Are They a Dupe or Dud // Lorac VS Physicians Formula Liquid Eyeliners // From My VanityI’ve been a BIG fan of the LORAC liner ever since it was sent to me, which is obvious since I’ve repurchased it twice since then. You can read my original review for this liner HERE, but for those of you who have, you know I love it and have been wanting to find a cheaper dupe for this LORAC line. Ready to see if I did?

BoxyCharm’s August Unboxing / 2015

12 Comments

BoxyCharm has to be my favorite subscription box out there. While it’s a bit more money than the popular Birchbox or Ipsy, I love the fact that you get all full-size products in each box. And even if the product I received isn’t something I would use, because they’re full size products, they make great gifts!

I thought it would be fun to participate in this week’s roundup of some great beauty-related posts. Do you see any gals you already follow?

  • Grow It Girl: Let’s Get Glossy! Don’t you hate lip glosses that leave you with a tacky feeling. I found the perfect gloss without any tackiness
