I know, if I didn't have to review it, I never would have used it. It smelled so good. I saved the little rose from it. Read more

I've never tried canceling Ipsy, so I had no idea about the cancellation process. That's really annoying! I have to give Boxycharm credit — it's really easy to cancel their subscription! Read more

Definitely Glossy! If you don't want to spend $21 on a box, go with Birchbox for $10, but I recommend spending the extra money for Glossy. You get bigger and better products. Also, Ruelala is having a Glossybox sale right now where you can get Glossy for $15 for one month or $95 for 6 months, so it's a good time to… Read more

Birchbox and Glossybox tend to be heavier on the skincare. All the boxes tend to have a mix, but Birch and Glossy are skewed a little more toward the skincare side, while Ipsy goes heavier on the makeup. Read more

All the NYX products go straight into my pile of beauty products to give away. Read more

I've been using it under my eyebrow, too! It's a lot better than I initially thought it was. Read more

If you want a nice melony shade in OCC, Grandma or Electric Grandma (the Electric Grandma being the metallic version) would probably be the way to go. I have noticed that the lighter shades of OCC usually don't stay on as long as the darker shades, but they still stay on longer than most lipsticks. Read more

It really is a great box. I was so excited to discover a beauty box from a very small business. It's great getting handmade products that you know the two owners put a lot of love and time into. Read more

It is a really pretty color! And it's only $6, so you really can't beat the price. Read more

I didn't know Sweden had a Glossybox! I love looking at what is in the Glossybox in other countries on Instagram. I got that Royal Apothic lip thing in my February box and I got the Elizabeth Mott eyeliner in another box (Boxycharm, I think) a few months ago. That lipstick sounds pretty! Read more

I love this new feature! I can't wait to read future installments! Read more

Beaded lashes are definitely an interesting look. I would be up for trying it, just don't really know how to do it. Read more

I am pale with green eyes and brown hair. I'm guessing your skin has cool undertones, so Stalker would probably be the best choice. It's matte and a blue-based bright red and I look absolutely amazing in it. Role Play would probably be the way to go if you want metallic, although Super NSFW would also be a pretty… Read more

I end up doing the shower thing every time! Just wish I could make it look good without having to do that! Read more

So pretty, Jane! I will have to try it sometime. How do you avoid getting nail polish all over your skin surrounding the nails? I am so bad about that. Do you do the trick where you put vaseline or something around the nails and then wipe it off when you're done or are your hands just not as shaky as mine? I wish… Read more

Real dried flowers? That sounds so pretty! What kind of flowers? Read more

Thanks :). I'm glad you like my columns. I have so much fun writing them and talking to the readers! Ipsy is definitely a good box to start with if you want to try lots of different kinds of makeup to figure out what works for you. Read more

Try OCC lip tar if you haven't already. They have a lot of matte shade options and it stays on me forever. Read more

Sephora would definitely do a makeover for you. If you are worried about encountering some transphobia, maybe call the local Sephora (or have a friend call if you are more comfortable with that), ask to talk to the manager, explain that you are a trans woman looking for a makeover and really need someone who is… Read more

Have you tried OCC lip tar? For a bold, shimmery red, I love their Role Play (more blue-based with a pearliness to it) and Manhunter (a very orangey, sparkly red)? I feel so sexy in them and get so many compliments. I also like their Vintage and Stalker for reds that are matte. Read more
