    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…

    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…

    What’s In My Travel Makeup Bag

    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…

    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 –…

    June 2017 Favorites

    Welcome to this month’s Favorites post! June felt like it was both ridiculously long and flew by super quickly. I can’t believe we are already halfway through 2017. Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium Straightening Iron When my pals were here last month, one of the little things I loved was getting ready together. Ana had brought her straightener with her and I was curious to see how it worked on me, a person with hair that cannot hold a style to save my life. But I was really surprised when it worked super well on me! I loved the look so…

    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…

    Friday Favorites #9 – 3/17

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day and Happy Friday once again! I only have a few things to share this week because it’s been even more busy than usual (somehow!?) so I’ll jump right in to those: Blogilates [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUVvec3z-mo] This is a relatively new thing for me, but I think it’s improving my lifestyle a lot and I really wanted to share! Blogilates is a youtube channel for pilates and yoga exercise routines. I’ve been trying to make myself live a healthier lifestyle by eating better and now this is step 2. I’ve been trying to do a workout 3 or…
