    A Look Back at 2018

    December 31, 2018 / No Comments

    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

    December 13, 2018 / No Comments

    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

    November 9, 2018 / No Comments

    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

    October 14, 2018 / No Comments

    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…

    2017 Year in Review & Favorites

    January 5, 2018 / No Comments

    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…

    October 2017 Favorites

    November 2, 2017 / No Comments

    I feel like as we approach the end of the year time is going by faster and faster! This month has been another whirlwind and I can’t believe how quickly it went by. As evidenced by the fact that I only wrote SIX blog posts this month, October has been a very busy time for us! Here are some things that I’ve been enjoying this past month:   Beauty Bakerie Lip Whips Okay seriously, I know I just wrote an entire post basically raving about these but I am seriously obsessed. Since I wrote that post I’ve bought 3 more…

    September 2017 Favorites

    September 30, 2017 / No Comments

    I feel like I say this every month, but I literally cannot believe we are already at the end of September. It has been a CRAZY month (I wrote about why in my last post) and before I even knew it we’re sitting here looking at October. Because of all the craziness this month I didn’t have time to focus on a lot of other stuff, but here are a few things that made me happy this month: Australian Survivor This week I wrote about the return of US Survivor, but in the time between seasons I’ve started watching the…

    What’s In My Travel Makeup Bag

    August 15, 2017 / No Comments

    A few weeks ago you may recall my post about what I packed in my travel toiletry bag for our Pittsburgh trip last month. Today I’m bringing you my second travel-themed “what’s in my bag” post with everything that I keep in my travel makeup bag!! This is JUST the makeup that I brought with me for traveling – all of my skin care, makeup wipes, and other liquid stuff like that was in my toiletry bag 🙂 First I’ll start with the bag itself. This is the Sephora “Vacationer” travel makeup bag: I actually first saw this recommended in…

    Analysis of a Beauty Box: Target

    August 13, 2017 / No Comments

    After getting a bunch of really kind and supportive responses for my last Beauty Box Analysis post, I’m super excited to write a second one!! This time I’m going to be covering the Target Beauty Box 🙂 First off, of course, if you haven’t already checked out my Target Beauty Box reviews, you can do so here! In my Sephora post, I had been subscribed to the box for a year, so I had 12 boxes’ worth of products to analyze and compare. I only started getting Target boxes in October of 2016 (and missed a month back in February…

    Battle of the Beauty Blenders

    August 9, 2017 / 6 Comments

    Today’s post is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time! I’ve always been curious about comparing different products that are similar in style or function. Makeup sponges a la the Beauty Blender are definitely one of those things!! There’s so much hype around the different sponges and whether they’re “worth it” and now that I own….several….of these sponges, I felt like it was time to officially compare them all. In total, I currently own 16 different makeup sponges: Beauty Blender Original Beauty Blender Pro Beauty Blender Nude EcoTools Perfecting Blender Duo Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge Real Techniques…
