Hello everyone! I’m super excited about this colleciton review! I’m loving that some of my favorite beauty YouTubers are starting to create their own products! I mean, they reivew cosmetics for a living so who better to create the best products! This week I’m reivewing the Laura Lee Los Angeles Nudie Patootie Collection. This collection includes her second eye shadow palette and three matte liquid lipsticks which are vegan and cruelty free. I love her first pallete, Cat’s Pajamas, so I knew I had to get this one when it was released. As for the lipsticks, I’m very particular about matte liquid lipsticks because I hate when they dry out…

Too Faced Chocolate Gold Palette Review
Hello everyone! Today I’m sharing one of my all-time favorite eye shadow palettes, the Too Faced Chocolate Gold palette. It never really got much hype, even during it’s release. It has some of the best metallic shadows I’ve ever tried! I’m actually quite surprised that it hasn’t gotten much hype. If you couldn’t already tell, I kinda love the palette. So let’s jump into the swatches and how the other shadows preformed. According to the Too Faced website: Take decadence to the next level with a luxurious gold and cocoa powder-infused eye shadow palette that smells as good as it looks. Have a major metallic moment with foiled shadows that…

2017 Beauty Favorites
Hello everyone! Like many say at the start of a new year, I can’t believe another year has passed! One year ago this month, I started blogging on a more serious level and my goal for the year was to post at least once a week. I’m extremely proud to say that I almost did so, only missing a 2 or 3 weeks scattered throughout the year. This year I hope to do the same but really step up my content and maybe update my blog’s theme. However, let’s get onto the real topic of today’s post. I’m going to welcome 2018 by going over my favorite beauty products from…

Arbonne Holiday Makeup Review
Hi everyone! Today I’m reviewing two makeup products from the Arbonne 2017 Holiday collection. If you’re new to my blog or haven’t read my older posts, I’m actually an Arbonne Independent Consultant. I was introduced to this amazing company by a sorority sister while job searching after graduation. Arbonne International is a health and wellness company that is all natural, vegan, and follows European guidelines in product production. When I was introduced, I had been doing research on the harmful chemicals in health and wellness products that are sold by well-known companies such as Maybelline, Pantene, and Garnier. Unlike companies in the U.S., Arbonne follows European guidelines, which means that…

October 2017 Recap
Hello everyone! I recently read on Britta and Carli’s blog, Twinspiration, their September and October 2017 Recaps. They’ve been posting these recaps every month for the past year. I love the idea behind these posts, it’s such a great way to record fun events and special memories! As much as I wish I was as busy as them, I definitely don’t at this point in my life. 😜 So, needless to say, I probably won’t be posting one monthly but I would like to post recaps for the more interesting months in my life. I had so much fun this month! Even though I work full time, I took a couple of weekend trips…

Fave Fall 2017 Makeup Trends
Hello everyone! With the fall season in full swing, I wanted to share some of my favorite Fall 2017 Makeup Trends. Most of my research and information comes from this Good Housekeeping article. I found that this article actually lists the trends while other articles only list the looks each designer had on the runway. Without further ado, here’s my top 6 Fall 2017 Makeup Trends. Two Tone Lips: The bottom lip is subtly darker than the top lip. I just love how this looks. A while back, a more extreme version of this went viral but I couldn’t get behind it because it wasn’t practical for everyday life. The subtler…

5 Fave Summer Lippies
Hello everyone! In celebration of National Kissing Day (July 6th), I’ve decided to share 5 of the lippies I’ve been loving this summer on my blog this week. I’m really loving easy, “My Lips But Better” colors this summer. My perfect lipsticks are ones that I don’t have to worry about touching up a million times or might move around my face. Also, please excuse the strange lighting in some of the photos. Since the move, I’m still figuring out the perfect place to take pics with natural lighting. In the picture below, I’ve swatched each lip color so you can get an idea of the tones and texture of each…

Surprising my Sister with a Sloth!
Hello everyone! A few months ago, I had the idea of an epic birthday present for my sister. As a lover of sloths, I thought it would be amazing if I could find a place where she could meet and interact with a sloth. So after a googling session, I found a facility somewhat near where we lived in Orange County! After some planning with my parents, we had everything set to happen right before the big move and we kept this a secret for my sister until the day of. We went to the Wildlife Learning Center in Sylmar, CA and went on the Safari Tour. This tour is…

April Faves
It’s that time of the month again, time for monthly favorites! I’m currently in the middle of packing to move from Southern California to Northern California so I haven’t been shopping for many new products because I don’t want to have to pack them when I leave. Although I haven’t purchased many products, I was able to “shop” through my current makeup collection and rediscovered some amazing products! This list is in no specific order so let’s jump right in! The first product is the NYX Strobe of Genius Illuminating Palette. I bought this at IMATS LA 2017 because I wanted to try different colored highlighters without breaking the bank. However,…
