Juvia’s Place: Time for a Change!
Disclaimer: I love everything that Juvia’s Place represents and what the brand is all about. I love their quality, hands down. I love their price (disliked the shipping, though). However, nothing is perfect. Therefore, I may or may not have a problem with the colourstory. But that is not what this post is about today. The point being that makeup is NOT essential, you may feel that way, but it does not change the fact that makeup does not equate survival. MU is always a want and never a need. If you are sensitive to constructive critique, please leave.

Favorite Lipstick Brands
I recently took a poll on Facebook and asked what everyone's favorite brand of lipstick was. There are many brands on the market and it can be hard to know which one to choose. As a lipstick lover myself, I found the poll helpful and it gives me an idea of what brands I should put on my "to try" list. I am always looking for a new favorite to discover.

11 New Palettes and My Tift with Them
I. Aphrodisiac by Urban Decay The term Aphrodisiac either comes from, is related to, or derived from the Greek goddess Aphrodite. When I think about Aphrodite (which I do a lot, being really into Greek mythology), I can’t help but think about Valentine’s Day, and the last thing that comes to mind when I think about February 14 is earthly ground shades. I think berry shades, from red to pink and everything in between. And the sad thing is that UD could’ve made this into an all workable soft berry palette rather than having just that one pop of magenta, and it would have worked. This is such a good looking palette on the outside, and is WTF on the inside.

How To Apply Self-Tanner Like a Pro: Tips & Videos
Once upon a time, I was 12 years old and ghostly white. I was so pale, kids in class called me a vampire. Due to health issues, I couldn't tan. When I did tan, it caused hormone flareups that made me pretty unbearable to be around.

Makeup Products That Offer Sun Protection
Summer always seems so glamorous from far away: bathing suits, beaches, blue skies, sun.Those lovely UV rays can wreak serious havoc on your skin though, causing problems from unsightly sunburns, to tan lines, all the way up to the more serious, long-term side effects like melanoma. Protecting your skin from the sun requires real foresight; you cannot always apply the how-to's of protecting your skin from the sun naturally. It's important to always wear sunscreen and to take a break in the shade if you're feeling burned or dehydrated, but you can further protect your skin by using makeup products that offer sun protection as well. That way, you kill two birds with one stone: You look fabulous while you're out and about, and keeping it that way while protecting your skin.

11 Ways to Say "No" to Makeup
Disclaimer: You burn your money however you want to boo. This is for those people who know they live on a budget, but still cannot help themselves, or those who want to be wise and conscious customers (notwithstanding that they can afford it) who do not want to burden the environment with waste. I do not take responsibility for your hurt sentiments, except to say it is unintentional. Being sensitive about materialism (unless given by a loved one) is completely illogical and beneath us.
