During my time as a beauty-obsessed person, I’ve become more and more interested in skin care and creating a nice “base” for my makeup. In the past I had basically no skin care routine and now I cringe thinking back on those days! Nowadays my skin has a few issues every now and then but it’s pretty smooth sailing overall, and I definitely attribute that at least in part to having a good routine. This post is something I almost hesitate to write, because I don’t want it to come across like I think I’m some skin care expert… let me…

Friday Favorites #14 – 4/28
Welcome to this week’s Friday Favorites! I had a great birthday week full of lots of celebrating 🙂 Like I mentioned briefly in last week’s favorites post, I’ve actually decided to start doing Favorites monthly rather than weekly. This is because I feel like I find myself more and more often scrambling to put things into the posts…a lot of things make me happy every week, but it’s more often than not the same things over and over haha. So this will be the last “Friday” Favorites but I’ll still do one at the end of each month with all my…

Sephora Play! April 2017
Welcome to another beauty box review! Today we are talking about this month’s Sephora Play! Sephora Play! Cost: $10 Frequency: Monthly, renews automatically Type of products: 5 deluxe samples of skincare and makeup (more makeup than any other box I subscribe to!) and one fragrance sample Reviews from my previous boxes here! This month’s theme for the box was “step it up!” As usual I do not really know what the theme means but at least they didn’t do another glowy/all-highlighter box haha. This month’s bag reminds me a bit of the Wendy’s girl: The resemblance is there. But the bag also…

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…

Sephora Play! March 2017
It feels like I JUST wrote February’s Sephora Play post but here we are already with March! I clearly measure a year in terms of monthly beauty boxes, and this year is just flying by. To be honest I have a hunch that someone at Sephora HQ made a goof and shipped out this month’s boxes too early because I received it a full week earlier than I normally do, buuuuut I’m not gonna complain ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So here we have the March edition of my Sephora box. I’m sure most people reading know what this is by now, but Sephora Play is…

Sephora Play! February 2017
I know this post is coming to you super late but my review of February’s Sephora Play! box is here finally! I actually got this box over a week ago and have just been so busy I didn’t get a chance to do anything with it yet, but here we are at last. After last month’s was a bit of a dud, I’m happy to say that I’m WAY more excited about the contents of this box. As I say in every post: Sephora Play! is a beauty box for $10 a month for 6 products. You can see some…

Sephora Play! January 2017
My first Sephora Play! box of the year arrived last week! Last month’s was a huge hit for me so I was really looking forward to what this one has in store. If you aren’t familiar with Sephora Play, be sure to check out some of my previous posts for an idea of what comes in these boxes. It’s a subscription box that’s $10 a month, and in the past few months they’ve really been focusing on switching things up with different variations. Each month it comes with 5 beauty products and a perfume. There’s usually a good variety of…

What I Got for Christmas
So in the “final” 12 Days of Kaelamas post I said I didn’t wanna write about what I got for Christmas…buuuuut I changed my mind haha. I received so many amazing gifts this year and I really wanted to do them justice, share them all and write about everything. So this is, I guess, the epilogue to the 12 Days of Kaelamas series – everything I got for Christmas! I divided it into a few categories to break it up a bit. My friends and family seriously spoiled me this year, I am so grateful and happy with all of…
