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…]
It is safe to say I am in love with winter polishes this season. Holiday polishes are always stunning but there is something to be said for the “winter” themed shades gracing our lives this season.

Keep reading to check out the swatches & my thoughts on the Zoya Wishes Collection for Winter 2015! [Read more…]

Shall we talk about my love of glitter & glitz? I think we should! Nothing screams holidays to me quite like an abundance of shimmer & glitters. I adore the drama & the shine that catches all the lights. Glitter can get a seriously bad reputation- something meant only for the young & chunky + uncomfortable to wear. That just isn’t true anymore- there are options for us glitter aficionados…& I’m going to share one of my favorite intense shimmer options with you today!
Lorac Lustre Drops are nothing new to me- I pick them up whenever possible. I actually reviewed a similar limited edition set last year around this time which you can see here. The two shades of Lorac Lustre Drops that are permanent & available year-round are Diamond & Gold which are both gorgeous. Last year the shades in my set were Diamond, Platinum, Amethyst, & Topaz. Now this year we have the Lorac The Royal 3D Liquid Lustre Drops set which contains Opal, 24K, Rose Quartz, & Amethyst. Just in case you thought this was a repeat I wanted to clear that up!

When I’m traveling I have to severely limit my beauty hoarding. I do my best to avoid bringing unnecessary items that I normally use & instead opt for multi-taskers. Q-tips cotton swabs are an easy addition- I use them for a ridiculous amount of things. Both affordable & disposable, Q-tips are must-haves which I’m trying to get ready during the holidays. When I’m at someone else’s house I try not to leave a mess & they definitely help! Today I thought I’d show you my easy manicure routine that normally consists of many various items that I whittle down to my beloved Q-tips® Precision Tips™. [Read more…]

Textured polishes are still all the rage (to my personal delight!) so today I bring you 3 shades from the SinfulColors Full Throttle Collection for Summer 2014. All of the shades are textured with a “rubberized” texture which is unlike any of the other textures I’ve tried. Keep reading to check these babies out! [Read more…]
If you read my post on the new limited edition Maybelline Color Tattoo in Precious Pearl then you knew this post was coming. Maybelline Color Tattoos are just plain awesome, the only bad thing about them is that they can’t call be permanent! This collection brings about duochromes…let those angels sing. I passed on two shades (a yellow & an icy lavender) but I did pick up 5 which you can see below! [Read more…]
If you have been following me for awhile, then this post will come as no surprise. I’m obsessed with Maybelline Color Tattoos. Their price point is great & these shades have been a total hit. I’m found a few shades I’m not a huge fan of but you can always find a way to use them. From gel liners to eyeshadow bases to a fab eyeshadow on its own, I consider these must haves.
