Within the past 2 months, the deadly mystery illness thought to have originated in China, finally received an official name — Covid-19. The rapidly spreading illness has essentially halted businesses, shut down schools, and most manufacturing in the country. Citizens have self-quarantined or been forced into quarantine in an attempt to contain the virus. Since the onset, other countries have taken similar precautions.
So far in the United States, the spread of the virus is mild, but what would happen in the event of cluster outbreaks, especially in major cities? Supermarkets could become overrun, supplies dramatically limited, and panic could…
Let’s face it, most cosmetic brands found in stores today are manufactured in Chinese factories. Popular companies like Urban Decay, Becca, BH Cosmetics, Morphe, and NYX (just to name a few) are all outsourced there. If you’d like to know all the brands made in China, click here. The list grows daily, but I try my best to keep it updated.
So, besides the obvious reasons to steer clear of beauty products made in China — unsafe working environment, unfair wages, and 20 hour work days, what can be found lurking INSIDE the makeup? You might be surprised…
- Packaging that…
After seeing the DDK Lash Extension Mascara all over the internet, particularly social media, I had to give these a proper review. The price range for the DDK Lash Extensions are all over the place, depending on where you buy. They average between a $3 — $5 with an expected delivery date around 30–60 days. On the opposite end of the spectrum (which is where I fall in) $15 — $20 with 2-day Prime Shipping.
The packaging is very typical for a fiber mascara system — apart from the usual misspellings and grammatical errors from Chinese translations. The mascara, or…

You really don’t need a lot of makeup for this…
If you’re not familiar with EmilyNoel83 on YouTube, you really should be. As a longtime member of YouTube (I’m talking 10–11 year, OG status) she is one of the only people that has remained true to herself, humble, and truly grateful for the process. Unlike many beauty influencers today who have a 500 square foot designer handbag closet, Emily focuses her attention around family and makeup reviews. Frankly, she is a breath of fresh air.
When you think of buying fashionable boots for Fall and Winter, do you think of shopping at Walmart? Well folks, you really should because they are KILLING it with the shoes this season and nothing was over $30! I picked up 5 pairs of boots (really 4 and 1/2 — you’ll see) on a random grocery haul to Walmart the other day and was blown away with the style and selection they had to offer. Seriously, Target would be jelly. So let’s get into the review shall we?!
Without going too in-depth right from the get-go, let’s get the elephant out of the room. The shadows look like nipples. They are nipples disguised as donuts…and if you didn’t see if before, you will be forever haunted by it. Areola of all shades.
Now that we got that out of the way, let’s bring our minds back to makeup. I’ve had my eyes on this palette for awhile. It was sold out of my local Ulta (I can see why) so I had to order it online. When I first took it out of the package, my first thought…

As I sit here eating 2 packets of Raisin & Spice Instant Oatmeal and pondering over the right words to begin this review, it hit me. The realization that I have a buying problem. This may or may not work in my favor when it comes to beauty "blogging." By the way, who else hates that word? Beauty Blogging. Blogging. Blog. Ugh. From now on, I'm calling it creating professional creative-content in the cosmetic field. That would actually work, if I only I wasn't writing this eating oatmeal wearing men's Walmart sweatpants and 4th day unwashed hair. Beauty Blogging it…
When I originally bought this stupid contraption, I had no idea what I would be getting myself into. It was a product that was too good to be true. The viral video, which depicted a pretty woman with the go-to “surprised hand-to-mouth” expression, got me intrigued immediately. It drew me in like a moth to flame and I had to see if this was the real-deal. I’m talking out the Magic Eyeshadow Stamp.
I should have known better. The website I purchased from (I do not recommend visiting btw) looked legit and once I read up the FAQ page and…
