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…

Summer Faves 2017
Hello everyone! Happy First Day of Autumn! Since Fall is finally here, I thought I’d celebrate with a Summer Faves post. Now that summer is over, I’ve had the chance to evaluate the products I used the most over the past few months. So let’s just jump right in so I can get to the PSL that’s waiting for me at the end of this post! Arbonne Makeup Primer It’s been a while since I announced that I’m an Arbonne Independent Consultant and this is one of the first makeup products I’ve showcased in a favorites post. This is Arbonne’s Makeup Primer. As someone who has oily-combination skin, my T-zone…

Lorac Pirates of the Caribbean Review
Hello everyone! This week I have a review of some more items I got for my birthday! As a huge Disney fan, I love when they partner with cosmetics companies because, as Hannah Montana would say, it’s the best of both worlds! I get to play with amazing makeup that is themed with some of my favorite Disney movies. First, let’s talk about the eyeshadow palette. It retails for $52 and comes with 18 shades. According to the Lorac Cosmetics website: This palette features 18 brand-new PRO-formula eye shadows inspired by the film and a deluxe mini Front of the Line PRO Eye Pencil in black to craft a smoky,…

Birthday Haul 2017
Hello everyone! This past week I celebrated my 24th birthday so I’m keeping this week’s post on the shorter side. This year I kept the celebration pretty casual. My family and I went out to Boudin SF for lunch and had an impromptu photo shoot with the flowers at the mall where the restaurant is. Then later in the day we made a yummy homecooked dinner, saw Wonder Woman, and ended the day with a strawberry champagne cake from Whole Foods (which was delicious!). In today’s post, I’ll be sharing what I received on my birthday. Since I moved, I’ve had a hard time keeping up with blog posts so, thankfully…

Carli Bybel Deluxe Edition Palette Review
This week, I’m sharing my thoughts on the Carli Bybel Deluxe Edition Palette. I already own and love her original palette she released with BH Cosmetics and was very excited to learn she was releasing a new one. In all the hassle that went down as far as ordering from the BH Cosmetics website, I purchased my palette from Carli’s Pravana Beauty website which was great because the shipping cost less on her website! Here’s what the palette looks like: According to the BH Cosmetics website, This Carli Bybel Deluxe Edition 21 Color Eyeshadow & Highlighter Palette exudes the YouTube beauty mavens signature glam-girl style. This palette features 11 original shades…

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,…

Jeffree Star x Manny MUA Collection Review
When this collaboration was first announced, I was so excited and couldn’t wait to get my hands on these products! I love the Velour Liquid Lipsticks and the colors in this collection are absolutely beautiful! I was also excited to finally try the skin frost highlighters since I hadn’t had the chance to purchase one yet. I loved that this collection came as a set in addition to individual items. I was able to purchase the set of all three items, which included two Velour Liquid Lipsticks and one Skin Frost. The lipstick shades are Daddy and I’m Shook and the Skin Frost shade is Eclipse. These products are just…

March Faves
Like most people are saying, I can not believe it’s already April. At the end of last year, I had a life-changing realization that as I get older, time seems to pass so much faster. As a kid, I remember waiting and waiting and waiting for Christmas or my birthday to come each year and it felt like I was waiting forever! Now I’m surprised by the arrival by those days. Moving past that, this week I’m sharing my March Faves! I have a few new products as well as products I rediscovered this month so let’s jump right in! Rimmel Stay Matte Makeup Primer Earlier in the month,…

Wet n Wild Review
For this week’s post, I’ll be reviewing a few Wet n Wild products. I haven’t purchased anything from this brand in the past because I’d never really heard anything about it. Last month, Wet n Wild released its Photo Focus line. I’ve heard nothing but great things about the foundation and pressed powder so I went to my local CVS and purchased them. Since I’ve heard mixed reviews about the concealer, I decided to wait on that one for now. It was extremely easy to find my foundation shade because the display features the name of the shade in addition to a description. For example, I got the shade Soft…
