Detroit Beauty Haul

A few weekends ago I went on a trip to Detroit to see a Tigers game. Fortunately we got rained out so I didn't have to sit through nine innings of baseball (it's four too many if you ask me), but the best part of the vacation was the shopping! There are tons of malls to choose from with dozens of stores each, some high end and some more affordable...

My Summer '16 and What's to Come!

I’m not typically one to do lifestyle posts—for fun I usually just go to the movies and go shopping, nothing blogworthy. However, this summer has been really fun and I’ve actually done a lot of things that have been on my bucket list for ages! ...

August Ipsy Bag Review

Usually I find myself eagerly awaiting my Ipsy bag—I love being surprised by the products I get, and most of the time I get at least one or two items that I really enjoy and I use regularly. This month I had some debit card drama and had to get a new one. Ipsy couldn’t charge my card at the beginning of the month and by the time I updated my info, I wasn’t guaranteed to get an August Glam Bag....

Forty Beauty Questions Tag

If you know me you'll know that I love beauty tags! Thanks to Kathy from alongcamekathy.blogspot.com for tagging me in this, we have a lot in common so you should check out her answers as well! Skincare: How many times do you wash your face per day?  Only once, usually at night. Any more than that and I find that my skin gets dry. What skin type do you have? Combination/dry, but in the summer...

Recent Drugstore Purchases + Reviews

As of now, I'm going on a much-needed budget. I'm trying to finish up some products and save some money for the holiday season. Yep, I'm thinking about the C-word already! Not to mention those gorgeous holiday releases I've been seeing all over Instagram...my wallet is crying just thinking about it. But before I decided that I need to stop spending, I made a few drugstore purchases...

Lip Products on Rotation

I've been really enjoying experimenting with lip colors lately, whether they're bright and bold or light and nude. I've noticed myself reaching for these five over any others. Most of them aren't necessarily summer colors, but that means I can (and will) continue to wear them all year round...

Review: Irresistible Me Diamond Professional Flat Iron

I have been avoiding straightening my hair for the past few months, partly because I wanted to give it a heat break but mostly because my straightener had a chipped corner that made it difficult to use. I was just thinking about purchasing a new flat iron before school started when Irresistible Me contacted me and sent me their Diamond ceramic hair straightener* to try out. It had a lot of positive...

Summer Empties

The more products I finish, the more justified I am in buying new ones, so this summer has been all about finishing! I think I’ve done quite well so far, for me anyway! Completely using a product is the best way to see whether or not it works for you so my opinion on these products have been a long time coming. ...

If I Could Design an Eyeshadow Palette...

With all the recent palette collaborations out there, I started thinking about what my perfect palette would look like. Now I know you can create a customized palette through eyeshadow singles and a Z palette but I wanted to go deeper and imagine the packaging, the shadow names, everything! I was very bored at work one day and even started drawing out my dream palette...
