This super compact, travel-ready palette is packed with some unexpected colors that are meant to inspire your inner *J.GLOW*. Want to see my first impression and swatches? Keep scrolling!
You may or may not have an opinion about the Kardashian / Jenner clan, but that girl Kylie Jenner knows how to move some makeup! Her first #Kyshadow eyeshadow palette sold out online in ONE MINUTE after being announced less than 24 hours earlier! I’m really not a fan of this particular palette as it is definitely made with fairer skin in mind – most of the shades would make me appear washed out. So I decided to dupe it with some shades that are similar, but a tad more brown girl friendly. Keep reading for swatches!Continue Reading
Hair removal, yikes! It doesn’t *have* to be scary. With today’s advanced treatments, you can have your hair zapped away with a touch of the laser either in a clinic environment or in the comfort of your own home. And now with advancements in laser technology, there are multiple laser treatments that remove hair – so which one is right for you? Keep reading as I break down IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and laser hair treatments so you can choose the right fit for YOU!Continue Reading
I try to keep to my skincare routine 24/7 because everytime I get a tiny ways off track, but skin goes psycho. But as long as I’m not traveling, I do the same thing to my face day in and day out (I only switch up products as the seasons/weather change). What skincare products can I absolutely not live without? I’ve got a few that definitely make my skin happier and more clear than it’s ever been. Without further ado, I present to you my top five, top five, top five (*Drake voice*) skincare products.
#NEWSERIESALERT The number one comment on my Instagram pictures is always about my skin! How do I keep it clear? Do I do anything special? What do I use on my face? How often do I exfoliate? And the list continues. So I thought I would keep a running total of my skincare escapades on my blog to chronicle the best (and worst) products I have tried in an attempt to maintain the most clear skin possible. Welcome to Spence’s Skincare Series!
Beauty powerhouse Anastasia Beverly Hills just released her fourth and fifth Glow Kits last week to a bunch of frenzied beauty fanatics who bought them up like hotcakes! I purchased the ‘Sweets’ Glow Kit and I’m definitely loving it, but I can’t help but compare several of the shades to a few already in my collection. Is it worth the buy? Or can you get away with ‘the look for less’? Read on to find out!
I typically don’t purchase from Tarte Cosmetics because they rarely create base shades that match my skintone. Some of their formulas are to die for, but if I can’t find foundation to match my skin, what’s the point? I was so excited when they announced their collaboration with makeup artist and beauty guru @makeupshayla: a contour palette for medium/dark skintones. I was super intrigued so I purchased it and now that I’ve had a chance to swatch, I wanted to share my initial thoughts with you guys. Keep reading for more!Continue Reading
I just got my hands on this beauty two days ago and I had to share with you all right away because Kat Von D’s Serpentina palette has been teased for nearly a year now and it is finally here!

I was introduced to Beauty Escape Cosmetics by my bangin’ blogger boo @angelamarytanner and haven’t looked back! Beauty Escape Cosmetics makes some gorgeous shadows and highlighters, including several highlighters that slay on brown skin. I ordered three to test out for you guys and I will definitely be purchasing again! Keep reading to find out why and see some face swatches!
My love for Looxi Beauty knows NO bounds as I have been slowly building my Looxi collection since they opened their virtual doors a little over a year ago. I’m guessing I was one of their earlier bandwagoners and I guess you could say I’m pretty much driving the wagon like a mad woman at this point with my 40+ shadow collection! With the release of their NEW metallic powder highlighters, I can drive the wagon AND you can see my cheeks from space. Best. Day. Ever. Check out my quick video below for blinding swatches!Continue Reading
