Some Beauty Favorites from Past Birthdays!
So last week I turned 26! How about that? I actually had some real highs & lows this year but I think I’m coming out of it a much happier person.

Sleek Eye & Cheek Palettes in Dancing Til Dusk & See You at Midnight Swatches & Review
I’m still pretty new to the Sleek craze…but I’m getting pretty hooked. I picked up these newer palettes off the Sleek website awhile back when they launched. Blush & eyeshadow combo palettes can be seriously hit or miss in my experience…& unfortunately usually a miss. Has this budget friendly brand beat the odds & created winners? Keep reading to check them out! [Read more…]
LORAC Pro 2 Palette Swatches, Review, & Eyeshadow Look
I am still incredibly in love with my Lorac Pro Palette (full review here!). It made my yearly favorites (check them out here!) but it is so much more than that. Many of my go-to shades are in this palette & they really work for me. When the 2nd palette came out I was also immensely excited. Like more than a normal person should be about a palette? I picked this up quite awhile ago but I really wanted to use the heck out of it before reviewing…& now I have! Get ready because my Lorac Pro 2 Eyeshadow Palette review is right here right now!

Quick Look at New Palettes from IMATS LA 2015 + Customer Service
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…]
LA Girl USA Beauty Brick Eyeshadow Collection in Neons Palette Swatches, Review & Demo
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…]

The Smashbox Master Class 3 Palette is my Favorite! + Eyeshadow Look!
I’ve made a major error & I need to apologize. I’m so sorry I’ve fallen in love with a palette that has already sold out online except for Amazon. I tend to try & review items for longer than most apparently & not I’ve waited too long for this rave review. Trust me when I say you need to get your hands on this palette.
The Smashbox Master Class 3 Palette is limited edition & the first in the series I’ve picked up. The other palettes were pretty but just not what I was looking for. They weren’t as pretty as this one from what I can remember & something about the packaging just wasn’t right. They weren’t as travel-friendly which is important to me for when I actually travel. This palette contains 32 eyeshadows & 6 face products…& they’re gorgeous! Keep reading to check them out! [Read more…]
My Favorite Lipstick for Over 5 Years & Other Favorites
Today I wanted to take a break from holiday posts just for a moment to bring in a post I’ve had waiting in the wings since before I even cut my hair. I took these photos when I realized I was using some of my favorite products in my collection & realized this would probably be helpful to share. My collection is pretty vast so the go-to items are really important to me. & some have been around for ages. I just love favorites don’t you?
Have you ever picked up a lipstick & thought “I could wear this with everything…”? It is rare for me. I really do switch out lip colors seasonally & quite often so it is a pretty big deal. If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile now then you likely know I grew up raiding my mother’s Lancome stash. It was a pretty big deal. Although I know for a fact I’ve been using this lipstick for 5 years at a minimum…it is likely more like 10. I think it was 3-5 years ago that my mom & I randomly started a conversation talking about our favorite purse lipstick…& it was the same one. The one I’m wearing above is Lancome Color Design Lipstick in Love It! which is probably the best thing ever. I mean- that name? Was it not meant to be a favorite? This is the perfect, creamy pink & you’ll find it in my purse at all times. [Read more…]
