By the time you’re reading this blog post I’ll be in Thailand! I’m currently writing this blog post in anticipation of departing for Bangkok. I still can’t believe that I actually booked a solo vacation on a whim. It was one of my self growth goals that I set in my 30 before 30 list but saying is easier than doing sometimes. Now the…

In the beauty community it’s easy to get carried away. On instagram I tend to showcase looks that are elevated from everyday wear. The colourful cut creases and full makeup with lashes you see on instagram are a far cry from what I look like in real life. Now that I’m working full time I just don’t have the energy for a full face…

Hey beauties! Something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time is take some outfit photos. My problem was that it’s nearly impossible to get good lighting inside, and I feel incredibly awkward posing out in the world (or even in my house). I bought a new dress at Simons recently and I figured it was the perfect time to try out some…

Have you ever been completely and entirely surprised by how good a makeup product is? That was my exact experience with the Violet Voss Essentials Palette. Prior to receiving it in my September Boxycharm I had heard mixed things about Violet Voss, so I was completely thrown by just how buttery & blendable the matte shadows are! Today I wanted to share my review…

The Good Molecules team over at Beautylish contacted me about trying some of their products and after doing a little bit of research I absolutely had to say yes! Good Molecules & Beautylish sent over four products from their skincare range in exchange for my honest opinion. None of…

At the end of 2019 I’ll update you guys on my overall success (or lack there-of) in panning all 18 of the products on my list. I’ve committed to hitting pan on or finishing a ton…

I first saw the Becca Cosmetics Hydra Mist Setting powder in an Allie Glines video on Youtube. I thought the title of the video was kind of gimmicky, but I was shocked to hear that this powder actually felt like putting water on your skin. The powder is formulated with 50% water & glycerin, and even though it appears to be very much a…

The DC Latte palette is something that I purchased purely for myself, not because I wanted to review it for my blog. The Latte palette has been on my wish list since the first day it was announced. Of course I’m reviewing it now but my review was an afterthought. It’s something that I bought for myself more than my readers! I hope you guys…

Once again I was sucked into a subscription box plan. I’ve been off & on with Boxycharm for almost two years now. It’s the subscription that I recommend the most, but also the one that I tire of the fastest, and not for the reasons you might think. I get overwhelmed with Boxycharm because the value is almost too good for what you pay. Five…
