Evelyn StarrPublished 6 years ago in BlushWhy I Refuse to Order a Second Time From Kylie Cosmetics.Com
I am so disappointed with my experience with Kylie Cosmetics. In fact, I am pissed and I definitely won’t be ordering from that website again. From my experience, I’ve never liked Kylie Jenner in general, but I’ve never hated her. I figured I would give her makeup line a try for the sake of Christmas presents at the very least. I feel like I’ve been played and here’s why.

Automatic hair curlers are designed to take hair styling to a new level. With many different beauty companies taking their shot at creating the next big thing in the hair curling world, there are a lot of misses. When you are purchasing a hair product you put a lot of trust into the brand and into their vision.

Just like you, I've been in the drug store staring blankly at dozens of nail strengtheners wondering which one wasn't lying to me. Which one will actually work? Which one will waste my money? These are questions that pound against your skull and often leave you walking out in a huff, frustrated that you couldn't figure it out.
Taylor MarkarianPublished 6 years ago in BlushBest Silk Pillowcases for Healthy Hair
Tired of waking up with major bed head? Switching to a silk-based pillowcase is one of the best ways to leave crazy morning hair in the past. Silk is known to prevent hair breakage, which unfortunately often happens while we are tossing and turning. It's smooth and soft, and will not catch static or knotting. Plus, silk will also preserve moisture, which will prevent dry hair, and is much easier to cause split ends.

Who doesn’t love the holidays? Aside from being my favorite time of year it also happens to be my birthday month. Something that always puts me in a great mood is trying out new looks every year. With the changing trends and updating techniques so many people follow, recording them for YouTube has always made it easier to look back on and remember how things were done. Learning new ways to apply, utilize, and experimenting with new products has always been a passion of mine. I love testing out new ideas as well. Creating this look was probably one of the many I did this year. It reminded me of the holidays when I was a kid. As a teenager I never really did makeup on myself as much as I wish I did. I was always on Youtube looking at the gurus at that time to get inspiration for doing my own makeup. I joined Youtube in April of 2007, and I think about it. Now I wish I would have done way more creating as of then. Where would I be now? It’s never too late to get started. The beauty industry is still booming!! As well as it's only growing larger by the changing of the trends, and audiences likes, and dislikes. Maybe, just maybe, this coming year will be my year! Let’s do it, let’s get the ball rolling and growing like a snowball. Everything starts from somewhere right?! Yup, I thought so!!

Everyone has dealt with puffy under eyes the morning after receiving zero sleep. But there are products to prevent this, even if you sleep a total of seven hours in one week. We have to admit that a lot of the best eye creams for under eye bags can be pricey, but this is due to the incredible formula and ingredients (plus, the name helps).
Olivia AmberPublished 6 years ago in BlushThe Daily Struggle of Curly Hair
A lot of people in all ages of life love curly hair. Not that I blame them. Hair that is curly is beyond beautiful. Short curls, big bouncy curls. Curls that are so natural they put salon made curls to shame. But for those who have the natural curly hair knows the awful truth about curly hair. The curls? They usually have a mind of their own and their worst enemy is a brush.
InkGalaxies~Published 6 years ago in BlushBest Of Beauty 2017
2017 was the year of lip gloss fidget spinners, magnetic eyelashes, and carbonated bubble masks. Products that seemed weird upon first glance, but ones we didn't know we needed. We also saw indie beauty brands such as Glossier and Milk Makeup make their way onto the beauty scene and become instant hits with beginners and beauty gurus alike.
Julia BensonPublished 6 years ago in Blush5 Cosmetic Procedures That Can Boost Your Sex Appeal
As a rule of thumb, let me say that the most important thing when it comes to one's persona lies in being comfortable in your own skin. Whether that means staying "all-natural" until the end of your days or indulging in the occasional cosmetic touch-up is ultimately up to you and you alone. But as far as I'm concerned, a body is a malleable thing.
Andrea DawsonPublished 6 years ago in BlushSkincare Must-Haves
Skincare never used to be my forte. I know makeup and I know makeup very well. Put me into a Sephora, tell me you need some makeup and I will know exactly what to do and what to buy. But skincare? No thanks, not a fan. I honestly did not even know what type of skin I had until the beginning of this year when I got treated to a facial. Because of this, my new year's resolution was to try harder to take care of my skin, not just wipe off my makeup with a wipe and call it a night. I knew I could do better and was determined, I will admit, creating a strict skincare routine is most definitely not easy. I failed more often times than not, but I enjoyed testing and trying various products and seeing how they made my skin appear!
Katie CurtPublished 6 years ago in BlushWhat's the Deal With the Kylie Cosmetics Brush Set?
Earlier this month, Kylie Jenner announced she would be releasing her first brush set. Not even moments after, the internet began to bash her over the price point: $360. She hasn't been able to make an appearance in public (only further feeding the pregnancy rumors), but she still managed to stir up some drama!
