July Favorites

Is it just me or did July go by really, really slowly? It feels like it was months ago that I was celebrating the Fourth of July! Anyway, this has been the best month of the summer so far as I’ve had a lot of fun, and I’ve also fallen in love with a lot of new products which I can’t wait to talk about.

Real vs. Dupe: Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons palette

If you looked at the above photo without reading the post title you’re probably thinking, “why did she buy two of the exact same palette?”

High-end Haul

It’s no secret that I splurge mostly on makeup. Other than food, it’s definitely my biggest expense! Over the past month or so I’ve kept a running list of every beauty product I’ve bought so that rather than doing a bunch of little hauls I would do a couple big haul posts and include mini-reviews on the products I’ve had the chance to try.

Travel Makeup Picks

Okay, I’ll admit—I’m writing this post pretty far in advance considering my next real trip will be to Detroit in August. However, with my two-job schedule I often have to do my make-up on the go and pack only what I can fit in my makeup bag.

July Ipsy Bag: Review and Swatches!

Another month has come and gone and with that comes another surprise five products from Ipsy! This month may be my favorite month yet, I’m really happy with everything I got.

Review: Maybelline Color Jolts

I rarely wear a lip product two or more days in a row, so when I do I know I’ve found a gem! I haven’t been inspired to do a product review in a very long time but I love this so much I had to let everyone know.

All About Brows

My relationship with my eyebrows has been complicated for the past several years. My thick, dark, unruly brows require a lot of maintenance to keep them in an acceptable shape, let alone attempt the "Brow goals" looks that are so popular at the moment. Throughout the years I've developed a routine for grooming and filling in my eyebrows, but it's still something I'd like to improve on!

Review: Rosegal Jewelry and Clothing

A few weeks ago the fashion website Rosegal contacted me and asked me if I’d like to try out and review a few of their products. I checked out their website and figured it was worth a shot—the jewelry especially caught my eye and everything was very affordable. I picked out several items and overall I’m very happy with them! I did receive the products for free but this post is not sponsored, so all my opinions are genuine.

June Beauty Favorites

As I explained in part 1 of my June favorites, I loved so many things this month that I split them up into two posts, my beauty and pop culture faves.
