    Top 7 Exfoliators

    September 29, 2017 /

    So the last few months, I haven’t done any updates. Good news is I am finally seeing some progress. So, at the bottom, I will have some 5 month progress pics to share. Until then I thought I would talk all about my favorite exfoliators.   Overall, my time on isotretinoin hasn’t been too bad. I haven’t had any adverse effects. The only noticeable thing has been the dry skin. Mostly, I can handle it. Where it becomes problematic is when I want to put on makeup. If you try to put foundation over all that dry skin, well it just doesn’t look cute. Korres Wild Rose Exfoliating Cleanser  ($28) is a…

    NYX In Your Element Palettes

    September 26, 2017 /

    When I first saw the images for the NYX In You Element Palettes, I was instantly drawn to both Earth and Metal. Something about them just spoke to me and they were so different from the reds, oranges and yellows that everyone seems to be coming out with. The best part,l is NYX is a drugstore brand so I figured that I would be able to pick up both for somewhere between $30 and $40 USD. Sadly, that wasn’t the case. On launch day, I rushed to my computer and anxiously waited for the NYX Cosmetics website to load. When it did, I was shocked. They were changing $30 PER…

    Clariol Professional Flare Me

    September 21, 2017 /

    I’ve always loved to experiment with my hair. I remember back when I was only 12 years old and had hair that fell all that way down my back. I decided that it was so long, why not donate it? My mom agreed and was so happy that she allowed me to add temporary purple streaks. That’s when my love for hair color began. Now that I work in a professional environment, it’s been a really long time since I played with fun colors. When I received this VoxBox from Influenster, I was so excited! In the box was everything you could need to color you hair: bleach, color, developer,…

    Boxycharm: September 2017

    September 19, 2017 /

    I have to say, this month I am even more impressed by Boxycharm than usual. First, even with Hurricane Irma, my box managed to get to me by the 15th. That alone seems to be a miracle. Second, not only did they include a full sized eyeshadow palette but there was a bonus sixth item. So far this month, I am a really happy girl. To see all what we got along with swatches and spoilers for next month, just keep on reading. I am always switching between a brush and a sponge to apply my foundation. Sometimes, I even like to go in with a brush first and a…

    Ulta Beauty Cosmetics Part 2

    September 14, 2017 /

    I love shopping at Ulta. They are continuously adding more brands to their shelves and their rewards system is the best. I mean who doesn’t want to earn money off of their next purchase just for buying things you were going to get anyway? What a lot of people do not realize is that Ulta has their own in house brand. It ranges from makeup and skincare to hair and body products. I recently received a bunch of these products as a gift with purchase. I figured, why not make a part two to my Ulta Beauty review. You can check out part one here. With my recent Ulta Beauty…

    Ciate Glitter Flip Liquid Lipsticks

    August 24, 2017 /

    It may only be August, but I already have the holidays on my mind. I am that crazy person who has their apartment decorated from Halloween all the way through New Years. Its crazy, I am already seeing Halloween and Christmas decorations in the stores. So when I first heard about the new Ciate Glitter Flip Liquid Lipsticks, I was intrigued. I mean who doesn’t want to rock a quick, easy, long lasting glitter lip for the holidays? Well, they have launched and they are even better than I expected. Happy #hallowthanksmas.

    Wet n Wild: Midnight Mermaid

    August 22, 2017 /

    I have been obsessed with mermaids ever since I was a little girl. I can remember spending summers in our pool with my cousin playing mermaid and trying to swim like we had tails. When I first heard that Wet n Wild was releasing a mermaid collection, I knew I had to have it. The collection has 12 items total: 4 MegaLast Metallic Liquid Catsuit Lipsticks, 4 Color Icon Metallic Liquid Eyeshadows, 3 MegaLiner Metallic Liners, and one Mermaid Highlighting Bar. The collection is limited edition and can be purchased online at Wet n Wild and Ulta as well as instore at CVS and Walgreens. The first products are the metallic liquid lipsticks. Wet…
