Trendy on the Cheap | Wet n Wild Colour Icon Eyeshadow Palettes
A post from the 'forgotten files' today. Well, kind of. I've had this post half started since last August when I picked up these Wet n Wild palettes on a whim. I was feeling the need for something peachy when I saw the Not a Basic Peach palette and took it as a good enough reason to grab Rosé in the Air (a very decent ABH Modern Renaissance dupe.) Of course, with the semi-recent problems Wet n Wild found themselves in regarding their cruelty-free status (read up here) I decided maybe to hold off posting these for just a while longer. While I don't exclusively use cruelty-free products, the way Wet n Wild handled the issue (and that it was happening in the first place) has certainly made me weary of supporting the brand in the future.

Lip Lovin' | Revlon Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish
Look at me, staying on schedule getting it done. I mean, it helps that I finally got a new computer. Who knew you could get so much done when your computer doesn't overheat and shut down every ten minutes? It's a major game changer. Although, I took on some transcription work, so after spending the bulk of my day typing, whipping out blog posts isn't always my idea of a good time. Granted, the new Revlon Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish can encourage me to spend a few more minutes behind the screen.

Roll With It | Avon Pure Roll-On Essential Oils
Aside from the peppermint oil I use on my trash to keep raccoons at bay (which does work wonders), I haven't really dabbled in essential oils. I've wanted to, but I don't know, just never took the time to get overly acquainted with all of the options and learning what is most beneficial for various concerns and aliments. If you're in the same boat as me, you're likely going to be into the new addition to Avon's essential oil family.

Summer Survival Supplies | 2019 Edition
I can't say that I've created many of my own traditions, but it seems that a Summer Survival Supplies post is a yearly must on IKATW. Okay, I missed last year, but since 2015 we've been chatting up a heap of summer products almost annually. Every year I end up with summery products that just don't find their way into other posts. No problem, into the SSS pile it goes. There is a problem though, I usually end up with a few too many products and then the post takes forever to write. I thought I kept this year's pile smaller, but now I'm not so sure. Oh well, it's faster to read it (and really, that's all you care about anyway) so let's get to it. You know what to do...

And Then There Was Two... | Vichy Mineral 89 Eyes
Was two or where two... Regardless as to where you fall on the grammatical front, I'm sure you can agree that sequels can be questionable. Okay, more often than not, they probably should have just never happened, but sometimes... Well, sometimes they're everything you didn't even know you were missing. Vichy Mineral 89 Eyes is just that.

Pro Fun, Anti Sun | Lightweight SPF Times Three
Every year as spring begins to settle in, a new season beings... SPF season. Not to be braggadocios, but I have had no need to buy sunscreen in years. A bevvy of options ends up on my desk and I'm left feeling like I should probably venture outside more. Should is the operative word, I won't though because I kind of hate the sun, or being in it at any rate. If you're like me and are a professional sun avoider, you don't really have a need for body formulas, but the face is another story. I like to use the summer months to trial out a bunch of face sunscreens so I have the perfect option to see me through for the rest of the year. Daily SPF is always necessary. I have three current faves, so let's get to them, shall we?

Sweet & Sour | Midas Cosmetics Lemonade Palette
My mom has never been a prolific baker, but when she does grace us with a little something from the oven, you know it is going to be amazing. One of her go-to creations is the all too often overlooked loaf cake. Her lemon loaf has always been my favourite with a simple, but tangy-sweet glaze on top... SO good! It takes the humble lemon to a whole other level. Lemon loaf ramble aside, we're talking everything yellow today with the gorgeous Midas Cosmetics Lemonade Palette.

Speedy Skincare | Petitfée Black Pearl & Gold Hydrogel Eye Patches

: : : self-purchased : : :
When it comes to masks I am all inclusive. If it sits on my face and does something, I'm down. That said, I'm especially fond of adding hydrating masks into my everyday pre-makeup routine. I'm dry and can take allll the hydration I can get. I mean, it's not unusual to find me doing my hair with a thick layer of moisturizer on under my eyes and particularly dry areas. It helps, and sometimes you don't have fancy eye patches on hand, okay? See where this is going?...
