Things That Make You Go “Om!” – Is Peachy Queen’s New Align Chakras Palette Rainbow Bliss?
It’s a wild world out there Champagne Dreamers, and sometimes you just need to breathe in, center yourself, and get away from it all. Now, even if makeup isn’t your typical way of getting things in line, Peachy Queen is hoping that they can bring some Namaste to your day with the Align Chakras palette! Peachy Queen has always been a little bit unpredictable in terms of what stays in stock, what comes back, and what disappears forever, but as of this writing the palette is still available on their website. It’s a 16-pan...

Buckle up kiddos, because today’s gallery is definitely NSFW! Well, sort of. I mean, if the nipples are fake is it really that bad? Instagram certainly thinks so, but I think you’ll love this fun little gallery of shots that I did with Miranda playing around with a silicone breast plate that I bought on Ebay. It’s supposed to be “plus size” but it’s still a little narrow across the front, so I’m not sure it’s ever going to work for a show, but it looks kinda fun in pictures! Also,...
read morePropa Beauty Brings The Heat & Helps Everyone Out There Find Their Perfect Red!
I did a review a while back about Propa Beauty and their nude lipsticks. They were a new Black-Owned Makeup Brand (BOMB) on the scene, and they were blowing up in the micro-influencer community that I follow on YouTube. I bought three of the shades, and I mentioned in that review that I would be interested in trying more from the brand if they did more with color – I’m not much of a nude lipstick kinda gal! Well, Propa Beauty was all about making me put my money where my mouth is, because they came out with a stunning collection...
read moreColourPop Attempts To Correct Past Criticism By Joining The Make It Black Project
ColourPop has been criticized in the past for its lack of diversity in the influencers that it works with as well as in the range of shades offered in their products. Now, for a brand that pushes out as much product as they do, it’s not realistic to expect every product they make to fit every skin tone out there, but it’s also realistic to expect that some of those products would be targeted toward consumers with deeper skintones. This hasn’t always been the case, but ColourPop is trying to turn that around with their...

Alright Champagne Dreamers, we took a little break from the declutter series (mainly because I, uh, well, I hadn’t actually DONE the other half of the declutter yet!) but now we’re back with the final four installments! We’re kicking off the second half with one of my favorite “soothe shopping” purchases: lip products! There is just something comforting about picking up a new lipstick…and it looks like I’ve done plenty of comforting! Don’t forget to head over to my YouTube channel to see what...

Hello Champagne Dreamers – we are back with another gallery in my recent shoot with Miranda Roen of Roen Photography! We shot on UND’s campus, behind the music building at this gorgeous fountain. There is something about this that just looks like something you would see on some old Hollywood estate tucked up in the hills – I’m living for it! I got to live out my Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous fantasy, and I hope you love it as much as I do! There are still two more galleries to come from this session – and...
read moreAll The Green Makeup: Dipping My Toes In The Clionadh Multichromes With My Favorite Color!
Clionadh Cosmetics is one of the 8 brands that I put on my “must try” list for 21, but it was also the one that I had the most trepidation about. Not only are their shipping times legendarily long, but their multichrome shadow collections are also notoriously expensive: a single shade can cost you as much as $25 for a single pan! But I had put it on the list, and I was determined to follow through. My spring bonus came in at work, so I decided to poke around their site and see if there was anything in stock that caught my eye. ...
read moreLiving That Malibu Dream Life: Barbie X ColourPop Collection
Clearly I would not be the big queer monster that I am if it were not for the utter glam and fabulousness of Barbie, especially the iconic Barbies that came out during my childhood like Peaches ‘N Cream Barbie and Crystal Barbie. There have been a lot of Barbie collections to come out in the last couple of years, but the recent collab between Barbie and ColourPop, to me, is the most accurate and best represents the sort of color and aesthetic that I associate with the most famous fashion doll in the world. ColourPop is starting to inch...
read moreYou Can Always Go Downtown: Photo Set By Roen Photography, May 2021
“When you’re alone and life is making you lonely, you can always go downtown…” I’ve always loved “Downtown” by Petula Clark, and so I put together this fun little gallery of images that we shot around my office in downtown Grand Forks. Downtowns used to always be the heart and center of the city, and there is still a lot of movement and changes (as you see with the construction right outside my office door!) but they are also fading and being abandoned as people to continue to move out to suburbs or...
read moreAll That Glitters: Trying Out Lemonhead LA’s Full Range Of Glitter Highlights
I’ve been in love with Lemonhead LA glitter gels for a while now, but I saw that they recently added a new multichrome glitter highlight shade. The highlight shades from the brand are different in that they have a clear base and the glitters are more of a white/clear glitter with iridescent flash, so they can be more easily used in place of a traditional highlighter. They have 6 shades in their highlight formula and when I went to check out the newest shade, I saw that they had a bundle deal to get all 6 and, well, who am I to turn...
