December Favorites

If you’ve been reading my past few monthly favorites posts, then you’ll know I don’t just include the standard beauty/hair/body products. Although I’m generally a beauty blogger, I don’t fall in love with enough new products each month to justify a post about them. Instead, I include entertainment-centered things that I’ve been watching, reading, or listening to over the past few weeks. Hope you...

Christmas Haul!

With two out of my three family Christmas parties out of the way, I thought I’d update on what I’ve received this year so far! Pictured above are: My favorite skinny jeans from Hollister One pair of Bearpaw knee-high beige socks (I received another pair in grey) Amy Schumer’s hilarious movie Trainwreck Three Caribbean Vanilla body butters in Original Vanilla, Vanilla & Coffee,...

Review: Nars Bronzer in Laguna

I have been testing out this bronzer for about a month and a half now and I use it daily! This is a great product for me and I don’t plan on replacing it anytime soon. First of all, the packaging. This bronzer comes in the standard Nars packaging, which looks very sleek and high-end but it attracts fingerprints SO QUICKLY. It includes a nice, big mirror and 8 grams of product, which is the...

Review: Clinique Long Last Soft Matte Lipstick in Matte Beauty

When I think of Clinique, I typically think of their amazing skincare rather than their make-up line. So when my aunt regifted me this lipstick, I was eager to try it out!   The packaging is quite pretty. It has random geometric shapes and stripes in different shades of orange, white, and pink. The lipstick itself is a dusky pink shade called “Matte Beauty”. It’s almost a Barbie pink that...

Holiday Party Make-up

With the holidays rapidly approaching, it’s time for a different kind of celebration. That’s right: holiday parties. While these can vary in formality, I always like to get dressed up for them. Whether it’s an ugly sweater party, New Year’s Eve bash, or a family Christmas party, I like to go the extra mile with my make-up when I’m getting ready for a holiday party. Special occasions deserve...

Review: MAC Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation

I purchased this foundation online about three weeks ago and I’ve been using it pretty much daily ever since! I really really like it. Let me break it down for you why! (Also you may have noticed that my hands are looking a bit roughed up--new kitten probs.) The Studio Sculpt comes in a small, chic-looking plastic tube. I find it quite easy to squeeze the correct amount onto the back...
