    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 Clay Play Palette

    January 5, 2018 /

    When traveling, I am pretty good at keeping my clothing, shoes and accessories to a minimum. Where my real problem is when I go to pack up my makeup. I start off thinking that I will not need much and end up with two makeup bags, a brush bag and a few random items shoved in my purse. Because of that, I am always looking for the perfect all-in-one product to help cut down on the number of items I “need” to bring with me. That’s what I was looking for when I picked up the Tarte Clay Play palette. “Define & contour your features with this universal ‘power sculpting’…

    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…

    Sephora Favorites: Give Me More Lip

    December 6, 2017 /

    While eyeshadow is probably my favorite beauty product, lipstick is a close second. I just love how easy it is to switch up your look with just using a different shade. The only probably, I have a tendency to buy a lot of similar shades. Even more, buying tons of different shades can get expensive quick. That is why I love the Sephora Favorites kits. They are a great way to try a bunch of products for a fraction of the cost. I picked up the Give Me More Lip set up during the VIB sale so it was 20% off making it only about $56. It contains 5 full…

    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…

    My Skin Diary

    This last month has been great! At least it has when its come to my skin. I haven’t noticed any symptoms with taking isotretinoin except for my skin is getting increasingly more dry. However, it isn’t too bad and I think that has to do with my use of oils in my skin care routine. I’ll discuss that more below, but first here is my morning and evening skin care products in order.

    May has been a month full of packing, studying and a lot of change. I finally finished up my finals and had a short break from classes. All of my free time went to organizing everything in my apartment and at my parents house in order to prepare for our move. It’s been a little crazy to say the least! Over the course of the last month, I have definitely found some new products to love. So here they are, my favorites for May: In May, I discovered the Tarte Empowered Hybrid Gel Foundation. And let me tell you, this stuff has been amazing for my dry skin! I’ve been…

    Review: Tarte Hybrid Gel Foundation 

    May 24, 2017 /

    I had never really tried any products from Tarte, other than their blushes, until I tried a discovery set from Sephora. I instantly fell in love with all of the products and was itching to try more. Next thing I know, they were offering a promotion. For $63 you got a makeup bag, foundation, blush, eye liner, mascara, lip product and a brush. All of the products are full sized, shipping was about $5 dollars and I found a $10 dollar off coupon. How could I pass up the offer? Honestly, what I was most intrigued about was the Empowered Hybrid Gel Foundation ($39). Tarte’s websites offers 17 shades and claims…

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 💕
