    A Look Back at 2018

    Happy New Year’s Eve!! I can’t believe we’re already done with 2018. This year has flown by but also somehow felt SUPER long. I wanted to reflect on the year as well as what’s to come in 2019. I decided to make a vlog about some of the major events that happened this year and how they’ve impacted my life, but I also wanted to put together a more typical “favorites”-style post with all the best things from 2018. So here that is!

    Fab Fit Fun Subscription Box Review – Winter 2018

    If you’ve been following my blog for a while now, you may recall that I really like subscription boxes. It’s fun to get a little surprise each month and try a few different things. However, around a year ago I decided to take a break and stop getting them for a while. I was getting things I didn’t want or need that just ended up getting donated, and I didn’t have the extra money lying around to get them every month. Well, due to a combination of window shopping a little too hard and a lot of post-election stress, last…

    Real Techniques Brushes Review

    Since beauty and makeup used to be pretty much the only things I wrote about on this blog, I always enjoy going back to my roots to write about those things again. Today I wanna share with you my thoughts on some new Real Techniques I received for free recently courtesy of Influenster! I’ve written about Influenster several times before – they’re basically a word of mouth marketing company that sends out free products in exchange for reviews. My post here explains it in more detail. I get things from them pretty frequently but I don’t always write about them…

    Colourpop Disney Designer Collection – Review

    It feels like ages since I’ve written a makeup post – but that’s about to change! Recently I got a few items from the Colourpop Disney Designer collection and I am so excited to tell you all about them. Colourpop is actually a brand I have never been super into – I don’t dislike them or anything, I just only own one lip product from them and have never really felt super drawn to buy a bunch of things. They’re mostly known for being an inexpensive, mostly online brand. Before this Disney collection, I had actually never placed an order…

    Stila Glitter & Glow Shadows Review & Rundown

    Time for something totally different today…! I haven’t done a makeup post in a LONG time so this will be fun! This post wasn’t originally in the cards but I was inspired to write it after the response I got to this photo I posted on my instagram story the other day: And I got a LOT of questions and responses about it on instagram and twitter! These are my favorite Stila Glitter & Glow liquid eyeshadows – it seemed like everyone was really interested in them so I decided to write a full review post 🙂 You may recognize…

    DIY Bridesmaid Emergency Kits

    If you’ve done any wedding planning or research, I’m sure one of the things you’ve come across has been some kind of list or “emergency kit” of items the bridesmaids & bride should have on the wedding day. I know I saw them all over Pinterest in my planning. There’s a lot of cute ones you can buy – this one has been a popular choice to pop up in my searches a lot: Or, if you’re like me and remember that you wanted to make bags for your bridesmaids like a week before the wedding……you can make your own! I…

    My Wedding Makeup

    Here we are with another wedding post! I know you’re all excited. As I’m sure you’ve noticed if you’ve been reading my blog for more than a few minutes, I really love makeup. I love doing my makeup, buying new makeup, even just going into Sephora is a stress relief for me. So it should come as no surprise that I did my own makeup for my wedding! However, you may be surprised to know that I was actually really hesitant to do it myself! Idk, I was just worried that I wouldn’t be able to get it perfect, or…

    2017 Year in Review & Favorites

    Before I jump into this post – check out my new blog theme!! I decided the start of the new year was as good of an excuse as any to spruce things up around here. The sizing and details on some stuff is still a little wonky while I work everything out but go ahead and have a look around – I hope you like it! I figured with the new year it was time for me to write a “end of 2017” post or something, but I wasn’t sure how I wanted to do it. I want to include…

    Sigma Kabuki Brush Set Review

    I briefly mentioned this in my October favorites post but I figured it was worth doing a deep dive into one of my newest favs from last month! I recently picked up a beautiful set of Sigma kabuki face brushes, and today I’m telling you all about them 🙂 I got my set from Hautelook (click here to read about that if you don’t what it is) on an amazing sale a couple months ago. The set of 5 brushes normally costs $90 but I got it for $45 aka half price!!!! Amazing!!! The brushes included in this set are as…
