This is less a Science Sunday and more a Self Care Sunday post, but I had an experience this week that made me want to talk about this concept. Bear with me if this is a little bit of a rambling post.
Loving Yourself vs Tolerating Yourself
Sephora Spring Sale Wishlist
Hey everyone! It’s that time of year again! It’s almost time for the Sephora VIB Spring Sale! If you’ve never shopped this sale before, it’s a sale for VIB and up. Historically it’s been 15% off of everything and has happened around the first week in April! I decided that I would do a wishlist post to maybe inspire those of you who are looking to try new things for a good deal!
Please keep in mind that I’m not going to buy all of this! In fact, I’ll probably only get 2-3 of these products! But it’s fun to dream and I love browsing Sephora’s website, so I’ve added a few super wishlisty items that I probably won’t purchase for a while! I hope you like this fun little post!
To Peel or Not to Peel?
I know we’ve all seen the videos floating around. You know, the ones where folks have applied a thick layer of some black goop to their face and are now bravely facing the camera for the removal process. Here’s just the most recent video making the rounds on Facebook, but if you search “peel off mask removal” on YouTube you’ll get thousands of hits.
And we’ve all watched a few of these videos. We watch their winces and screams, laugh at the situation they’ve put themselves in, and then secretly wonder if they’re just being a big baby and if maybe we should buy or make a mask too, just to try it. But should you really? Is it safe to peel these monstrosities off of your face? Let’s take a look at the science behind these masks and see if they’re worth the pain!

Avoiding Photo Flashback
Hey everyone! I know this post is a week later than I had planned, but I had company so I didn’t have a whole lot of time to blog recently! Today, as promised, I’m going to talk about the dreaded photo flashback and how to avoid it!
Laura Mercier Loose Powder: Is It Worth It?
Hey everyone! Today I wanted to talk about a big-ticket item that a lot of beauty gurus rely on as a staple product in their collection. It feels like I can’t go on YouTube without someone mentioning the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Powder ($38). During the Sephora VIB Sale last November I picked up a jar of this powder along with the Laura Mercier Velour Puff ($15). After trying it for several months I think I’m finally ready to give my verdict on this product.
Setting vs Fixing Sprays
If you follow any makeup gurus, whether in blog form or video form, you’ve probably heard them rave about one setting spray or another. But what is a setting spray? Also, what the heck is a fixing spray? Is there a difference? Let’s take a look at the science behind these very different makeup items!
Review: Wet N Wild Liquid Catsuit
Hey everyone! It’s been a minute since my last post! A lot has been going on in my world and I fell out of my blogging habits. But I’m back now and I’m hoping to pick right back up with my twice weekly posts! Today I’m doing a review of the new Wet N Wild Liquid Catsuit Lipsticks!
Glossier: Product Reviews
If you’ve been part of the internet beauty world, you’ve probably heard of the brand Glossier. The first time I heard about it was on one of emilynoel83’s favorite videos. I’ve admired the products from afar for a long time, and on cyber Monday I took advantage of their 20% off deal and picked up a few products! This is my first experience with this brand, so keep reading if you’re curious!
Anastasia Moonchild Glow Kit: Review
If there’s one thing my friends know about me it’s that I love the moon. If there’s another thing people know it’s that I love makeup. So when I found out Anastasia had come out with a funky highlight palette called the Moonchild Glow Kit I knew I had to have it. But I also love a good deal, so I held out until cyber Monday to pick it up. Now that I’ve got it in my hands, I can review it for all of you!
