    Boxycharm: July 2018

    July 24, 2018 /

    There have been a ton of changes in my life over the last month, some good and some not so great. Either way, its been a little rough. However, one thing I can always look forward to each month is my Boxycharm. This month’s theme was summer road trip and all of the products were curated around that. This month’s box contained five products with multiple possible variations. If you are unfamiliar with Boxycharm, it is a monthly makeup subscription box. In my opinion, it is the best out there. Each month you will receive 5-6 full sized makeup and/or skin care products all for only $21. Even better? They…

    Ulta 21 Days of Beauty

    March 12, 2018 /

    Ulta has been growing so much lately! I am in awe of all of the new brands they are carrying; like Storybook Cosmetics, Dose of Colors and Flower Beauty. Now that is it officially spring, it means that it is time for little spring cleaning and Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty. This event will go live starting March 18 and continue through April 7. When it is live, you can find the online calendar here. Each day of Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty will offer amazing deals (up to 50% off!), both online and in store. Each deal will be good for only one day, so I thought I would…

    Tarte Holiday 2018

    December 21, 2017 /

    I’ve said it before and I will say it again, I love Tarte Cosmetics. I can’t think of a product from them that I have tried that I didn’t like. I especially love their blushes and the Hybrid Gel Foundation. One thing that I enjoy about the holidays are all the cosmetic releases. So many brands release value packs for discount rates, it makes it hard to decide what to pick up. Tarte is one of those brands, but they go above and beyond. They have so many great releases and exclusives for every beauty supplier. What really caught my eye were the Lip Luxuries Deluxe Lip Sculptor Set, Limited Edition…

    It seems like makeup keeps getting more and more expensive. Especially when you are a fanatic, it is too easy to fall into the trap that price indicates quality. Next thing you know, you are justifying buying a $60 foundation. Or is that just me? Luckily, I have found a brand that is not only great quality but budget friendly as well! Thanks to Octoly, I had to opportunity to try some products for free in exchange for my review. I have to say, I was not sure what to expect at first. Luckily, I was beyond impressed. When it comes to mascara, I look for something that will define…

    Review: Tarte Double Duty Beauty

    November 9, 2017 /

    I am always on the hunt for something new and interesting. Makeup is supposed to be fun and exciting. Even in the midst of looking for the next new thing, I have my go-to products that I always come back to. I recently realized that a lot of these products just happen to be from the Tarte Double Duty Beauty line. My love affair first started with the Hybrid Gel Foundation. This foundation was a God send after my skin dried out from taking isotretinoin. Since then, I have tried a lot of other products and Tarte has become one of my favorite brands. One of the most popular items…

    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…

    Review: Ulta Beauty Cosmetics

    March 15, 2017 /

    What’s better than buying new makeup products? Getting them for free, of course. While doing some returns at Ulta last weekend, I decided to pick up a couple of the Ulta Beauty Cosmetics eye liners. Imagine my surprise when I get to the register and find out I get a free gift with purchase. I ended up with a little makeup bag full of Ulta Beauty Cosmetics. So, I figured why not do a review of the brand? I decided to start with the eyes. This is always a good idea when testing new shadows in case there is a lot of fallout. That way you will not ruin your…
