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…

Covergirl Total Tease Mascara Review
Hello everyone! This week I have another mascara review on the Covergirl Total Tease mascara! This mascara came out around the same time as the L’Oreal Lash Paradise mascara and because of that, I haven’t heard much about it. I’ve already reviewed the Lash Paradise and you can read my review here. This mascara retails for $8.99 at Ulta and comes in four shades (according to the Covergirl website). I purchased the Very Black shade from my local CVS. According to the Covergirl website, Full. Long. Refined. Sexy, teased lashes! Use the lash teasing mascara comb for ease and control to tease even the tiniest corner lashes for a full, voluminous…

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…

Origins Original Skin Matte Moisturizer Review
Hello everyone! This week I’m reviewing the Origins Original Skin Matte Moisturizer. I received a full-size container of this product from Influenster, complimentary for testing. It also came with a trial size of the Origins Original Skin Renewal Serum and the Origins Original Skin Retexturing Mask. To get a true reading of these products, I’ve been using them for the past month. It takes about 3 weeks for your skin to adjust to new skincare products so I wanted to give these products a fair chance. This is how everything was packaged and sent to me: Let start out with the full-size product. The Original Skin Matte Moisturizer retails for $34 and…

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,…

Milani Cosmetics Contour & Highlight Duo Review
Hello everyone! With the rising popularity of cream contour, I wanted to try out a drugstore version before diving into more expensive options. I don’t usually cream contour but thought I’d give it a try. I also threw in a bonus jonas review of the Make It Last Setting Spray since I’ve heard such good things about it! I decided to try this contour stick from Milani Cosmetics. Not only was it the most neutral shade I could find, but it also had a liquid highlight on the opposite end. This product retails for $11 and I bought mine from my local CVS. According to the Milani website, Contour &…

Liquid Lip Showdown: Kylie Cosmetics Velvet Formula vs. Crème Formula
Hello everyone! Ever since Kylie started branching out into different liquid lipstick formulas, I’ve been intrigued by how they all compare to each other. Obviously, a matte liquid lip dries down completely and will not transfer while her two newer formulas, the velvets and the crèmes, don’t dry down and aren’t transfer proof. I haven’t really had the chance to try out the crème formula, which debuted with the KKW collection, and have been curious how they compare to each other. So, this week I’ll be putting the two formulas against each other to test out the differences between them and to see which one I might like better! Let’s start with…
