The most amazing eyebrow pencil:   Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz This brow pencil is thin and allows you to make realistic hair like strokes for fuller brows! I use the shade "dark brown." The only complaint I have about this brow pencil is that I feel like it runs out somewhat quickly. I probably go through about one pencil every two months. The most amazing eyeshadow palette:   Morphe 35O Palette (only $23!) This palette is unreal. Don't let the price fool you because the quality is stellar. The palette comes with 35 pigmented shadows that blend super well. The colors are range from neutral browns and beiges to oranges. The most amazing mascara: Too Faced Better Than Sex ($23) This mascara is the only "high end" mascara that I will buy. I used to think that buying relatively expensive mascara was pointless because drugstore mascara can be just as good if not better. Then I found Too Faced Better Than Sex and I'm never going back. It's r...

Best Foundation Ever! The other day I was going through my bank statements trying to figure out where all of my nonexistent money goes. I saw that I spent $70 on two products at Ulta. That seems like a lot for two things. But, there are some products (things that I can't live without) that you simply must splurge on. I've accepted this, but it might take others a little more time. The products are: Too Faced: Born This Way Foundation ; A smooth and pigmented liquid foundation, I'm the shade "Sand."

It is just the right amount of pigmentation while making it appear like you have naturally flawless skin. It Cosmetics: Bye Bye Under Eye concealer In the shade "Medium." I can't say enough good things about this concealer. I have super olive-colored skin, with super green undertones. My bare under eyes have a ...

Hi, I'm Ember. I was raised in the mountains of Vermont by my amazing mother. I always knew there was more to the world than cows, dirt roads, and really good cheese. I moved to lovely Southern California for college and never looked back. I was always much too glamorous for the small towns of Vermont. I have been attempting winged eyeliner and fake lashes since the age of 13. So you could say that I've gotten pretty good. Keeping up with the beauty industry is one of my few passions and I'd like to share some of my knowledge with you!
