Review: Lorac I Love Brunch Palette
I love spring. The weather is perfect and not too hot and trust me, I live in Arizona so I know what hot is. Along with perfect weather, everything seems to come alive again. Flowers bloom and the world is full of color. So, when I first laid eyes on the new Lorac Pro Pallete: I Love Brunch, I knew I had to have it. I was hypnotized by the pastels and started dreaming of all the watercolor inspired looks I could create. So I ordered it that night. The packaging is beautiful, a white holographic base with beautiful gold and pink writing. Also included in the box are a…

DIY Honey Rose Face Mask
I love face masks. I have at least three different ones one had at all time. Only problem is, that they can get pretty pricey at $30-$40 per container. Recently, I have been playing around with making my own beauty products. I have been doing this because it is inexpensive, I can customize each product for my needs, and it is fun! Today, I’m sharing a simple three ingredient mask. All you will need is honey, Greek yogurt and Rose Hip Seed Oil. First of all, here is why I chose each ingredient: Honey is antibacterial and works great for acne prone skin. It is also moisturizing and soothing on the…

Review: L’Oréal Colorista Burgundy Semipermanent Hair Dye
A couple of weeks ago I I was browsing through my local Drugstore when a bright colored stand caught my eye. It was for the new L’Oréal Colorista($9.99) hair dye. Now, I have naturally medium brown hair. So, usually I don’t pay much attention to hair dye because if I want to achieve a fun, bright color I have to bleach my hair. However, this dye claimed that it would color my brown hair without bleach. I was sold. After debating between teal and burgundy, I decided to go with burgundy because I was scared my hair would pull too green if I used the teal and I didn’t want…

I’m the first to admit it: I love pampering myself. I love having girl’s nights and spa days. Spending the time to do nails and face masks is just so relaxing. Unfortunately, I don’t seem to find the time to do all that between work and school. But, something I can find time for is a long, hot bath. When I take a bath, I love using bath bombs. They smell so good and are so much fun. However, they can get very expensive when you are paying $5 or more a piece. So, I tested out a bunch of recipes so I could find out the perfect homemade bath…

MakeUp Revolution: Golden Bar Palette Review
I hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! I know for me, the only thing that is better than getting chocolate, is getting new makeup. Recently, I picked up the Makeup Revolution Golden Bar Palette ($15) from Ulta and I was so excited! The colors looks right up my alley and the box states that it was a mix of matte and shimmer shadows, which is ideal for me for traveling. To start, that packaging is adorable! Not only is it a sturdy plastic, but it looks like a chocolate bar that has been dipped in gold! So stunning! I also really appreciate the fact that finger prints don’t show…

DIY Monday: Rose Highlighter
Ever since I saw the promo shots of the new Lancôme Blush La Rose, I knew I had to have it. But after seeing the $60 price tag, I became dismayed. Even more so after I saw the reviews that started popping up all over YouTube. That got me to thinking. Wouldn’t it be fairly simple to do this with any powder product or pigment? So, I made a plan of action and headed to my local dollar store. What you will need: Paper towels Fake roses A box to put the finished product in A plastic container with a lid An empty bowl Rubbing Alcohol (between 70-100% alcohol for…

L’Oréal Infallible Total Cover Foundation Review
When I first heard about this product, I was ecstatic! I mean a drugstore foundation that is matte, long wearing and inexpensive? What more could I ask for? I really enjoy the infallible matte and porless foundation so I had very high hopes. I decided to first try applying this foundation with a beauty blender. It seemed to go on easy and blend with no problems. The only thing was that after one layer, I could still see my freckles and my acne spots where still very apparent. After going in with a second layer, it seemed to help. My major complaint is that is seemed to cling to dry…
