To follow up my prior favorite post…we now come to face products. I really only chose my best of the best- the products I reached for time & time again. I’m currently across the US in California for IMATS LA 2015 & to visit my family- & a solid chunk of these are sitting in my travel bags right now because they’re just above & beyond fantastic! Check out my top picks from 2015 below! [Read more…]
Have brow problems? Me too. It is a sad fact but I try to be as upfront about it as I can on the blog especially. Because you guys understand me. I’ve tried & reviewed so many brow products recently (check out a bunch here) but I seem to be always on the lookout for the very best. & when it comes it beauty I always recommend It Cosmetics. As a brand It Cosmetics is a league of beautifying scientific geniuses so when I had the opportunity to check out the new-ish It Cosmetics Build-A-Brow Waterproof 5-in-1 Micro-Fiber Creme Gel Stain & It Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Build-A-Brow Brush #12 I was all about that eyebrow life.

Have you ever run across a makeup or nail polish brand that you had no idea existed? I picked up this nail polish at IMATS last year & it has gone untried…shame on me! This polish is called “Enchanted” but the brand is Beauty Treats…which I haven’t seen anywhere ever! I was able to find this shade on the Beauty Treats site here but you have to make a specialty order. Anyway…keep reading to check out this gorgeous shade! [Read more…]
I was really on a mission this year not to buy TOO much at IMATS LA for 2015. We know we’re moving in about 6 months (squeeee) so I’m both trying to save money & also purging a ton in my office. But could I go & not buy anything? Don’t be crazy. I picked up a few other items but I thought I’d just show the 4 palettes I purchased quickly. Full reviews will be swinging your way in the future but enjoy the sneak peek for now! [Read more…]
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that I am finally starting to stamp again? I made myself promise that if I was going to store all my gorgeous plates & such they needed to be shown some love! After a long hiatus of nail stamping I am so happy to bring you one of my favorite nail looks ever using Finger Paints Gogh with the Flow from their new for 2015 shades (full swatches & review here!) & my Born Pretty Store Nail Plate in QA86.

I don’t review extremely disappointing products often…but when I do I tend to rock out to angry music & really throw a tantrum. With all the beautiful makeup available in every single price range, I tend to get a bit angry when I spend money on garbage. & it is rare I call something trash or garbage too. Because of my DIY nature, I tend to go with the “make it work” anthem we learned so long ago from Project Runway. But sometimes…sometimes you just need to throw things. Meet the LA Girl USA Beauty Brick Eyeshadow Collection in Neons. [Read more…]
I am still enjoying this last bit of winter & now that the holidays have passed I am actually reaching for more winter-esque shades too. Being that this winter will be our last in a snowy climate for hopefully quite some time (woohoo!) I thought a flocked, snowy manicure would be fun! [Read more…]
Do you have any beauty resolutions this year? I try to keep some in mind each year- just to keep me on my toes! Keep reading to check out some of my goals for 2015 relating to beauty! [Read more…]
Lip products are likely the beauty item I change up the most. I separated all of these into colors as opposed to formulas because I wear similar shades throughout the year- but often in very different tones & levels of brightness! Keep reading to check out my favorites from all of 2014 & don’t forget to check out my other beauty favorites from 2014 at the bottom! [Read more…]
After I posted my Part #1 of the new Finger Paints shades for 2015…I figured I’d followup with the conclusion post! I think my favorite shade of the whole bunch is in this set too! You’ll see these shades being added to the permanent display at Sally’s Beauty Supply for 2015 so you should be able to snap them up relatively easy as well! Keep reading to check these beauties out!
