If you’ve been reading my blog for a while (or honestly not that long at all) you may remember my semi-recent posts about how I clean my beauty blenders and makeup brushes. Well, after a visit to a certain not-so-scary Halloween party, I discovered another beauty item that may need cleaning: false lashes! I don’t wear lashes all that often, mostly for special days or just when I feel like it. You obviously don’t have to clean your lashes if you plan on tossing them after one use, but I like to get multiple wears out of each pair of…

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…

What’s in My Travel Toiletry Bag
Today I come to you with another of my “what’s in my bag” -style posts! Previously I’ve covered what’s in my work bag and what’s in my parks bag. In this one I’m sharing what I have in my toiletries bag for traveling. This post is mostly inspired by the fact that Chris and I are heading to Pittsburgh this weekend to visit family and I had to pack this bag anyway, but also partially because my new toiletry bag is the cutest thing EVER: It looks like the Disney Magical Express!!!!!!!! How cute is this!!!!! I saw this at…

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 –…

Empties April-June 2017
It’s that time again for another empties post! If you remember in my last one, I decided to start doing them every few months instead of monthly because…empties posts are kind of boring haha. But I still wanted to write something so here we are! This time I’m writing about the products I used up from April to June. Like last time, there’s a lot here so I won’t do full reviews, but I’ll use a <3 to designate things I loved/would buy again(/have bought again) and a 🙁 to denote things I hated! Stay tuned for some stats about my…

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…
