    Target Beauty Boxes April 2017

    Welcome to another beauty box review!! Today we are looking at this month’s Target Beauty Boxes. Just like they did back in January, Target released two different beauty boxes for April. But this time, it was a bit different – this month there was a regular beauty box and a “naturals” box! The Naturals box contains (obviously) products from more natural brands with less harsh ingredients. Each box this month cost $7 and both contained a pretty good variety of products. Target Beauty Box Cost: $5-10 Frequency: Monthly, but it’s not a typical subscription box – you have to remember to order…

    Friday Favorites #14 – 4/21

    Wow, as I wrote the date in the title of this post I literally had to pause and make sure it was correct. I cannot BELIEVE it is already April 21…which means it’s also almost my birthday!! I don’t have any super fun plans on my actual birthday this year because I have to work, but we have some other things planned for our next day off to celebrate. And last year I was in Disneyland on my birthday, so…there’s no way I’m gonna top that so might as well not bother trying haha Also, a very happy birthday to…

    Walmart Beauty Box Spring 2017

    This is going to be the first of many beauty box posts in the next week or so, because they all arrived within 2 days of each other this month…so get ready! I decided to start with the Walmart Beauty Box, because (spoiler alert)….it’s the most disappointing one haha but let me not get ahead of myself – here’s the Walmart Beauty Box for spring: Walmart Beauty Box Cost: $5 – the box’s premise is that you pay the $5 for shipping, and the “samples” are free Frequency: Quarterly subscription Type of products: Deluxe samples mostly, sometimes foil samples. Mostly body and shower…

    Friday Favorites #13 – 4/14

    I cannot believe we’re already halfway through April. My birthday is only TEN DAYS away!!! This week has been busy again – here are my favorite things from it: The New Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qsg0fku78o] I actually just watched this THIS MORNING but it was highly relevant to my life and I had to include it in this post. First of all, it’s very convenient that new Star Wars movies are consistently coming out on or around Chris and my anniversary of December 16th (though I guess we won’t be celebrating that one after our wedding!) Second of…

    Top 5: Frivolous Products on My Sephora Wishlist

    I think someone’s Sephora wishlist says a lot about them as a person. Mine is mostly things that are really expensive and I keep eyeing but can’t bring myself to spend the money – stuff I don’t need, but would love to have. Since April is upon us now, it’s officially my birthday month, and I thought I’d give everyone some ideas! Just kidding please don’t take that seriously haha. It’s always fun to daydream about going on a shopping spree in your favorite store… here’s what I’d buy at Sephora if I had unlimited money!! Tarte Tarteist Pro Amazonian Clay Palette…

    Empties December 2016-March 2017

    If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you might remember when I did Empties posts every month for all the products I’d finished that month. I stopped doing them at the start of this year because I figured it’s a bit uninteresting to read about what someone else has used up…but I’ve always said that I want to write this blog as much for myself as I do for others. And I like to look back and see what I’ve used up and remember what did and didn’t work! So since I’ve been holding on to the past few months’ worth…

    Friday Favorites #11 – 3/31

    Welcome to this week’s Friday Favorites <3 It’s been a busy week because I’ve been at Disney University training for Guest Relations, but I still have a few favorites! Sephora Collection Pro Airbrush Concealer Brush #57 I’m in the process of buying all new makeup brushes, which is a bit of an undertaking. I basically bought a cheap set of a bunch of different ones, so I can figure out which ones I like, and now I’m slowly going through and buying nice high end versions of the ones I use a lot. I recently got this Sephora concealer brush and…

    How to Deep Clean a Beauty Blender

    Like any makeup addict, I swear by and adore my Beauty Blender. Also like any makeup addict, I HATE cleaning my makeup brushes and the same goes for my makeup sponges. It’s especially important to wash out sponges regularly because they can grow bacteria so easily, but sometimes it seems like nothing can get them truly clean again. Today I have a super easy and relatively quick method to get your beauty blenders sparkling clean again!! I was taught this method by my friend Ana, who also turned me into a beauty blender fan to begin with, so she’s something of…

    Friday Favorites #10 – 3/24

    Happy Friday and welcome to this week’s Friday favorites! I am finding as I write these posts that (at least to me) it is kind of making it obvious how boring my life is haha because I kind of have to reach sometimes to find 4-6 things that I liked that week. But it’s making me appreciate the little things I guess, so…¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Clothes Shopping…on Amazon I don’t know why I don’t buy more of my clothes on Amazon, because I buy literally everything else there. Amazon Prime is a gift from God. Recently I was looking for some cheaper options…

    Lancôme Influenster Box Review

    I mentioned in my Friday Favorites last week that I was sent a few products for free from the social marketing website Influenster. I’m working on a post about Influenster and how it works, but the basic idea is they send out items or groups of items for free to users, in exchange for honest reviews and word of mouth marketing. Since this box is similar to the other beauty boxes I always write about, I wanted to write a dedicated post reviewing the stuff I got! This is the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra VoxBox: This is definitely the highest value VoxBox (Influenster’s term for…
