Well, that was the longest January ever. Normally in these posts I say “Wow that month went fast!” but January felt like it dragged on forever. I’ve been working more hours than I would like at my job and I got sick twice. Mike & I were also dealing with stress from working with realtors & mortgage brokers for our first home purchase. We’re very…

Hey beauties! Are you ready for the longest project pan post EVER!? Last month I mentioned to you guys that I was planning on doing a large project pan for all of 2019. In past years I’ve been running small project pans a few times a year but for 2019 I wanted to think big. I will be updating this series quarterly as opposed…

Hey everyone, I’m beginning a new series on my blog called “Break it Down” with a discussion of the recently announced Kylie Cosmetics Valentine’s Day Collection. This series will talk about releases that have been recently announced in terms of uniqueness and price per gram. I will also be sharing my final decision of whether I will or will not be purchasing it. Please keep in mind that I CAN’T buy anything right now as we just bought a house and we need to make sure we don’t deplete our emergency fund, but I’ll tell you if I WOULD buy these products if circumstances were different.

Oh ColourPop, you and your constant releases. The ColourPop Chasing Rainbows Palette was released as part of their 2018 Holiday collection and I wasn’t really feeling it for the Holidays. I wasn’t planning on adding it to my collection but this palette was included for free in a recent haul. Who says no to a free eyeshadow palette amirite!? My blogger friend Polished &…

I was rather surprised about that. These palettes are completely different in my opinion. The Give it To Me Straight palette is in a mauve & copper colour family while the Double Entendre…

In my most recent Fabfitfun box I received the Thrive Causemetics Brilliant Eye Brightener. I’ve heard a lot about Thrive Causemetics from Beauty YouTubers but I’ve never had the opportunity to try the brand before. I don’t purchase makeup and skincare directly from brand websites very often. Because Thrive Causemetics isn’t sold anywhere locally it wasn’t really on my radar. I was so happy…

I know that everyone has already moved on from the Boss Mood Palette to obsess over the James Charles Unleash Your Inner Artistry palette but the Morphe 35M Boss Mood Artistry palette is one of the only palettes by the brand that has actually captured my interest. And I just used the word “Palette” four times in once sentence. Good grief. I don’t know…

Hey beauties! Today I’m featuring a brand on my blog that is new to me, but that I’ve seen all over influencer accounts on instagram. I was recently sent some gorgeous synthetic lashes from Esqido to share on my blog & instagram account. I knew that Esqido made Mink lashes but I had no idea that they also had an assortment of synthetic lashes…

Hola beauties! Recently a PR package from Pixi Beauty showed up on my doorstep full of the entire Rose Infused Skintreats line. I saw this travel tote going around influencer’s instagram feeds but I wasn’t holding my breath for this package to show up in the mail. You guys know that I have a very small following in terms of influencers, I’m 1.5k range so…
