Review: Moda Prismatic Oval Brushes

One thing you will learn pretty soon after meeting me is that I love mermaids. In fact, I’m positive that I secretly am one. Besides being a mermaid, another fact…

    Test Tube Beauty- March 2019

    March 24, 2019 /

    I think its time that I admit it, my name is Sammie and I have a serious affinity for subscription boxes. Honestly, I just love that fact that I can pay a set amount of money and receive a box full of good products that are worth wayyyy more than I actually paid. I guess I just really love a good deal. If you’ve been here a while, you know that I love Boxycharm and I was a long time subscriber. Since unsubscribing, I have been looking for something new. That is when I came across Test Tube by New Beauty. Whereas Boxycharm is heavy on makeup, Test Tube is…

    Storybook Cosmetics x Mean Girls Palette

    February 19, 2019 /

    “One time I saw Cady Heron wearing army pants and flip flops. So I bought army pants and flip flops.” If you don’t know this quote off the bat, then I’m sorry but you can’t sit with us. Just kidding… kinda ???? I don’t know about you, but Mean Girls was one of my favorite movies growing up. Recently, I even got my husband to watch it for the first time and he loved it! Its basically a classic at this point. When Storybook Cosmetics first released the idea for this plaette, I knew that I needed it in my collection. So here it is, the Mean Girls Burn Book…

    Pür Cosmetics x The Grinch

    December 24, 2018 /

    One of my all time favorite Christmas movies is The Grinch. I even visited the set while at Universal Studios California. Dr. Seuss had such an imagination and his books always inspire me. When Pür Cosmetics announced they were going to collaborate with The Grinch movie, I was so excited! Then people started posting images of The Grinch Good Enough To Steal Face Palette I was shocked, the packaging was stunning! Included in this palette are 2 glitter, 2 matte, and 6 shimmer shadows as well as a blush and a highlighter. This palette is so unique, not just because of the packaging, but because of the variety of formulas included.…

    Dose of Colors: Snow Angels

    December 12, 2018 /

    I have always been a colorful person, as in I once painted my entire room lime green and bright blue. While I may not exactly go for that color scheme now, I still love playing with color in my daily life. Some of my favorite colors are gem tones, especially blues and purples. When I first saw the Dose of Colors Snow Angels palette, I knew I had to have it in my collection. The Snow Angels palette features 5 matte shades with a mix of pink, purple and blue. There is also a mirror and brush included. The palette is a special holiday release for 2018 and is listed…

Initially, I had all these happy and light hearted Initially, I had all these happy and light hearted posts ready to go. Then the world stopped. It felt weird to post about makeup when everything seemed to be falling apart. These last 2.5 weeks have felt like everything was moving in slow motion; it’s felt more like 3 months. I’ve felt lost, anxious, and afraid. However, I, like many others, are trying their best to not only make ourselves feel happy but to put as much light into the world as we can. So I’ll be trying to go back and post all of these images I already had planned for my feed. Just know, we are all in this together and things will get better. Stay smart and love the ones around you 💕
Trend alert: colored mascara. I’ve been saying t Trend alert: colored mascara. I’ve been saying this since last spring, but colored mascara is where it’s at. Seriously, the quickest and easiest way to add a pop of color to any look. Try it on the bottom lash line and let me know what you think 😘⠀
