(Make it)…Coloured Raine

In an effort to break out of my makeup brand comfort zone, I decided this summer that I would try new brands. Colourpop, NYX, and Wet n Wild are my typically my go tos for lippies. I had been hearing a buzz about Coloured Raine on social media. Black owned Cruelty Free (certified through PETA)…

Milani Color Statement 

I’m sure everyone has heard about Milani cosmetics by now however, I believe it’s often overlooked because it’s considered a “drugstore” brand. Milani has a full range of colors and finishes priced at 6.00/each, that will suite any skin tone.  Milani Matte collection These charts are really true to tone. I like that about Milani there’s…

Nicka K Velvet pt.2 

Ok so I said I was going back and guess what….I did! I completed my collection with the remaining four colors of the Nicka K Velvet matte collection.  I have now clue how or why I left these colors in the store. 🙄 Once again, these lip colors apply smoothly like a gloss but dry…
