Today I come to you with another of my “what’s in my bag” -style posts! Previously I’ve covered what’s in my work bag and what’s in my parks bag. In this one I’m sharing what I have in my toiletries bag for traveling. This post is mostly inspired by the fact that Chris and I are heading to Pittsburgh this weekend to visit family and I had to pack this bag anyway, but also partially because my new toiletry bag is the cutest thing EVER: It looks like the Disney Magical Express!!!!!!!! How cute is this!!!!! I saw this at…

How I Clean My Makeup Brushes
A few months ago I had a post about how to deep clean your beauty blenders, and I got a lot of nice feedback and messages saying it was really helpful! I decided to do a follow up post about how I wash my actual makeup brushes. After all, they need cleaning too! Washing makeup brushes is honestly a bit of a chore, but it is an absolutely necessary one. I used to wash them less frequently than I do now (we’re talking YEARS ago when I first got into makeup) but I noticed that I got more breakouts on…

Review: The Beauty Spatula
Continuing my trend of doing review posts for individual items, today I have a review of another recent addition to my collection. In this post I’ll be reviewing the Beauty Spatula: The full name is the “Every Drop Beauty Spatula”, named as such because it’s designed to help you get every drop out of your makeup! The idea is that you can use it to scoop out makeup product at the end of the bottle that’s difficult to get out. I’ve been meaning to buy this or something like it for a while and I finally took the plunge and…

Remember when I used to make Top 5 posts? Haha…I feel like I meant to write more of these but I always forget that it’s a thing. Regardless, today I have a top 5 topic that’s sure to be a fun one. Today I’ll be writing about my favorite episodes of Black Mirror. I recently rewatched a few of my favorite episodes and it made me want to write about them….so here we are! If you’ve never watched the show, Black Mirror is an anthology series in which each episode has new actors, new characters, and a new setting. Each episode is usually…

All About Pinecone Research
Today I bring you yet another resource in the “get free stuff” quest, but this one is a little different from my last posts about Influenster and BzzAgent – this one rewards you with MONEY! Today we’re talking about Pinecone Research. (Edit from the future: you can click here to see all my similar posts about saving money and getting free stuff!) Overview This one’s very different than other sites I’ve written about, but I love it in a different way! Pinecone Research is solely for up and coming products.

My Everyday Makeup – Summer 2017
Today I bring to you a post that I’ve been meaning to do forever and finally decided to sit down and take the photos for it! This is my everyday makeup look that I wear pretty much every day during the summer. Since I like to try out new things frequently, it’s hard to really call anything my “daily” look – but these are my current go-to things for summer! I get asked about my makeup at work literally every day by both coworkers and guests, and how I get it to stay locked in during hot and sweaty days –…

Analysis of a Beauty Box: Sephora Play
This is a post I’ve wanted to write for a long time and I’m so excited to finally do it! I mentioned in my most recent (and final, for now) review post of Sephora Play that I had unsubscribed from the box for the time being. I cancelled my subscription because I felt like I was getting more samples than I could use in a reasonable amount of time, and I could have been using my money toward things I actually wanted instead. I have also mentioned in the past that I love spreadsheets and keep them for pretty much…

Empties April-June 2017
It’s that time again for another empties post! If you remember in my last one, I decided to start doing them every few months instead of monthly because…empties posts are kind of boring haha. But I still wanted to write something so here we are! This time I’m writing about the products I used up from April to June. Like last time, there’s a lot here so I won’t do full reviews, but I’ll use a <3 to designate things I loved/would buy again(/have bought again) and a 🙁 to denote things I hated! Stay tuned for some stats about my…
