    Time for something totally different today…! I haven’t done a makeup post in a LONG time so this will be fun!

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…

    Away Luggage Bigger Carry On Review

    It’s been almost two weeks since we got back from our amazing honeymoon and I’ll probably never stop talking about how amazing it was!! We had so much fun and so many fabulous new experiences – it was the perfect way to celebrate our wedding and spend time together. In the midst of our honeymoon planning, we realized that it would probably be a good idea for us to get some new luggage. Up to this point we had kind of just used whatever we had around for travel – I have a Vera Bradley duffel bag I like, and…

    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…

    Beauty Bakerie Lip Whip Review

    Today I have for you another makeup review that I’ve been meaning to write for some time…but never got around to doing haha. In this post I’ll be reviewing some liquid lipsticks by the brand Beauty Bakerie: As you probably know, our wedding is coming up (very quickly, might I add) and I plan on doing my own makeup. I’ve been practicing with a bunch of different products, and one of the things I’ve been looking for is the perfect lip color. I wanted to find something super long lasting for the big day, that will make it through eating, drinking,…

    Fenty Beauty Match Stix Review

    If you’re into makeup like I am, you probably are aware of the major release that happened last month in the form of Fenty Beauty: It’s taken over the front page of Sephora! Fenty Beauty is the makeup brand created by Rihanna, and the makeup world has been all abuzz about it since the line was announced. Most people were super excited that the brand was debuting with an unheard of 40 foundation shades – 3/4 of which are sold out at Sephora right now: I (like everyone else) was intrigued to see what the line offered. Welllll the screenshot above speaks…

    Copper Creek Villas Staycation

    Last month Chris and I had a little staycation at one of our favorite Disney resorts – the Wilderness Lodge!! The lodge just recently unveiled their new DVC section, the Copper Creek Villas. Disney recently offered a really nice discounted rate for cast members to stay there, so we decided to take advantage of it for a fun few days off! We stayed there for 2 nights and had a blast. I meant to write about it sooner in fact but time got the best of me as we can see haha So this was essentially a “just for fun”…

    Battle of the Beauty Blenders

    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…
