    Boxycharm: January 2018

    January 31, 2018 /

    Its the last day of January, so what better way to finish the first month of 2018 than with a Boxycharm review! I seriously can’t believe that January is already over. It seems like it was just yesterday I was finishing my finals and getting ready for Christmas and now I’m back in school getting ready to take some midterms. Though it was a little late this month, my Boxycharm arrived at the perfect time. I was definitely in need of a little boost to get me through the month. If you aren’t familiar with Boxycharm, it is a monthly makeup subscription box. For just $21 a month you receive…

    Natasha Denona Holiday 2018: Aeris

    December 19, 2017 /

    I feel like Natasha Denona eye shadow palettes are the Porsche of the beauty world. They are stunning, high quality and way beyond most peoples’ price range. When the Lila Pallet was first released, I wanted it so bad. Luckily, I found the the Huda Beauty Desert Dusk palette satisfied my need for purple shades. However, since the first press photo of the Aeris pallet, I couldn’t get it out of my head. I have to be honest, it was mostly the blue shade. Luckily, the Sephora VIB sale came around and the palette was in stock at my local store. This is a five pan palette and is said…

    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…

    Review: KVD Pastel Goth Palette

    March 22, 2017 /

    Guys, it finally happened. A few days ago, I got the notification I’d been waiting for: the KVD Pastel Goth Palette was in stock again. Thank God for smartphones and the Sephora app. Sometimes, I can’t remember my life without my phone by my side. Being thankful for the notification, I quickly purchased the palette before it disappeared again.  A couple weeks ago I reviewed the Lorac Pro I Love Brunch Palette. I was so excited for the pastel colors but I found them to be poorly pigmented and it took far too much effort to get each shade to work. So, unfortunately, I decided to return it. However, I…

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 😘⠀

I’m a mascara girl myself, I’m too afraid of have someone that close to my eyes to get extensions. And falsies? I end up looking like I have four sets of lashes 🤣 I have to say, the @lancomeofficial Monsieur Big mascara give me the most beautiful full lashes .
