Lately life has kept me away from this little space, but when my Sydney Grace Cosmetics haul arrived I was so excited to photograph some makeup again! Every year Sydney Grace Cosmetics has a Christmas in July sale which features a new shopping deal every day for about two weeks. I couldn’t resist the mystery bag deal, I love surprises. Shoppers could choose from a warm, bright or cool toned…
View PostIf the BH Cosmetics Hanging in Hawaii Palette isn’t the perfect Summer Palette I don’t know what is. I first swatched BH Cosmetics eyeshadows while at an Ulta in Hawaii this past December, and it started my BH Cosmetics obsession. It was my first time trying their eyeshadows and I walked out of that Ulta covered in makeup. My family seemed confused about why I had tiger stripes of eyeshadow…
View PostWhy hello there! I hope you guys are having a lovely Summer. I don’t know about you, but one thing I always change up with the seasons is my nail polish. I tend to reach for dark moody shades in the winter and then pull out my bright vibrant colors in the warmer seasons. There’s something so fun about pink or yellow nail polish during the Summertime! I’ve been wearing…
View PostHow is it Summer already? This year has really gone by in a blur. It seems like just yesterday that everything was fine, we were going about our lives in blissful ignorance about what was to come. In early January I was feeling very optimistic, then… March happened. It’s been four months of lockdowns, quarantines, etc. and we’re only now starting to see signs of things returning to a new…

View PostWell hello there! It’s been a while since I last posted. What with all the indoor & outdoor home projects, as well as working full time and going back to school online I’ve been incredibly busy. I’m enjoying my studies. I’m about halfway through my first economics course and it’s completely changed how I think about the economy and government policy. It’s a little humbling to realize how little I…
View PostI feel like my Hydrating Milky Collection haul just went up, but shortly afterwards the Retinol Jasmine Collection arrived. I’ll be honest I’ve barely started transitioning the Milky Collection into my routine, so I haven’t had much of a chance to use the Pixi Retinol Jasmine skintreats. My skin has been pretty high maintenance this year so I’m hesitant to immediately start using these products. I’m planning on transitioning them…
View PostI am apparently now in the phase of my life where I can sometimes buy luxury makeup for myself. I recently splurged on the Viseart Paris Edit Eyeshadow Palette, and I spent three days pondering do I really need this? Should I buy it? Even a few years in I’m not really used to the idea that my husband & I have two incomes. When he went back to school we…

I saw my spoilers early and I was looking forward to using every single product. If you haven’t heard of Ipsy before it’s a $12USD/month beauty subscription that promises 5+ deluxe and full sized beauty products a month. If you…
