Guess who's back, back again, Beauty Flawed is back. Tell a friend.

I'm not even slightly embarrassed that the title of this post clearly shows my age and I hope that song is stuck in your heads for the rest of the day. You're welcome.

Onto the topic at hand though, I'm back! Every year when my domain renewal comes up I think about coming back and then I think about how over saturated the beauty world is. This year was a little different because in addition to those thoughts, I asked myself what is missing from current reviews that I would like to see? For me I enjoy to the point reviews with ingredient listings. So many times I see "reviews" on products someone has used a total of one time. That to me isn't a review that's a first impression. Those have their place but when its toted as a full review I expect a decent amount of testing to have gone into it. Going forward that's what I plan on doing, posting quality reviews without all the chit chat.

My product reviews will have a TLDR table with a rating and some overall info about the product. Other information I'll include will be is the product cruelty free, would I repurchase it, whats the shelf life, pigmentation, and how long did it last. Along with that for those of you that want more info there will be what I liked about it, what I didn't like about it and a final thoughts section.

I will still post swatches of products but the review will come after I've had time to really test it. I'll post a link to the review on any swatch posts when it's up. I'm also thinking about doing value breakdowns for my Sephora Play! boxes.

Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you all in the comments!
