Spring Makeup For Date Night

Hi everyone!

Welcome back to my blog! I recently got a bunch of new makeup products that I'm dying to share with you. Here is my everyday spring makeup routine:



Face It

In order to first prep the skin I use DAILY PROTECTION Broad spectrum SPF 30 Moisturizing Face Lotion by Eucerin. I simply use my fingers to evenly distribute the product. I then follow up with a primer- especially now that it's getting warmer outside.

Following that, I go in with a green concealer to cancel out any redness. I like COVER STICK™ CORRECTOR CONCEALER IN GREEN CORRECTS REDNESS by Maybelline.  I then go in with Face Defender BB Cream Foundation by Mally Beauty. The reasons why I love this product are endless; it leaves you with a healthy looking complexion and lasts all day. If I have any redness still showing in I go with in my go-to concealer from Neutrogena. I've been using this product for the past three years: SkinClearing Blemish Concealer by Neutrogena. After letting that sit for a few minutes I apply a powder to set it: DREAM WONDER™ POWDER IN CLASSIC IVORY by Maybelline.

After my base makeup is complete I like to go in with a natural looking blush. I apply this to the apples of my cheeks. Then, I go in with high beam liquid highlighter by Benefit Cosmetics on the bridge of my nose and cheek bones. This adds a glowing effect to my features.

On some occasions, I'll go in with a bit of bronzer.


Glam Brows

If you're an active glasses wearer your brows cannot be forgotten. I like to first comb them out. Following that I go in with a light brow powder. Mine is from Ulta Cosmetics. Then, I use a spoolie to ensure there are no harsh lines. Unfortunately I could not find a link to the products on Ulta's website. I got them both in one of their exclusive makeup bags.


Sparkly Lids

I first start off with using a primer. My personal favorite is SHADOW INSURANCE PRIMER by Too Faced. Then I start going in with all sorts of stuff. For a base color I use Evercolor Shadow Stick in Pink Champagne by Mally Beauty. I absolutely love this color; it's gorgeous. Then, I apply a dark brown shade to deepen my crease. Following that, I use a black shadow and a winged eyeliner brush to line my upper and lower lashes.

Here's the simple stuff: I curl my lashes with my favorite Primark eyelash curler. With that being said, I like to change up my mascara every now and then. Lately I've been using HUGE™ Extreme Lash Mascara by Stila Cosmetics. My lashes look super flirty afterwards.


Lippies

Hi Hi HI After using a lip balm to create a smooth base for my lips, I apply a pink gloss to add a bit of shine. Lately, I've been using a Lip Glaze in Apricot by Stila Cosmetics.


Ready, Set, Go!

Lastly, I seal the look with a setting-spray. My personal favorite All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray by Urban Decay.

I absolutely love this look! It's something with a little more glam for a Saturday night out.

How To Love Your Glasses

Welcome back to my blog!

This week I'm talking about an insecurity I've fought with for quite some time. I go in phases where I hate my glasses and then I love them. For the past few weeks I've been on a high with my glasses.


First, rid every horrible thought you've had about your glasses.

I'll save you the boring medical facts about my eyesight. What you need to know is that I'm almost blind without them. Wearing glasses isn't a sign of disability or handicap. It took me awhile to digest it, but I completely debunked that idea.


Glasses make the woman.

My dad always tells me this and I don't thank him enough for that. This really boosts my confidence when wearing glasses. Both of my grandmothers wear glasses; they look absolutely stunning in them.   Even the coolest celebs wear them: Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Aniston, Lucy Hale, Selena Gomez, etc.


Glasses have this crazy association with sophistication.

Since way back when, the "nerds" always wore glasses in TV shows and movies. There's nothing wrong with being smart. According to several online magazines, smart is the new sexy.


Glasses are a fashion accessory.

Ever since I was fifteen I put a lot of time and careful consideration into picking out frames. Because I wear them for a year, I like to splurge a little. Burberry, Calvin Klein, and Michael Kors have an amazing collection to choose from.


Glasses make makeup fun.

A few weeks ago, I went to Ulta Beauty and got my makeup done by Mally's makeup crew from the UK. The artist did a thick liner on my upper lash line. Instant transformation!

As for making it fun, it also makes it easy: say goodbye to dark circles and a slimmer nose! No need for contouring!


Glasses add a touch of personality.

Honestly, who would I be if I ditched my glasses? I've been wearing them since I was three years old! They add something very special to my personality.


In the end, I really do love my glasses. My eyesight isn't an insecurity like it was in middle school. Glasses have so many positives. I don't know why I didn't see them before.

Do you wear glasses? If so, what's your favorite thing about them? Comment below!

Spring Fashion Wishlist

Hi everyone!

Welcome back to my blog! Last week I posted my Spring Beauty Wishlist. It drove a lot of traffic into my blog, so I decided to now do a fashion organized one. 

Be sure to let me know in the comments what's on the top of your spring wishlist!!

Spring Fashion WL


1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8



Flat Thong Sandals - Miller by Tory Burch

A good quality pair of sandals is definitely on my checklist to purchase before summer. Currently, I own a black pair of Michael Kors flip flops; they've survived everything. A brown pair of high quality  sandals are definitely a must!


Whale Logo Baseball Cap by Vineyard Vines

This baseball cap is super cute! Unfortunately, I don't own a single baseball cap. My main reason for wanting it is because it can easily transform a boring, casual outfit to something cute and preppy. 


Simply Southern Collection Weekender Bag in Mint MU838-MINT-CORAL

Who doesn't love a large tote, especially now that the beach season is approaching? 

I found this while browsing on Polyvore. It looks large enough for weekends at the beach, or even a carry on for long airplane rides.


Faux Pearl Stud Earrings by Kate Spade New York

These earrings are adorable! They're perfect for daytime walks or evening dinners. The versatility of these earrings is exactly what I'm looking for.


Mikayla Scallop Hem V-Neck Shift Dress by Lilly Pulitzer

Lilly Pulitzer is one of my favorite brands if not my favorite. I am definitely in love with the preppy look: collared shirts, flats, Alex and Ani bangles, etc. 

Lilly Pulitzer has a balance between classy and cute. 

I would wear this out to a family barbecue or an outdoor wedding. It can be dressed up or down depending upon the occasion. 


Short Curpo Jumpsuit by Zara

Black is such a universal color. I love wearing my black one piece bathing suit with black shades and sandals. It looks so chic. A black romper paired with those accessories is to die for!


PRPCLASSOY-SPINK by Simply Southern

When I went down to Virginia last summer I discovered the Simply Southern collection. All of their shirts are really cute- plus, they're owned by every preppy blogger I know.

This shirt says "Preppy & Classy," does it get much cuter than that? Idts.


Seafolly Boyle Maillot from Anthropologie

I am all about being conservative. I love high-waisted and one piece suits for beach/pool days. I can definitely see myself wearing it with some white framed sunnies like the model on the website.


That concludes my Spring Fashion Wishlist. I hope you enjoyed it.

Spring Beauty Wishlist

Hi everyone!

Welcome to my blog! I am so excited spring is finally in the air. I could live with this 70 degree whether all year round. Because I'm looking to change up my makeup routine for something fresher and lighter, I thought I'd share my wishlist with you all.

Spring Beauty Wishlist

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8


Mally Beauty Face Defender BB Cream, Light 1.8 oz (53 ml)

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to attend an event at Ulta Beauty. It was so cool! I got to try a bunch of the latest released products from Mally's cosmetic line. This BB cream is perfect for spring- it's lightweight with a great amount of coverage. 


Mally Evercolor Shadow Stick

Here, another product I instantly fell in love with. My eyes popped. Application has never been so easy with this product. I love that I can throw it in my purse for quick touch-ups too! How convenient?!


MakeUp Eraser

Awhile back I saw this at Sephora. It seems like such a great idea: it's an instant reusable makeup remover. All you have to do is add water. This definitely a product I want to invest in.  Say hello to an extra $30 next month! 


Butter LONDON Nail Lacquer, Kip 0.4 oz (12 ml)

I adore butter London nail lacquers! They're incredible. I'm so impressed with how they glide on and their longevity. I really want to get my hands on some pastel colors for spring.


Stila Lip Glaze

I currently own one Stila lip glaze and to be perfectly honest, I don't think I want to purchase any other lip product. This one has officially stole my heart. I definitely plan on purchasing a few more with my Ulta gift card.


Bobbi Brown Pink Brightening Brick

While browsing the Sephora website I came across this product. All shades needed in one palette; what more could you ask for? These shades are absolutely gorgeous. I love wearing something with a glow, especially for the spring and summer seasons.


Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Curling Mascara

I admit: I'm a mascara junkie. I love all types of mascaras from high-end to the drugstore, I'm your girl. This mascara is getting quite the hype, it's time I find out what for!


Benefit Cosmetics Sun Beam Highlighter Bronzer

Who doesn't love bronzed, glowing skin during the spring and summer months? I have three others from this collection, one of them being High-Beam. I am in love! I saw an instant transformation in the appearance of my skin. It was glowing! I'm sure Sun Beam is just as satisfying.


That concludes my spring beauty wishlist. What's at the top of your spring beauty wishlist? Comment below!

What's In My Purse?

Hi everyone,

Welcome back to my blog! This week I'm sharing the ins and outs of my purse. Last week, I decided I wanted to use a bag appropriate for spring. Maybe it would become warmer faster- I don't know.




Wallet

I typically like to carry larger wallets around, simply because they make it easy to be organized. In order to make more room in my purse, I am using a small ID wallet from Vera Bradley. In it includes: money, rewards cards, gift cards, and my privilege card/school ID.


Lip Balm

Because there is no room for a makeup bag, I only bring the essentials. Yes, my Jack Black lip balm is an essential. It keeps my list shiny and soft. (And of course, other lip products dive in every now and then too. Sometimes I have four lip products in my purse. Don't even touch my backpack. There's at least eight in there that I know of.)


Blotting Paper

I have blotting paper in every backpack/purse I own. It's crucial for my oily skin. I typically use it before/after lunch depending on the time.


Feminine Products

No shame. Keeping a pad/tampon in my purse is an essential. I like to keep liners in there for emergencies. You never know!


Bobby Pins/Hairties

They always go missing. I don't know why! I am constantly throwing them in and out of this purse.


iPhone 6

In today's world, how can you leave the house without your cell? I am always on Instagram and Pinterest.


Headphones

A must. There are no ifs and/or buts about it. I personally use the Spotify app. Lately I've been listening to A Rocket to The Moon, Gwen Stefani, Kendrick Lamar, Mike Posner, The 1975, and Timeflies. And many, many more. I'm a music addict.


Shades

I like to think of myself as a classic girl. I wear the most classic shades of all: Original Wayfarers by Ray-Ban. I am in love with them. (Black shades, black one piece, black flip flops, and red lips. Hello, sunny Cali!)


Keys

For Valentine's Day, my parents bought me a Lilly Pulitzer key chain. It's super duper cute! I'm in love!


Notepad/Pen

I love this notepad- perfect for spring! I only use it when I absolutely need it. I mean, our phones can do anything and everything.


Mints

Sometimes they're a need- especially after a trip to the Olive Garden. I love their garlic bread. Mmm!


Hopefully that wasn't too boring. Was it? Let me know what your purse essentials are. Comment below!

Lilly Pulitzer Dresses Spring 2016

Hello everyone,

Welcome back to my blog! This week I am sharing some of the highlighted pieces of the Lilly Pulitzer 2016 collection- dresses! The Lilly patterns you love and adore are back and better than ever!


1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12

I am absolutely in love with these dresses. I can't wait to get my hands on one or two before the season ends. My personal favorite from the collection is the Callisto High Collar Shift Dress (9). Navy is the perfect color for the water as far as I'm concerned. A cruise to the Bahamas is calling my name! 

My second favorite from the collection is the Sofia Lace Shift Dress (8). I think it's super classy! I can definitely see myself wearing this to a fancy dinner in Mid-July. 

You can check out other new launches on the Lilly Pulitzer Website: http://www.lillypulitzer.com. I can't wait to get my hands on some of their latest pieces!

What's your favorite dress from the collection? Comment below! Thanks for reading!

Beauty Essential: Green Concealer

Hi everyone,

Recently I discovered "green concealer". I've always been quite hesitant about purchasing it. Does it really work? The answer is yes! I was amazed!




Packaging: 2/5

I admit- it's not cute, like at all; but that doesn't mean it's not convenient. It's small enough to throw in my backpack if I'm in a rush.


Application: 5/5

It is super easy to apply. It looks like a green lipstick- apply the tip of the wedge to the blemish. Then, blend with your ring finger. It's practically gone. (Though, I do recommend applying concealer and/or foundation over it to ensure it is even.)


Durability: 4/5

Personally, I find that it doesn't last all day, but it does last a decent amount of time. Please note that I have oily skin, therefore makeup tends to slide off of my face with ease. If you are someone with normal skin, it might last all day for you.


Finish: 5/5

Prepare for TMI: Right before I get my period, I break out really bad. I felt super insecure. I tried covering it up over and over again- but nothing worked. I decided to try out the green concealer. I have nothing left to lose! The green really does cancel out the red. After you apply foundation, followed by concealer it's gone. The blemish is completely unnoticeable.


Consistency: 3/5

It's nothing special.


Price: 5/5

I purchased this product for $3.00 at my local CVS. That's a steal for the wonders this product works.


Overall: 5/5

I think this product is a steal if you have a harsh breakout. It saved me completely. My confidence was instantly rebooted.


You can purchase the product by clicking here. Again, I can't say enough good things about it.

The Ultimate Guide To Spring Break 2016

Hi everyone!

Welcome to my blog! This week I am participating in the ultimate spring break link-up. It is hosted by Olivia from NC Prepsters. You can click the latter image to view all posts involved in this link-up. Enjoy!


Throw Me In Your Carry-On

Headed to the beach this spring break? I've got you covered!


1 | 2 | 3 | 4 & 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10


Most of these you probably have thought of on your own: sunnies, flip-flops, a towel. etc. Though, I would highly suggest bringing a romper. A romper is super easy to throw on over bathing suits... yet they're easy to dress up for a night out with your girls! 


Let's Jam



Spotify is an absolute must- whether it be spring break or not. There has never been an easier way to listen to all of your favorite tunes in one place.

This playlist has some of the latest tunes from Charlie Puth, to Flo Rida, to Mike Posner, and more! I will definitely be listening to these songs all spring break! 


Bust A Move or Two

It's time to get in shape! I love exercising; I feel amazing afterwards. Here are some of my favorite exercises and tips to help you get toned.

Create a Pinterest account. I love using Pinterest for finding exercises and post-workout smoothies. You can checkout my fitness Pinterest board by clicking here. I have a bunch of fun exercises.

Create a routine and stick with it! I work out Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I typically do no more than 30 minutes. On Sunday, I typically do an hour to an hour and a half depending on what I am doing. I could be running my own workout or playing soccer.

Make a playlist! Music is everything. I love jamming to Flo Rida. His songs are definitely blood pumping!

Try a challenge. Have you ever done 50 squats everyday for 30 days? Yeah, me neither. It's a good idea though! It's a really good motivator too.


That concludes my guide for surviving spring break. If you're interested in more spring break related posts, click the visual below. It will take you to Olivia's blog where she linked up all of our posts.

The Preppy Girl's Style Guide

Hello everyone,

I hope we're all surviving this cold February. Hopefully March will be a bit warmer. This week I wanted to share my latest fashion obsessions under the prepster category.






Simply Southern

When I went to Virginia last summer, I discovered the Simply Southern collection. Love, love, love it! I wanted to purchase a shirt that said “Preppy and Classy” but they didn’t have my size. When I go to Florida this spring and/or summer I am most definitely going to pick one up. Every preppy girl has one!


Longchamp Tote

I’ve seen this purse on every social media website. It is officially at the top of my hit list. Because prepsters tend to care little bit more about brand names, this does just the trick. The purse isn’t screaming a brand, which makes it classy. I really like it! Plus, it’s big enough to hold everything I need- from lip gloss to planners to shades!


Lilly Pulitzer Planner

Lilly Pulitzer is known for their high-end preppy fashion. Lilly is definitely one of my favorite designers by far. She actually makes wearing lobsters cute! This planner belongs in your monogrammed tote. It will help you stay organized and at the top of your preppy game.


Rose Gold Watch- Or Something Like That

For my 17th birthday, my Godfather bought me a Michael Kors watch in rose gold. Absolutely stunning! It simply completes my look!


Tennis Shoes

I admit- I am in love with Keds! They’re comfortable- and Taylor Swift has her own line. (I currently own four pairs of Keds.) Iplan on purchasing a white pair in order to complete my preppy wardrobe.


Monogram

I am obsessed with my initials on "stuff". It's super cute! I have a ton of purses and backpacks with my initial or monogram on it. I don’t know one prepster who doesn’t have a monogrammed purse!


Statement Jewelry

Over sized, layered pearls are your new best friend. Pair them with something collared for a classy, yet preppy look. It’s one of my favorite ways to accessorize! (If you want to see how to complete this look in a classic manner, checkout Pinterest! They have everything!)


Dark Skinny Jeans

I definitely love dark skinny jeans. Not only are they extremely flattering, but they're versatile! Pair with a collared shirt, layered under a sweater of course and flats! Throw on a statement necklace, then you’re good to go.


That concludes my style guide for the go-getter prepster. What styles have you been rocking lately? Comment below!

Weekend Pampering Routine

Hello everyone,

Who's ready to take a break from reality and dive into some you time? This past week has been crazy- homework, extracurriculars, etc. This weekend I decided to put off my chemistry homework and spend my Sunday relaxing.




Sleep In!

I'm always waking up early to get more accomplished. I slept in until around 10:00. Once I got myself together, I made myself a cup of Lipton tea.


Tub Time!

There is nothing more relaxing than a hot bubble bath- or better year, a bath with a Lush bomb. They're amazing! I usually come out with sparkles all over me. While in the bath, I enjoy listening to peaceful music without an electronic in front of my eyes.

During this time I wash my hair, shave my legs, wash my body, etc. It's self-explanatory.


Hydrating The Body

H2O+ is one of my favorite brands when it comes to lotions. They smell amazing and they're hydrating. I also love Bath & Body Works for stronger scented lotions.


Painting Nails

There is just something about having your nails done. When they're done, I feel a lot more confident. I typically lean towards pastels around this time of year.


Wear PJs

There is nothing wrong with chilling in your PJs on a Sunday afternoon. Everyone does it. I love wearing cute night gowns while watching romantic movies. For the past few months I've been loving The Longest Ride. It's so cute!

Me Time

Before I go to bed, I like to take the time to catch up with friends and write in my journal. I've been doing a decent job keeping up with my journal this year. Lately, I've been writing more poetry, which I am so proud of! It's one of my favorite things to do: string words together into something beautiful.


That concludes my weekend pampering routine. It's very simple, yet needed. Do you take time to yourself? If so, what is a crucial part of your routine?

Get Ready With Me: Valentine's Day 2016

Hello everyone,

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you shared your love with friends and family. I know I did! The first thing I did was make myself a warm cup of tea while listening to some romantic tunes.



I won't bore you with my shower and skincare routine. Once my skin was completely prepped I jumped into hair.


Straight Hair, Don't Care



Heat protector is crucial. I use Aussie Hair Insurance Heat Protecting Shine Spray - 8.5 oz. I use about 6-10 squirts of the product all throughout my hair. To ensure it is evenly distributed I use a wide tooth comb. I then use my hairdryer to dry it completely. I don't like to use it on the highest setting because that can be damaging. I use the medium setting from a decent distance. This takes approximately 15 minutes. That's it!


Making It Up



I always start off with applying moisturizer- especially this time of year. My skin easily cracks. With that being said I use Double-Duty Face Moisturizer SPF 20 with Blue Algae Extract & Sea Parsley. Please note, this may be a men's skincare brand, but there's no reason you can't use it. Especially for the effects. I love it!

I follow up with my typical face makeup routine: green concealer, foundation, concealer, and powder. For blush, I used one of my favorites: Benetint by Benefit Cosmetics. It is very flattering on my pale face. I then applied their highlighter to the highest points of my face. It leaves a desired glowy finish to the skin.



For eyes, I decided to enhance them a bit by using the Trust In Love Giftable Set by Stila Cosmetics. I played around with different colors, creating a look that was noticeable, yet neutral. I then finished it off with the mascara that comes with it.

For lips, I applied my favorite balm and wore a non-sticky mauve gloss. (Very, very typical of me.)


V-Day Fash




I had no idea what to wear, but I knew that you couldn't go wrong with pink hearts. I paired a black and pink sweater with dark jeggings. Because it was just a casual day for me, I slipped on black UGGS and called it a day. For jewelry, I wore small black/silver earrings with silver bangles. Super simple!

This concludes my "Get Ready With Me: Valentine's Day" post. I had a wonderful Valentine's Day, spending it with beautiful people. What did you do on Valentine's Day?

Fashion Blog Post Ideas (That Never Go Out of Style!)

Hello everyone,

Shoutout to my fashion bloggers! Being a beauty, fashion, and lifestyle blogger, sometimes I find it hard to come up with content ideas- especially in the fashion department. I put together a list of fashion blog post ideas.



Hopefully you find some inspiration for your next fashion related post:

Hauls

Have you been out shopping recently? Show us what you bought! These are by far my favorite posts/videos to read/watch. (Yes, I'm nosey, but so are you!)

Style Guides

I am the opposite of an expert when it comes to rocking an edgy look. I would love to see some one's take on edgy fashion- be sure to add a link to that leather jacket you recently purchased!

Staples

Again, one of my favorite posts to read. I love when bloggers link up their favorite Urban Outfitters hoodies or Hunter boots. (Though these posts are fun to read, they definitely put a dent in my wallet!)

Style Icons

When I'm in desperate need of a fashion post, I instantly check out the latest trends and which celebs have been rocking them. In the past, I've covered Taylor Swift and Zendaya Coleman. Their styles are classy and chic. You can even recreate the look for a much, much cheaper price. That always brings in a decent amount of traffic!

General Shopping Tips

Include some budget tips for the college go-getter! Be sure to include some of your favorite coupon saving apps like Ibotta and Shopkick.

Fashion Apps

You can't go wrong with talking about your favorite apps. Everyone has a smartphone these days. If I was to do a post like this I would talk about Pick My Style and Stylebook. These apps keep me on top of my fashion game at all times.

Seasonal Trends

Not everyone has the time to go out and buy the latest issue of Vogue. Include some of the latest spring fashion trends and link up some pieces you've been eyeing. This will totes increase your traffic! (I apologize totes isn't even a thing anymore- is it?)

What I Wore

OOTDs and What I Wore posts are evergreen. People are always craving insights to other people's lives. Show what you wore to your grandmother's birthday you celebrated in New York. Don't forget to take some awesome pictures. They're always fun to look at!

Wishlist

They're really simple to make if you're in a crunch for time. Download Polyvore. You can make a wishlist in less than 30 minutes. Upload it and give some brief summaries as to why you want the product. I'm always on Polyvore making small wish lists for myself!

DIY Projects

I love, love, love making DIY shorts. A long time ago, I posted how to make your own ombre shorts. They turned out amazing! The feedback I received was incredible. You can even head to Pinterest if you're looking for inspiration.


As you can see there are so many different fashion related posts you can compose. You can even review some of your favorite brands or talk about current online sales. It's not as limited of a topic as I thought.

What are some of your favorite fashion posts to compose or read? Comment below!

Holy Grail Beauty Essentials

Hello everyone,

Welcome back to my blog! This week we're covering my holy grail beauty essentials. I couldn't avoid not share these products with you- you're going to fall in love too! I promise!




Skinclearing Blemish Concealer by Neutrogena

This is my favorite beauty product of all time. If I had to go out the door with only one product (and feel confident) this would be my makeup item of choice. Not only does it conceal my problem areas, but it helps them. The formula consists of MicroClear technology, which reduces the appearance of acne over a short period of time. Hands down, a holy grail in my book.


Amped Lashes Mascara by Ulta

This product is fairly new to me, but I still adore it. I am a glasses wearer, so my eyes tend to hide behind my frames when I don't wear any makeup. I use this mascara for everyday wear. It lengthens and separates my lashes in a matter of 30 seconds. I can't say enough good things about this product.


All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray by Urban Decay

I'm sure you've heard about this product. You probably even have this product within arms reach on your vanity. It makes your makeup last all day and all night! I love applying this product to lock in my makeup. It leaves a natural and smooth finish to my skin. Flawless!


Livingston by Zoya

Never have I ever witnessed my nail polish last longer than a week until I came in contact with this product. This product lasts a minimal of seven days. I couldn't be more impressed with a nail polish formula. My goal is to get my hands on their satin collection.


Jumping Juniper Shampoo Bar by Lush Cosmetics

I'm a female- with a changing body which means my hair can get extremely greasy every now and then. I decided to experiment with a different shampoo. One of the employees at my local Lush recommended I try this product. I use this product when I shower in the evening, that way my hair stays grease free for my day to day activities.


LED Tweezers from Primark

For those of you who didn't know, I live in America. Most bloggers I follow are from Europe. All they ever talk about is Primark, Primark, Primark! When I found out a Primark was opening near me, I jumped for joy! I purchased a few sweaters and a few accessories. These tweezers retail for $3.00! Say goodbye to bushy brows with the built in flashlight.


I'm still on the hunt for a holy grail lip product. If you have any suggestions please comment them down below.
